URGES BUILDING OF
SUMNER HOTEL
George Cochran, Prominent Bemidji
Contractor, Would Donate Site
and Purchase $1,000 in Stock
PLANS ERECTION OF COTTAGES.
Believes Establishment Would Pay
For Itself in Short Time To Bring
Thousands to Bemidji

That he is willing to donate site
and $1,000 toward the erection Of
summer hotel on the shores of Lake
Bemidji is the proposition which
George Cochran, a contractor of this
city and one of the best known and
successful loggers in the northwest,
will make to the Commercial club.
Mr.. Cochran realizes the extent of
good which will be brought to Be
midi if tourist hotel he establish
ed and is of the opinion that a stock
company should be organized at once.
and the building be Immediately
constructed and ready for use this
season.
Would Pay For Itself
Why, such an institution would
pay for itself in one or two seasons. .
said Mr.. Cochran, 81 believe that the
proper manner in which to build is
to form a stock company for in this
way more people are interested and
the success Of the enterprise is just
that much more certainty. Stock
amounting to $4,000 would be read
lily disposed of. Thousands of peo-
pie will be brought to Bemidji if
proper Accommodations can be given
them, and think it shame that we
have not been able to provide suit
able arrangements in the past. One
hotel will not he sufficient to care
for the tourists that will visit our
city when the fact becomes advertis-
ed that we have summer hotels for
their special use. The people of Be
midi alone would give hotel of this
kind enough business to bring re-
turns on the investment
Obtain Capable Manager
Mr.. Cochran believes that much of
the success of the proposition would
depend upon the capabi1ity of asman-s
ager and recommends that much
care be taken in the selection of one.
Logs For Cottages
During the winter Mr.. Cochran
has had men at work preparing logs
to be used in the construction Of
from twelve to fifteen cottages to be
placed on his property at the head
of the lake. Whether the hotel pro-
position is put through this year, the
cottages will be erected The build
ings will be of various sizes and will
he provided with large screen porch
es, the front, facing the lake, being
entirely screened while portion of
the east side of each cottage will
have porch. Fire places will al
so be built in each cottage.
Already Mr.. Cochran has received
many applications for the use Of
cottages and he is of the opinion that
4 no matter how many he would con-
truct the demand would keep them
occupied during the entire outing
season.
Commercial Club to Act
: The Commercial club is much in
Iterested in the proposition Offered by
Mr., Cochran and at the meeting next
week will in all probability make
4 definite arran gements.
