MANY RES0RTERs COMING
Crowd From All Sections Of The
Country To Northern Minnesota
Lakes
LAKE BEM1DJ1 POPULAR

Proving that the Lakes in the vi
entity Of Bemidji and in Northern
Minnesota are classed among the best
for summer resorts the Markham
hotel register for yesterday alone
showed summer resorters, who had
arrived in this city and were endeav-
oring to locate at one of the popular
resorts in this vicinity from, Madi-
son, Wisconsin, Crisco, Iowa, Blaine,
Oregon, Princeton, Indiana, Univer-
sity Place, Nebraska, Republican, Ne
braska, Sibley, Iowa, Columbia, Ne
braska, and New York City.
These do not include the hundreds
of commercial travellers who come to
Bemidji from many parts of the
United States to spend a few days
while on trips, but includes only
those who spend their summers at re-
sorts.
Since the two cent rate has taken
effect the number Of .Bemidji visit
ors have increased doubly. 1t appears
that those who have been waiting to
take vacations in other states have
waited until the Minnesota rates
lowered and are now crowding the
hotels throughout this vicinity.

HUDSON OPEN 300

River at Flood Stage and Outlook For
Ice Crop is Very Bad.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 25.-It is now 300
days since navigation opened on the
Hudson River for the 1912 season. And
what's worse (from the iceman's stand
point the river is absolutely clear Of
ice. Also, the Hudson is at flood stage
and the current so swift that even if a
cold snap does come on fully two
weeks would elapse before there would
be ice of sufficient thickness to pro-
vide pieces even as big as the stingy
five cent variety.
Today marked the completion of the
three-hundredth trip for the season of
the Citizens Line boats between New
York and Albany. This is unprece-
dented in the history of navigation on
the Hudson.
