MUSIC AND FLOWERS. AND UN-
USUALLY PRETTY DECORA-
7 TONS MARK BRILLIANT
FUNCTION MONDAY EVENING.

A wealth of pretty carnations, mag
nifcent spring and summer merchan-
disc and unusually pretty decorations
marked the spring opening at McCoy's
Monday evening between 1870 and
$3.50. Hundreds visited the pretty
store during the evening and witness
ed one of the most brilliant scenes in
the history of Minot merchandising
events.
Hovind's seven-piece orchestra
played an excellent program during
the evening. Miss Birdie Piper pre-
sided at the carnation bowl and each
lady was presented a pretty flower.
The merchandise all appeared I'M
usually beautiful and the displays in
all departments were at their best.
The millinery department seemed to
attract the ladies most and Miss c. E.
Smith, who has charge Of that depart
ment, took pleasure in showing the

creations for the season that is at

creations for the season that is at
hand.
Special attention had been given to
the decorations by c. E. DeNoon. This
year there was an absence of the
massive set pieces, the decorations be-
ing on more dainty lines. There were
lodges of white garden fences, cover
ed with rose vines and blooming roses.
Pink, green and white was the color
scheme thruout. The set pieces were
covered with vines and from the chan
deliers hung graceful festoons of
weeping willows.
The windows were very attractive.
In one appeared light green and
old ivory massive fountain with rock
effect at the top. A large lions head
with heavy chains formed portion of
the fountain. The whole thing was
covered with air plant vines, giving a
spring effect. Lanterns were suspend
ed from the background.
The other window represented
white and green French garden, with
lilies and other flowers. The wall at
the back was of green with large
green beaded lanterns. A gold jarde-
Mere filled with Japanese wisterias
formed a part of the window. In
front of the wall were Pergolas with
Onyx columns and beaded lanterns
with vases of flowers beneath. The
whole window was trimmed in air
plant vines. In the windows were
shown some of the prettiest dresses,
suits, hats, silks, parasols, etc, taken
from the stock.
Mr.. Mccoy received many compli-
ments on the appearance of his store,
which is one of the very prettiest in
the state.

PARK BOARD DECIDED TO BUY
TWO BUFFALO,, COYOTES, RAG
COONS, ETC.-SQUlRRELS AL
READY IN THE PARKS.

Minot is to have Zoo. This will
delight the youngsters and some Of the
older boys and girls as we'll. The park
board has decided to buy two buffalo
in South Dakota, bull and cow in
calf. They will cost about 5000. There
has been a little objection on the part
Of one or two to buying the buffalo,
but Colonel Soarlett declares that
these animals are very docile and will
require but little attention. In fact
the Colonel could almost look after
them himself. Five acres will be
fenced for the buffalo.
A menagerie will be started in a
small way. The board has line on
some coyotes, foxes, bears, raccoons,
several of each of which can be Sc
cured free. Colonel Scarlet wants to
install cage Of monkeys during the
summer. The parks already have many
squirrels, but the boys have been dis
turbing their nests and shooting them.
The board passed an ordinance forbid
ding the carrying of guns in the
parks, punishable by fine of from 81
to $40 or from 1 to Is days in Jail or
both. Park policemen have been or
dered to arrest anybody carrying
shooting irons in any of the parks.
Two sanitary drinking fountains are
to be installed in the parks.

STATE GAME WARDEN OFFERS
A SUPPLY OF FISH FOR THE
MOUSE RIVER AT MINOT IF
PARK BOARD WILL GUARAN-
TEE SUITABLE PROTECTION.

To the Editor Of the Independent,
l read the other evning, with great
deal of pleasure, the articles run in

and extension of the Park system. !
have more than an ordinary interest
in the Parks of Minot, having had
the honor to write the first editorial
article that appeared in Minot paper,
advocating park system for Minot.
In that article written a number of
years ago, advocated new dam, be-
low the city, but above the sewer out,
let, and the removal of the two dams
now in the river. Such dam would
give plenty of depth of water for boat
ing, but more especially would the
depth be required to keep alive, during
the long winter, such fish as might be
in the stream.
If this matter is attended to, so as
to secure the depth required by the
Game and Fish Board, and the Park
Board will give their guarantee to
keep the river clean and free from
refuse and foul matter that kills fish,
l will guarantee to see that the pres
ent river is stocked with fish, as re-
quired, and that shipment will be
deposited in the Mouse river each year
for the next five years, and very short
ly there can be plenty Of good fishing
right here in Minot. believe the pub
lie does not know generally that we
have in this state a splendid Fish
Hatchery, that is doing good work and
will soon make it's work more notice.
able, as results along that line are not
rapid. This hatchery is located at
Lake Epsilon and has distributed in
this state many millions of fish to re-
stock the lakes and streams. This
hatchery costs the state no money for
maintenance or distribution. It is not
kept up from taxes but solely by the
appropriation of portion Of the mon
ey raised by the sale of hunting Ii
censes, and last year this ran into sew
eral thousand dollars, and millions Of
fish were distributed, absolutely free,
and without any cost whatever.
Referring to the question Of dams
at present in the Mouse river, will
say that both dams Of the railway
companies in Minot are absolutely il
legal, in that they do not conform to
the laws covering fish, as there has
been no provisions made in either Of
them for the fish way required by law.
We have called the attention Of the
railways to this matter and they have
deferred action in anticipation Of
some movement on the part Of the
Park Board. ~.
] assure you that if the proper place
is provided the Game and Fish Board
will supply the fish.
Yours truly,
E. B. McCUTCHEON,
Chief Came Warden.

CHURCH LUNCHEON
GIRLS SERVE A
DELICIOUS BANQUET AT THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH A
GOOD PROGRAM OF TOASTS.

The 'Get-Together" luncheon in the
Presbyterian church Tuesday even
ing was delightful affair. Repre-
sentatives from all of the Minot Sun
day schools were present as well as
a good representation from brady.
The Count girls served a most
delicious banquet in two courses and
the tables were respondent with
cherry blossoms and ferns. Following
the luncheon service Rev. T. A. Olson
acting as POSTMASTER in his usual hap
Ply manner called upon several of those
present to respond to various toasts.
The first was given by the Hon. Dorr
H. Carroll of the Baptist S. S. who
spoke on the subject, "Why are we
here?" He said this gathering bespoke
new spirit of earnestness and en-
deavor in Sunday school work, that it
was no longer regarded as child's play
of children's institution but as
something that demanded our most
careful study and effort. DR.. A. D.
MCDANIEL of the Presbyterian Sunday
school was the next speaker and he
gave many helpful ideas on "The Goal
of all Sunday School teachers" He
pointed out that good preparation and
consistent life thru the week were
the most essential factors of success
full teaching. The goal could not be
set too high in this important work.
The Elementary department was
spoken of by Mrs. J. G. Webster and
she especially urged all Sunday
schools to enroll the wee ones on the
Cradle Roll and thereby qualify on
one of the most important points of
excellence in the whole work. Hon. r.
A. Nestos gave very interesting
talk on Confirmation and Decision
Day, emphasizing their Importance in
the young lives Of the teen-age pupils.
Mr.. Wade A. Beardsley called atten-
ton to the financial needs of the Ward
County association that, like the poor,
are always with us.
Rev. Walter A. Snow, the General
Secretary of the North Dakota Sun
day School Association, was very
forceful speaker. He spoke of the i'm
portance of the work and the efficiency
of the modern school, the advancement
of it's methods and the earnestness
that should and does characterize its
workers. He paid a deserved COM
pliment to the Count-on-me girls and
said they were widely known as an eff
fcient organized class that was al
ways doing things worth while. They
have gained much notoriety thru
| their various activities, and are a
great credit to their teacher, Mrs.
Dickinson Mr.. Snow went on to state
that goodly delegation was expect
ed to attend the convention in James,
town in June. The delegates from
this section will be received and en-
tertained for one night en- route to the
convention city. Mr.. Shows address
! was very helpful and inspiring as was
also that of Mr.. L. w. Groninger, the
efficient superintendent of teacher
training for this county. He spoke of
his line of endeavor as being second in
Importance to none and an important
means to an important end for all
Sunday school teachers who had effic-
iency as their goal. Rev. Bloom Of
fered the closing prayer.

some Irregularities which have been
shown to exist since the new rates
have gone into effect. A hearing will
be held at Grand Forks May 9, when
it is hoped all who have complaints
against the present express rates will
make them known.
