to be a fair one. There are the two fairs
in Fargo and Grand Forks and one in
Mandan, and Mr.. Englund claims that it
is but fair that the northwest part of the
state be ven something in this line.
Kenmare is located on the main line, Of
the 500 line, also on the Wheat line and
the Ambrose line, and within three miles
of the Great Northern and within about
ave or six miles OF the Grand Trunk Pa
ciic, hence it Is o the best center for
the people Of the Des Laos and Mouse
River valleys that could possibly be Sc
lected. The northwest corner of the
state having received but little recogni-
ton at the hands OF the state. and the
people feeling that it is asking but little
for the state to locate the fair at that
place, it would seem that their bid is
fair and that it would be well to grant
the request. Liberal parties Of Kenmare
offer a fine tract Of land containing 40 ac-
res and adjoining the town site, donating
same to the state for this purpose. The
people OF these w fertile valleys will
do their share toward donating funds and
toward making the event a success in
case tho fair is established there. Mr..
Englund and his constituents from that
part of the state are deeply in earnest
regarding tho matter and shall do all
in their power to encourage it. Mr.. Eng
lund says he has some very good support
and believes that the measure will pre-
vail.

some of them would make the tender

Shea has been a resident of the terrific
