4 r.. MEANING OF BEMIDJI \
x Xxx kf x kkk%kk X !

Bemidji is the English corruption
of the Oijbway name "Bay-me-je-ga h-
maug." Translated literally it means
flake lying cross ways" or lake
with running water The city takes
tits name from Lake Bemidji, ones
third of which lies within the city
limits. "A glance at the map Will
show that Bemidji is located about
half way between the Red Lakes and
Leech lake in Northern Minnesota
Lake with running water might
have been applied to the lake by the
Indians because the infant Mississippi
flows in at the south and out at the
| northeast ~ While passing through
this country, the Mississippi flows
north for the only distance in it's en-
tire $500 miles, .-. -..-...
Lake lying cross ways" was prob
ably first applied because the lake lies
cross ways to the general direction of
the Mississippi here. That is, per-
son going down the Mississippi in a
canoe would have to cross this lake
as it lies generally at right angles
to the course of the current.
The second and more romantic
reason for the name is found in the
fact that there has always been much
travel between the Red Lake and
Leech Lake Indians. The young peo-
pie, both members of the Ojibway
tribe and Algonquin nation, were in
innate and intermarriages were fire.
quent. Fishing was good on Lake
Bemidji, the adjacent woods teemed
and are still full of game, SO that the
lake became a favorite resting place
for travellers between the two bands.
To the young Indian going from
Leech Lake to Red Lake to visit his
sweetheart, the lake lay across his
path at right angles. 81 Hence they
came to call it S'lake lying cross ways
to the general direction of our trav-
Ell. The name was first applied about
1910 as the Red Lake band settled on
the Red Lakes in 1907. The first
white settler came to Bemidji in
1889. In 1885 there was small
community here. The city now num-
bers about 1000, has. four railroad
lines and is in the center of a devel-
oping agricultural district ss-

 IL was recently announced through the press that a reduction would be made on the date named. but we have not been informed by the government lines of any changes in rates. although it is generally understood that reduced rates will be put into effect soon, in the event of which, we will announce the fact to the publtc.
