BoVEY sHUTE LUMBER

This concern is one of the oldest in
the state of North Dakota and bears a
corresponding balance of good will
with the inhabitants of Minot and the
surrounding vicinity. The regular and
we'll known grades and utilities of lum-
Der are kept in stock at all times, such as
rough, heavy timbering, planking, joists,
sills, and in the manufactured millwork,
sashes, doors, mouldings, etc. A fast
selling product now handled by this firm
is the American steel posts, which seem
to be taking their place in the favor of
those who have to enclose their acres.
Then full line of fencing, wiring, and
the like is always to be had, while a
full department of Minnesota Linseed
Oil Co.'S paints are moving in and out
most of the time. Mr. Rudd is no longer
here as agent, but instead, Mr.. F. A.
Gamer, is the manager in charge. The
firms yards are located at 301 Central
Avenue, where all those who want good,
reliable service as we'll as standard grades
at reasonable prices can secure anything
they desire in the building or structural
timber line.

SCANDINAVIAN AMERI-
CAN BANK.

The Scandinavian American is very
fortunate in having so many we'll and
favorab1y known men in charge of its
operation. Mr.. Erik R. Ramstad is presi-
dent, H. P. Beckwith, vice-president;
Evald Kvam and C. R. Engelstad, assist
ant cashiers, and NJ R. Porter, cashier.
A regular and conservative banking bust
ness is in progress at this institution, and
painstaking care, efficient and courteous
service are winning new friends every
day. Individual attention to depositors,
whether savings, time, or open account
people is bearing fruit right along. A
healthy farm loan business is done
throughout the year, on both short and
long time notes, the connections with out
side banking interests enabling the
swinging of many loans which would
otherwise be harder to negotiate. The
individual deposits subject to check have
shown a most fattering growth, and
this is generally pretty fair criterion
on which to base ones judgment of a
banking business.

Mccoy DRUG co.

The Mccoy Drug Company is estab-
lished in quarters at the Leland Build
ing, and also operates the Taylor Drug
Company at II N. Main. The Mccoy
Drug Company is known as The Rexall
Store. The line is much the same at
both places, being of a general drug
store nature, with an especially attractive
supply of Eastman Kodaks in stock.
Then there are monographs, stationery,
sponges, magazines, cigars and tobaccos,
confectionery, with an unusually luscious
variety of package candy, novelties, no.
tions, and the thousand and one things
which can be and always are sold at
drug store, rounds out stock at each
place from which to select sundry sup
plies as we'll as gain the benefit of ex-
pert prescription compounding. Mr..
Frank P. Taylor is proprietor for both
establishments, but Capt. Saunders man
ages the Taylor Drug Company proper.
This combination gives managing per-
sonnel distinctly pleasing and one with
a wide grasp on acquaintance and friend
ly business spirit These component fac
tors conspire toward steady trade and
repeating business regard at all times
and occasions.

MINOT COLLEGE OF
COMMERCE.

Mr.. G. E. Bemis is president and pro-
prietor of this institution He also does
practically all the teaching himself, which
is something to comment on. Here is
one frst-class business college, and the
reputation which it possesses is one of
concrete worth and expanding possibili-
ties. The school is in session the en-
tire year, excepting legal holidays and
the week between Christmas and the
first of the year. Three active depart
ments are maintained, namely, the bust
ness department., shorthand and Eng
lish departments. Inclusive in these de-
partments are found the usual business
school subjects and many others of re-
cent addition and strikingly modern
value. A night school is maintained on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
there is literary and debating society,
special educational commercial work for
teachers who are handicapped by lack
of practical business knowledge. All
told there are about forty-fve separate
and distinct subjects handled and taught
at this school, The institution is located
in the Roell-Blakely building If one
has a son or daughter who should be
trained in some useful, community and
commercial building usefulness, let him
send his children to the Minot College
of Commerce. Write for data on same.
Of a surety, it will be we'll worth your
while. Do it now.

ROELL HARDWARE co,

One of the finest hardware stores in
this part of the country is that owned
and operated by the Roell people. Mr.
J. A. Roell, is prominent Catholic
worker and leading Knight of Colum-
bus, in addition to being a good business
man. The Roell store features fine
builders hardware and tools. But this
does not prevent having an unusually
complete line of the ordinary heavy and
shelf goods, with stoves, paints, oils, cut
lery, the smaller and lighter garden tools

and implements. Sheet metal and fur
mace work in connection with the hard
ware has won many friends through the
expenditious and efficient manner this
work is turned out There are three
floors to the place, with dimension per
floor of Is by 12O. The office of Dis
trict Deputy of the K. c., has been most
acceptably filled by Mr.. Roell for the
past two years, and these different duties
have gained many friends and acquain-
tances for the business side of the house.
From eight to ten men are kept busily
employed in the handling of stock and
meeting of customers. All who go here
come away with a good report of cour-
teous and speedy service, and business
for this firm gets better every day. We
would suggest that you call on the Roell
folk if you have never done so, and
we'll guarantee you'll not be disap-

WILSON STILL FAVORS
LOCAL OPTION LAW
Doesn t Presume to Object to Prohibi
ton as d State Issue-Reply to
Kentucky Editor.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 10. A
letter from President Wilson was made
public here yesterday reaffirming his
position on the liquor question and
clarifying two previous letters on the
same subject. Known as the Shannon
and Grogan letters, they were written
when Mr.. Wilson was governor of New
Jersey.
The Shannon letter favored local
option as a means of settling liquor
issues. 1t stated if they were injected
into state or national politics, they
brought disruption and rendered con
structive legislation impossible. The
Grogan letter has been construed in
Kentucky to mean the writer favored
statewide prohibition.
In view OF tho widely divergent in.
terpretations placed upon the two let
tiers, w. B. Haldeman, editor of the
Louisville Times, wrote the President
reeiting that: Statewide prohibition
has been made all issue by two candi-
dates for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in Kentucky. If YOU feel
that the situation warrants / should
be pleased to have a statement of
present date from you as to your gen
eral attitude toward the questions pre-
scented by these letters. Such a state
ment would do much to clarity our
local situation and do much to empha-
size what YOU obviously intended by
the Shannon letter
E'I have your letter of Nav 9Th. =
the Presidents letter made public yes

not having replied to it sooner. | am

"The reply to your letter is very
simple. NY so-ealled shannon letter
precisely edfnes my position with re
gard to the liquor issue, not only as it
was when I9wrote the 4atter. but az it
is now, and the letter TOR Mr.. Grogan
is, or was, at any rate, intended to be
lentirelyu consist emit with it.
- What / intended to say to Mr..
| Grogan and thin hi that ] said with Euf-
ficient clearness WAS that while the 20

the proper course of action was either
/ in Texas or -anv-othcT state where

81 felt tha#dft sse6uld be arrogant
on my part TO state that there were IL
my opinion no circumstances which
justified an agitation for statewide
prohibition.

that there was no Inconsistency be

forded me the opportunity to make thi.
very explicit
