The advice to boom Bemid il as
a summer resort is not new; we
have been told it often before,
and many citizens have been do

interesting as coming from a
total stranger with quick eye

The Pioneer believes, as many
of our leading citizens do, that
Bemidji is destined to become
the favorite summer resort of
the state if the proper methods
are pursued in stimulating the
movement this way.

denied categorically the reports

him from indulging in cruelties such
