Mr.. Emersan has long been a
resident OF Minot and at the

school board Of this city. He
looks after much of the work that
others have been too busv to at

ways has enough leisure time TO
do his duty. Clear-headed and
far-sighted as a business man, he
cannot help but "make good" as
a servant of the county. A good
county commissioner does hun
dreds of dollars worth of work
every year that he does not get
paid for. He does not expect it.
He is doing the work out Of
patriotism for his county, If you

knows the contracting business,
knows how to put a man up a

price. When Mr.. Hurd does a
thing you can generally expect
that it will be Just a little better
than he agreed to do.
An idea of the vast amount OF
work this firm has done in the

and business men of MinOt.

were made to get the children away
before blows were struck.
Before this could be done. Nichol-
