W.B. MacLachlan for over ten years a boatman on Bemidji lake, last spring launched the new “City of Bemidji” and the boat attracted attention from all points of Northern Minnesota as one of the best equipped passenger boats on the northern lakes\u2026 Last summer was not a particularly successful season for the Bemidji boatman as the cold weather crippled the summer resort business. (March 29, 1913)<\/p>\n
Captain W. B. MacLachlan announced today that he had discontinued all except one of the boat\u00a0trips of the “City of Bemidji.” The boat will only make its regular Sunday trips to the dam.\u00a0“The summer season is about over,” said Captain MacLachlan today. “Nearly everyone have left\u00a0their summer homes. There are only five families at Lavinia and Lakeside. Of course there still are\u00a0a number of people at the hotel and I will continue to make special trips. However, I have made preparations to begin logging work. Next year I am going to put a speedy express boat in operation to better my summer service.” (Sept 14, 1915)<\/p>\n
