excellent. The list will be definitely
framed earlier than In past years.
The financial showing for the season
just terminated is satisfactory and
when one recalls the frosty reception
accorded to lecture dozen years ago
it Is seen that Fargo has entered upon
a new way OF regarding this sort OF
public service enterprise. Those who
have had the widest chance for COM

I ARE GREATLY INTERESTED IN
CLAY COUNTY ASSOCIATION.

The directors of the Clay County
Potato Growers association held their
first regular meeting last Saturday
evening and besides the election of
officers several important matters of
business were considered and plans
laid for the perfecting of arrangements
tending toward the general welfare
Of the association. The directors or
ganized as follows:
PRESIDENT. A. Huntoon, Moorhead.
Vice President-Jorgen Jensen.
Secretary Treasurer -. Eugene ID.
Grant, Moorhead.
Mr.. Huntoon at first declined cleo
ton as head of the association, 1t being
his view that the position should be
hlled rather by grower than a banker
Or shipper. He was overruIed, how
ever, especially by Mr.. Grant and Mr..
Jensen, who believed that the concerns
OF the association, for the first year
at least during the formative period
OF the work of the association, de-
manded the services of an experienced
business man of ripe executive ability
to direct the important matters which
the directors would have to cope with.
Not the least of these will be the Sc
lection Of a permanent secretary.
Leslie Welter, who was in st. Paul
Saturday, said today that the rail-
roads, the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, look upon the Clay assoc
citation as very important move In
The effort to nurture the potato in
iustry in this section Of the Red river

FAIRLY HEAVY
VOTE IS CAST
VERY FEW VOTED DURING THE
FORENOON, BUT AFTER THE
NOON HOUR EVERY POLLING
PLACE DID A RUSHING 5usl-
NEss-VoTE BY WARDS.

Voting in many Of the wards Of the
city has been surprisingly heavy. This
morning an unusually light vote was
cast, but this afternoon at O'Clock a
canvass of the city polls showed that
the voting is much heavier.
The bad weather intimidated many
of the voters this morning and they
refused to come out and vote. At the
noon hour the workers at the polls
got busy and hustled around in car
riages and autos in an endeavor to
get as many votes out as possible.
This morning in almost all of the
wards less than onefourth of the votes
were in, which was very unusual. At
the noon hour a few scattering votes
came in, but not until after the candi-
dates had gotten busy themselves did
the citizens go to the polls.
The interest in the election centers
around the city councilmen. A num-
Der of the wards have three candidates
while every ward has at least two.
At o'clock this afternoon the can
vass of the wards shows the following
number of votes cast.
