STORE HAS
new FIXTURES
MINOT CONCERN SAID TO HAVE
ONE OF THE VERY FINEST
EQUIPPED STORES ANYWHERE
IN THE WEST.

The new fixtures for the Winters
Jewelry Co. have been installed, CIV
ing Minot one of the very finest stores
in the west. The Paulle Co. designed
and built the fixtures which have the
mahogany finish.
The windows are paneled in mahog-
any, including the ceilings, giving the
store two Of the prettiest display win
dows in the city.
Mr.. Winters Office is enclosed in the
front of the store, allowing him a full
view Of the store.
Karl Braham, in charge of the re-
pair department, is quartered in the
front of the store also, in dust proof
enclosure. Mr.. Braham is one Of the
best engravers and watch makers this
city has seen.
Miss Aletta jacobson is the sales
lady. In her department and thruout
the store in fact beautiful new wall
and show cases have been installed
The framework on the sliding doors
of the wall cases is of solid plate glass
without panels.
An optical room, including dark and
fitting rooms has been installed. All
of the latest optical instruments will
be found here. Six watch racks, the
very latest, which can be taken out
and placed in the safe, have been add
ed. The company has shown most
progressive spirit in making such q
large investment.

Minot, THURSDAY

state, by the counties, by the cities, or
by the school districts, we will not
need very large amount of money to
buy the bonds that will be issued here
after, for as new bonds are issued,
some of the old ones are paid off, so
the bulk of the money coming into the
school fund hereafter will be available
for farm loans. We should realize at
least eighty millions Of dollars from
the school lands in North Dakota and
this money in time, and not very
long time either, will take care of
every farm loan in the state, or nearly
so, and it will do SO, provided we re-
quire that the farm loans be made say
for ten years and that one-tenth shall
be paid back each year of the prin-
cipal. That would give us a revolving
fund that in every way we would have
fresh money every year for the pur-
pose of taking up maturing farm
loans that might be out at higher
rate of interest. This plan is splen-
did one and will work out to the ad-
vantage of the farmers and business
men Of the state. s.......
Further, last year we raised little
over four millions by direct taxation
for the schools of the state. If our
school lands were all sold, or nearly
so, the fund should amount to about
eighty million dollars and at five per
cent interest on that amount, we would
have an income of four million dollars
a year, which would pay the school tax
of the state, provided it was no great
er than it is today. The school tax is
the heavy tax for the farmers and bus
mess men, so this money will help both
ways in holding down the peoples
taxes and making a vast sum avail
able to help the farmers get loans
upon their lands at moderate rate of
interest. And further, while we now
send the bulk of our farm interest out
of the state, under this plan we would
keep the interest at home and help
ourselves. ..
To this end l am working and be-
lieve that the propositions as present
ed are feasible and practical and can
be worked out.

DAkOTA'S GOVERNOR
ADDRESSED IMMENSE CROWD
AT MINNEAPOLIS CELEBRA-
TON MONDAY.

Gov. L. B. Hanna was the speaker
of the day at Minneapolis Monday
when he addressed tens of thousands
of Norwegians at the big weeks Cen.
tennial Norwegian celebration. The
governor made great address. He
has always been pleasing speaker,
but he has shown wonderful improve
ment of late years.
The governor said in part:
Today l am glad to join with you
for a little while in this wonderful
celebration, and to bring to you best
wishes from the people of my state, a
state which numbers many Norweg-
ian-Americans among its citizenship.
But, in bringing to you these good It'd
ings, / bring them not from the Nor
Iwegian-Americans alone, but from the
men and women of all nationalities
gathered together in great agricul-
tural commonwealth, from a people Of
a high type of American citizenship,
to give to you and the people back in
the Fatherland of Norway their kind
est and most cordial greetings.
For more than hundred years Nor
way has sent out her sons and daugh-
ters throughout the length and
breadth of the world and in every
land and in every cline wherever they
have made their homes throughout the
globe they have made for themselves
name and record in keeping with
their parentage.
Within short time I hope and ex-
pect to see the land of Norway and to
meet in person the people of that
country, in their own country, people
built upon the broad and homely lines
of principle, Of integrity and industry,
those principles which are fundamen-
tai in the permanent building of an
empire, kingdom, or a republic. To
the people of Norway, and on behalf
of the people of North Dakota, a mon
ument of Abraham Lincoln is to be
presented, the statue Of a man who
perhaps approached nearest to the
Scandinavian ideal of manhood and
craftsmanship. When we turn back
the pages of history for fifty years we
find that during the dark days of civil
strife the Scandinavian people of our
country loved Lincoln, they fought for
him, and they fought for his cause.
they honor and respect the principles
he stood for. When the statue of him
shall be erected in Norway, then the
Mother Country Of old Norway will
have the statue of Lincoln whom her
children across the waters have well
chosen as their ideal, and her chill
dren, having him for their ideal, Nor
way shall not fear for the future Of
her offspring in the land of their adop-
tion. And Norway shall know that
those of Norwegian descent here are
striving to bear and share the burdens,
and to contribute their part of Ameri-
cas- future.

GETTING BUSY
E. S, NEAL PREPARING INTER-
ESTING REAL ESTATE BOOK
LET TO DISTRIBUTE IN THE
EAST.

E. S. Neal, state immigration agent
from Bismarck, is in the city and will
spend some weeks travelling in this
section of the state, making Minot his
temporary headquarters. Mr.. Neal in
forms US that his department is work
ing hand-in-hand with the 500 and
other concerns to induce settlers to
come to this state. His department
will soon issue thousands of booklets
to be distributed in the east and the
land men and others will be given an
opportunity to get certain amount
of free space in it. He says that his
department receives many inquiries
from the east for the address of some
real estate concern, and the book will
give the required information.
Mr.. Neal has lived in North Dako-
ia since 1880, coming here on the
same train that carried Col. Lounsber
|ry and M. H. Jewell, former publish
er of the Bismarck Tribune. He tells
a good story on Colonel Plummer, who
was one of the early officials of the
Minot landoffice. Business wasn't
very brisk in the landoffice in those
days and the Colonel had gone to Bis
marck, failing to make his report. He
asked Mr.. Neal for blank, Neal ex-
planned that the Colonel couldn't make
out the report at Bismarck as he did
MT have his records. II don't need any
records. I've only had one entry this
month";" he replied.

To the Voters of North Dakota:
Having decided to become a candi-
date for reelection to the United
States Senate, on the Republican tick
ct, have filed with the Secretary of
State the petition required by law.
My duties at Washington may make it
impossible for me to make personal
campaign before the primaries, and
the limitation on campaign expendi-
lures imposed by the laws of the State
will prevent my addressing each of
you personal letter. therefore take
this means Of announcing my candi-
dacy and soliciting your support.
l stand squarely on the record
which l have made in the Senate and
in the House, and l invite the closest
scrutiny of my votes, Of the measures
which l have introduced, and of the
principles and policies which I have
advocated. A brief outline of my rec
ord in the Senate will be found in the
State Publicity Pamphlet, which will
be mailed to you in the near future by
the Secretary Of State. My past rec
ord is fair indication of the course
l shall pursue in the future if honored
with denomination and election.
l wish to thank you for the very
generous support you have accorded
me in the past, and I hope that I may
count on your support and votes at the
coming primaries.
Very truy yours,
A. J. GRONNA.

organization. Other players are Joe
Doherty, formerly with the Three I
League, Glen Moon, Wm., Wendt, Ted
Schumacher, Dutch" Palmer, Minot's
old time centerfielder and Brunner.
There are others who can qualify.
The players have, been doing some
work. The East park is at their dis
posal which would be an ideal place
if the park board could be induced to
build woven wire fence along the riv-
er so that so many balls would not be
lost.
The Minot Base Ball Association
will give benefit ball at the Armory
Friday evening, May 20. Help the
boys to organize one of the very
