Minot, N. D., June 11.-With the
approach of summer, business activity
becomes more in evidence each sue
ceeding day All the railroads passing
through Minot have several work
trains employed in filling up sloughs
and laying new side-tracks. Business
men are building new blocks while
private citizens are erecting hundreds
of new homes. The streets are filled
from the early morning hours, until
late In the evening by throngs of peo-
pie who are either making purchases
at stores or visiting some entertain
ment at the play houses. 1t is not
enough, perhaps, to say that Minot
is about the liveliest town of it's size in
the northwest today.
The arrangements for the Firemen's
tournament have already been per-
fected, and 1t is anticipated that a
large crowd will be present. Our citi-
zens have put forth strenuous efforts
to furnish the visitors with every ac-
comodation known to a hosnitable
community. And your correspondent
is not specializing when he states that
every visitor will be provided for
The political situation in this coun-
ty might be summed up in very few
words: What is known as the stall
wart republican faction will win on
the 18th of June. On the same date,
what is known as the Murphy-Wil-
liams faction will loose. This predic-
ton Is based on the fact that the peo-
pie through the Evening Times, as
we'll as other stalwart republican pa
pers has shown to the average voter,
the fallacy of following the advice of
class of leaders whose hands still
bear the marks of greater crimes than
has ever been claimed to have been
committed by those who now hold the
reins of state government.
There is another feature to the pres
sent campaign which adds to the GER
tainty of the success of the straight
republican ticket, and that is, that the
democrats have filed with the county
auditor of this state list of nomina-
lions for all county Offices as we'll as
for delegates to the democratic state
convention. The point of advantage is,
that the Murphy-Williams faction have
figured from the beginning that the
democrats would join hands with them
and assist in defeating the regular
republican organization. AS matters
now stand. there is no question but
that the democrats will vote for their
own candidates, leaving the newly Or
ganized insurgent party to shirk for
themselves.
Whatever opposition there may have
been heretofore against Senator Hans
brough, seems to be gradually abating
and the chances are that when the
proper time comes the senator will at
least have cause to have kindly feel
ing towards the people of Ward.
Aside from the Firemen's tourna-
ment, the people of this section of the
state are looking forward with great
anticipation toward what will probably
prove to be the chief attraction of the
season: Namely, the races, which are
booked to take place in the city on the
third, fourth and fifth of July The
attractions will be various and the
races will be participated in by the
best horses employed on the Great
Northern Racing Circuit.
L. s. Champine, secretary of the cir
cult, whose headquarters are in Minot,
stated to your correspondent today,
that no expense for labor was being
spared by the association to make the
July meeting one of the most enter
tanning in the history of horse racing
in this state.
The following program will be car
ried out to the letter on the date men
toned in the above.
