PORT ARANsAs DEMOLISHED.

ansas, 25 miles from Corpus Christi
on the upper end Of Mustang island,
was completely demolished by the
hurricane Sunday, according to
wireless message picked up here
which read "Port Arkansas complete
ly demolished by hurricane. Customs
house and all records lost"
The message was the first direct
word from what is believed to have
been the center Of the tropical dis
turbance which swept inland from
the gulf of Mexico Sunday between
Corpus Christi and Brownsville.
The radio is believed to have been
from ship, the signature being that
of Capt. Luther, deputy collector of
customs for Port Aransas and Corpus
Christi.
Port Aransas has a population of
approximately 900 persons and is in
a more exposed location than Corpus
Christi, where 5000 live.

HIS FORMER FRIENDS
Purchases Lake Shore Prop.
erty as Residence; Will Re-
open Complete Office

Decidedly larger, true, with more
in the way of activity and a larger
field, is Minneapolis than Bemidji,
but there was that Understandable
something" that innoculated itself
in the system Of DR.. G. M. Palmer
and seemed to- draw him back to
hustling Bemidt. He came after a
brief absence, and that settled it.
DR.. Palmer, long time resident of
Bemidji and widely known dentist,
has purchased the Lake boulevard
property OF M. ]. Brown, and will
again resume his residence in Bemidji
with his friends, the date Of his COM
ing being November, l. He will re-
open his offices lin the new second
story of the Barker Drug and jewelry
store, adjoining the big suite of DR..
Marcum; and they will doin together
in maintaining the reception room
and library. The X-ray room and
equipment will also be at the disposal
Of DR.. Palmer and he expects to spe-
cialize in the scientific treatment of
affected teeth, as we'll as in all
branches of denl~l work.
1t was while enjoying a large prac-
tice that DR.. Palmer enlisted in the
service and went to Europe and hopes
to resume his practice where he left
off when he went abroad. His new
offices will be splendidly furnished
and among the best in the state. AS
a citizen, dental practitioner and
public official he is widely known and
his host of friends will gladly well
come him again as Z resident of Be-
midi.
