THE CITY IN DETAIL.

Bemidji is a city built after the most
substantial fashion. There is no other city
of her size which can exhibit greater num-
Der of substantial buildings or a fewer
number of shacks. Substantiability is the
watchWord in all that she does, and her
people are of one accord in maintaining
the enviable reputation which the city has
earned as to spontaneity Of putting up
suitable and modern buildings and such
as contribute to the advertisement of the
city.
The clogged and muddy streets, SO char
acteristic Of many growing towns, are con-
spicous by their absence. While no streets
have as yet been paved it will be but
short time before the city council will is
sue bonds to secure this much desired i'm
prOvement.
AS to sidewalks, Bemidji ranks among the
first cities in the Northwest She is girded
with cement and tagging from one end to
the other, and no dangerous pitfalls Turk
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-27
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.

OF both schools and churches Bemidji
has wealth. There are nine religious
denominations here, and the school enroll
ment amounts to LOO, an attendance
phenomenal in volume, considering that
the children of this commonwealth are
not forced to be breadwinners at an early
age fact which also reflects the pros
perity Of our population.
AS city's thriftiness is judged by the
soundness and resources of it's banks, in
proportion it is judged by the number OF
it's educational buildings, and church edi-
fees, it's school enrolment and the
strength of its church congregations.
At present Bemidji is wrestling with a
$35,0O0.00 proposition for erecting new
High School building, in which event the
present building will be used as a graded
school.
The people of Bemidji are extremely
gealous as to their educational and re-
ligious institutions, generous to a fault in
their support Of them and patriotic in
their protection Of them.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-27

in the way of the stranger who arrives
after dark, neither in the pathway of any
one else. The city council has been COM
mendably industrious in it's enforcement
Of sidewalk ordinances, and the people who
use them mOSt-the Wage-earners-are
thus protected against treacherous planks,
dangerous protruding nails and spikes, and
rotten or worn out lumber.
AS to newspapers, Bemidji has four,
chief of which is The Pioneer, the only
daily and weekly paper published in this
section Of the state. Bemidji has also
been designated as the city for holding the
county fair, and in manifold other ways
has proven her claim to priority over all
other cities in Northwestern Minnesota
Bemidji also possesses adequate tele.
phone facilities, is the County seat, and
consequently serves as the mentor of the
County's official affairs. AS Bemdji is
diligent and coming city, it will readily
be seen that she has no ideness or poverty
to contend with, and that her people must
of necessity be prosperous. The public
improvements daily being made absorb the
number of laborers who might, perhaps
otherwise be without an occupation, while
the fertile fields and numerous industries
which abound in. and about the city are
in a most flourishing condition.

ST. ANTHONY's HOSPITAL.

Even though the city of Bemidji is young
in years, she is old in benevolence and
charitable work. This truth is typified by
the existence of st. Anthony's Hospital, con-
Quoted under the direction of the Bene-
dictine Sisters Benevolent Association. The
hospital was erected in the year 1899, with
the advent of the first construction train.
Of course it was then operated on a small
scale, but since that time its success has
attracted such attention and good will that
it is distinguished by three-story
building. 1t provides sixty beds, fine gen

eral wards, ten private wards, it's own
laundry plant, the which contains modern
machinery operated by electricity, and
spacious quarters for the Sisters in charge.
The building is steam heated, it is cap
able of comfortably accommodating seventy
patients, it is thoroughly lighted by in
candescent lights, and is constructed
along the lines of the most scientific and
sanitary deductions and regulations. st.
Anthony's Hospital is another institution
which conveys the generosity and patriotism
of Bemidji's people, and is one which is
of extreme credit to the city.
