A large dust cloud, carried on a
western wind from the Big Bend

across northern Idaho late yester-

filled the air so thickly as to OBJ
scure the sunshine. There was no
rain with it, and the dust cloud
did not entirely pass until late in
to the night, after sitting a thin
covering Of its yellow powder over
the landscape.

OUR SCHOOLS NEED
-. MORE ROOMS
Enrolment at the Time Of the Year
Largest in schools History-May
Build Ward School.

The Minot schools are in a more
crowded condition for this season OF
the year than ever before. Over 1000
pupils were enrolled in the various
schools of the city the first day and
the prospects are good for. q total en-
rollment of 400 within short time.
The schools last year were crowd
ed to the limit, and 1t may be pos
sihle to secure extra room in some
manner, The school board no doubt
favors the building Of another school
building as soon as arrangements can
be made, probably early next year
The board would be willing to build
"a high school building at the Central
school grounds hut for the fact that
the amount it would cost would ex-
coed the debt limit. The district is
now bonded for about so, 900 and &C
cording to law, could not be bonded
for more than 800 900, or s per cent
Of the assessed valuation Of the
property ma the dlsn1ct. A ward
school building Could, however, b
built and this may be done next
year.

TOM TRUSS HAS 4
GOOD FISH STORY

We knew It was coming, but we
expected that Tom Truss would
have been a little more prompt in
telling it. Fact of the matter is,
Tom has been so busy remodeling
the Arcade that he neglected for two
weeks to tell his friends the story
of his fishing adventures at Lake Up.
silon. where he recently spent sew
eral weeks. "You see, it was this
here way" and Tom took a hitch in
his suspenders. II had borrowed a
boat and emit out alone on the still
waters of the placid lake to do some
moonlight angling. A huge fish, evl-
IDENTITY attracted by the light Of my
lantern, jumped into the boat. I was
so startled that I leaped into the
water and swan ashore. I ran to the
hotel for assistance and an attacking
party was soon organized. Return
ing to the scene, both fish and boat
we're gone. Whether the fish swal-
lowed the boat or seized the oars and
rowed down the lake has not been
determined. Yes, there are some fair
sized fish in Lake Epsilon

The FIRST Progressive state coIven.
ton was held at Fargo Friday, near
ly 300 delegates attending.
Judge Davis of Minot was chosen
for chairman. In the afternoon Theo.
Roosevelt addressed the delegates.
The convention was continued until
that evening, when DR.. Creegan,
president of the Fargo college was

state committee after due consider
alton, chose Mayor Sweet Of Fargo
for the position.
All Of the other republican nomi-
nees were nominated by the Pro-
gressives, with the exception o: w.
c. Gilhreath, commissioner OF agri-
culture. M. c. Batcheller, Of Grand
Forks, has been mentioned for GIL
breath's place and committee was
appointed to confer with him, with
power Of nomination.
One candidate desired to nominate
congressman, but Judge Lauder in
formed him that this was a state
convention and not a district con-
vention, therefore this would be i'm
possible. However, the matter of
choosing nominees for congress has
been left to committees, who may or
may not CAN district conventions ="

which DR.. Creegan is ineligible fol-
