MUST KEEP OFF THE GRASS
Trespassing Must Cease on the High
School Grounds Building Fence

Trespassing on the high school
grounds will come to a sudden halt
soon, as a fence is being built which
will prevent persons living in that
vicinity of making the grounds a
short cut. Last year an attempt was
made to keep a lawn in front of the
school, but no more than good start
was made as the grass was given no
: chance before it was trampled down.
The grounds were covered with black
dirt during this attempt and there
will probably be little trouble in
growing grass enough to make the
front part Of the school yard present.
able. For the past several years the
grounds have been used as short
cut by those living north west of the
school building, but hereafter they
will be forced to go around.

the new Great Northern depot will
be one of the biggest improvements
made IN Bemidjf this summer. When
speaking before the city council last
night r. l.. Knaeble, superintendent
of the northern division stated that
the company was planning to put in
walks of some kind leading across the
tracks on Minnesota avenue and from
there to the depot platform. For
some time past the residents Of that
section of the city have been forced
to wade through sand several inches
deep, but the company will rush this
workto completion, which will be but
one Of the improvements to be made.
The old depot will be removed from
the present location or torn down and
the space occupied by it will be used
for park purposes. A crew Of men
will commence on this work soon and
it will, be but very short time be-
fore. the grounds surrounding the
building will be equally as beautiful
as the building itself. These improve
ments were mentioned by Mr..
Knaeble last night and were verified
by local official this morning. In
speaking of the work Mr.. Knaeble
said:
The Great Northern company APP
preciates the way the people of Benz
idji and the city council have treated
us and we will do all we can to give
the city of Bemidji the best improve
ments possible"
The city will also pave the street
leading up to the tracks and trans
tents and residents can be assured
that they will experience very little
more trouble in wading through the
deep sand and dust. All these i'm
provements will be completed the
coming summer.
