Wditor Ward County Independent:
When we wrote the essay ON the
Magic City in 20 words that brought
us the Blue Ribbon and Mr. Graves
check for a v, we then felt that we
could not adequately describe the i'm
plicit merits of the big little city-so
when we undertake to pen our No.
on the Ward County fair we still are
disposed to realize that no language
used by US will be adequate to the
task of doing the fair that has just
come off the Justice, it actually merits.
1t sprung up like a mushroom IN
a night-but it had a fertile be to
grow from-no fairer field exists any
where today for that branch OF agrl-
cultural economy known the farm
produots--than right here In the
Mouse River Valley and right here
in Ward county; we have the soil so
admirably adapted to competitive agri-
culture that we are In the swim and
right out in the center of the current
for the big specimens and the big
fields everytime. All we have to 40
is to make an effort and success is
ours: 1T was ours at the first fatr and
It will always be ours. AS you say a
timely publishing Of .the, lists of all
premiums and with that list REVISED

range possible within our ability to
undertake taking into consideration
what lies within our compass In the
way of exhibits. And then again as
YOU advise by increasing the mem
sbership ,of the Ward county agricul-
,tural association to the extent or
our material both in the Magic and
in the Majestic the city and the
Rural we will find ourselves on
the ground floor with "a fair in OLD
Ward that we ourselves will not only
he nroud of but with 'an exhibition
that will he to our pride and honor
and with an annual county fair that
will he the attraction and admiration
of other fairs.
A wrong spirit is not to make any
effort for fear of being beaten by some
one else. Suppose we all had such
selfish and shortsighted and narrow
minded views would we ever cut very
much of the figure in the way OF fairs!
Anyway who says yes, does 1T not
disclose a lack of a desire to advance
does it not also reveal 'onr selfish

Drove Horses Into
Deep Ditch

H. G. Detlaff, '',Ho lives near Lynch
postoffice, had serious accident. in
this city, late Monday night, which
cost him valuable driving horse. Mr..
Detlaff came to Minot ON business
that day, and entered the city on
different route than that which nc at
tempted to take out. He was driving
near White Bros. Ice Cream factory
on the North Side, and that portion
of the city being dark he did not no
tice the ten foot ditch which had been
placed across the street by James
Kennedy's men, who had dug it for
waterworks construction, and his
horse plunged right into it, The ami
NAL must have jumped across the dirt
which had been thrown up on one
side of the ditch, and fell directly ON
10 one of the planks which had been
placed along the side of the ditch to
keep it from caving in. The horse
was disembowled, and in that condi-
ton fell to the bottom of the ditch,
and walked about twenty feet where
the animal bled to death. No lights
had been placed along the ditch, and
the accident was one which might
easily have occurred. We understand
that MIR. Della Will take action
against Mr.. Kennedy in case he does
not settle for the horse immediately.

when we did instead OF n year sooner.
we saved the wear on II In that

that we lave thus saved about seven
