gala attire on Thursday evening
for the long looked d-for event of

of 4 O'Clock yesterday morning,
her holiday attire was completed
and almost every business house

the four institutions to contest for

the crowd dispersed.
Mr.. Chas. Heuck, the manager
of the occasion, and of the opera

for his interest in the success of
the evening and the splendid and
satisfactory arrangements made
for the great crowd. The college
girls, numbering about 175, we're

and Mohall, met in Minot Mon
day, to talk over the division Of

some plan which which would be
satisfactory to all concerned.
Bowbelas naturally wants
county division and would like
to see the county divided into
five parts.
Kenmare is against dividing
Ward county into FIVE counties,
but would not object to seeing it
cut into two counties almost
equal in size, with Kenmare for
the county seat Of the north
county. Otherwise she will vote
against county division to a
man.
DonnybrooK wants to be
recKoned with. As +. T. Carey
says, "Let them trot out their
horse and we will look at it,"
DonnybrooK is opposed to di-
yiding the county into two
counties, for that would give
Kenmare the county seat per-
haps, and DonnybrooK would be
injured. The DonnybrooK citi-
zens say, '.Let Ward county
stand as she is, or cut it up five
times
Mohall wants the county d.
vided into five counties, accord

Tho tone to the Oats market contin-

lMrly good around 31c for Chicago May.
Elevator and Cash interests are more
.bullish and a better feeling generally
seems to prevail since stocks have
started to decrease heavily each week,
and are just at present 100000 BUSH
e.s less than a month or SO ago, with
every Indication that they will be re-
duced to a point that will look very
bullish when the quality Of the last
crop and the low prices are taken into
account Rumors of revival OF ex.
port demand. an estimate that farmers
holdings are not In excess Of last year
and the fact that the general consump.
ton is the largest ever known are
other strong helps to the market
Along with this there comes up for
the trade to take into consideration
the fact that during tho spring months

and May Oats advanced to over Acc. or
q premium Of 15c over the present
market price. Advantages seem to be all

think Oats In particular should not b
overlooked.
