SPEAKS WELL
Frank Bishoprick Thinks
 Tanana All Right.

Frank Bishoprick thinks the Panama country one of the coming great gold producers. He thinks it will constant ly improve and that 1t is good from one end to the other.
 "There is gold everywhere in the Panama country" said Mir. Bishoprick. "I did not hear of claim on which gold was not found when prospected and many of the claims will be good producers this year.
 "The rich country Is not confined to the section in the neighborhood of Fairbanks, but farther up the river in the Good Pasture country and all over that whole region gold is found.
 "All the Skagway people seem well satisfied with the outlook in the Panama and most of them will stay there.
 "I do not know a better country for prospector or miner to go to than the Tanana."
 Mir. Bishoprick arrived Monday morning on freight train. He came up the river on the Dawson.
 Mir. Bishoprick's estimate of the country is corroborated by Jack Bur nett, whose wife received letter from him yesterday, in which he stated that that country was good enough for him. He is going to stay there and recon. mends that his wife join him there.

This Indian was dissatisfied with the treatment Char lie accorded him and betrayed the se- cret to the two white men, who started out at the time Dawson Charlie did, led by the Indian, and arrived at the

How to Build a Town.

Property owners, if you would
build up your town speak en-.
couragingly of its future. Let
everyone know that your town
has openings for numerous en-
terprises that would require but
a little money and brains to
prove a success. Tell the calam-
ity bowler that in five years the
town will double in population:
that the climate is the best in
the world; that the soil is adapted
for agriculture; that the tenn
-porary enterprises that fur
nish employment will be replaced
by factories and mills Of per
manent nature. An anti-knock
club in every town would be a
good thing in the absence of a
good, live, wide awake business
mems ASSOCIATION. If you can
not put your shoulder to the
wheel, and you must be part of
the load that others have to push
along, don't drag your feet.

and People.

The Bemidii band gave its first
open air concert of the season at
the band stand on the dock last
night. Although some of the
members We're absent, Still their
splendid music was enjoyed by
at least one thousand people, who
crowded the dock to it's utmost
capacity. The wind blew almost
ia gale, which greatly retarded
the performers, preventing the
expression which otherwisewould
fhave been heard to better advant-
age at a greater distance.
The Instrumentation is very
much better than heretofore, and
many Of the selections, marches
and waltzes We're entirely new to
the large audience, who cheered
the boys to the echo.
The band never acquitted
themselves better, and really
surprised all who had supposed
that the organization had gone
to pieces" on account of the city
council not having provided the
means to pay a leader during the
past winter. Prof. Geo. Fuller
is again at the helm, which in
sures the future success Of the
band, and all excursionists who.
visit Bemidji this season can rest
assured that, so far as music is
concerned, they will be joyfully
entertained.
