on the border.
Colonel Stanley said the orders he
now has "have cleaned us out COM
pletely," and that while vast stores
have been ordered a shortage for a
few days is almost a certainty Colo
mel Stanley yesterday received orders

That the First regiment, NJ. n. G.,
probably would be unable to depart

B. Donnelly, commander, just before
he left ST. Louis last night to rejoin
his command at Nevada, Mo.
My men must have shoes and other
necessary equipment. and it does moi
seem probable that they will receive
it until the middle of the week,

SUPPLY OF LABOR AND
MATERIAL NOT ENOUGH

The main characteristics which
have been noted in the business sit
uation in recent months are un-
changed, except to show signs of
greater intensity as spring comes on
and the period of more active out
door operations is at hand, according
to the monthly letter issued by the
Security State bank of Bemidji. The
letter states that there is not enough
of materials or labor for all the work
that the country would like to have
done, and the result, of course, is
that the requirements which are most
pressing and can afford to outbid the
others will be served first, and the
others will await their turn. There
is large distribution of merchan-
disc and retailers instead of buying
for immediate wants only are en-
deavoring to cover their wants for
some time to come.

CITY PARK BOARD
Bemidji Citizens Favor Establishing
Park System; Must Amend

PLANNED TO BOULEVARD
PRINCIPAL STREETS
Bemidii Avenue Residents Circulate
Petition to Have Avenue
Paved.

Several Bemidji citizens have be-
gun movement for the amending of
the present city charter so as to pro-
vide for a park board and the boule-
|varding of the principal streets of
Bemidji.
The present charter provides that
the city may have park board but
such a board has never been ap-
pointed.
Assessed to- Property.
Under the amendment proposed
the individual property owner could
have the street boulevarded or the
city would boulevard the street and
assess it against the adjoining prop
erty.
If a park board is named it is
planned to install an extensive park
system in Bemidji.
Residents on Bemidj avenue are
circulating Il petition to have several
blocks of that avenue paved from
Fourth street north. The residents
are expressing themselves as willing
to pay cash for the Improvement.
The city has two other paving pro-
jects in view, one on Minnesota av-
enue and Beltrami avenue.
Committee Meets.
The city council at it's last session
appointed a committee to Investigate
the different projects and report at
the next meeting of the council
which will be held Monday. The
committee will report on how much
the city can spend on improvements
this year.
Besides the paving of the streets,
it was planned to construct sani-
tary sewer on America avenue, to
extend the water main to Greenwood
cemetery, to erect a new bridge over
the inlet of the Mississippi and to
construct street along the lake
shore from the bridge to Second
street so as to do away with the
present railroad crossings.

To Buy Lots.

the lots or secure them on a long
erm lease, construct permanent ten
mis- courts, build a club house and
form a permanent organization. If

and a new site secured for the
grounds, the membership to the club
will be limited to- about so and the
entrance fee will be about ten dol
lars and the dues five dollars a year.
To Construct Sewer.
The securing of a new site for the
courts will be necessary as the city
proposes to construct a storm sewer
directly across the present courts.
The construction of the sewer will
probably not begin until late in the
summer.
If the committee at the next meet
;ng reports that no new site is avail
able, the present courts will be tenn
porarily repaired for use this sum-
mer. At least six lots of 140-foot
depth must be had for a new site for
the courts.
