for the same, the land would be of
little value. In that connection, let
me draw your attention to the fact
that our county is traversed by four
transcontinental lines of railway. The
Canadian Northern in the north, the
Northern Pacific or Minnesota & In
ternational in the south and central,
the Great Northern and the 500 lines
east and west, which, together with
the Bemidji and Red Lake, and the
Park Rapids branch of the Great
Northern, gives US six railways, four
connecting US directly with the great
markets of Duluth and the Twin
Cities.
With reference to local markets, we
have in the city of Bemidji the 1arg-
est potato -four mill in the state, if
not in the United States, lately erect
ed at cost Of approximately $751;
900; strictly modern creamery,
erected and completed within the last
six months, at a cost Of 1926, 900,
which is one Of the finest creameries
in the state. We have turpentine
factory, erected within the last year,
where all the pine stumps available
are taken and from them extracted
the various different commercial COM
modities consisting of turpentine, tar,
gas and charcoal. Two of the largest
saw mills in the state, two large box
factories and manufacturing plants,
the finest summer resort in the state

banks in the county, taking care of
the wants Of farmers and new set
tiers.
"Our county and the city of Be-
midi is the hub of northern Minneso-
ia. In addition to the railroads al
ready mentioned we have the Jeffer-
son Highway, Roosevelt Trail, Mis-
sissippi River Scenic Highway and the
Scenic Highway of the State of Min
nesota.

marketing conditions. However, there
is another phase that is seriously con-
sidered by the would-be home buy
ers, and that is, namely: Are the So
cial conditions such that it would be
a fit place for my wife and family?'
In that respect let me draw your at
tention to the fact that we have 168
rural schools, IL consolidated schools,
z high schools and the 9Th State Nor
NAL school, and now we are after a
college, and we are going to get it. ,
We have churches of every denomina-
ton in every part Of the county. We
have over 400 miles of graded state
roads, besides many hundred miles Of
county and town roads, with the town
system of telephone lines.
"Ths evening we have heard nu-
merous quotations of Scripture-let
me tell you, that we, who are al
ready in Beltrami county, simply 60

these places, whether it be farm

facts relative to our county that we

at some of our farm land, or assist
you in pulling out some of the best OF
