will better it's train service in Be-
midi by adding two additional
trains, dining, observation and Sleep

present Winnipeg flyer. A night
train, with a Pullman, will run from
this train to Thief River Falls and
connect with a train for the Twin
Cities.
The change will be made, it is re-
ported, to permit travellers from Red
Lake and points east and west
on the Great Northern to make train
connections with points along the
500 Line without a long stop in Be-
midi.
No reports were available as to
when the change would be made, but
| it is believed that it will be within a
few months
The 500 Line, it is said, is plan
ming to gravel the entire road bed
| from Duluth to Winnipeg.

fused to deny or affirm the reports
today.

FEDERAL BUILDING

WRITES L|NDbERCH
Postofice Department Will Not
Change Rules for Bemidji
Post0fice.
LETTER RECEIVED IN
BEMIDJI BY J. J. OPSAHI
Construction of Building May Be Held
Up Indefinitely by
Action.

The postoffice department at Wash
ington will not change it's rules so
that Bemidji can secure plans for a
Federal building Immediately, accord
ing to a letter received today from
Congressman G. A. Lindbergh by j.
j. Opsahl.
The letter is as follows:
Mr.. J. j. Opsahl,
Bemidji, Minnesota.
My Dear Mr.. Opsahl:
With regard to the Bemidji post
Office, they will not change any
rules in the department for an indi-
vidual pOstOftice, except where there
are such extraordinary circumstances
that the public would be damaged in
an unusual way unless the change
were made. That means something
peculiar. OF course there is nothing
peculiar about the Bemidji situation
so far as l know. If there were some
reason why the present facilities
were impracticable, something might
be done, but otherwise these matters
are governed by rule. They prepare
for all public buildings at the same
time. They make their plans under
certain rules. There is talk of
changing the plan situation but
don't suppose it will take effect soon
enough to be of benefit to your city.
That part is with the administrative
department and not with congress.
The committee on public buildings
and grounds is getting up another
bill under which authority will be
granted for sites and buildings in
new places, one in each district, pro-
vided there is a town in the district
that comes within the rules. This
bill merely grants authority and does
not include appropriations" " No ap-
preparation will probably be made un-
til the next session or some future
congress. The public does not seem
to be informed on the rules that gov
ern Federal buildings.
Sincerely,
G. A. LINDBERGH.

Consul Garcia, chief Carranza Off
cial along the border, yesterday de-
clared himself in favor of the United
States troops withdrawing from
Mexico. There is no doubt here that
Garcia's views reflect those of the
Carranza government.
"The American expedition has
achieved it's purpose of breaking
Villas strength and scattering his
followers" said Garcia. 1T is not
necessary to capture Villa to make
the expedition a success. It would
be useless to have thousands OF men
pursue him as. it may take an inde-
finite time to capture him" c..-: -.

country, occasioned no surprise today
in Ell Paso

Apache scouts have joined in the
pursuit of Villa.
Only unofficial reports have been
received of the whereabouts of Villa.

in asserting that Villa has not been
wounded
