in limtless quantities, and so will continue
for many years to come.
The recently organized Business Mems
Association had for its prime object in so
organizing the promoting and encourage
ment of new Industries to locate in this
city Every leading business and profess

welfare at heart, is a member of this Or

which are offered, available sites for fac
tories, and any other necessary details.
A BEAUTIFUL SITUATION.
The city is charmngly situated on the
shores of two beautiful and picturesque
bodies of water, the larger, Lake Bemidji,
being something over six miles long and
from two to three miles wide; it borders
the eastern edge of the city extending
north and south On it's beautifully wood
ed banks, which rise abruptly some fifty
feet from the waters edge, is the lake
shore boulevard, forming a most delight
full drive in summer, and one which is cool.
ing and exhilirating Adjacent to the
boulevard are situated some of the most
elegant and substantial homes in the city,
and the immediate vicinity is regarded as
the most desirable residential section of
Bemidji, reproductions of which are to be
herein observed, although other sections
as we'll, possess numerous fine dwellings.
Lake Irvine skirts the southern boundary
of the city and is about one mile in di-
ameter, presenting an almost complete
circle.
The social, religious educational and
charitable features of this city, notice of
which is to be found in another column,
epitomized in necessarily brief form,
and it may be added in passing, that an
atmosphere of wholesome religious senti-

this community, as indicated by the Be-
midi Bible Conference, which annually
holds it's sessions here! The school curri
culum and advantages, grade for grade,
will compare most credtably with any in
the state, as proved by the recent election,
allotting $35,000.0O for the construction of
new high school building.

Little Blaze Made a Big Glow and

Of the City For
Short Time.

At the rate the new year is starting

1909 will be long and disastrous one.
Within the past few days there have
been a number of bad fires, including
two dwellings entirely destroyed.
There was another blaze last night
which lit up the north end of town.
The fire was at the barn at the rear
of the residence of Ed. Ackley, No.
1106 Orleans street, and the barn was
burned down together with the con-
tents, including horse owned by
George Snyder, who used the barn for
his horse
The barn was one story frame af-
fair, not very large but large enough to
make a great big blaze and light up
the sky so that everybody in town
could see the blaze lad they looked.
Wrapped in Flames.
The alarm was turned in at 2:10
this morning and the department made
a quick run out Eleventh street to the
blaze. The fire had made great head
way and the barn was wrapped in
flames when the apparatus and men ar
rived.
Two lines Of hose were laid, but only
one of them was brought into use and
the fire was soon under control and
the blaze extinguished, but the barn
was mass of ruins by that time and
virtually entirely destroyed.
The firemen noticed the remains of
a horse in the ashes, the animal hav-
ing been roasted to death in the blaze.
The fire is supposed to have been Of
incendiary origin.
Shortly before the alarm was sent

fl I'd in the vicinity and in the absence
of any other explanation of them, it is
that some one took this
means of rousing the PEOPLE.

any examination on the complaint served
by Mr.. Van Alstine and can offer no
opinion as to that part which declares
that the law prohibits the assembling of

The state would fail to officially

have been held and nominations made

of the law but beyond an expression Of

lowings have no binding effects. Nor

ings given any recognition under the

Cracksmen at an early hour today at

ford, Wis. They succeeded in blowing
OFT the outer vault door and partly
wrecking the door of the inner safe with
nitro glycerine but left empty-handed.
PREVIOUS TO reaching Waterford, the
burglars stole horse and buggy belong
ing to L. J. Ierhalen. Finding the horse
TOO slow, they stopped at the next farm
Howard FOreman's, and exchanged
horses and stole about thirty grain sacks
and Il number of blankets.
On reaching Waterford, the robbers
stopped at a blacksmith shop and Sc
cured number of tools and also filled
the bags full of manure. They then
went to the rear of the bank building
broke open a window and crawled in.
The robbers then placed the bags around
the outer door of the vault and succeed
ed in opening that, and also partly
wrecked the interior door, but failed to
get i'll the strong part where the money
and securities were kept
They evidently became frightened then
and left. They drove to Corliss where

GROWING EUCALYPTUS TREE.
Millions in the Timber, Which Attains
Height of Nearly 100 Feet.

About the most profitable industry re-
Gently developed is the growing of the
eucalyptus tree, says Van Norten's
World Mirror. The bureau of forestry
reports that 500 trees to the acre is the
proper planting and that ut the end of
average height of 90 feet and be IL
inches each in diameter, according to
estimates made in California.
This acre would contain 100000 feet
Of hardwood, the average market price
Of which at present is S25 per thousand.
Therefore, if you have the price of 100
acres of land in the eucalyptus belt.
plus the price of $4,000 trees (nrusery
stock), and enough spare cash to defray
the cost of cultivation, etc, and you are
sure you will not need any of this cur
rency for decade, there is quarter
Of million dollars waiting for you.
The eucalyptus thrives best in south
ern California, where there is 10 dan
ger of frost. Paintings have been made
IN the hottest parts of Arizona, in south
western Texas, in New Mexico and
Florida, bat California wears the blue
ribbon to date.
The red gum eucalyptus was supposed,
% be the best frost resistant of the whole
eucalyptus family, and yet it was killed
back almost to the roots by frost in the
northern part of Cemoron county, Tex,
though the thermometer registered only
20 degrees above freezing. The big gum
variety was first introduced in California.
IN 1856, and for many years it was re-
garded as good only for firewood. Re-
Gently, however, the forestry society of
that state has caused a series of in
vestigations to be made, and the conclu-
sion has been reached that the eucalyp-
sus has a tremendous future, and is to-
bring untold wealth to southern Cali.

growth
