GOOD ROADS DAY
BRINGS RESULTS
Twenty Miles Of Highway Graded,
Repaired and Placed in First Glass
ShapeOne Hundred Men Assist
WILL REPEAT STUNT NEXT YEAR
First Time in City's History That
Day Has Been Observed Farmers
Show Appreciation for Work.

AS a result of the labor Of one
hundred Bemidji business and pro-
fessional men yesterday, about
tWenty five miles Of roads leading in
to the city and around the lake were
graded, roots dug out and holes filled
up so that autos and teams will find
it much easier to drive over our
highways.
At o'clock the men were lined
UP in front of the city hall with show
els, picks and axes, and automobiles
enough to carry another fifty men.
Make Three Crews.
The crowd was divided up into
three crews, one going west, one
north, and the other east. Those
who did not have working equipment
were supplied by John Moberg with
shOvels and axes
The roads repaired were the west
road and the corduroy out as far IS
the w. G.. Schroeder farm; the north
road out as far as the n G.. Rey-
nolds farm and the road around the
lake.
Every Man a Hero.
Every man in the crowd was ii
hero, practically all of them havin 6
labored hard enough to raise bis
ters and calouses. All bosses report
that their assistants were on the job
every minute of the time and are
entitled to paid in full receipt for
their 1914 poll tax. s
James Harris, Clyde Bacon and
Walter Brooks comprised the ever
efficient force Of water boys. They
kept the buckets we'll filled through
out the entire day "Bob" Lord,
John Moberg and Jim Black, the
foremen of the crews, displayed un-
usual ability in the handling of the
men and at all times knew just what
to do in order to put the roads in
first class shape. E
East of Lake Bemidji where the
drive nears the M. & I. tracks a new
road was cut so the teams and autos
going around the lake from the north
| side can avoid meeting at a point
where it is almost impossible to
/ pass.
The Cass Lake road to the three
mile post was also placed in first
class shape. ~
Results Secured.
| This is the first time in the history
of Bemidji that the business men
undertook to build roads by actua
labor and sweat of the brow, hui
from comments among those wht
were on the job it will not be thu
last time. Everybody seemed en-
Unused and expressed desire to holt
such get-together meetings severa
times year. IL.
The next time an effort will b.
made to interest the farmers AM
urge them to cooperate, which it il
i believed they are more than willing
to do. Some regretted not havin,
had the opportunity to turn out yes
Iterday, but at the next road meetinI
arrangements will be made so tina
all will be given a chance,
