Going to Red Lake Friday?

Going to Red Lake Friday?
Every one you meet seems to ask
this same question. The Red Lake
Fair association is making big pre-
paraIions for Bemidji people on Be-
midi Day Of the fair. Last year
nearly 800 citizens attended and the
Red Lakers look for even a bigger
!crowd this year.
At the business mems meeting held
Tuesday afternoon, President Barker
pointed out the advantages of Be-
midi business men turning out in a
body, but weather and business con-
ditions will not permit this in many
instances.
Redby and Red Lake are two good
feeders for Bemidji and many of
our merchants realize that a visit
to these cities would repay them in
more ways than one.
Boosters Busy.
H. H. Mayer, secretary of the Com
mercial club, together with. j. H
Koors, Thomas Hughes, j. L. Hillary
and Eugene Berman, are doing a lot
of good boosting along this line and
reports from them indicate that last
years record will be eclipsed in
numbers and in enthusiasm.
Special Train at 9 A. M.
The Red Lake special train will
leave at 8 a. m. and arrive at Redby
about 1920. The experience of last
year in handling the crowd and con-
veying them from Redby to Red Lake
has resulted in perfecting arrange
ments for transportation by automo-
bile, steamer or carriages. There
will be plenty of boats, autos and
teams at Redby as soon as the train
arrives. Those who prefer to go by
water may do so. The landing
docks at the agency have been COM
pleted SO that the big boats can go
right into shore and unload without
transferring passengers into smaller
boats.
go Other Towns Are Going.
That other towns will send good
representations to the Red Lake fair
On Bemidji Day is evident as many
from Bagley, Shevlin, Clearbrool,
Cass Lake, Walker and other neigh
boring cities have expressed their in
tention Of going.
An especially attractive program
has been arranged for this day, de-
tails of which appear elsewhere in
this issue. The fair exhibit, which
surprised so many last year, will, ac--
cording to Superintendent Dickens,
out-point that showing in every de-
partment
M. & I. Manager Going.
w. H. Gemmell, general manager
of the Minnesota & international
railroad company, expects to attend
the fair again this year. His pri-
vate car will be attached to the rear

Brainerd friends will likely accom-
pany him.
General Manager A. L. Molander
of the Red Lake road, has arranged
for extra coaches for the accommoda
ton of the crowds and promises the
best of service. Last year the round
trip fare was $500. This year the
round trip fare will be $3.50. The
officers and employees of the road
demonstrated that they can success
fully handle a big crowd and will
leave nothing undone in the way Of
service
