Governor Eberhart, accompanied
by a party of state and railroad
officials, paid Bemidji visit Of
several hours Saturday afternoon
and evening. This is the second
time that the governor has visited
this city but his other trip was
made here in the winter when the
thermometer was low.
With the governor were Samuel
G. Iverson, state auditor; Julius
Schmahl, secretary of state; George
Ralph, state drainage engineer,
Judge Quinn and son, of Fair
mount; W. H. Gemmel, general mana
ger of the Minnesota and Inter-
national railway; Guy S. Powell, of
Minneapolis; A. w. Clark, of St.
Paul; John Coates, of st. Cloud;
Victor Willard, of St. Paul; Bruce
Kelly, correspondent for the Dis:
patch, and E. c.. Akerson, cores
pondent for the Tribune. At Cass
Lake, the party was joined by
Mayor Dumont, and by Mayor
Scribner, Of Walker.
Through misunderstanding at
Cass Lake, the Bemidji band failed
to be at the depot to meet the
governor, but later played several
selections in the Markham lobby
while the party was at supper. A
special car was used to carry the
party.
During the morning, the governor
and Mr.. Ralph inspected ditch No.
80 at Farris. They were caught in
the rain and were thoroughly
drenched before they reached Cass
Lake. When he arrived in Bemidji,
the governor was taken to the Mark
ham and he stayed in a private par
lor while his clothes were taken out
and pressed.
About five O'Clock, the party,
accompanied by about twenty local
men, were taken on trip around the
lake on the Yankee Doodle and the
Storm King. The: Storm. King had
loose shaft and could not make
full speed so that the trip was cut off
at Third Point in order that the
party might get back for supper.
The Yankee Doodle grounded when
it tried to get over the Diamond
Point bar and ]. @. Harris had to
get out with Mac and shove the
boat into deep water.
After supper, six automobiles took
the party on trip through the
residence section of the city, up the
Lake Boulevard drive, and out the
Turtle River road for four miles.
After returning to the Markham,
the governor was asked to inspect
the Crookston mill. At the mill, the
foreman took those who wished to
make the inspection onto the floor Of
the mill and explained the machinery.
From Bemidji, the private car
was taken to international Falls.
Today the party is in .Roseau and
will 60 to Crookston tomorrow.
