have a three days pumpkin show
in the fall and a June race meet
meeting. We could celebrate
the Fourth OF July there. The
grounds could be planted to
trees of various kinds and in a
few years, no city could boast of
such beautiful grounds. Minot
on the Fourth demonstrated
that she could draw a crowd,
and she can always do this. As
far as a paying investment is
concerned, it will certainly pay.
Bottineau has shown what an
association con do. We under
stand that that association last
year cleaned up $4,000. Such
an association would give Minot
the best kind of advertising.

An effort is being made to
form a racing and fair associa-

Minot. Very little has been done
along this line, yet there are sew
enteen who have volunteered to
give 500 each towards the

believed that with $4,000 fair
grounds could be bought near
the city and some Of the build

John Borgerson, alias Happy
Jack, Topped the loop on his bl-
cycle on the big hill north Of
town one evening last week.
Jack was returning from the
country and did not wish to get
off for a little thing like the hill,
SO just hung to the saddle and
cut the air at the rate of fully
sixty miles an hour. When near
the bottom OF the hill, the wheel
became manageable and Jack
slid the remaining distance. His
hands were skinned and so were
his legs. Jack ruined a good
suit of clothes and rumor has it
that he went home in a barrel.

He found the dead body in a
slough half q mile from his house
the other day. The animal had
gone into the slough and on ac-
count of the hobbies, drowned.
