The Sawyer Picnic

The Sawyer picnic held yesterday
and today, was big success in ey.
cry way. It has been the custom for
five or six years past for the people
to holdan annual picnic each June
in the beautiful woods just north of
the village and the affair has proven
to be SO popular with Minot that our
city is fairly depopulated on the days
of this event. Hundreds from this
city attended the picnic this year,
going down in autos, and on the trains
while others drove. The drive to
Sawyer is one of the most beauti-
full roadways in the county.
Base ball games, races, a bowery
dance. ETC., formed plenty of amuse-
ment, while there were number of
refreshment stands that did a thirty
business.
An appropriate program was rem
dered Wednesday, Mayor Clark and
Secretary of State Blaisdell making
addresses.
This was Mecca for candidates for
oHlce, the Sawyer picnic is in no
wise political affair.
