|BXBY FAN ORs new
TOURIST HOTEL Plan.
Proposition a Placed Before Him BY
W. Z. Brooks Of Investigating
Committee, Meets Approval
MEANS CLUB HOUSE THIS YEAR
Scheme is To Erect s., 600 Building
While Belief is That $50, 600 Can
Be Secured by Subscription.
MEANS CLUB HOUSE THIS YEAR

Tams Bixby's visit to Bemidji last
Wednesday may result In the con-
struction of a new summer club hotel
at the head Of Lake Bemidji, provdd-.
ing cooperative spirit Is shown
among the citizens Of this city.
The former proposition made by
Mr.. Bixby was the donation of
beautiful site at the head of the lake
and $1,000 cash toward the con-
struction Of summer hotel, plans
furnished by him, providing the city
of Bemidji would raise an additional
$4,000. The committee in charge Vt
raising this fund did not meet with
enthusiastic financial support and to
the present time little progress has
been reported.
Proposition Favored.
w. L Brooks, who is chairman
of the committee, stated this MORN
ing that Mr.. Bixby looked with much
favor upon the following proposition,
which was submitted to Mr.. Bixby by
Mr.. Brooks:
will you donate the site at the
head of Lake Bemidji and give $1,000
in cash for the construction of
summer club house, providing the
city of Bemidji raises an additional
$4,000, thereby erecting a $1,000
building, instead of $4,000 struc-
ture as formerly proposed
To this proposition Mr.. Bixby is
said to look with favor and it is be-
ieved that the money could easily
be raised, and that more citizens
would get behind the move. Efforts
are being made to secure the serv-
ices of first class hotel man, who
might be induced to subscribe for
stock in the proposition. -
Could Raise $4,000.
If F. S. Lycan, who ranks first
among the hotel men of this Sec
tion of the country, could be induced
to take hold of the new project, it
is believed that enough money could
be raised to build a $4,000 summer
club house. Mr.. Lycan Is q member
Of this committee and has expressed
a willingness to cooperate and do all
he can to boost the proposition.
AS soon as q definite plan is out
lined 1t is understood that the COM
mittee will take hold of the active
raising Of the required funds.
