on the matter of camps.

situated on the beautiful Lake Be-
midi where it is always cool and
where good fishing is plentiful and

camps on our trip but found MOTH

midi should be proud of her tour

From A. D. Biting, Monticello,
Minn. Cedar Grove Farm.)
"My brother and I went to Hio-
bing upon leaving Bemidji. There
they have very good place to camp
with two or three features which Be-
midi might copy. One is tour
lists shelter with tables, stoves, elee-
trio lights and even wash boiler,
wringer and broom. It was raining
when we arrived so we made good
use of it. The other redeeming
feature is wood boxes around the
grounds with lids to keep the wood
dry. We came home by way of Du-
luth, there the camp grounds are
six miles from the heart of the city
and not to be compared with Diamond
Point for convenience. thing Be-
midi ito be congratulated upon hav-
ing such a splendid place and also
upon the good drinking water which
was by far the best l found on my
trip"

courteous treatment received while
under your care at camping grounds.
It's great 'ad' for Bemidji." >o~
