BIG DAY FOR cARPlO.

The seventeenth of May was
celebrated at Carpio in a fitting
manner. A large crowd attend
ed the celebration. The Qonny-
brook band furnished music dur
ing the day. The Industrial
parade was a hummer and the
Carpio business men are to be
congratulated for it.
In the afternoon S. j. Rasmus-
sen gave a short talk in Norwe-
gian after which Gov. Devine of
Minot gave the principal address
OF the day. Mr.. Devine held the
vast crowd spell bound for an
hours. He drew an imaginary
picture OF the rugged country
from which the hardy Norwegians
came, and characterized the
people with the topography of
the country. He enlarged upon
the grand opportunities OF Ward
county where men and women
with grit could forge to the front,
better than in any other place in
the United States. After the pro-
gram, a number of interesting
races were pulled off.

H. M. Rudd, the new band mas.
ter, is in the city and has already
got down to good hard work
with the organization. Mr.. Rudd
comes from Fargo to Minot, but
for two seasons he played solo
cornet with Liberati's famous
New York City band, one of the
best musical organizations in the
United States. The Rudd family
is an interesting musical family
and our band director has a
brother who is now playing with
Liberati's band. A man has to
be a musician of great merit to
gain a place in that organiza-
tiOn.
Mr.. Rudd is a teacher OF music
OF no small repute. For nearly
two years he taught both wind
and string music in the Isis Con-
servatory of Music in lower Cali
fornia. This is one of the leading
Conservatives in that state.
The Minot Eagle and City Band
is to be congratulated upon Sc
curing the services OF Mr.. Rudd.
Mr.. Rudd is to consider himself
fortunate to become identified
with such an aggregation of
natural talent. The band and

lions to Commissary Made.

The crack team of the Washington
National Guard, numbering sixteen
men, passed through the city Monday
afternoon on delayed train on their
way to Seagirt, N. j., where they will
compete for honors with tho. pick of
the rifemen in the national guard
from all over the United States. The
team Is strong one, and there is no
doubt but 1t will give an excellent
account of itself in the contests.
The boys have been getting lots of
practice lately. In the first place
they shot up many round Of cart
ridges in practicing for the state en-
campment at American Lake. Then
there was a great deal of work done
there. followed by a contest with the
Kings Guard in British Columbia.
Returning to American Lake, the
boys in the team, among whom are
eight from North Yakima, have shot
100 rounds each per day in target
practice. 1t is the opinion of Major
Dulin, who accompanies the team as
coach. that the boys are in as fine
condition for the contest as 1t ia
possible for them to be, and he was
enthusiastic over their chances of
winning laurels again this year, as
they did last.
The Washington boys had a
special car to themselves. The team
Is In charge of Adjutant Drain, who
Is its captain. When the train ar
rived here the boys were greeted by
large number Of their friends and
relatives. and supplied with an ap-
preciable addition to their commits
sary in the way of fruit, melons,
vegetables and delicacies Of ali
kinds.
The team representing the Oregon
National Guard occupied a special
coach. and contained fine lot of
fellows who are good running mates
for the Washington shooters. Gen.
eral Finer is in command. There
are eighteen men in the party, which
includes fourteen rifiemen and four
officers. Captain Hamlin, DR..
Houck and Private C. 8. jackson
