Two New Elevators are Being Rapidly
Completed There.
New England, N. D., Oct. 2s.-Build-
ing at New England is being rushed
right along. Two elevators are going
up as fast as possible. the only delay
being on account of the inability Of
the freighters to get the lumber from
Reeder fast enough to keep the car
penters busy. Fifteen teams are kept
ON the road all the time and farmers
hauling grain to Reeder load with
lumber on the return trips. The
regular freiglfters make their return
trips count by hauling grain to Reeder.
The elevators should be completed by
November 10.
Asa Gardeners livery barn is rapidly
nearing completion and another week
should see the last row of $4,000 shin
giles laid. The new barn Is 64x100
feet, built with eight-foot stone wall
and ten-foot frame superstructure
with hip roof, and is without doubt
the largest livery barn in the state.

Intends to return to the city and make
this place his residence until the expir-
alton OF his term as mayor. At pres
ent he is away and while there are
several matters OF an official nataure
requiring his attention, there is no
one here who seems to know when he
will return. Alderman Mann, who is
president of the council naturally feels
reluctant in assuming the powers of
the mayor until it is known for a
certainty whether or not he intends to
return.
When the mayor left he stated that
he intended to make Devils Lake his
home, and he was so careful in giving
the statement emphasis that the Inn
preston was gained that he did not
intend to resign as mayor or allow
the functions of the office to be as
sumed by another. There are many
