FARMERS WILL HAVE
OUTLET TO BEMIDJI

I n So
Farmers residing north Of Cass
Lake are going to have an outlet to
Bemidji, according to the board Of
Beltrami county commissio sioners, and
when it is completed, there will be
more of the good farmers from that
vicinity coming to Bemidji and with
much more frequency.
s5 w. H. Mcpherson, one of the prime
movers in the project, was in Be-
midi Tuesday and appeared before
the board. He outlined the propo-
sition and 1t was decided by the
board to appoint a committee of
three to take hold of It.
III. r. Betting, state commissions
Of roads in that township, is inter-
ested in the matter and 33 farmers,
affected by the proposed road, signed
the petition, besides Mr.. Mop Pherson
and Mrs. Botting. 4 s5S5 ss M vi.
The road is a three-mile stretch
running north from the Indian Mis-
sion, between Sections 20 and Fl,
16 and II, and 5 and 8, termin-
ating at the northeastern corner of
Section 8, which will connect with
the state road leading past the new
bridge to connect for Bemidji. The
new road will greatly reduce the dis
tance from that vicinity to Bemidji
and will be of much convenience and
value to the farmers.
