|. FOR HANDSOME BUILDING

With much gratiflcatios will the
announcement be received that Jack
Dalton is to erect handsome two

stroyed by fire, corner Of Beltrami

The structure will be one of the
most modern in Bemidji and will
cover ground space 25x140 and cost
around $4,000. .,'
In the south portion of the build
ing will be located an up-to-date res
taurant, 25x70 feet, and the front
part of the first floor will be ar
ranged for a business house. The

now has everything ready to begin
operations, and the new structure
will add greatly to the business dis
trict.
