Fessenden, N. D., Oct 1.-The en-
forcement OF the prohibition law reach

Lyness of Fessenden went to Harvey
with posse armed to the teeth, with
writs OF injunction and warrants OF

The injunctions were against the

named Mrs. Wibery, who was. how
ever, released on her own recogni-

The other piggers are professionals.
The Bank Of Harvey is charged with
selling bills OF Iadlng promiscuously
for quantities OF liquor, kept at the
railroad depot for that purpose. It liz
claimed that the elevators gave a bot

GREAT CENTRAL

PLAN Is TO INDUCE BANKERS
TO BUY cows AND SELL
THEM TO FARMERS.

Minot, N. D.. Oct. IA mammoth
centralized creamery for western
North Dakota which viii be one OF the
biggest Industries in the northwest,
was discussed at the get together din
ner Of the commercial club last night.
and committee OF which j. y. Kann
is chairman. was appointed to in
vestigate the matter
The plan which was outlined was
to call meeting Of the bankers OF
northwestern North Dakota for the
purpose OF devising some wav Of An
ancing the project. The idea In view
is to make arrangements. IL possible
with the bankers to buy mich cows
and sell them to farmers on favorable
terms.
The dairy industry has grown IN
Minot by leaps and bounds during the
last year, and If the plan being In
vestigated by the commercial club ia
carried out, this viii be one OF the
leading industries OF the northwest.
One Of the great advantages OF cream
cries Is the fact that they bring money
to the farmers the year around and
result in keeping the land in the best
OF condition for growing crops.
The get-together dinner was fha
most successful ever held by the club.
and It was the unanimous sentiment
OF those present to hold another a.

Bismarck, N. d.. Oct. THE COM
modious booth in the southwestern
corner OF the second floor of the indus
trial exposition building has been as
signed to the Red river valley exhibit
and yesterday r. M. Wilson OF Grand
Forks, formerly Of The Grand Forks
Herald, assisted by MIR. Wernli OF EN-
mons county, were busily employed in.
arranging the display In most at.
tractive manner.
The reason that the exhibit was late
in getting to Bismarck was because
the work OF getting 1t ready was not
started until two weeks before the
time for opening the exposition. The
committee in charge felt that they
could not do justice to the valley by
scratching together hurried exhibit
In couple OF weeks, covering so large
q territory. They therefore decided to
take time and get thoroughly rep
resentative display Of products. even
though 1T was somewhat delayed in
getting to the exposition.
The exhibit is not entered In COM
petition against the other counties as
1t comprises products from number
OF the valley counties, including Walsh,
Pembina, Grand Forks, Trail, Rich
land and Cass. The idea is not to
show up any one county's resources
but to show that any of the various
products on exhibition can be raised
in the Red river valley country
The arrangement Of the various ar
ticles is at once unique and hand

portiere made Of Hyslop crabapples

Is festooned in similar manner,
