Jour horse wagon. A. Benson was
found by a farmer near the Hendrick-

Benson with four other men who
were working OIL at the Great Nor

and partook of more or less strong
drink. They started home after dark
and reached a point about five miles
from the city when Benson was jolt

not notice his fall, or were too much
under the influence of Liquor to
care, for they drove on.

been contemplated for some time,
nave advanced to the point where it
is practically assured that the work
will be done. a large amoun of
stock has been sold in the company
and the promoters are quite enihus-
iastic over the success they have met
with.
f. S. Lovelace OF Fort Ransom, one
of the pioneer residents of that town
and we'll known throughout the north,
is at the head Of the movement and
he has been engaged in the task of
working up enough enthusiasm to
make the company possible for two
or three years. and he declares that
he has finally been successful in doing
SO.
Fort Ransom lies about fifteen miles
from Lisbon and Elliott, the cities.
from which the freight is at the pres
ent time transported. The roads are
not Of the Very best and the cost of
transporting freight is decidedly high.
With the establishment of an electric
railway line connection this cost
would be greatly reduced.
In the event that the Enderlin to
Fort Ransom line is constructed, the
plans call for an extension later
which would include Sheldon. The
local end OF the line would afford cen.
nection with the 500 railroad and an

the curiosity up while working in a
gravel bank for the Milwaukee rail-
road. The tooth weighs two and one
half pounds, is seven inches long and
two and one-half inches wide at the

MANDAN FAIR TO
Be BIG FEATURE
Plans Being Laid Rapidly and
Institution Proposes to
Make Good Promises

Mandan, N. D., Sept. 4-When the
Missouri Slope exposition of 1911 is
opened in this city September 12, the
state Of North Dakota will formally
inaugurate its plan of extending aid
to three fairs. This plan was launch.
ed and passed upon %favorably by the
last legislative assembly ana under
the provisions of the action taken
by that body, the annual fairs in this
city and the biennial fairs in Grand
Forks and Fargo, receive state sup
port.
Conditions that were laid down by
the legislature for the old Morton
County Fair association to comply
with before it would become a state
institution have been lived up to. The
new association has been organized,
known as the Missouri Slope Expo
sition association and the objects of
the association are those suggested
by the title-the exhibiting OF the pro-
ducts and resources of the vast do
main known as the Missouri slope,
Four days have been fixed as the
time for the Missouri Slope EXPOSE
ton this year, being from September
II to Is, inclusive. The features that
have been arranged are CT an extra
ordinary nature, but special attention
is being raid, by the association di-
rectors, to tie question OF securing a
complete line on the resources and
products Of the Missouri slone coun-
ties.
Dairying, which fcurishes more sue
cessfully in the slope counties than
in any other section of the state, will
be given special recognition. State
Dairy Commissioner R. F. Flint has
been appointed as superintendent of
the department and he is making
plans at the present time for an ex-
hibition Of dairy products that will be
second to none The state fair at
Grand Forks and the interstate fair
at Fargo, at both of which creditable
displays were made, have resulted in
the creation of a very great mount
of interest among the creamery own
ers OF the state, and they will be here
in full force with their displays. The
contest has sinmered down to one
of a sectional nature.
The cooler weather that prevails in
making it possible to keep
the butter in better shape. will be one
cause instrumental in bringing about
a good display here.
Indians of the Standing Rock reser-
walton will be here in full force, in
having been received from
the agency to the effect that between
400 and 500 would make the trip.
The Indians take quite as much in
terest in the fair as do the white peo-
pie and the fair has come to be look
ed upon by them as an annual vaca-
ton. They will put on a large num-
Of their native stunts for the edi-
fication Of the crowds.
The display Of Holstein cattle at
the exposition will be an especially
large one. as the H%olstein Breeding
association of New Salem is taking a
deep interest in that feature. Hol-
stems are grown by a great many
Of the dairy men throughout the slope
and many of them are coming here
with their prize animals.
