FORD CAR WINS RACE.
Thousands Cheer Victor in the Coast
to Coast Contest.

Seattle, WASH, June 24.-Amid the
cheers of $1,000 people, who blocked
the streets around the main entrance
to the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific exposition,
Ford Car No. 2, driven by w. B. Scott
in the trans-continental automobile
race, crossed the tape at 1865
O'Clock yesterday, winning the Guggen-
helm trophy cup and $1,000 purse.
The car had been out from New York
% days, IS minutes.
The car was seriously delayed during
the last 100 miles of the race by the
deep snow in the Snoqualmie pass
through the Cascade mountains. Be-
cause of rumor that protest will be
filed against Ford Car No. 2, because
it was reported to have dropped man
and picked him up afterward, the
award was not made this afternoon.
The Shawmut car, which entered the
Cascade mountains eight hours behind
Ford Car No. 2, is expected to finish
during the night and claim the second
prize of 1,50O.
The italia car abandoned the contest
at Cheyenne at 4:30 yesterday after
noon.

MAKE THEIR VOWS
DR.. Edgar Christensen and
Miss Stella Wilkins Have
Pretty Church Wedding.
Couples Are ALI Doing Proper
Thing by Settling Down to
Make Homes in Oakes.

A most charming and impressive
wedding was that which took place at
the Presbyterian church on Wednes-
day, September first, at high noon,
when the marriage of Miss Stella
Frangiska Wilkins to DR.. Edgar
Christensen was solemnized. The cere-
mony was performed by the Reverend
Ralph T. Fulton, and the Episcopal
ring service used. If there is any truth
in the old adage: "Happy is the bride
the sun shines on there is without
doubt lot of joy in store for the bride
of yesterday.
The day was ideal, sunshiny and
cool, and fully one hundred and fifty
guests assembled at the church, which
was tastefully decorated with guam
titles of woodbine and golden-rod, pre-
senting an appearance in perfect har-
mony with the season of the year.
The shades were drawn and the soft
light cast glow over all, which added
much to the beauty of the scene and
decoration.
Promptly at the hour of twelve the
bridal procession came into the church.
Twelve little girls, pupils of the bride,
and sweet in their fresh white frocks,
carried the ribbons and formed an aisle
for the bridal party. First came the
ushers: the Misses Maud Tyrrell, May
belle Tyrrell. Beth Covert and Mrs.
Rhoda Born, then the bride, attended
by her bridesmaid, Miss Clara Crave
of Hankinson. Next came the groom
attended by Mr.. E. H. Petersen of
Lidgerwood. To the strains of Lohen-
grin, played by Mrs. Pearle Nichols, the
bridal party came forth and formed a
half circle in front of the altar while
the service was read and the benedic-
tion given.
, The bride wore handsome gown of

The gentlemen of the party wore the
usual black.
The ushers were dressed in white.
After the ceremony at the church

SILVER SERVICE.
Battleship North Dakota to Be Pre-.
sented With Set.

Governor Burke has addressed
letter to the people of the state of
North Dakota calling their attention to
the fact that it would be fitting thing
for the people to present the battleship
North Dakota with a silver service.
The plan is to have the money raised
by popular subscription and to let
everyone have a hand in the affair.
The governors letter is as follows:
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 27.
To the People of the State of North
Dakota:
Sometime ago our state was honored
by having one of the United States
battleships named for her. 1t is the
custom for each state for which a
battleship is named to present the ship
with silver service. Our legislature
cannot. under the constitution, appro-
pirate money for the purpose; but
am sure the patriotic people of the
state of North Dakota desire to follow
the general custom in such cases, and
that they are willing to raise the
amount necessary to purchase the sill
yer service by public subscriptions.
The battleship will be finished and
ready for commission about January
of next year, and the presentation
should be made at or about the time
the ship goes into commission.
For the purpose of organizing the
state in connection with the raising of
the necessary fund, have appointed a
committee of prominent citizens who
are authorized to select the design
and collect the funds necessary to pur-
chase suitable silver service for the
battleship North Dakota. This is a
matter of state wide interest and state
pride, and have tried to select the
committee accordingly. The committee
is as follows:
Hon. E. Y. Sarles, Hillsboro.
Hon. Frank White, Valley City.
Hon. Roger Allin, Park River.
Hon. w. A. Scott, Fargo.
Hon. Geo. Winship, Grand Forks.
Hon. Martin jacobson, Minot.
Hon. John Bruegger, Williston.
Hon. F. L. Mhompson. Cando.
Hon. Frank Lish, Dickinson.
The committee is respectfully re.
quested to proceed and carry forward
this work as promptly as possible,
adopting such plans in the prosecution
of the undertaking as may suggest
themselves to the members. l recon
mend, however, the encouragement Of
large individual contributions until al
the people of the state have had al
opportunity to contribute little some
thing to this fund.

TO OPEN FOR flLlNc:
Down River Township Survey to
be Filed March 18th
Practically All Squatted On

Hal j. Cole, register OF the United
State land office at Spokane, has notified
THE MINER that another township oi
Stevens county's vast domain viii be
thrown open to settlement this spring.
The plat of the survey of Township sc
n, Range 42 E. ". NJ, will be fled in
the land Office on March IL, 1909. and
on and after such date the Office will be
prepared to receive applications for en-
try Of lands in said township. Actual
settlers viii be allowed three months
from the 18th day of March, 1909, to
offer their filings, and the state of Wash
ington "a i'll be allowed 60 days from the
same date to offer selected lists of un-
occupied lands
Township IS. Range ~, comprises
q. 2.350.39 acres of land. II is located
west of the postofice of Yocum on the
Pend Oreille river, IS miles north of
Newport, and is said to contain some
very fine timber lands. The elevation
OF large part OF it is rather high, as
the range dividing the country north
and south passes through it. The Little
Pend Oreille Lakes, the waters of which
drain into the Colville river, are in the
vest half of the township.
1t is said that practically all of the
township has been squatted on for some
time, and that little opportunity will be
presented for new filings. The settlers
who have been patiently awaiting the
filing OF the plat OF the survey will now
have an opportunity to make homestead
6lings, as 1t ia hardly likely that many
will make stone and timber applications
under the new rulings which went into
effect Dec. l, 1908.
