With the publication today of the
official program of the convention of
the Northern Minnesota Develop

at Brainerd December 1 and 2, in.
terest in the gathering is renewed in
Bemidji-birthplace of the associa.
tion-and plans are now on foot to
send special car from here filled
with Bemidji boosters.
1t is expected that the Commercial
club will take up the proposition and
arrange for the car, providing the
required number of business men
signify their intention of going. The
convention is open to all and the
idea is for Bemidji to send hundred
representative citizens to make the
best showing of any town in the state
at a meeting welding a power great
er even than that of the legislature.
Following a conference with the
executive committee of the Asso.
citation here Saturday night, Sec
rotary Mackenzie announces the
program for the big meeting. To.
day he is sending out invitations
to every one OF the 184 members
of the newly elected legislature
and to every state official.
More than 500 persons are expect
ed to attend the Brainerd meeting
and Bra:ncrd is mahing extraordinary
preparations not only to entertain
her guests in comfort but to show
them the progress of representative
northern Minnesota towns by
having her streets especially illumi.
mated. Clusters of lights are up and
a great Welcome" sign will blaze
out with electricity.
Secretary Mackenzie spent Satur-
day at Brainerd comforting with the
executive committee of the Crow
Wing Development association, and
he is loud in his praise of Brainerd
"Tne accommodations for the
visitors will be complete" he said
today, land the city's guests will
find everything has been done to
provide for their comfort and
pleasure. 1t, of course, would be
approriate for Bemidji to have the
largest delegation of any city, and
she probably will have. Those
who plan on going should notify
me so that they will be assured of
accommodations.
