y A party Of Bemidji citizens are to take . trip
up into the ditch country at the north end Of tho
county in the near future. Now that the bridge
has been constructed across the outlet from Red
Lake it is possible to drive through from Bemidji
to the Grygla country and from thence north to
Baudette This marks new era in the county.
For years all the business of that section Of the
county has been going to the towns west Of Gryga,
Thief River Falls getting the bulk Of the trade.
No doubt there will still be large amount Of it
go there but on account Of the citizens Of that
district having to come to Bemidji to transact
county business there should be large portion Of
the business, diverted to this city. The trip to
be made BY the business men Of Bemidj should help
open up this channel Of trade and it will serve as
we'll to show our city people what a prosperous
community the county has in those townships west
Of the Red Lake. '>s> '~- ~. - %:-%#.

 The county is paying over s2.00o. .00C per year indirect tax on it's 15.O00 au- tomobiles, 12,000 of which are pri vate passenger cars, 1500 trucks and 1900 commercial cars.
 Any road will pay for itself within two years time by indirect tax paid by the citizens using the roads on the four following subjects: Gasoline tires and depreciation of cars, time and tonnage
 Any road with traffic of from one to 100 vehicles a day over the road should have D. D. degree. that is. properly drained and dragged This road should cost approximately s250O per mile. Any road with a traffic Of from 100 to 200 vehicles a day should be hard surface road of chert slag or limestone. and should cost approxi. mately $5000 per mile. Any road with a traffic of over 200 vehicles should be concrete, brick or bituminous top road and should cost approximately ss6, coo per mile.
 With the above amount of traffic over roads the indirect tax will pay for building them in two years.
 We find by actual experience that we save one-third the gasoline and one-third the time in passenger traffi. and one-half the gasoline and one-hal. the time in truck traffic and carry fous
