| same shopping time in Bemidii. The
new service will also enable Bemidii
business men to go to the agency at
Red Lake in the afternoon and be
back in time for business in the
morning.
The Red Lake line has been max
ing many changes during the fall.
Several thousands of dollars were
spent in ballasting the roadhed and
/ in bringing the track up, to grade.
The work was completed on Section
2 before the cold weather stopped
operations and will be finished on
Section 1 and in the spring. The
track is being raised four inches In
places.
On November Is the track lead
ing into the old townsite of Nebish
was abandoned and with it the old
townsite was abandoned also. Ne
bish has been moved to what was
formerly called Whitefsh Junction
! and the Junction is no longer on the
map. The Nebish station is now To-
Gated in the old Crookston ware
house at the Junction and e. n.
Tschoepe has been installed as agent.
J.. J. Ospahl, William Everts and
William Russell were in the new vii
lage of Nebish last week and return
ed to Bemidji Thanksgiving day after
having plated the new townsite.
The lots have been made rs by 140
feet and there will be alleys between
each two streets. Lots will be plac-
ed on sale within a week or two "a
the price has not yet been fixed.
Fred Cook, who has been operating
saloon and lodging house at the
old Nebish location, will move to the
new townsite in the spring and ia
planning to erect building suitable
| for hotel purposes. At the present
time the saloon of Cook and general
store of P. K. Rustvold are all that
Lis left at the old townsite.
| E. M. Tschoepe will build a gener-
al store on the new townsite In the
spring, the Red Lake line is to con-
| struct modern depot, and several
residences will be built. At the pres
| emit time camps are being operated
| by Page and Hill and the st. Croix
people. The Crookston Lumber COM
| pany has it's camps and located
| to the west of Nebish and the Be
midi Lumber company will have
camp to the north. Both companies
are cutting timber on the reservation
this winter and tote their supplies
from Nebish They are connected
with Nebish by private telephone.
The cedar yards for poles and posts
at Nebish are being enlarged aud
| will be able to handle several thou
sand more this year than last. Sew
eral farmers have come into the coun-
try this fall and are preparing to
lmove their stock and machinery on
the land in the spring. The Hay
lCreek school house, in which Miss
tVaatveit instructs the youth of Ne
Ibish, has now twenty scholars and
texpects more in the spring. Settlers
are enthusiastic over the prospects
lof the country and say that in q
}year or two Nebish will be the best
town on the Red Lake line.

|site has been abandoned and the
town moved, the postoffice is still
run by P. K. Rustvold in the old
Red Lake station Several petitions
have been forwarded to Washington
