HAVE MARKET DAY.
Park River Has Big Program at the
First Market Day.

Park River. N. D.. June 20.-Park
Rivers initial market day of the sea-
son proved a big attraction and a
decided success. The streets were
thronged all afternoon and evening
with hundreds of visitors and the
street sales, stores and amusement
places had a day of unusually liberal
patronage.
The merchants street auction sale
conducted by Auctioneer Kohnen and
a. number of able ASSISTANTS proved a
strong drawing card, due to the I'M
usual bargains at which bidders
bought a multitude of substantial ar
ticles. Other street sales We're had at
which live stock, machinery, house,
hold goods, etc, were offered t O the
public and every item was invariably
disposed Of.
Among the attractions of the day
were an open air band concert. base
ball game between Mimic and Park
River, street sports, shows and
merry-go-round. The Park River
band was liberal with it's music and
entertained the crowd with a good
program at l o'clock. Afterward the
street sales held the attention of the
visitors for a couple of hours, and
street sports concluded the chief part
of the afternoons program.

NEWS OF THE A
NOMINATE. E
Socialists Contend That Term of Burke
County Commissioners Expire.

Bowbells. N. D., June 20.-An opin-
ion was received from Attorney Geo.
A. Bangs of Grand Forks. a few days
ago confirming the contention of At
torney General Miller in holding that
the entire three commissioners of
Burke county hold over until Jan. !,
1915. The question came up nearly a
year ago when the commissioners de-
cided to find out just where they were
at on the proposition, and at that time
States Attorney Andrews wrote to
the attorney general for his opinion in
the matter. The socialists of the
county hold that the opinion of the
states legal advisor is wrong and that
at least commissioner is to be
elected this fall. To make themselves
doubly sure as to just how that mat
ter would wind up the commissioners
had States Attorney Andrews write to
Mr.. Bangs for an opinion. and the
opinion just received agrees with that
OF the attorney general.
At their county convention held last
week the socialists nominated a COM
plete set of county commissioners
and intend to mandamus the county
auditor to put at least one Of the
names on the ballot. The question will
probably have to be decided by the
courts

Minneapolis Receipts Were
Small as Compared With
Last Years.

Minneapolis. Mimi. June 2o.-The
barley market was not active in the
last week. Receipts in Minneapolis
were small. only 75 ears compared to
20 cars in the corresponding week a

shipments for the week were 81 cars.

the start in growth is we'll spoken of
as a rule. In a few places the ground
was too dry at seeding but the mois-
ture since fallen appears to have cor

Sor far as the early appearance in
dicates as to what the future Of the
crop of barley may be. there is reason
to expect a satisfactory outcome. The

future developments make it. The
