SUMNER HOTEL
PLANS ARRIVE
IN Be Midi
Drawings By St. Paul Architect
Reached Here This Morning
Planned BY Tams Bixby
TO BE IDEAL SUMMER RESORT
Chart Shows Building Would Have
100 Feet Porch and Terrace Facing
Lake 0psahl also Has Plan

Plans for summer hotel drawn
according to suggestions of Tams
Bixby who recently made Bemidji
the offer to give this city site and
$1,000 for such a building at the
head of the lake, arrived in Benz
idji today.
The drawings were made by G. H.
Johnson, st. Paul architect, follow
ing directions of Mr.. Bixby. They
show the building to be an ideal
place of residence for summer visit
ors. According to the plans the
building would have a lake frontage,
comprising porches and terraces of
100 feet, a living room 20 by "a, and
a dining room 80 by "a, both on the
main floor. The plans also show a
large hall and an office.
The Second Floor
The second floor is taken up by
bed rooms of which there are eleven.
The kitchen is separated from the
main building by serving room IA
by Is, the kitchen itself being 20 BY
20. A stair in the kitchen leads to
the apartments which will be used by
the help.
The entire building would be made
of logs and the porch and terrace de-
corated with cobble stones, the same
as used by w. B. mclaughlin in
building his residence.
Two Fire Places
Two large fire places are provided
one in each end Of the main floor.
In giving the site and the $1,000
for the erection Of the proposed hotel
twas the idea Of Mr.. Bixby that the
other $4,000, the total cost of the
building being $4,000, be raised by
the residents Of Bemidji.
The matter will likely be taken
up at the next meeting of the COM
mercial club, committee headed by
w. L. Brooks, now investigating the
possibilities of the construction of
the hotel next summer.
| J. J. Opshal has another hotel pro-
position before the Commercial club
for consideration.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Lead Citizen Saved from Death
in Quicksand

Savoy, June 21.-Rescued from quick
sand just in time to save his life was
the thrilling experience of James l..
Cnrran, of Lead, while trout fishing
in this section of Spearfsh canyon.
Mr.. Curran, who is state deputy for
the Knights of Columbus, was follow
ing up the stream in wading boots. At
a point 100 yards or more above the
beautiful falls of the Spearfish river he
stopped and stood still in the Shade of
a willow tree while casting a fly ahead
of him. Suddenly he became aware of
the fact that his right foot and limb
had sank into the sard for some dis.
lance and that the water was about on
a level with his knee. Seeking to
extricate that foot he pushed mis- left
foot down into the sand and it stuck
fast. With both legs sunk in the sand
to the knees he was unable to move,
and felt himself being slowly drawn
down into the quicksand. John Dial.
ton, of Woonsocket, who was his fish
ing companion, was some distance
away at the time Curran encountered
the quicksand, and repeated shouts for
assistance brought him to the scene in
time TO rescue Curran ftom what
wonld have been certain death had
there not been another person within
reach to give him assistance. 1t was
never before known that there were
quicksand deposits along Spearfsh riv-
err, and a warning has been issued to
other fishermen of the danger.
