Canadian boundary line, making
connections at Funkley with the

ton. is made at Bemidji with the
Northern Pacific railway company's
trans-continental system.
Then we have the MINNEAPOLIS,
Red Lake and Manitoba railway, an
independent line extending from Be-
midi northward to Redby or Red
Lake. This latter line taps the Red
Lake Indian Reservation which re-
serve its tributary to Bemidji.
There is every reason to believe
that the 500 railway will extend its
road from Thief River Falls to Du-
luth, and preliminary surveys have
already been made of a proposed
route, extending from Thief River
Falls in southeasterly direction,
tapping Bemidji and the North
country intervening and go east in

will be investigated by the members
of the committee, and they stopped
off in Duluth long enough to have a
hasty breakfast.
ttIn the party are the following
members of the committee,
appointed by the legislature to
inspect the site for the new state
normal: Senator S. D. Works,
George French, w. A. Hinton, ].
G. Hardy; Representatives S. E.
Gartside, c. E. Jorgensen, ]. N.
Burnquist, c. L. Sawyer and
Henry Rines. Besides the nine
members of the committee, Sen.
ators D. A. Gum of Grand
Rapids, D. S. Hall, A. S. Camp
bell and Representative John
Goodspeed aud A. A. Poehler
were with the party. Stenogra-
pliers and clerks accompanied the
party.
"Cass Lake will be visited, and
then Bemidji, Thief River Falls
and Park Rapids. The members
of the committee consider that
only three towns were really to be
considered in the matter of choos-
ing the site for the normal school.
Cass Lake, Bemidji and Thief
River Falls are the three towns
that stand chance of having the
school established there, with the
chances favoring Cass Lake.
Senator S. D. Works stated that
the members of the committee were
of the opinion that these three towns
were the ones with the most valid
claims for the normal school, and it
would be the duty of the members
of the committee to choose the town
! best qualified for the site of the
school.
We are an unbiased committee,
and shall look over all the towns that
are contending for the honor said
the senator.
We expect to be gone about FIVE
days. There has been a good deal
of routine matter in the present SEES
sion Of the legislature, but there are
many important bills under consider
alton at the present time, and there
will be some very important legisla-
ton up before the adjournment Of
the session.
The members Of the party had a
private car, which will be at their
disposal until their return to St.
Paul."

under the auspices of the R. H.

The hall was crowded to the

Bemidji is railroad center second
to no city in northern Minnesota.
Bemidji is penetrated by two diff
erent systems of the Great Northern
railway, both of which have close
connections, both going and coming,
with transcontinental lines of this
great road.
One is the Grand Forks-Duluth

a drive about that village, visiting
what are claimed to be two different
sites for the normal.
One of the sites is just north of
the village proper, while the other
is near the lake, with low land inter-
vening, between the hill and the
lake shore, which is swampy in warm
weather, but which is now frozen
over.
When the crowd returned to the
village a banquet was served at the
Endion hotel, beginning at about 7
o'clock.
Hon. William O'Neil. of Wiscon-
sin, superintendent of logging for
the U. S. government on the Chip
pewa reservations under the terms
of the Morris law, presided at the
banquet in his usual urbane manner
and several brief addresses were
made by residents of Cass Lake.
A smoker" was held, after the
banquet, at which none but holders
of tickets were allowed.
More addresses were made, and
claims of Cass Lake against the
whole north country were again
followed out, as has been the line Of
argument from the start.
The committee spent the remain
der Of the night in their private
car, and left this morning for Park
Rapids.
Cass Lake people, with one
accord, were loudly proclaiming
that Cass Lake already had the
school, and went so far as to

The joint subcommittee of the
of the house and senate normal
school committees who are making
a tour of the cities which are -candi-
dates for the school for the purpose
of looking over the sites arrived in
Bemidji at about 4 o'clock this after
noon, having come up from Park
Rapids on a special train, several
hours ahead of the original schedule.
Although the changing of the
time in the arrival of the committee
interferred somewhat with previous
arrangements, the people of Bemidji
demonstrated that they were. at all
times prepared to entertain strangers
within their gates, and committee
was on hand at the depot to extend

At the hour of going to press with
the Pioneer, the visiting delegation
is being shown about the sites and
are visiting all the many places of
interest in and around the city. *ez
The program for this evening will
be carried out as originally intended.
A reception will be given to the
visitors at the Hotel Markham, at
$3.50 o'clock. This affair is entirely
informal, and every citizen of Be.

assist in extending generous well

The banquet will commence
promptly at 9 O'Clock, and only
the limited size of the banqueting
room precludes the entertaining OF
every man, woman and child in
Bhmidji; the committee desires
the Pioneer to state that only
those having tickets can be
admitted to the banquet.
The visitors will depart on the

It is the intention to extend this

be brought from the section north
of Wilton direct to the mills at Be-
