TO RUSH WA.YILLE WORK
Minneapolis Man Assumes Manage
ment-Praises Bemidji as Sum-
mer Resort Center.
COTTAGES NOW BEING ERECTED

Thomas J. Topper, who came here
from Minneapolis several days ago to
take charge of the sales department
Of Wa-Ville and Riverside lots, has
begun an active campaign in closing
deals and constructing cottages for
summer resorters in this popular ad-
dition. =
This is Mr.. Tupper's second visit
to Bemidji and he is enthusiastic
with the country and lakes and states
that when compared with any of the
numerous resorts he has visited, Be-
midi has them all beaten. II think
the lake shore property bordering on
Lake Bemidji has many advantages
over anything in this section of the
northwest. I spent eight hours on
the lake last Sunday and have studied
the beaches and noticed many other
advantages, said Mr.. Topper in dis
'cussing the possibilities of this city
as a central summer resort.
:. Active work in the construction of
cottages at Wa-Ville has been be-
gun and work on the erection of the
dining hall will start soon, accord
ing to Mr.. Upper. He is also of
the opinion that the new hotel at
Birchmont Beach will make big
hit among those who are looking for
modern up-to-the-minute summer
resort.

MANY FISH PLANTED
Larger Number of Fry Than Ever Be-
fore Are Placed in Lake Bemidji.

More pike fry have been planted
in Lake Bemidji this spring than dur
ing any previous year. The fry was
secured from the Bemfdji hatchery
and totals more than 10000. In for
mer seasons the largest number
planted was $4,000 and the number
placed in the lake is only small
portion of that which is to be secured
from the local hatchery this year:
F. S. Lycan has received a favorable
reply from Commissioner H. M.
Smith, of the department of fisheries
at Washington, in answer to a letter
of recent date asking for assistance
in restocking Pinewood Creek with
trout. It is probable that the de-
partment will accede to Mr.. Lycan's
wish and thereby improve another of
Northern Minnesota's attractions.

Washington, May President
Wilson's Philadelphia address con-
corning this country's policy concern
ing the Lusitania disaster left Off

was unusually long and it is believed

to make any announcement The pres

although he favors peace that he
stands for firmness.
German Ambassador Bernstorff this
afternoon handed Secretary Bryan a
message from the Berlin government

England was declared responsible. A
communication was also received
from Ambassador Gerard but it was
not made public.
The casualty list of the Lusitania

WILSON STANDS FOR PEACE But INSISTS

TO START WORK JUNE /
State Board Of Control Grants Re.
quests of Sanatorium Committee
- and Will Advertise for Bids.
DELAY MEANS ADDED EXPENSE

Work on the construction of the
tuberculosis sanatorium which is to
be built by the counties of Beltrami,
Hubbard and .Kochiching under the
state aid plan, is to be started not
later than June first. This is the
report brought to Bemidji by Graham
M. Torrance, county attorney, who
with Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald
of Koochiching county appeared be-
fore the state board of control Mon
day at st. Paul and requested that
the matter not be delayed longer.
1t has been expected that work on
the hospital, which is to be erected at
Lake Julia, near Puposky, at a cost
of approximately $4,000, would
have been started early in the spring
but the board of control refused to
allow any steps to be taken until
the money of the counties involved
had been deposited with the state
treasurer. This will not be until
after the June settlement is made.
The proposition was discussed at a
meeting Of the tuberculosis board
held here last week at which it was
decided that Mr. Torrance and Mr..
Mcdonald should wait upon the
board of control and explain the ex-
tent of damage which would result
should the matter be further delayed.
The board readily grasped the Sc
robustness of the proposition and ad-
vised the committee that bids would
be advertised for at once and that
work would begin about June first,
the June settlement money being
available July first when the first
payment would be Forthcoming.
That the state and the three coun-
ties have lost about $1,000 by the
delay, was the opinion of the ar
chitect, who said that the price in
crease of material was responsible,

diate construction of the sanatorium

Today's Cabinet Meeting Unusually
Long and Belief is That Lusitania
Problem Was Discussed. ~
PRESIDENT 1NT1MATEs POLICY
Says That There is Such a Thing as
Being Too Proud to Fight -Berln
Sends Expressions of Regret.
(Un1ted Pross)

Philadelphia, May 11.-President
Wilson to gathering of 1000 natur-
allied Americans in an audience of
$4,000 last night gave the first init
nation of what course the United
States will pursue in the situation re-
sulting from the loss of over 100
American lives on the Lusitania. He
spoke by implication, but his hearers
interpretated his remarks as mean
ing that while the United States
would remain at peace it would seek
to convince Germany of the injustice
to mankind of the tragedy last
Friday
'America," he said, must have a
consciousness that on all sides it
touches elbows and touches heart
with all nations of mankind. The ex-
ample of America must be special
example, must be an example not
merely of peace because it will not
fight, but because peace is a healing
and elevating influence to the world
and strife is not.
Too Proud to Fight.
There is such a thing as being
too proud to fight. There is such a
thing as being so right that it does
not need to convince others by force
that it is right"
The remarks precipitated tumult
of applause and patriotic enthusiasm.
The president made no direct refer
ence to the Lusitania tragedy, but
the audience without hesitation read
the application of his statement. He
was introduced by Mayor Blanken-
burg, who spoke a distinctly German
accent. The president carried for
ward the idea of the welding of for
eign blood in the makeup of America
by pointing out the true goal of the
right American citizenship to be
loyal, not to the country of ones
birth, but to the land of ones adop-
ton. 49,. So,
