Unimproved property is selling at high prices in Bemidji. Mrs. M. E. Brinkman purchased three lots at the corner of 3rd and Bemidji Avenue for $9,000. This property is said to be the choicest hotel property in northern Minnesota, having a frontage upon the boulevard of 140 feet, and facing 75 feet upon 3rd street. It is the intention of Mrs. Brinkman to erect upon these lots this summer a three-story brick hotel building, costing $25,000. (Pioneer, Jan 22, 1903)
