Plan Will Make the Club an I'm
portantFactor in the Material
Growth Of Bemidji.
AT the regular meeting of t.

At the regular meeting OF the
Whist club last evening an m
formal business meeting was
held and the matter Of re-organ-
ling the club was discussed at
length. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the members present
that the club could be made OF
great value to Bemidii and TO the
business interests of the city II
properly organized to that end
and it was voted to lay the matter
before the entire membership OF
the club at meeting to be held
Thursday evening of next week
at the club rooms.
When the Whist Club was
first organized it was hoped that
IN time it might be made a sort
of commercial club and SO assist
materially in inducing industries
to come to Bemidji, in getting
capital to invest here and IN var
ious ways promoting the welfare
of the city. It's felt that the
present is an opportune time to
enlarge the sphere of the clubs
usefulness and the idea that the
club be re-organized as a "Busi-
ness Mems Club was enthusiasts
tically discussed last evening. 4
committee consisting of r. w.
Hitchcock, f. N. Lang, }. A. Lud-
ington, e. III. Winter and W. L.
Brooks was appointed to wait
upon the members of the club,
lay the matter before them and
secure a full attendance at the
meeting next Thursday evening
when the matter will probably
take definite form.
Numerous members OF the
club have been interviewed in re-
gard to the matter today and the
reorganization idea is favorably
received by all.
Along just what lines the club
will be re-organized is a matter
that the meeting next Thursday
evening will determine but the
idea of a Cuisines Mems Club"
for both business and social pur-
poses was the idea which APP
pealed strongly to the members
of the club presentat last nights
meeting and the conviction is
strong that in some such way the
club may be made an -organiza=
ton of great value to the city.

the winged creatures home to the mind
of every person present and carried
his hearers, in imagination, over the
fields, up the mountain sides and
down the valleys where he himself
had travelled in reality.
He showed the existence of different
species of birds for different climates
and cited, rs an instance, that, in a
stretch of fortv.five miles from the
coast of Mexico inland, he found as
much different forms of bird life, as
from the same point on the coast
