TACKLE SNOW
Louis Hill and Other Officials
Try Hands at Shoyeling
the Beautiful.

Vice President L. w. Hill, Gen
eral Manager Ward, General
Superintendent Slade and other
lesser officials of the Great
Northern were given taste of
real railroading at Niles, when
for three hours the members Of
the railroad party were re
.quired to handle shovels in order
to dig the train out of a snow
drift that formed while the crew
was engaged in giving assistance
to Train 3, which had stuck in
the snow at Niles. After the
coast train had been started on its
way it was discovered that the
engine Of the special was frozen
up and that the snow had drifted
so high that several hours were
necessary to get the special on
it's way again. The only brake
man that Conductor Mayer had
on the trip was sent out to flag
any trains that might happen
along This left the conductor
with a party Of railroad officials
of high degree and lot of
shovels. The officials were equal
to the task and Louis Hill and the
other mem bers Of the party are
with shoyeling snow like
section bosses.

For some time past the
Messrs. Lang & Carter, real
estate dealers have been en-
deavoring to interest Bemidji
capital in the establishment of a
broom handle factory here, and
owing to the fact that il has not
met with sufficient encourage

from Nary and in all probability
will accept them and establish
the factory there.
The broom handle factory will
be started in a small way but Mr..
Lang believes that by proper
management it may in a short
time become an important indus.
try. He guarantees to market
$500 worth of product weekly
from the inception of the factory.
He has made efforts to have sew
eral minor concessions given him
in the way of announcement but
has been unable to carry out his
projects and is naturally some
what disappointed.
The proposition made him at
Nary is very liberal and if it is
ace opted it is probable that all
the interests of Lang & Carter
in this city will be transferred to
that village.
