May Hall completed the stenographic
course in Nankato, MINI, Commercial
College last week. She was sent to
good position at $50 month. We pre-
dict she will soon be getting slOO

you take course in that school? Send
for catalog.
A son and heir was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallace Kemp. of Prattford, on
Sunday last. Mrs. George Kemp, who
was in Pembina visiting friends received
a phone message to come home and
greet her grandson and she took an au-
to and returned home Immediately. Re-
ports are to the effect that all are well.
Word has been passed around that a
large number of small stations on the
Great Northern will be closed on &C.
count of light business. Among these
are mentioned Hensel and Glasston in
this county. Doubtless the Mountaineer
will blame the Pembina county seat
committee for it.
The Red river is getting to be low
down character for navigable stream.
Two ferry boats and two planks would
make bridge on the Red, while a
twelve foot inch board does duty at the
mouth of the Pembina as dry foot
crossing. Some of the cities above us
are worrying about the intakes of their
waterworks which are but few inches
below the level of the water. They say
it is the lowest known since 1900.
Fred Fisher of Cavalier was an old
friend to call and rake up ancient re-
minescences one day last week. Mr..
Fisher came to this city way back in the
early eighties and was one of the bunch
that used to do carpenter work, boarding
at George Nights. That was jolly lot
but now n.any are dead and the balance
scattered. j. D. Winlaw, j. M. CHS
holm, Charles Chisholm, and the Nc
Gruer Bros, were among the crowd.
Auditor Felson and Commissioner
Myrick returned from Bismarck on Sa-
turday where they had been in attend
ance at the meeting of the state board
of equalization. From the telegraphic
reports Pembina county has not suffered
any special raises from the returns of
assessment as left by the county board.
Lands being left as returned and town
lots reduced. The state board had not
adjourned sine die when they left.
If you are looking for good second
hand automobile cheap the Pembina
Automobile Company will be able to sell
you one. Three cars of late models, one
a 45 horse seven passenger Rambler
touring car, one % horse Rambler five
passenger car and the third Marman
five passenger air cooler, were received
this week and are on exhibition in the
old fire hall, adjoining this office. They
look like good bargains and will I'M
doubleday be sold soon, judging from
the number of visitors who have been
sizing them up during the week.
Very large delegations of party COM
mitteemen were present in the city last
Friday on the day appointed by the pri-
mary law for the chairmen of the var-
Gus township, village and city precinct
committees to meet, at the county seat
as county general committee. So far
as we could learn while there were some
contests in the selection of officers, yet
the results were harmonious in both the
Republics and Democratic gatherings
On the Republican side DR.. James of
Bathgate was elected as chairman, D. j.
Laxdal of Cavalier secretary and J. E.
Lee OF Neche as treasurer. The demo

ton as chairman and John O'Keefe OF
Cavalier us secretary. Nearly all of the
delegates came via automobile.
Fred Gardiner was fishing the other
evening in the Red. He was about
leaving for home as it was getting dark.
He noticed the worm was still on his
hook and rather idly threw it in the
water with the idea to let the crawfish
eat it off. He got bite and thought he
had a whale. Then for the next hall
hour Fred was wide awake, and so was
the fish. It would be too long tale to
