NINTH DISTRICT BANKERS
WILL MEET HERE IN 1910
Bemidji Will Entertain Fnanciers at Seventh Annual
Convention.-A.P. White Being Urged to Become
Candidate for Superintendent of Banks

The 1910 annual convention Of
the members of the Ninth Distric,
Group of the Minnesota Bankers
association will be held in Bemidji,
preferably during the latter part of
May and the first part of June, next
year, this city having been selected
as the meeting point for 1910, at the
sixth annual convention which was
held at Crookston yesterday. When
the order of business was reached to
name the place for holding the next
meeting, w. L. Winslow of Battle
Lake suggested that the next con.
vention be held in his village. A.
P. White, president of the Lumber
mems National Bank of Bemidji, on
behalf of the citizens of this place,
invited the association to meet in
here. Bemidji was selected, by an
almost unanimous vote, owing to the
superior attractions of this city dur
ing the summer months, and the
expressed desire of those present to
visit this hub of northern Mime
sota' and enjoy an outing while
attending the convention.
The meeting of the association
held at Crookston yesterday was one
of the most successful in the history
of the organization. There was a
large attendance; the good people
of Crookston extended every court
esq, and were exceedingly hospitable
to the visitors-altogether, according
to Mr.. White of this city, it was a
very enjoyable gathering of the
money-chargers'' of this district.
Among those from this section
who participated in the convention,
in addition to Mr.. White, were A.
Kaiser, cashier of the First National
Bank of Bagley; M. ]. Kolb, of the
Clearwater County Bank of Bagley;
and Louis Lohn and NJ. A. Hen
erickson of Fosston.
One of the acts of the association
of interest to Bemidji was the ad-
option of set of resolutions, one
section of which unanimously favored
the recommending of A. P. White of

steam, and furnish hot and cold
water to all portions of the block.
The main store room will be on the
first floor, where an elegantly-ap-
pointed place is provided for the con-
Quoting of any mercantile business,
with plenty of light and space.
The second floor will be set aside
for Office rooms and so arranged that
they will be comfortable, well-lighted
and heated and desirable for any
class of business men. There will be
eleven of these rooms on this floor,
and already the rental of several of
these have heen spoken for.
The entire building will be CON-
pleted in the most elaborate manner,
and the fnishings will be strik.
ing and handsome. It is Impossible
at the present time, to estimate
the exact cost ofrthe block when it
will have been completed, as Messrs.
O'Leary & Bowser state that they
have not yet let all the contracts fol-
minor portions of the enterprise, but
no expense is to be spared along
the line of general superiority.
G.. E. Kreatz, the local contractor
has the contract for the building oil
the block, and it is the present in
tention to have the building com
pleted and ready for occupancy b!

HAVE RETURNED TO LAKE
BEM|DjI FOR SUMMER
Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Mathews Will
Summer" at Riverside. MlIIers
Building Cottages.

Mr.. and Mrs. ". L. Mathews, a
vaudeville team which appeared last
winter at the Brinkman Family
Theater in this city as Mathews &
Mathews, have returned to Bemidjl
and are preparing to take up their
residence for the summer at River
side, on the lots purchased during
their former visit from the T. J.
Miller Real Estate company of this
city.
Mr.. Mathews has had fine log
cottage, 22x24 feet erected at River
side, on the Mississippi river a few
rods beyond the east shore of Lake
Bemidji, and is now furnishing the
house for the summer. He was the
first man to have a cottage built at
the new summer resort, Riverside.
They expect to 60 over to their
summer home next week.
While in Bemidji last winter
Mr.. Mathews purchased an excell-
ent launch and now intends to
enjoy the summer months on the
waters of beautiful Lake Be1nidii
and the Mississippi river.
T. J. and D. D. Miller, respec-
lively senior and junior members
of the T. ]. Miller Real Estate
company of this city, are also
erecting two fine log cottages,
each 26x26 feet, near the Mathews
home at Riverside. D. D. Miller's
house will be finished within two
weeks and the senior Mr.. Miller's
cottage about two weeks later.
The Millers expect to spend the
summer at Riverside, the men
coming over to to the office each
day in their launch.

the gentlemen having resided in
New Duluth, prior to coming to Be-
midi.
1t is the intention of O'Leary &
Bowser to conduct a mammoth sale,
for the purpose of selling out their
entire stock, which consists of large
quantities of dry goods, furnishings,
notions, shoes, clothing, etc., ad lib.
The sale will be commenced on
Wednesday of next week and con-
tinued until July 1st, at which
latter date, if anything remains of
the stock, it will be placed in a new
building and sold in bulk.
This sale will undoubtedly eclipse
anything of the kind ever attempted
in merchandising in Bemidji, and
prices will take a big tumble, in
order that the stocks may be dis
posed of expeditiously.
In connection with the dissolution
of the partnership now existing be-
tween Messrs. O'Leary and Bowser,
it is announced that the two gentle
men, mot as firm but as individuals,
will erect a throughly modern and
well-equipped combination store
and office building which will be
one of the most substantial an d i'm
posing blocks in the city. The
building will be erected on the lots
which Messrs. O'Learv & Bowser
own, on Third street, adjoining the

recommend that, as soon as changed
armory conditions make it practic-
able, the practice of allowing men to
keep rifles in personal possession be
discontinued.
"There is strong evidence in
every direction Of hard and intelli-

and his subalterns, which has
raised the company to a high state
of efficiency.

support from the city authorities
Il BemldJl,EwEo have provided a
new and commodious armory with

are proud Of the company and
encourage it in its efforts to estab
