WAS PLEASED With
SAN DIEGO FAIR
MINOT ATTORNEY SAYS EXPO
SITION is NOT AS GREAT AS
THE ONE AT SAN FRANCISCO,
BUT MIGHTY FINE.

Atty. G.. B. Bach returned last week
from the west where he saw the two
big fairs and other sights. At San
Diego, CAL, he was the guest of F. E.
Graves, a former Minot land man, now
in the real estate business in that city.
Mr.. Bach says that he has not seen
much in the papers concerning the
San Diego fair, which is we'll worthy
of mention. 1t is small compared with
the one at San Francisco, but is
mighty good. 1t is more historic than
otherwise. 1t was built after the old
mission style of architecture and it is
remarkable that the city of San Diego
could have prepared such a big expo
sition alone. 1t cost $1,5O0,0OO. 1t is
a wonderful achievement, considering
there was no help from the outside 1t
covers nearly section of land. 1t
boasts the largest outdoor pipe organ
in the world. Many of the states have
buildings of their own and every coun-
! ty in California has a nice exhibit
The seventeen acre model farm is a
dandy. 1t has a five room cottage
with all modern conveniences. All
kinds of fruit are growing on the
farm.
Mr. Bach spent an enjoyable day
with F. E. Graves, who took him about
the city and surrounding country. Mr.
Bach says there is large colony of
former North Dakotans at San Diego
M. O. Hall is president of the North
Dakota society. DR.. J. M. Ekrem is
located there.
Mr.. Bach says thousands are out Of
employment in the west. He could not
stop on the street minute but he was
accosted by some able bodied fellow
who would ask for the price of meal

Inc NelVa CnauCauQua was COM
plete success, the entertainment being
fine and the proposition paid out so
well that another will be held next
year.
l.. r. Prins, the Sherwood merchant,
passed thru the city Monday enroute
to Chicago to buy stock. He was ac-
companied by his 1-2 year old son,
who is said to be the youngest auto
drive rim the state. The lad drives his
fathers Ford five miles out of town,
alone.
G. w. McWilliams, of Milwaukee,
Wis, member of the Brush McWil-
liams Co., sustained serious injuries
when he slipped and fell, while walk
ing along one of the streets Of Minot
recently. The tendons of one Of his
legs were torn and he will be laid up
for several weeks.
The Minot Dairy Co. employ an eX-
pert in their ice cream department
who assemblies the component parts of
this delicious confection so artstically
that when eating their ice cream you
are reminded Of the little boys advice
to his sister as they were eating dish
of this delicacy, Cat slow, sis, so you
can taste the vaniller."
A. E. Erickson of the Opera Barber
Shop, returned from an auto trip thru
the state, accompanied by his brother,
Oscar, from Velva. Mr.. Erickson plac-
ed his famous shampoo in many shops
in the state. This is becoming very
popular wherever used. Mr.. Erickson
attended the state fair at Grand
the state has ever seen.
Last Wednesday small sized tor
nado struck the little town of 1smay
down in the southwestern part of the
state which resulted in fatality. Sam
B. Wilson, a prominent auto dealer
of that place, who was standing in the
front door of his garage, was struck
on the head by heavy timber and al
most instantly killed and number of
other inhabitants were slightly in
jured; while an immense lot of prop
erty was destroyed.
J. II. Weinrebe, the local furniture
dealer, was among the fortunate fur
niture dealers of the United States to
win prize in contest inauguratec
by the Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet com
pany. There were nearly 5000 con
testants and the honor of being a prize
winner is matter which should en-.
title the holder to feel somewhat
chesty, but j. H. wears his honors
easy.
One of the leading physicians of the
city was telling us the other day that
they were raising their own baby or
buttermilk; when we expressed sur
prise at this remarkable diet for E
tiny infant he told us Of another ply
stefan in the city in whose family the
same food was used for the baby. Tt
a quart of fresh pasteurized butter
milk, teaspoonful each of flour anc
sugar is added and the mixture boilec
for twenty minutes. Surely wonders
will never cease, and yet we are glae
to know that the good, old-fashionet
buttermilk is a life-saver as we'll as {
refreshing drink.

Believes We Are in Gas Belt.

A conservative Minot man believes
that there is plenty of gas underlying
the city, or at least in this vicinity,
and he is willing to put in a hundred
dollars in any company that will go
at it in the right way to locate it. We
have an immense field of Ignite coal
in this section of the state and it is
quite probable that gas in paying
quantities will some day be found
close to this city.

NON STOP AUTO RACE FACTOR

Detroit, Mich, May 1.-THE motor
racing season of 1915 has already de
veloped a distinct novelty-the nom
stop speed performance of 300 miles
or more.
At Corona and at Venice, Barney
Oldf1eld in a Maxwell car ran the en-
tire distance, 301 and 305 miles re-
~spectively, without pausing for a Sec
ond in his mad career. The Corona
course Oldfeld covered at the terrific
average of nearly Sc miles an hour.
The Venice race was over a slower
course but the nonstop feature enabled
Oldteld to win from Billy Carlson,
also in a Maxwell, but who spent a few
seconds at his pit.
Carlson also established a nonstop,
running the 306 miles of the Point
Iona road ace rear San Diego with.
out hesitating at any stage, losing first
place by a matter of seconds only.
These performances have been start
AthS ~ AdSiuS lICH III ocolShclo dllhc.
They have tactily served notice that
the time is not far distant when no
driver can hope for victory unless his
car is able to go through the whole dis
lance of its race without a tire change,
a replenishment of supplies or a stop
for any mechanical trouble whatever.
Such a feat would have been impos-
sible to the speed demons of a year
ago. Even now it is almost revolu-
tionary. That speed cars should be
built to any other requisites than mere
speed would have been esteemed hear
say in former years. 1t must soon be-
come a creed. For the light efficient
wellbalanced, nonstop Maxwells ask
no odds of any of their rivals in pure
speed, adding to their ability to roll
fast, a faculty to keep rolling which
is almost fatal to opponents hopes.
