It had been our intention to have
built this depot this summer, but
the installing of the new district
terminals in South Bemidji requires
an expenditure of more than $780,.
600, and we have not the appropria.
ton at hand at present to build the
depot; however, work on the depot
will be commenced in the not dis.
tant future and when the building is
completed, it will be a credit, not
only to the M. & I. but also to the
rapidly-growing city of Bemidji.
Mr.. Gemmell stated emphatically
that the M. & I. was in no way at
tempting to obstruct the entrance OF
the 500 railroad into Bemidji; the
M. & I. simply desires to occupy
the land which the company owns
and to improve it's Accommodations
for passenger service in the city Of
Bemidji.

SEEKS REST IN III:
YOSEMITE VALLEY
President Very Weary When He
Left San Francisco.

San Francisco, Oct. AFTER a few
hours rest, following night of ban
quoting, President Taft departed for
a few days of real rest in Yosemite
valley. In spite Of his great strength
the president was a very weary man
when, after fourteen hours of almost
constant entertainment, he retired at
2 o'clock in the morning.
One of the features of the visit here
was the banquet at the Fairview no.
tel. Governor Gillett, in an address,
urged the maintenance on the Pacific
coast of a feet of at least sixteen bat.
tleships. He said:
"The battle for trade is on the Pa
cific. We have no island possessions
across the Atlantic and the navy is
drifting idly on the bosom of those
waters. We need the navy in the Pa
cific for the protection of our CON-
merce and for peace, not for war"
The president responded: "Now,
Governor Gillett wants sixteen or
eighteen battleships on this side of
the water all the time. Well, if yon
will guarantee that the only attacks
are coming on this side we will give
you the ships. But you forget that
the Panama canal will be completed
within four or five years and it will
double the efficiency of the navy and
will cut III two the distance by water
from the Eastern to the Western
coasts"
The president then turned his at
tention to the ship subsidy and again
gave that proposition his emphatic
endorsement.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Less than 80
per cent of the whole number of Off
GERS in the United States army are
graduates of the West Point military
academy and each graduating class is
about eighty short of the number nee

facts will form the basis of an effort
