MANY RACE HORSES

From the way the race horses
have been arriving in this Sec
tior Of the county the past two
weeks, one cannot doubt the
success Of the coming Ekalaka
fair. Already nearly a dozen
head of racing stock are stabbed
around town and before fair time
this number will more than
double. The committee on ar
rangements report that they
expect at least nine entries in the
free for all trot or pace race the
second day, which event will be
the big feature on the program.
In the saddle horse races one
will have q chance to witness
some fast riding and the 600 yard
running race will give you a good
chance to TRY your luck". If
YOU are in doubt, just go down
to the track and see the horses,
see them training and then tell
YOUR friends.
During the Ekalaka fair this
year you will see more people,
better races and have a better
time than ever before. People
from all over the county are
coming to enjoy themselves. The
keys to the town have been put
away and the place will be yours.
The town Of Camp Crook will be
represented by their ball team
and a live bunch of rooters.
Are you coming? We would
hate to think that you even
had a small idea of staying at
home and missing the fun. A
good delegation is coming from
the county seat, also from Baker,
Islnay and other places along the
line. Come and hear the band,
see the races and visit friends
in old "puptoWn" next month.

Take All Police Gases to Justices
The city commission has suspended the
duties of the police magistrate, and
instructed the chief of police to have
cases tried in the courts of justices Of
the peace, pending a written opinion
from the states attorney and Attorney
Shallberg. The opinion will have to
do with the question of whether the
commission form law makes it posi-
magistrate.
Fire Damages House.-A fire call at
$40 Saturday afternoon took the fire
department to the residence of Mrs.
Jennie Jensen. 745 Fourteenth street
Heat from the furnace had ignited
some beams in the basement of the
house. Owing to the confusion that
occurred when an attempt was made
to call the fire department via tele-
phone line. the blaze had a good start
and about 800 damage was done be-
fore it could be extinguished.
Exchange Enlarged. - Interior i'm
provements at the Central Union tele-
phone exchange in Moline have been
extensive during the last few months
and, according to a statement by Man
ager H. E. Terry, the sum of $4,000
has been expended. Three new posi-
tons have been added to the switch
board in the "old" company's exchange,
which means that an equal number of
additional telephone girls will be on
duty. At present the force of hello
girls employed at the Moline exchange

Want More money.-For the purpose
of protecting themselves and getting
more pay for the use of their teams,
team owners in the city met at Gran

Guiding expressmen, coal dealers and
liverymen. The team owners contend
that they do not receive enough per
day for the use of their teams. At
present construction companies and
other concerns employing teams pay
from 81 to $3.50 per day The team
ster is paid one-half of what the team
earns. Thus the owner receives from
50 to 1925 day for the use of his out
fit. This is not sufficient pay" said

feed and other upkeep, such as shOeing
and repairs for harness. Corn costs

Asked what price would be demanded,
he replied not less than so cents an
hour. This would be at the rate of S.
a day, as teamsters work 10 hours.
The 50-cent rate would cover team and
