conflicting rumors afloat as to the
possibilities of the change in schedule.
1t might be said that it was a most
happy meeting of the committee and I
that when assurance we're received

in the very near future, the members

most appreciative manner on the
subject. "s'.". .a-.
Not only will No. be returned, but
train No. 8, which took the place of
No 80 when the schedule was chang
ed some time ago, will be retained,
thus giving practically another coast
train here and the west, as this train
goes through to the coast, while No.

Nothing is announced to indicate that
there will be any change in train No.

change in schedule.

Plans for the Third Annual Mid
Winter Fair to be held in Devils Lake
January 26, 27 and 2s, are progress
ling rapidly. During the past week
committees to handle the various
departments of the work were appoint
ed by President Chas Pillsbury.
The fair management regrets to an
nounce that the stock show feature oa
the fair will have to be omitted this
year because of. inability to secure a
suitable location. A great deal of in.
terest has been shown in this feature
and it is keenly regretted that it will
have to be omitted. However, there
will be in attendance speakers on cat
tie and hogs who will give talks and
demonstrations from the animals.
| Plans are under way by the Audi.
bon society to offer cash prizes for the
best, bird houses exhibited that were
built by the children. This will be
done to encourage the children's in
terest in birds and the furnishing OF
dwellings for them.
! The poultry department, under the
supervision of Messrs. Fred Hall, Fred
Scott, Roy White and Mrs. C. w. Kel.

lures at the 1913 fair, will be bigger
and better than ever this year, a large
number having already signified their
intention to enter prize birds.

It is wit ha great deal Of reluctance

by the statute, the commission must

Laws of 1907, chapter 200, section
