LAKE DRIVEWAY FOR $4,000

1t is estimated by w. A. Gould,
chairman of the committee appoint
ed by the Commercial club, that a
complete driveway around Lake Be-
midi can be had for an expenditure
of $4,000.
According to Mr.. Gould, the com
mittee found it advisable to construct
the road as near to the lake as pos
sible, and that it should be built
through to Grand Forks bay, and
from there to the Omich and Clavin
farm, to the head of the lake, where
the road to Turtle River would be
joined.
The Turtle River road needs much
repairing, as does the road leading
from Nymore to Lavinia
How the money for building of
such a driveway is to be raised is a
problem yet to be solved.

FEAR LOSS OF DOORSTEP BABY
Mrs. Gagnon, Alarmed Lest Mother
May Come, to Adopt Infant. -

Following the first throb of joy
over the finding of a fine, healthy
month old boy baby on her door step
several day ago, comes the fear to
Mrs Frank Gagnon, 400 Minnesota
avenue, that, after taking the child
in and giving it home, the mother
who deserted her daughter will, some
day, come back to claim it.. 1
Because of this fear Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Gagnon already have taken
steps toward legally adopting the de-
serted waif, and this, as the result
of laws revised by the recent legis-
lature, will not, it is thought, be diff
ficult to do. 49,. Mil. w.
The child has been baptized in the

CITY SWAMP NOW DRY

In less than a years time, tract
of land within the city limits, six
blocks west of the high school build
ing, has been turned from a dismal
swamp, which had all the appear
ances of a floating bog, into we'll
drained dry farm tract, awaiting
only to be grubbed before being
plowed ~ 49,.
Sixty acres of this land, the near
est to the city is owned by C. L. Hef-
ron who took DR.. Smith president of
the board of education and the fol-
lowing board members on a tour of
inspection on Monday of this week:
DR.. E. H. Marcum, J. P. Lair, S. ].
Harvey and Superintendent Of City
Schools w. P. Dyer.
This is one of the sites considered
by the board for the new farm school
and it, is also been mentioned as the
possible location of the new fair
grounds. --
The successful drainage of the land
was accomplished by the digging OF
judicial ditch No. and with two
laterals and small privately con-
structed ditch,
More than 800 acres of land have
been drained with surprisingly re-
suits. Where a year ago water
covered the base of the trees, men
are at work grubbing. The trip
over any part of the tract can be
made without striking muddy
ground, and in fact, was made by
the above mentioned party
The main ditch is one and a half
miles long. 1t has fall from it's
source to mouth of about fourteen
feet which is sufficient to send the
water along with good current
The ditch with it's branches has done
it's work SO well that teams make the
trip across the tract and it has been
decided that properly constructed
road shall be made; one over which
automobiles can travel with ease.

pose to rest without making further
effort and continue it until there is
a final determination whether or not

purposes. 1T effected it in no way in
particular. ., f.:
Today, commencement day, is one

high school consists of ten boys and
girls, and nearly every school in Bel
trami county will turn out a gradu-

scholars next month.
Bemidji merchants are among the
active ones in catering for this
special business, the Barker Drug
and Jewelry store not having lost a
single week during the past two
months, in telling his patrons
through the columns of the Pioneer
about the special wares he has pur-
chased expressly for the graduates.

Bemidji High School will give their
class play and on the evening of June
