MAKE IMPROVEMENTS HERE
Standard Oil Company to Place Mod
ern Apparatus in Bemidji Branch

Because of the amount of business
being done by the Bemidji branch of
the Standard Oil company, many i'm
provements are to be made here dur
ing the next few months. The oil
house is to be enlarged and equipped
with modern apparatus and one of
the new wagons has already been
received here A gasoline engine
will be installed for the purpose of
unloading the giant oil cars into the
storage tanks and the tank-wagon
and barrels will then be filled by
gravity instead of by pumps as is
now the case. The new wagon is
provided with Sheldon ball-bearing
wheels and has capacity of $50
gallons, comprising three compart-
ments, one holding ESQ gallons, an
other 200, and the third 100. During
the summer months two of the COM
partments are filled with gasoline
and one with kerosene, but during
the winter this is reversed. John
T. Roe, local agent Of the company,
now supplies Turtle River, Becida,
Solway, Wilton and the town of
Northern with oil, and until recently
carried to Cass Lake, in which place
"a branch is now being located.

SPLENDID POTATO YIELD.
J. H. French Secures Many Bushels
From Three.Acre Tract.

What is without doubt one of the
finest, if not the finest, yield of po-
tatoes in Beltrami county, is now
being dug by ]. H. French on his
farm west of Bemidji. The potato
tract is three and half acres large
and the "spuds" produced are uni
form in size and perfect. Several va
rieties are grown in the plot. The
ground is covered with potatoes as
they are dug. Mr.. French says 400
bushels to the acre is being secured.
Several bushels of Mr.. French's po-
tatoes will be included in the Bel
trami county potato display of the
