of the district board protested against IT being
adopted. declaring that it was uncalIed for.
The tntimatiOn that the carrying OF a watch IN
a race for the purpose of cheating he said was
absurd. The owners of horses. he further
stated, gave much money for the training, and
timing of their trotters. and if the watches were
done away with 1t would be hard to tell what
pace they were going in the heats,

Another new rule in relation to drivers and
riders which was adopted follows:
A driver or rider cannot be expelled from the
National Trotting Association for the non-pay-
rnent OF entries except where he Is the nomi-
nator or owner OF the horse.
Another matter that caused some discussion
was the changing OF Rule 1s. Section l. TO read:
mo heat shall be started IN any trotting race
after sunset by solar calendar time"
II vas also proposed and adopted attsr much
argument. that where a licensed starter was not
nresant at a race meeting the horse should be
given a bar instead OF a record. Some OF the
nambers believed this in some cases would be
an Injustice, for the owners OF the horses went
10 much expense in having their trotters trained

The bushes men of alinOt are max
ing extensive preparations for the en-
tertainment of the visitors to the
Farmers Institute and Ward County
Grain Growers convention which will
be held here on January %, 26 and
~. An enthusiastic meeting of the
business men was held at the rooms
OF the Commercial club Wednesday
night and committees named who are
working night and day. 1t is proposed
at this session to perfect permanent
organization on similar lines as the
Tri-State Grain Growers convention
ut Fargo. which has proved a great
success and of much benefit to the
farming and dairying interests OF the
eastern section OF the state. Hundreds
of farmers in the western part of the
state do not feel able to go to Fargo
and the necessity OF some city in this
section taking the matter up and push
ing it to a success has fallen to MinOt
One of the most enthusiastic institute
men in the state is Hon. Jos. Devine-
and whether it is farming or educa-
tOnal matters-and they are both edu-
cational. Mr.. Devine is a power whose
enthusiasm never waivers and he is
just now the busiest man in Minot as
chairman of the executive committee.
Several hundred dollars have been
raised by the finance committee and
merchants are giving valuable prem
lums for samples of seed grains, farm
products. etc. The railroads have
granted a one fare for the round trip
and large crowds are expected.

Hustling Joe Beyine.

There is constant change going on
in politics. This trite remark occurred
to your correspondent today while
noticing Joe Devine hustle around to
close an important business deal.
Devine is certainly busy man. and
apparently takes as much delight in the
legitimate affairs of commercial life
as he formerly did in making political
combinations. Just now the governor
is very busy booming the coming Ward
County Grain Growers convention to
be held in this city on Jan. Is, 26 and
q. When it comes to doing things
that help this busy town Devine is al
ways on hand and a leader in every
movement that has for it's object the
upbuilding of Minot

MACS GOLD
MINE
He Has Found Process Of Smelling
That Makes His Property Valuable.

YES" said Marshall Mcclure to a
Times reporter last evening, 4.notice
that there is a good deal of talk
throughout the state in regard to my
mining interests in Colorado. In or
der that there may be no misunder-
standing In reference to the matter l
will tell you just the conditions, and
you may make such use of the infor
nation as you see fit. Fourteen years
ago next April, filed upon a mining
claim situated on the west side of Try
cite mountain in the Cripple Greek
district. From that day to this have
steadily worked the property, having
expended about nine thousand dollars,
in development work. l drove tun-'
mel two hundred and thirty-four feet
through solid granite at which point
] intersected the vein. This was ac-
complished some eight years ago. The
vein matter between the walls did not
run as high as was expected, only as
saying about two dollars per ton. The
walls, however, which are about five
feet thick on either side showed an I'M
varying value of $3.50 per ton. Even
at this the ore was valueless for the
reason that there was no process then

be treated at profit. About two and
a half years ago a man from Dead
wood came up to the Cripple Creek
district and introduced what is known
as the 'Cynide process" This process
has proven to be success, and there
are dozens of mills in the district in
operation today which are treating ore
as low as two dollars ton at profit
This brings my property fairly within
the pay limit The ore is not worth
any more today than it was eight years
ago, and all there is about this great
strike is the introduction of new
process making it possible to treat the
ore at profit. / intend to proceed
with the development work, stock the
mine and build mill on the property.

est to dispose of at the present time.
Now, then, this is all there is to the
great strike of pay dirt of which I am
presumed to be the sole owner. ! am
not yet in the millionaire class, but
hope to realize something substantial
out of my investment after many years

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.
Ward County Has Room for All Who
Want to Hustle.

Nearly every town in Ward county,
with 500 people and upwards, offers
opportunities to business men of mod
crate means. The clerk who knows
the dry goods, hardware, druggist or
grocery business can make more
money on his own account than by
working for others. With, say $4,000,
or even less, and good credit he may
lay the foundation of a large business
Wholesale houses that are competing
for business are always willing to ac-
commOdate industrious young business
men.
Building activities occupy place
Of foremost Importance in this city
which is becoming noted for it's fine,
substantial architecture, and it's pos
session of all those modern advantages
of construction which mark the pro-
sressive North Dakota city. Stately
buildings, palatial stores and business
structures and many scores of hand
some residences are to be found on all
sides in evidence OF the enterprise and
development of this city. One of the
most prominent gentlemen who has
been instrumental in putting the fin
ishing touches on many of these large
structures is VIM. Zimmerman, archi-
tect and contractor. Mr.. Zimmerman
made the plans for the elegant new
Scofield block, DR.. Carr's $4,000 pala-
tial residence of the North side, and
is now busy with large force of men
completing Ex-Governor Devine's fine
home on South Main street. Mr. Zim-
norman has made an enviable reputa-
ton for the superior class of work he
executes as we'll as for sterling quail
ties of general worth and strict adj
herence to the soundest business prin-
cipleS.

The Poor Farmer.

These are the days when the Ward
county farmer, securely fortified
against cold and want, can calmly con-,
template his bullying granaries and
well-filled larder-products of his sea-
sons toil-and in his rich contentment
let his heart go out in sympathy to his
less fortunate brother who in many a
harrassed land must fight to even live.

WARM TIMES
AT MINOT['


Lime Light and Things Are Strenu-
Gus in Western City-Case to Be
Tried Jan. s5th.
The county commissioners are up
against it good and strong. More
charges are likely to be preferred
against them in the near future by
prominent taxpayer, who claims that
one of the commissioners levied and
collected a political assessment from
one of the clerks in the Office of the
register of deeds and at the same
time notified the clerk to file "a bill for
additional labor with the board and
that it would be promptly allowed. 1t
is claimed the bill was presented and
allowed by the board Notwithstanding
the fact that the clerks compensation
was definitely fixed by a resolution of
the board to cover the entire period of
his labors. This story may or may not
be true, but it is certain the COM
missioners are having a hard time of
it in satisfying the taxpayers of Ward
county that everything is on the
square and as it should be-. 1t is pos
sible that considerable prejudice ex-
lists against the commissioners on &C
count of the high taxes. Last summer
the county board raised the assessed
valuation of property in the city of
Minot fifty per cent. People generally
contend that a raise of twenty-five per
cent would have been sufficient, and
that there was nothing in the financial
situation of the county funds that JUS
titled the board in raising the valua-
ton fifty per cent. The three accused
commissioners, Black, Richardson and
Carroll are progressive and capable
men and claim they are the victims of
political plot and that the charges
against them are unfounded. How
ever, this may be it is dead sure
thing that public sentiment is against
them. The case will be tried on the
25th of the present month, and the out
come is the chief topic OF conversation
around the hotels and on the streets.

Nelson Lawson Of Minneapolis, as
sistant industrial agent Of the 500
line, favored The Evening Times

strenuously refused to give down any
information regarding proposed 500
extensions and branch lines. 1t is
reasonably certain, however, that the
500 will build west from Bowbells or
Fiaxton the coming spring and strike
the thriving town of Crosby located in
Williams county about forty miles
west of Portal. Mr., Lawson is also

Public gambling is a thing of the
past In Minot. Two or three places

lice kimball last fall, who says the
knights of the green cloth will have
to seek other fields or other work,
