F. S. LYcAN.
Popular Hotel Man Of the Great Northwest.

Mr.. Lycan has been a resident of Be-
midi for two years only, coming her from
Crookston, where he disposed of his hotel
interests in order to assume the manage
ment of the Markham hotel the largest
and most luxurious hotel in the state, bar
ring the Twin Cities and Duluth The
Markham hotel interior and exterior
views of which appear in these pages, is
three-story building, not counting the
basement. 1t contains eighty-two rooms,
aside from those assigned to the help,
and it's furnishings are superb in every
way that that term implies. Every room
in the house is commodious, clean and
perfectly ventilated, the furnishings of
each are conducive to absolute comfort,
while the bedding is all that could be de-
sired by the most fastidious or affluent,
both as to freshness, cleanliness and tex
ture. The hotel contains private bath
rooms, an exceedingly spacious office, and
dining room sufficient to accommodate,
in an emergency, several hundred persons.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-27

1t is steamheated, the service afforded is
of the sort that all high-class hotels OBJ
serve, and every detail for the convenience
and comfort of guests is painstakingly
attended to.
The cuisine of the Markham hotel
should be especially noted, as should also
the table service. One of the best chefs OBJ
tainable is retained to produce the appe-
tizing dishes for which the Markham is
noted, plenty of help is employed so that
promptness as we'll qualification may
enter into the preparation of a meal,
while the culinary equipment lacks moth
ing which facilitates service and improves
the cooking, baking or roasting of edibles.
The table service is metropolitan in every
respect, elegant silverware and immacu-
late linen forming important adjuncts.
The tables are conveniently arranged, thus
allowing either privacy or party gather
ngs, and corps of polite mattresses
serves the guests.
The Markham hotel is indeed decided
credit to the city of Bemidji, as it re-
fleets the fact that this city is an impor-
tant railroad center and distributing
point else how could frst-class hotel
exist here? The citizens of Bemidji are
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-27

correspondingly vain in their boast that
they possess a hotel of this magnitude
and class, and for this they can be par
dOned without comment.
F. S. Lycan, the proprietor of the
Markham hotel is a man of many years
of practical hotel experience He can
comprehend the neds of his guests, and
he sees to it that their wants are at
tended to- Although having been here
for but two years he has exhibited bust
ness sagacity that has served as the me-
dunn which impelled his election to the
presidency of the Bemidji Commercial
Club, and he is conded to be one of the
most useful and progressive citizens Be-
midi can claim. He is not only alert to
the exigencies of this day of grace, but
he continually puts into practice all feas-
ible theories which are suggested or
which may arise. By virtue of his tenure
of service in the hotel business, Mr.. Ly-
can can claim legion friends, he is one
of the most widely known men in his
business to be found in the state, and
The Pioneer can unhesitatingly endorse
Mr.. Lycan as one Of the most energetic
and ingenious men that the city affords.

PATCHED UP HIS
SPINAL CORD

Annapolis, Nov s.--After lying in
an almost totally paralyzed condition
since the injury to his spine in the
Villa Nova-Navy football game three
week ago. Midshipman Earl d. Wilson,
quarterback the naval academy
football team, was operated on this
afternoon in an effort to save his life.
The operation is considered success.
and the chances strongly favor his re-
covery, it is said.
After once abandoning the opera
ton as practically hopeless. the sur
geons at the naval hospital where
Wilson has been since he was injur-
ed, held another consultation this
morning and determined to perform It.
Wilson who has retained his mental
faculties and been in 9, cheerful mood
all along, was anxious for the opera
ton, although he did not realize fully
the seriousness of his condition. The
operation consuming nearly two hours
was performed by Surgeons S. f.
Stokes, j. Fl. Iden, e. F.. Woods and
Assistant Surgeon G. f. Cottle, all of
the navy. DR.. Walton Hopkins of An
napolis was present. Later the fol-
lowing statement was issued:
THE operation was successful in
every way. Parts of the laminae of
the sixth, fifth, fourth and third GER
vical vertebrae we're removed and
pressure from bone fragments relieved.
The casing of the spinal cord was
opened and careful inspection made.
1t was found that the-cord had been
dangerously compressed beneath the
fourth vertebrate, due to the disloca-
ton of that vertebrate. All indica-
tions were carefully met and the pa
tient left the table in excellent condi-
ton with his chances decidedly inn
proved. The outcome depends on the
extent of the original damage to the
spinal cord"
1t was found that above and below
this point of pressure the cord was
perfectly normal Experiments by the
surgeons showed that while smaller
and much compressed, there were
some pulsation and signs of life in the
injured portion of the cord.
