AS we drove by the cemetery on
the south hill the other day, and
viewed all of the fine residential
property that surrounds it, we couldn't
help wish that the cemetery could
be removed to more remote portion
of the city 1t will be moved some
day and the longer we wait, the
greater will be the job.
A few years ago some trees were
set out around Rose Hill cemetery
and as we remember, the city footed
the bill, which amounted the several
hundred dollars. The nurseryman
promised by all that was good and
holy to look after the trees and fur
nish others for those that failed to
grow the first year. Nearly every one
died the first year, we presume, he
set out some more worthless stock.
At any rate, out of several hundred
trees, but half dozen or so are
living. The trees apparently were
never cultivated.
The arcade is especially good this
week. The three dancing girls who
also sing we'll. are about the best that
have ever visited Minot, il their
stunt.
Bills posters for the big 101 Ranch
Wild West show are in Minot today.

Ira Wescott, the old soldier who is
engaged as janitor there fell to the
ground from the second story, when
the timbers gave way. He was pick

a time it was feared that he had met
