but stopped to fix his gasoline pump
and Costello took a big lead. which
Secord was unable to regain.
The event. taken as "A whole, was
about as good a card as has ever been
seen at a North Dakota fair. Six ma
chimes got away on the start and some
sensational speeding was shown mile
after mile. Secord took the lead on
the first lap Of the fifty and on the
fourth mile had gained a lap IN Rob
inson. In the sixth mile he passed
Read and as the judges counted off lap
after lap he passed man after man
and kept steadily creeping up on Co.'S
tello, who was going the best of any
of the other machines. In the SIX
teenth mile Secord caught Costello
and passed him and then the two ma
chimes kept almost neck and neck for
a while and finally Secord started to
gain again n had put about 400
yards between himself and the Bot
tineau man.
While working on his gasoline pump
during the race the local boys pump
pulled out and he had TO STOP to fix
it or his machine would have gone
dry II he would nave been nable
to finish. This took several minutes
and during that time Costello gained
the half mile he was behind and an
other one with il and had passed Se-
cord the third time when the latter
started again.
The race from here on was sensa-
tional. Foth men rode hard. but Sc
cord finally passed Costello again and
held a lead of several hundred yards
until the rae was over.
There was some misunderstanding
as to who did win the race. Secord
maintains that he was passed only
twice by Costello. and that when he
took the lead tho last time on the
Bottineau man and kept it he was en-
TITLED to first money. The judges
however ruled otherwise and Secord
had tn he satisfied with second. The
race was a first class event and shows
that North Dakotans will welcome
speed kings on the local track at any
fair. The riders all did good work,
considering the fact that none of them
are professional motorcycle racers.
and by next year these features viii

about to commence the setting of

out that they were only here for the
purpose Of surveying the site on the
right-of-way for B. /. Steig's new po-
tato warehouse. Their work vas
quickly finished and they left on the
next train. The new warehouse will
be S0x40 feet, and will be built after
the most approved pattern.
There is a large acreage of 'spuds"
here this year, and the increased ship
ping facilities afforded by a regular
potato warehouse will give a new inn
pulse to the planting in years to come.
The soil here is we'll suited for the
purpose, being clean, rich and mellow
and easily worked.
The 500 track laying crew working
from Drake have reached Fillmore, in
Benson county, north of here, and it
is said the other crew working from
same mount of track. adm is now
northwest of Doyon. At that rate the
whole track will be laid by Aug. 20.
Benson county is about to harvest

Moorhead, Mimi, July 31.-A seri-
Gus accident was narrowly averted
late Monday night when an automo-
bile driven by A. j. Nordale of FargI
collided with q delivery wagon owned
by p. f. Timlin. Nordale crossed the
north bridge n ran onto First e

that point and in some anner Nor
dale temporarily lost control Of his
machine.
The radiator of the Nordale auto
mobile struck the rear end of Tim
Inns delivery w. II the horse
hitched to this wagon was literally
thrown half onto a drag wagon just
ahead. The force of the collision
was sufficient to throw the dray team
several feet n hoo marks. where
the horses had attempted to stop
themselves. We're evident some time
after the collision. None of the horses
was injured. The Timlin delivery
wagon was smashed so that repairing

very aptly demonstrate that fact.
Then there is the county farm

class will know thai he has been i'm
