long, so am not in position to
say very much in regard to the
future of Bemidji, but am of the
opinion that she will be a hustler.
Business has been very much
better than I expected and for
my part am very well satisfied
with Bemidji. ~.
Chief Bailey: We are going
to have the biggest boom this
spring Bemidji has ever seen.
We need another sawmill. A
commercial club wonld be a fine
thing. If the people here would
get together and quit knocking
we would land some pretty good
things here this summer. I
H. 9. Knopke: Never invested
a cent in Bemidji until last fall,
but have all my money right here
now. The town will be winner
it can'tbe anything else. Start
ed out last summer to look up a
new location, but after looking
over a number of places I came
back to Bemidji satisfied that our
town was ahead of them all.
S. Simpson: What do l think
of Bemidji? Well I think it is a
very good town, has many
natural advantages and central
location and with q few manufac-
turing industries established
here it will make a hustling little
burg. Bemidii isn't as large as
New York yet, but is growing
right along, but what it needs is
manufacturies-ttrat is what en-
ploys the labor and makes the
town. A commercial club would
be a very good thing.
VIC Kelsey. Be midi will be a
town of $4,000 or 10000 people.
Being q railroad center and gen
eral distributing point not to say
anything of ourlumbering, farm
ing and manufacturing interests
will make it the best little city in
the state. We have all the bust
ness we can handle and will add
to our force in the spring. Will
put out six launches by spring
five of which will be made
for parties outside the town,
F. M. Malzahn: Have always
thought Bemidji was one of the
best towns in the state and have
no reason to change my mind
There are some fine openings
here, particularly for a wholesale
fruit and grocery house, q sash
and door factory or a starch fac
tory. There are good openings
for most any line of business.
Think an agricultural association
would be a good thing, as agri.
culture is going to be an impor-
tant industry here before very
many years.
J. M. Hanson: When [ put up
my building on this tOwnsite
there were very few buildings on
the other side of the river, but
my building was the first erected
on this townslte. That was in
May, 1895, and there weren't any
other buildings erected until
along in the fall. Have watched
Bemidji grow from a small vii
lage until today it is one of the
livliest little cities in Minnesota.
A few years ago we expected to
see a town of 5000 or 5000 inhab
itants, but within the next two
years it will be between $1,000
and 10000.

ton in my mind but what this
town will have a good healthy
boom in the spring. Have been
in good many boom towns in
my time but this town will not
have a short boom and then die
