Bemidii citizens are stirred up
over the prospects Of securing the
biggest thing in our history. T..
B. Walker has agreed to put IN a
big saw mill here to work up his
timber, Of which one billion feet
lies in this vicinity, provided so
acres Of land on the south shore
Iof Lake Bemidji will be donated
for the purpose.
The Bemidji townsite company
has offered to donate one-half of
the required site if our people will
raise enough to pay for the origi-
nal cost Of the other half-$3,O 900.
The citizens have held several
meetings and a committee was SEE
lected to solicit funds for this pur.
pose. They are meeting with
fair success, and the required sum
will probably be raised.
The mill is to have a capacity
for 100, 900 feet daily, and the 10.
cation Of the mill here will be Of
untold benefit to the town.

The Bemidji telephone system is

beginning towonder howthey managed
to get along SO long without it. A
switchboard to accommodate $50 pa

speedy substitution of a larger one.
The system would have been operating
several weeks ago but for the delay in
receiving the cable. We have not the
