Man Sells Out to J. NJ. Devine,
His Partner-BOth Men Will
Remain in MinOt.

The well-known firm of Devine, Ste.
nersen & Go. has made an important
change, Mr.. John H. Stenersen retiring
from the business. Announcement OF
this fact was made the first of the
month. Mr.. Devine retains the Offices
in the Scofeld block. Mr.. Stenersen
states that he will engage in the real es-
tate business in Minot and already has
plans for one of the best locations in the
city.
About two years ago, this firm opened
business here, and they did exceedingly
we'll. Mr.. Devine, who is one OF the
best insurance men in the state, looked
after that end Of the work, while Mr..
Stenersen gave most of his attention to
the Office work, experimenting the ab-
stracting department.
The Independent is glad that neither
member of the firm intends leaving Mi
not for we cannot afford to spare either
one. We trust that the change will
prove benefit for both parties.

Partner, on Account of Failing
Health.

An important business transaction
was consummated to-day when Guy 0.
Frank sold his interest in the New York
Store to his partner for thirteen years,
Julius Fauchald. The transaction was
one of the largest of the kind ever made
in Minot. Mr.. Fauchald states that the
business will be run along the same
lines as has characterized this store in
the past, and improvements are contem-
plated. For many years this firm has
taken the bitter with the sweet in Minot
and of late years their store has grown
to be one of the best in the west. Both
men are hustlers and well-liked. Mr..
Frank got out of the business only on
account of failing health. The partners
always agreed perfectly. Mr.. Frank
who owns big ranch out in the west
ern part Of the county, may spend part
of his time there until hs recunerates.

Bats Of Leaders.

We know It is a fact that many A.
ticles are priced in these catalogues
cheaper than you can find them In.
your home stores. Have you ever
thought of the reason why that IL? It
is not because he cannot get these
goods an: sell them to you at just ~
low prices, but it is because he IT,
afraid to sell you articles that have To-
merit ard because you can reach hiu,,
daily and expect him to make it good.
You expect to get goods Of satisfac-
tory quality or he may lose your trade.
He is your personal friend and is afraid
to SCI you goods he cannot recon-,
mend. II he had never seen you nor
expected to, and is several hundred
miles away and could get the money
first, he would be in a different posi-
ton.
Remember we don't want to say that
you can't get good goods from these
concerns, for we know that you can.
but these better grades cost you as.
much and more than they do at home,
with the exception of few bats and
leaders.
There is still one more thing to bear.
in mind and which we think serious
one. Supposing the mail order houses.
could sell goods cheaper and every.
body would order their goods from
then-the LOCAL stores would soon be-
no more and you would then be oblig.
Cd to send for everything. Remember
store cannot be kept up with the
small purchases If the money IL sent
away for the big things You have then
succeeded in running your homo trade
and you have helped to build up IN
enormous corporation in some far-
away city. Your home consumption
and market would decrease, the value
of your farms and houses would be.
come less valuable, for you well know
II town goes back the value Of II and
its surroundings decrease. Sending:
your money away you get nothing but.
the goods; spending it at home It
will come back to you in better towns.
better stores, better schools, better
churches and better social advan-
tages.

A committee of aldermen in
the meantime will likely go to

northwest which are provided
with septic tanks and investigate
them.
DR.. Klemer who has given the
septic tank proposition consider
able attention both in this country

for information and explained
some important questions to the
aldermen. The doctor believes
that from a sanitary stand point,
the septic tank as provided for

men are very unselfsh, meeting
night after night. They are ex-
ceedingly independent and are
not divided into factions as is
usually the case. Each man
thinks for himself. The council
may make some mistakes, but it
will not make many. The coun-
Gil is giving Minot an excellent

citizens have been making a

will tell. In the meantime give

with the little hammer has no

The city council met Friday
night as an equalization board
for the last time in order to give
the property holders of this city
an opportunity to raise any OBJ
lection to the manner in which
their assessments were equalized.
In the neighborhood of twenty
complaints were made and some
of these were adjusted. In the
main the assessments were left
to stand as equalized. A ques-
ton arose among the members of
the council as to whether or not
the assessment books should be
turned over to the board Of coun-
ty commissioners on the follow
ing Monday showing raise Of
nearly fifty per cent over the as
sessment turned in by ike assess
or. It will be remembered that
last year the commissioners
raised the assessed valuation Of
the city Of Minot so per cent,
and should they do so again this
year, in addition to the raise
made by the board of equaliza-
ton of the city, the taxes will be
very high indeed. 1t was sug-
gested by Alderman Mckoane
that the assessment be lowered
25 per cent. from the amount Sc
cured by the board of equaliza-
ton, but this was not done. It
was thought better to appoint a
committee consisting of the
mayor and two aldermen to meet
the commissioners on the follow
ing Monday and explain the mat
ter, and trust to their good judy
ment in raising the assessment
or leaving it remain the same.
Accordingly the mayor selected
J. E. McKoane and John Ehr.

BY Hugh NJ. Burke.

No agreement or programme has
been made by Herrin with Ruef,
or any one else, in favor of or
against any aspirant for gubernatorial
nomination. Information to this effect
comes from an absolutely trustworthy
source. Perhaps by next Thursday
an adjustment may be reached which

tions of the metropolis and the Parker
delegations in the south.
The notion that a tip has gone forth
from machine headquarters in San
Francisco to line up for Congressman
Gillett is misleading. So far as the "or-
ganization" is concerned all the candi-
dates for the first place on the ticket
stand on an equal footing. Undeniably
many of the politicians are~hoping that
