1t is said that c. A. Johnson will

no question but that the Minot man
would make a strong race. He would
poll larger vote than Harpc and
might give Buchanan some trouble,
but SO far as I have been able to as
certain, the politicians do not consider
that he could win in the June primar-

friends are moving heaven and earth

undoubtedly McKenzie's view of the

A QUEER FLOUR SACK.
of Minot

Dick Barrett, the Glenburn bonanza
farmer, was in the city the other eve
ming and told us the following yarn
on Louie Goldberg, one of Glenburn's
general merchants
Louis was working in one of the
general stores few weeks since
when a lady came in for peck Of
apples, taking what she supposed was
a newly Numbered -four sack. She
held the sack and Louis poured the
apples in when they went streaming
out at the other end. Upon examina-
ton it was found that there were two
holes in the bottom and both were
trimmed in lace and embroidered .
Louie gave up the ghost and the lady
sent small boy in after the apples
with a basket.

ing Of money being spent trying to
convict county official, but will
agree with you that there is a great
deal OF money spent convicting and
trying to convict blind piggers, etc,
and think that a good portion Of
this could be avoided, but this is
something over which the county
commissioners have no control.
You also ask why you have to take
a paper that doesn't do the county
printing in order to find out what the
commissioners are doing. Now, this
is a rather delicate subject for me
to discuss and were I to undertake
10 give you this information, might
say something that the Independent
would not like to publish, but will
say that if you have been a constant
reader of the Ward County lndepend-
ent or Reporter that, if you will only
refresh your memory just little,
you will know why the Independent
is not the Official paper.
AS to the changing Of the Asses
sor's books to suit ourselves, this is a
mistake. We simply equalize the
Assessment between Township, Viii
lage. ETC., as class and do not touch
the individual assessments except
where there is an error made
I note, what you say in regard to
the loaning of your Independent, and
would say that I have been a con-
slant reader of this paper ever since
it's existence. and consider it a very
newsy paper and would recommend
that you insist on your neighbors
sending in their subscription and
help swell the list.
In conclusion, Mr.. Taxpayer, if
you come to Minot at any future time,
will be glad to meet you and will
give you any information pertaining
to county affairs that I am able to
give you. '-'-t';
