years, and have met with much
success to the benefit of those who
have been affected with ailments of

Drs. Larson & Larson have been
located in Bemidji since the month
of September, 1906. They for
merly resided at Park Rapids and
visited .Bemidji each month. Their
business here increased so rapidly
that they, decided to locate in
Bemidji, being a central point for
their practice and they came here
with the highest recommends from
the physicians and surgeons of
Park Rapids as optometrists and
specialists of the eye.

the business which has been &C.

here, and have nothing but good
words to say of Bemidii and the
surrounding territory, which has
furnished them a very lucrative
business during the past year.

CAN ''PATCH''
BRIDGE

Prof. L. A. L. Waddell. the
bridge expert who stopped off here
enroute to Kansas City Saturday
and Sunday. was taken around the
city on a bridge inspection by City
Engineer Ralston and evinced
much interest in the Monroe st.
bridge. He said he believed 1t
could be patched up. Mr.. Ralston
this morning in commenting on
Mr.. Waddell's remarks said that
Mr.. Waddell was not in a position
to state positively that the struc-
ture could be patched up, but that
to do this it would be necessary for
him to have the sets of plans be-
for him. Mr.. Waddell's opinion
was given after a conference with
General Manager Huntington, of
the w. w. p. Co. The w. w. p.
Co. has all along desired the
speedy opening of Monroe st. and
has advocated that the structure
bep atched up instead of rebuilt.
1t would take long time to re-
build it either of steel or concrete
and in the meantime the company's
cars, which now are shut off on ac-
count of the unsafe condition of the
structure, would still be shut off.
