The lumberjacks have discarded
their winter name and have assumed
that of river pig. They are fitting up
for the various drives and will soon
bid the people of Bemidji farewell un-
till snow time next fall. They have
been a great source of revenue to our
merchants, both wet and dry, and they
fell sorry to part with them, if only
for a. few months. Au revoir, boys,
bat not farewell. The latch string is
on the outside for you.
Springtime is here ard so, also, are
a thousand nauceous cesspools and
filthy back yards, and front yards,
for that matter. 1t behOoves every
man woman and child in the commu-
nifty, to do all in their power to fur
Their the cleanliness of the city. Be
midi is advertised far and near as
most healthful city and pleasure re-
sort, and it would be a shame to have
any stranger come amongst us and go
away saying that we do not produce
what we advertise. The city ordinan-
ces are all that are required to cause
people to act regarding this matter
and they should not overlook these
facts through carelessness.
