Ill OOO'
Des Laos Valley assembled to do
Justice to the occasion, and from
reports tits said they had the
time OF their lives, and tripped
! the light bombastic toe intosthe
dawning of a new day.
MI. Geo. e.. Clure, general
salesman for the Vanderwarker
local Company, and whose head
|quarters are located at .Minot--
the Chicago OF the West-was in
Tasker last Monday, confering;
with the officers OF the company
here. The goddess OF rumor has
it that a change is to be made in
| the personnel OF the Nanderwar-
Ser staff here.
/ Minot has had her Farmers
Day-and as usual did herself
i proud. Tasker has her Coal
Days-and like Minotfeels proud.
| 1t is our firm belief that if Mr..
Paul V. Mccoy, the princely
proprietor OF the Leland Drug
! store in Minot, had a million
dollars. he would start in to
spend it in advertising-for he
has faith in it's appropriation
bringing returns. He is unques-
tionably one OF the greatest adj
vertisers in queenly North 'Dako-
ta-is a nervy, wide-awake bust
ness man and Withal is a bOnan-
ia for the newspapers. Ii Tas-
ker's millionares will only initiate
him-why, bless you, our salary
: will take hump and raise itself,
and we will not throw it at the
! "birds" either.
STRAYED.-From my prem
. isas in the Des Laos river valley,
: one mouse colored or dark grey

!. years old branded &c S" on

Mr.. J.. L. Stafford, accompanied
4 by his mother and her niece, a
most charming little lady, went
S to Minot on Farmers Day, to
e see his brother, who was fireman
: on the engine pulling the seed
train. The genial l.. L. says you
\ cannot always tell what you
. least expect most, so to speak
!, and when he and his estimable
mother reach Minot, the seed
r train had already proceeded on
: it's way up the line to Portal.
:. They remained over until the
! next day hoping to see him Oh
/ his return. and left word with
: the obliging agent OF the 500 at
+ Minot to notify them an hour
r the trains arrival at that point.
) He did SO and 'phoned to the
n hotel and told the clerk to noti-
g |fy Mr.. Stafford, but this stuffed
}. cherub-the clerk-must have
q had pipe dream dream-for an
hour or SO after the train had
s arrived and departed he regained
e consciousness and reported his
n instructions from the agent. To
Il say that those good people were
4 disappointed, is putting ltmild-
d ly. Mr.. Saffords suggests that
: that this cherub be put on a
clean plate and handed back to
q his Maker with the suggestion
). that He make him over again
s and put some brains in his era
t mum.
!. Your .I.ncle Samuel has re-
; fsponded to the demand Of Tas-
4 ker for q post Office at this place,
} land last week the postal depart
ment forwarded the necessary
} instruments OF torture for the
] some. 1t is expected that the
: office will be opened for business
next week. with the tall and
, stately B. B. Tasker, postmas-
| ter and Mr.. f. b. Soule, assis-
liant. A money department will
be installed in connection with
this office soon.
