In November, 1887, the mail service
was extended to Minot, on the Manito-
ba. Trains had been running into Mi
not for two months, mostly laden with
construction material for the west, but
the mail was still brought to ToWner,
and sorted, then carried on by the
kindness of the conductor. For the
mail route was running from Mime
waukan to Burlington, and the Mail
Carrier was Ador Jevnager, who at
forwards served McHenry county we'll
as sheriff for two terms. He is now
living in Balfour on the 500.
v. R. Noble was then directing the
Bottineau Pioneer. But the long dis
lance telephone has been busy pio-
neer, too, and has grown into such a
big business that its president has
found it better to move to Minot on
the main line.
Minot papers of those days adver-
tised in the Towner and Willard pa
pers, and no doubt it paid, for settlers
used to make trips that surprise the
farmers of this day and date. Mac
Jannett and Weagant advertised their
furniture and collins; Davis and Ben
ham their drugs, and William Ross his
blacksmith shop on Main street. The
Main street of Minot presents hand
some metropolitan look nowadays.
Coleman and Blackwell advertised
their livery stable, but they also ham
died machinery and seed wheat.
Coleman afterwards served Ward
county as sheriff.
w. E. Lonergon, the Minot attor-
ney, died at Great Falls, Montana.
Chas. E. Gregory purchased the
Minot Tribune from Marshall Nc
Clure, and then installed Little Mac
as editor Marshall Mcclure has pass
ed over, but Little Mac is still doing
excellent work as editor of the Flash
err Hustler in Morton county.
An item tells of how the canvass
ing Board of Ward county threw out
4O5 votes cast at Minot, and "the Mi
not people have appealed" Who
wouldn't? Nothing is said as to the
reason. But wasn't 405 large num-
Der for that day?
A call was issued thruout Dakota
Territory for convention to be held
at Aberdeen to consider admission to
statehood as whole, and the Leader
commends it as craftsmanship. For
the Divisionists had tried to set up a
state government Of their own in the
southern half. They elected state of
ficers and legislature, and what
then? Nothing"

Napoleon Rutledge, colored, arrived
from Wayburn, Sask., and swore out
a John Doe warrant charging grand

quotes Monday. The machinery has
all been installed and the finishing
touches are being given the plant this

steel cars have been ordered to carry
the coal from the Burlington mines.
The company expects to charge $40 a

has heating value equal to that of
hard coal, the fuel will find a ready
market.

Results of Motor Boat Inspection In the
 St. Lawrence

Washington, D. C., August ?, 1913,-Secretary Redfeld, who is himself a practical motor boat owner and navigator and keenly interested in both the commercial and sporting develop ment of motor boating, recently sent Navigation Officer Dryden to the St. Lawrence to observe and report conditions among the Thousand Islands. Capt. Dry en spent eight days inspecting boats of all types at Alexanderia Bay, Clayton, Cape Vincent, Ogdensburg, Morristown and thence to Sacketts Harbor, Chau. mont, Brownsville, and Dexter. He examined 279 vessels of all kinds, and reported 64 violations of law, among which, however, Secretary Redfield was gratified to note only one boat not equip ped with means to extinguish burning gas Ii .e. One ferryboat was arrested for having an in- adequate crew and a large yacht penalized for failure to blow her whistle while entering the stream from the dock. Nine motor boats had more passengers than life preservers, and eleven were defective in equipment of whistle horn, or bell; no side lights were shown by ten motor boats and twenty boats failedsto show the white light or lantern. Secret ary Redfield is satisfied that the inspection trip of Capt. Dryden will result in safer conditions among the 1,500 boats in the re- zion visited and that during the season, especially during the coming regatta week, customs officers along the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario will be alert.

C0n1munify Cooperation
Copyrighted Farm and Ranch and HoHdns Mdgdsine

In nearly every community there are men and women who go or send to the larger cities for many of their purchases, believ- ing that they can do better in the stores of the cities than at home.
 These people are usually not malicious barriers to the growth and development of the commun- ities in which they live, Never theless they. retard rather than assist the progress of the entire locality.
 In a certain small Southwest ern town a woman, whom I will call Mrs. A. had just completed a very handsome home and had signified an intention of purchas- ing her furniture in a distant city.
 A local furniture dealer was very persistent in his solicitation for the order, but to no avail Mrs. A simply thought she want ed better goods than could be had in his store, althought she had not inspected his stock.

GERMANY PASSES UP FAIR
BUSINESS MEN IN OLD COUNTRY
 WEARY OF EXPENSE,
Austria Will Send Commission to Da c'de Upon Exhibit at San Fran.
 clscc-Russia Takes No Part

Berlin, Aug. 2.-Although the Ger man secretary of the interior has da. cIared that Germany had not yet talk. en action in regard to the question of participation in the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco in 1915 the opinion is freely expressed in of. ncial circles that the German empire Will not be represented there.
 It is pointed out that the British governments decision not to partici- pate settles also the action of Ger. many, as the only factor which might have induced the German government to bring pressure to bear on unwilling business men to exhibit was the fear Of unfavorable comparison with Great Britain.
 Business men in the majority of cases declare themselves tired of the expense connected with frequent ex. positions, and say they see no pros. pect of financial returns should they exhibit at San Francisco.

BOOM MITCHELL FUR MAYOR
HAS SUPPORT OF THREE PARTIES
 IN RACE FOR MAYOR.
Expects Wilson's HeIp-Candidate Is Friend of President and 1t Is Be-
 Iieved Latter Will Aid.

New York, Aug. 2.-Republicans Progressives and Independents, as represented by a fusion committee of 107 members, have agreed upon the nomination of John Purroy Mitchell, collector of customs of the port of New York, as candidate for mayor. The regular Democratic candidate, or that to be backed by Tammany hall, has not yet been named. but Mayor Gaynor is understood to be a candidate for nomination for another term. a4~-..a * sssssaaz- ssaz.....ss:s.ILS : ..s The agreement of the fusionists to put Mitchell forward as their candi- date was not reached until after a hard struggle, during which the com mittee took nine ballots, on the first of which Mitchell led by slight mar gins over District Attorney Charles s. Whitman and Borough President George McAneny of Manhattan. These were the only three candidates con- sidered, and the contest among their adnerentS was stubborn.
 Mitchell led slightly on every bal lot and on the final vote won the necessary majority among the SS members then present to nominate. He received 45 votes, Whitman re. ceived 43, the McAneny forces break ing up and dividing their strength be tween the two leaders. The nomina- tion of Michel was afterward made unanimous. The ticket named with Mitchell carries the renomination of Whitman as district attorney and w. A. Prendergast as comptroller, and the nomination of McAneny as presi- dent of the board of aldermen.
 Mitchell, elected president of the board of aldermen on the Democratic ticket at the last election, was re- gently appointed by President Wilson as collector of customs of this port.
 The preference which the president showed toward him was used by his admirers as evidence that the presi- dent would favor him in an anti-Tam- many fight.
 The platform adopted by the fusion committee has municipal economy as its corner stone. Other issues are home rule" with revision of the city charter, police reform and a social program which includes public health, reduction of food costs by the estab- lishment of terminal markets in each

A few days prior to the date of the contemplated trip this progressive merchant learned, quite by accident, that her pur- chasing list included a certain standard make of kitchen cabinet and a well-known refrigerator. Both articles he kept in stock and, as he explained to Mrs. A, his prices were the sa re as else. where, and he could save her the freight.
 Her visit to his store for the purchase of these two articles resulted in her buying practical ly the entire bill, amounting to over a thousand dollars. She found the class of goods desired and prices were right.
