EXCURSION TO RED LAKE
Will BE GIVEN SUNDAY
M, R. Z. & M. Ry. Will Run Specia
Train Leaving Bemidji at 9
s. in the Forenoon.

Many Bemidji people are looking
forward with anticipated pleasure
to the excursion to Red Lake
which will be given under the aus
pices of the Minneapolis, Red Lake
& Manitoba Railway company, next
Sunday, when special train will
leave Bemidji for Redby, and
from that place crowd will be
taken to most any point desired on
the shores of the famous Red Lake,
the largest body of fresh water
wholly within the boundaries of the
United States. "A.
The Red Lake railroad people
have given a previous excursion
this year, and the affair was very
we'll patronized, the people of the
city and many transcients who were
Bemidji guests at that time taking
advantage of the opportunity to
visit one of the most interesting
places in the entire state. That
excursion was so well enjoyed that
the management of the railroad has
been prevailed upon to run another
excursion.
The special train to Redby will
leave Bemidji at $50 a. M, and
returning from Red Lake will arrive.
in Bemidji at about 9 o'clock in the
evening. The new gasoline boat
which the railway company owns
and which is operated on Red
Lake, will be at the disposal Of
the excursionists, and where the
crowd will be taken depends upon
the weather. Should the lake be
stormy, it is more than likely that
but a short trip will be taken on
the boat. If the weather is fair, the
crowd will be taken to any point
on the lake desired.
There are so many interesting
points to visit on this trip that no
one who can should miss the excur-
sion. There is the old church and
burial ground at Redby, where the
Indians for years worshipped ac-
cording to their aboriginal ideas;
land the Indian agency, q short dis
lance up the shore from Redby is
always a place Of interest.
