Republican Central
Committee Met.

The meeting of the republican
county central committee was held
here Tuesday afternoon to name
the date of the county convention
to select delegates to Minot. Nine
OF the committee were unable to
be present and the following prox-
les we're accepted:
j. E.. Williams for E. F. Ramsey
j, w. Robinson O. f. McGray
Herb F. O'Hare Jos Packanaw
Theo. Landmann Karl Klein
j. P. Klein A. F. Hellar
Henry Holtan 7. Haugeberg
r. 81. Johnston w. g.. Oliver
E. A. Lamb E. S. Neal
g. A. Bakken Up. M. Stafslien
James Hanson and j. 81. Haar
of Wiprud were both named to fill
the vacancy made by the absence
of O. S. Jaastad of Wiprud. A
vote by ballot was made in which
James Hanson won by a vote of
IL to 8.
The meeting of the county con-
vention was set at Underwood for
Tuesday, May 5th, at IL o'clock.
The caucuses will be held on Apr.
3Oth from $50 to $50.
r. III. Johnston of McClusky
moved that T. j, Haugeberg as
chairman, P. M. Ferguson and
and James Hanson be made a
committee of three on credentials
for the purpose of passing on the
credentials Of delegates to the
county convention and that all. the
power of the county central COM
mittee with reference to the matter
of passing on the credentials be
given this committee. This mo-
ton was seconded. The chairman
refused to consider the motion
and ruled the same out of order,
stating that the county central
committee had nothing to do with
the credentials of the delegates of
the county convention, and had
nothing to do with the county
convention after calling and fixing
date for same. The chairman
cited L. B. Hanna of the state
central committee as authority for
this position but had unfortunately
lost his letter.
It was moved and seemed to be
the sentiment of the majority Of
the members that Mr.. Macomber
resign in view of the fact that he
had announced his candidacy for
senator from the 35th district.
The call for the county convenr
ton will be seen in another COL
umn of the Leader.

Another large industrial. concern has

Summit Lumber and Supply company,
composed of local and Los Angeles
capitalists. The new company, which
is already doing business has estab-
lished lumber yard, the second in

Steady demand for lots and acreage
In Beaumont has resulted in sales for
the week reported at $780, most of
them permanent homeseekers, who will
move on to the lands at once.
Expansion of irrigated territory due
to heavy selling has made necessary
the installation of $4,000 feet of addi-
tional six and eight-inch cement irri-
cation laterals, for which contracts will
be awarded this week. This will re-
suit in placing over 1000 acres under
water.
Notices are being mailed out by the
Beaumont Land and Water company
to purchasers of land in the north halt
of section II, calling attention to a
crop dividend Of 4.62 sacks of oats to
the acre, being one-fourth of the total
crop. The dividend will amount to
about 1922 an acre and is nearly 10
per cent of the purchase price of the
land, most of which is owned in Los
Angeles.

WILL MAKE LIBERAL LOANS.
To Encourage the Building of
Residences.

1t will be recalled that an article
appeared in these columns of date of
March 21, signed Citizen" which
urged the organization Of Grenada s
citizenship for the purpose of build
ing residences to accommodate the
families that are constantly seeking
homes here. The article suggested
that the Building and Loan ASSOcia-
tiOnS OF the town take hold of the
matter. The suggestion was consid-
cred by the Peoples building and
loan association but it was found
that the plan was not in harmony
with the charter of Incorporation.
A representative of The Sentinel
was talking with the president, Mr..
A. 5. Bell, a few days ago and he
stated that the Peoples building and
loan association was going to use
every possible means to encourage the
construction of residences and would
make the most liberal loans. While
The Sentinel is not authorized to as
Sert it, nevertheless it believes that
every dollar necessary to build home
can be gotten from this association.
Let it be hoped that Grenada will
have fifty new families residing here
before the close of the year 1908.

Fashion Notes.

Fashions are changing" says
Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion
editor, in the April Woman's Home
Companion. 1.-THE new idea empha-
sizes the simple, classic forms of dress.
Paris is locking to ancient Greece for
her inspiration. Surely that is STEP
ping back bit. Nevertheless, the
new gowns are extremely artistic,
even though it will be hard to make
them appeal to the practical, econOm-
ical American woman. They are
characterized by graceful, cliDging
lines, and generally are one-piece
models.
THE princess dress is good illus.
tration IF the modified Greek effect.
1t is made of one of the rough silks,
which ore sc. fashionable this season,
ana in Snade Which suggests bronze
as the colOring. The gown would
also look we'll developed in olive silk
voile.
In making the costume, the short
wasted bodice is mounted on a fitted
guimpe, which may be Of filet net or
all-over lace, dyed to match the color
of the fabric. The bodice is made
with two plaits on the shoulders, back
aud front, and it is cut round at the
neck and has large armhole, though
not in the extreme japanese effect.
Rounded reverS, which extend over
the guimpe. give touch Of novelty.
They may be in the same shade as the
gown or tint lighter.
The graceful Empire skirt is gOred
and extends above the waiStline,
where it is also mounted on the
guimpe. The skirt is attached to the
lower edge Uf the bodice. Where the
Joining occurs band of the material
is applied, or piping OF satin, or an
embroidered band may he used. The
skirt has demi-train and at the back
falls in triple box plait.
"A gown of this sort made of soft
black satin would be extremely beauti-
ful using cream net for the guimpe
and darling it in dull art shades of
silk flOSS.''
