.Be,,aitljj, the Most Bedatti-
fxJ!

The Minneapolis Journal OF Tues
day says the following pretty things
about Bemidji:
The federation party divided at Cass
Lake, most of them going to Duluth,
where they spent Sunday, while a
small party went on to Bemidji. This
was found to be much the most beau
tiful town visited, and one that gave
every Indication of prosperity that
is likely to be permanent. 1t IS not
able exception to most of the towns
established in the pine regions, for
the owners of the tOWnsite evidently
had faith in its future, and prepared
for a town life beyond that Of the pine.
They have taken, therefore, great
pains to preserve every tree possible,
and have improved the high bank of
the lake in the town. The lake is one
Of the most beautiful in the state, and
the hand of man has not yet desecrat-
ed it's shores. The example set in the
town has had its effect, and no APP
preciable amount of timber has been
removed from the shores anywhere.
1t is probable that here considera-
tions of beauty will prevail, and
enough trees will be spared to pre-
serve the charm of the lake. This
can be done without Withdrawing from
sale any noticeable amount of market
able timber.
The party learned at Bemidji the
interesting fact that the law regul at
ing forest fires is considered fully
effective there, and, although there have
been frequent scares this spring, the
fires have been controlled without
damage or serious difficulty. 1T is
noteworthy that Bemidji is off the res
ervation, and it is to the interest of
it's citizens to prevent fires Alto
gether the day at Bemidji was an in
teresting object lesson on what lumber
towns might and can be.

gold mine which is being developed
and which promises to become one Of
the richest properties on the range.
He has been living in Rat Portage for
four years and IS pretty fair Cannck.
He Is as enthusiastic about the Lake
of the Woods gold region as he ever
was about the future OF Duluth, and
never misses an opportunity to do
good for his town and company.
Rat Portage was a surprise to the
members of the association. II had
been supposed bv them that it was a
small lumber town of possibly three
thousand people, but they found it a
fine little city of over ten thousand,
with three big saw mills, two gold
mills, besides the Sultana plant, a
1000 barrel -four mill, q water power
of 10000 horsepower capacity, and a
water frontage that makes the place
an ideal summer resort. The post
office building is a fine. brick and
stone structure, and the opera house
is as complete as most cities of 10000
can boast. The store and hotel
buildings are mainly of brick and
stone, and the stocks of goods large
and we'll selected. Many of the party
squandered large sums of money re-
ceived from subscriptions on souve-
Mrs that were dazzingly displayed in
the shop windows
Rat Portage has q boat mouse of
which it may well be proud. 1t is
stocked with row boats of all kinds
and sizes, and has besides about fifty
canoes, paddlers, made of cedar in
the pattern of Indian canoes, and all
carpeted and seated and cushioned in
fine style and manned on this occasion
by the best young men of the town,
who kindly took our best girls out
with them in a canoe fotilla and
gave them the range of the harbor
until nine O'Clock in the evening. We
got even with them at the ball in the
evening.
Ii Captain Graham, who commando S
the excursion fleet of steamers that do
duty on Lake of the Woods, is big,
genial fellow who would have done
credit to old Mississippi river steam
boat days. He gave personal atten-
ton to the trips of the Keenora and
made them successful in the highest
degree. We will remember him.
