HANNA Strong
IN NORTHWEST

Mtnot, N. D., Oct. 31.-L. B. Hanna,
candidate for governor on the republi-
can ticket will have a safe majority,
in the magic city, and in Ward county
and other counties in the north west
portion of the state. His majority in
he magic city, the split this year by
three parties instead of two, win 1e
safe.
The prospects Cor the success of the
entire republican state and county
ticket, never was better except, per-
haps for the Office of congressman.
Outside of this the whole ticket is safe
and 1t is conceded that Hanna will
run ahead of the rest of the ticket,
not withstanding the three concerned
fight. The bull moose fight for COVER
nor is weakening, and while there is
some sentiment for Sweet in the magic
city, there is but little throughout the
country sections, and he will make a
very DOOR showing at election.
A Hanna club is being formed in
Minot for the purpose of getting out
as large a vote as possible on election
day, and it has already a list of mem
bers.

VAST AMOUNT TO
Be MARKETED

Beach, N. D., Oct. S1.-The heavy
snow through the golden valley coun-
try was discouraging to a LARGE por-
ton Of farmers in this section. Only
a trif1e more than SO per cent of
the grain in this section had been
threshed ahead Of the storm. Most of
the grain left unthreshed has been
stacked, however, and much of 1t may
yet be saved this fall. Few towns in
North Dakota have a larger elevator
capacity than has Beach. in fact, the
largest elevator in North Dakota is
located at Beach, and everyone of
these grain houses are filled to the
brim with grain waiting for cars to
remove 1t to market. One of the large
elevators was so heavily laden with
grain that it broke down under the
weight. Those who claim to be au-
thority on the local crop situation pre-
dict that the amount of grain market
ed at Beach this year will amount TO
at least 10000 bushels.

LABORERS HIKE
FOR THE WOODS

Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. S1.-When
trains No. 2 and 4 passed through
Devils Lake yesterday, the former
being delayed from last night, there
was nearly a panic at the Great North
ern depot. The scores of men who
flushed their threshing, rushed for
the cars to get back to the cities and
into the woods for the winter, nearly
causing a stampede.
The conductors argued and even
pleaded with the men, in an effort to
get some to remain and take No. 6
this afternoon. 1t was in hahn. how
ever. The sight of the snow was too
much for the tfansients and they
wanted to go. The aisles OF the cars
were jammed to such an extent that
it was nearly impossible for the train
crew to pass through.
