TAFT TRAVELLING
ON PACIFIC COAST
WILL TAKE TRIP UP MOUNT RAINIER.
WASHINGTON GOVERNOR ten.
DERS HIS SUPPORT

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 7.-Spo-
kane was the terminus tonight of
one of the most picturesquely in
teresting days of Taft's travels
throughout the west. The day
was spent in northern Idaho and
eastern Washington, the principal
stopping places being Walla Walla
Washington, Lewiston and Mos
COW, Idaho. For many hours the
presidential train wound it's way
through the famous Srake river
canyon, and from his car window
the president saw some of the
most unique farms in the entire
United States. From the waters
edge these farms rose in rolling
pillows to benches and hill tops on
either side of the canyon and at
some places they seemed almost
perpendicular, but everywhere was
stubble, indicating that the last
crop of the year had been safely
harvested. All of the farms were
in the dry farming district, where
the crops are raised without the
aid of irrigation.
Governor Hay of Washington,
met the president at Walla Walla
and accompanied him to this city
tonight,
The governor in his first intro
duction speech Of the day, declared
himself in favor Of Taft's renomi-
nation. The second interesting
development was the repetition by
Taft at Lewiston of various por-
tions of his Waterloo utterances
on relation of the government to
business.
Arriving here the president was
escorted to the armory, and ad-
dressed an audience of several
thousand. Taft tonight proceeded
to Tacoma, and tomorrow will take
trip up Mount Rainier.

ATTY. GEN. MILLER
BRINGS ACTION
C0NSTITU1l0NALITY OF Law CREATING
NORMAL SCHOOL AT MIN0T UP
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

Judge Fisk was to have gone to
Minot tomorrow to hear the argu-
ment in the injunction proceedings
started against the Normal board
to enjoin them from building on
the north side site after the south
site had been chosen by the board.
However the Judge received a
telephone message from Attorney
Greenleaf Monday afternoon ad-
vising him that Attorney General
Miller had started an action in the
Supreme court attacking the vail
dity of the law that authorized the
Normal school to be located in
Minot.
The attorney general asks that
the Normal board be restrained
from paying out any money for
building the school, claiming that
the law providing for the school
there is unconstitutional.
The Supreme court will hear
the argument on the case October
25 and if the law is sustained the
hearing will come up in the district
court at Minot Immediately after
the Supreme court decision,

SCORE five TO ZERO

Ihe mighty have fallen; old time
stars of the first magnitude who
made the gridiron resound with
the echoes of their prowess in by
gone days were ignominiously TAX
en- into camp by the High School
lads last Friday evening to the
tune of five to nothing.
The mastery captaining of Joe
Cutting, the head work of j. j.
Blair, the scientific engineering of
Evans and the light foot work of
George Buhler all came to naught
and the town crowd went to the
wall in the last quarter after it
looked like the urbianites had the
matter settled by the high pres
sure stunts they put on against
the lads of the High School.
The first three quarters of the,
game was uneventful in the matter,
of scores and as the team came UP,

brayely into the fracas and the
quarter was rounded out by Harris

catching the pass on the town

ball over for touch down, to the
undoing of the towns.
Coach Schuknecht's men shows
abundant promise. There is a few
rough edges for to be rounded off
and doubtless some changes will
be made in the line up prior to the
Minot game. The team goes to
Stanley Saturday for a try out
against the Mountrailites and have
high hopes for victory.
The mettle of the organization
is shown in the manner in which
they pulled down the game with
the town crowd after the three
scorless quarters. -,

Brainerd. The Personal Con-
duct of Belinda. Belinda's ex-
periences, humorous and tragic,
in trying to "personally conduct
a party of eight entirely dissimilar
people on a sightseeing tour
through Europe are told with a
zest and spice that make them
very enjoyable. The story ran
serially through the Ladies' Home
Journal.
Rickert. The Golden Hawk.
A more delightful yagabond than
the hero of this tale it would be
difficult to find, and the Provencal
district of France is a fit setting
for his irresponsible impulses and
happy-go-lucky schemes. 7 h e
clearing of Trillon's farm from
stones rivals Tom Sawyer's famous
exploit in whitewashing the fence.
Finn. That Football game. A
school story for boys.
Whitney. Leslie Goldthwaitd.
Describing an eventful summer in
her life. A wholesome story for
girls.
Brooks. The Golden Goose
Book. A collection of the old
fairy tales with illustrations that
even grown-ups will enjoy. For
the smaller folk.
The request made some time
ago for back numbers of magazin-
es, especially for the years 1906
1910, has met with hearty re-
sponse from a number of people,
but the library is still IN need of
more. If you find in fall house
cleaning that you have a fairly
completely year of any of the we'll
known magazines, kindly let the
librarian know and they will be
called for.
Webster. The Sky Man. Avi-
alton carried beyond the fondest
dreams of the present day forms
the basis for this story of adven-
ture in the frozen North.
De la Pasture. The Tyrant. An
English story.
Perry. Hope Benham, A school
story which older girls will find
very enjoyable.
Drysdale. The Young Reporter.
Life in connection with the news
paper world is made very attrac-
tive in this story for boys.
Lang. The Blue Fairy Book.
Perhaps the best of the Rainbow
series'' of fairy tales, containing
all the old favorites.
