GOING TO PARIS.
Mart Adson, traveling passenger agent for the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad, was in town last Friday, distributing literature and jarring up business for his road. This company offers the most direct line to the eastern coast and to the Paris Exposition, which begins April 16.
Mr. Adson says his road does not expect any mad rush on this occasion, as the question will not be, Who is going to Paris? but rather, Who can go? Two-thirds of the steamer berths have been engaged already,and thousands of people who are planning to go will discover at the last moment that they cannot secure passage further than New York.
For $145 a person can get a trip ticket from Bemidji to Paris and return, with second-class steamer accommodations. The PIONEER editor would like to make the trip and fill his system with gay Pairee sights, absinthe and frog legs, but we fear that a rush of job work and wild-eyed creditors at the last moment will force us to avoid the rush by staying at home.
