Specifications Call for Station Which

GROUNDS TO BE BEABTIFIED

agile Park.

According to a letter received to-
day by H. c. Baer, secretary OF the
Commercial club, work on the Great
Northern depot will be delayed no
longer and the structural work start.
ed within a short time. The letter
was from Carl R. Gray, the new pres
ident of the Great Northern railway.
When J. J. Hill was here in the
spring, he promised Bemidji a depot
of which it could be justly proud and
the Great Northern architects at
once started work on the plans and
specifications. When finished, these
were looked over by several Bemidji
business men and found acceptable
in every respect. The plans called
for a $4,000 structure.
It vas learned a few weeks ago
that the Great Northern considered
the plans as calling for too expensive
a depot and ordered new ones drawn
on a basis that would materially less
en- the cost. The matter was at once
taken up with the higher officials
with the result that President Gray
writes the original plans will stand
Men VINO have seen the plans say
that they call for a depot the size
customarily built in a town of 90
000-called Permanent Type A-and
it is taken as an indication of the
faith of the Great Northern in Be-
midji' future. The plans call for a
depot better than that at Fargo, q
city much in advance Of Bemidji at
the present time.
For three years Bemidji men have
been urging the Great Northern to
build a depot to replace the frame
building put here when the town
was a lumberjack trading post. These
men had been put of from time to
time, but never impatient, kept work
ing steadily to attain their object.
The result was that when Mr.. Hill
was here in the spring he saw easily
that the present depot is wholly in
adequate. He also became impressed
with the fact that the prosperity Of
Bemidji was based on substantial in
dustries and promised a depot which
would not only handle the present
traffic and that which will come but
one to which the city may point with
pride.
Contrary to the first impression,
Minnesota venue is not to BE-
Strengthened. Instead, the present
curve is to be left but a new ap-
proach built to the depot. In the
center of the street there will be a
small triangle which will be beauti.
fed with flower gardens and it is
said the Great Northern will improve
the depot yards as they are in st.
Cloud. These improvements will
give visitors and through passengers
a favorable first impression of Bemid-
il.
It was rumored this morning that
the 500 and Minnesota and I~nterna.
tlonal lines are to pave the block be-
tween Beltrami and Minnesota ay-
enues along the right of way. If this
is done, it will complete the paving
of all cross streets from the depots
to Fifth.

Profound linuuist.

There had been a fatal accident at
the railroad crossing In a little Penn
sylvania town, says the Philadelphia
Record, and the coroner, a pompous
old fellow, who magnified conscien-
tiously both his Off e and it's incum-
bent, had impaneled a Jury for the in
quest.
There was only one witness or the
accident, an illiterate Slav from the
coal mines who could understand no
English. With him the coroner began
to struggle.
"Can you speak German?" he asked.
The man shook his head.
Can you speak I~talian?" continued
the official. Again the man shook HIS
head.
Can you speak Hungarian" The
same response.
Can you speak Russian" finally
asked the Again the man
shook his head.
Its no use, gentleman" said the
cororer, turning to the jury. "We cant

this man In five different languages.

South Dakota Artesian Wells.

East of the Missouri river in South
Dakota more than / 900 artesian well,
now exist, drawing their water from
the supply carried by the underlying
sandstone formation, and supposed tc
come from the Black Hills and the
Rocky mountains. These wells. usec
mainly for irrigation purposes, are
from 500 to 1000 feet deep, and the
pressure Of water in the eastern par
of the state is sufficient to give a sur
face flow, except IN the highest lands
One well yields 1922 gallons a min
ute and furnishes power for a -four
mill by day and for an electric light
plant by night. The development Of
this source of water supply is still 90
ing forward.
