More About The 500
Btarkweather Times:

Starkweather Times:
Porter Kimball, of Hope, Nd,
came up the line last Monday and
drove out to the 500 line north of
here where he has contract for
grading seven miles of the main
line. He has been at work for
nearly a month and expects to
finish his contract by August 1st.
Mr.. Kimban has the promise of a
contract for grading four miles on
the surveyed branch north from
the main line which parallels the
north end of the Farmers road,
providing they decide to build,
but so far as the contractors are
concerned they have had no init
nation one way or the other
whether the branch will or will
not be built. Mr.. Kimball was
asked to go to work on the branch
line and was told thatif they de.
cided to build he would be given
a contract and if not they would
pay him damages for moving his
camp and what work he did, but
he preferred to 60 to work where
he had a contract. Itlooks to one
upa tree, like this move was in
tended for q bluff. The idea was
probably to make it look as though
the branch line was sure going to
be built and if possible stop oper-
ations on the Farmers road, and
then call the graders off. AS far
as the branch line south from the
main line of the 500 is concerned
Mr.. Kimball says there is no inti-
nation among the contractors
that it will be built this year or at
| any other time for that matter.

Better Than Ever, Largest String
of Horses, More Attractions,
Enthusiasm Galore.
June aS-a9.
Base Ball, Field Sports, Music
all the Time by tho Tower
City Band, and
Grand Spectacular Street Carni-
val Ball on Last Night.

Enthusiasm is growing every
day and there is no question but
that the races this season will be
the best ever given by the Steele
County Driving Park Associa-
ton.
The harness races will be more
attractive than ever and the Sec
retary reports that entries to all
events will be larger than ever
before.
Special pains have been taken
to provide continuous entertain
ment for the people so that there
will be no cessation of amuse-
ment from morning until late at
night.
The Tower City Band, one of
the best musical organizations
in the state, has been engaged to
furnish the music. Base ball
will also be a prominent feature.
Each morning noted teams will
play for large prizes and the
lovers of the National game will
certainly have a rare trea t.
Street sports of all kinds will be
among the prominent features of
the entertainment. This part of
the program is handled by a
competent committee, which
promises something above the
ordinary in this line.
The best and perhaps the
| greatest of the street attr actions
will be the Grand Mask
Street Carnival Ball, which will
! take place on Steele avenue on
the last night. Everyone is in.
vited to appear en-masque. It is
free to all and, as it is some
thing novel in this section, it will
| provide amusement for old and
young. Get up a costume and
come out with us. Old and
young-everybody turn out and
have the time of your life.
