Playground Notes.

| Under the direction OF Contractor y
/ NJ. Nelson, several men began work this
morning to separate the piping of the
playground apparatus at Berlin street. il
having been decided to remove the equip.
ment to a better playground site in front
of the new North Barre school, The pip
| ing was imbedded in large concrete
blocks, there being in all % blocks to be
broken before the apparatus can be sufli-
GENTLY loosened and taken away. The
blocks vary in weight from 300 pounds
TO one half ton. Spring freshets and ice
have wrought havoc with the playground
apparatus, rusting the iron and warping
the piping. No such trouble is antiei-
pated at the new site, which is far re.
moved from the river.

High class Milk.

Wayne MacVeagh, lawyer and dipo-
mat, has on the outskirts of Philadel-
phia an admirable stock farm. One day
last summer some poor children were
permitted to go over his farm and when
their inspection was done to each of
them was given glass of milk.
The milk was excellent. It came in
fact, from a $1,000 COW.

Granite Paving.

! AS one of the principal granite towns
in this country, Concord has reason
to be interested in the national cam
paign now under way to acquaint the
people with the pre-eminent merits OF
granite blocks for paving purposes.
A recent publication OF the Granite
Paving Block Manufacturers Association
of the United States puts the case thus:
Granite blocks have been used for
pavements from time immemoral be-
cause granite is the most suitable and
durable economical material. 1t is wear
resisting; tough and free from chipping
and fanking, and being close grained. it
is free from impurity absorption. No
artificial or manufactured product can
equal this perfection.
Hundreds of years of testing and wear
experience, under the traffic OF all man
ner of vehicles, in all kinds of cities and
under all conditions of grades and wealth
err, have demonstrated that granite is the
only material possessing 100 per cent of
enduring value for paving.
This is recognized and well-known
fact. evidenced by the past use of gran
lite blocks almost exclusively for endur-
ing paving. This is a national and in
tsrnational engineering practice. Gov
ernments use granite for paving drive
ways Street railways use granite for
paving between tracks. Large corpora
tions use granite for paving factory
yard runs and ares-ways. The architect
specifies granite for those structures
which must stand most wear and give
longest life service. Granite is the one
enduring rock.
Hence, city and highway engineers now
demand an improved granite paving |
black and an improved method Of laying |
it--something which viii give a smooth,
durable and sanitary pavement free from
objectionable noise. offering the best |
traction for vehicles and sure. safe
foothold for horses drawing heavy loads
and which will be reasonable in first |
cost and eliminate practically all the
burden Of maintenance.
This demand has been met bv the
owners Of granite qusrTies. To-day. aft
er man wears Of practical experimenting
and developing both in methods Of manu-.
facture and methods Of laying the On
ished blocks. there is available speci.
fcation for improved granite blocks and
. definite knowledge Of the hest methods
for laying. which gives practical paving
perfection and eliminates the objections
offered TO the use Of old style granite
paving

Minot is to have gas plant. A
franchise for it's construction and op-
GRAFTON has passed its M'st reading be-
fore the city commissioners and with
some immaterial amendments will, in
all probability, be passed. The appli-
cants for the franchise are Robert E.
Barron, Samuel j. LaDue and Halvor
l.. Halvorson.
ne franchise as it now stands pro-
Vides that the concern shall have three
miles of mains laid in the city by No
vember rs, 1916. On the passage of
the franchise ordinance the company
agrees to put up bond of $1,000
which is to be forfeited to the city if
work is not commenced in two years
after the granting of the franchise.
The gas is to be manufactured for
heating, lighting and power purposes
and the maximum prise which the
company may charge is fixed by the
ordinance. The highest price is SITS
per thousand feet. When the con-
sumption has reached ten million feet
in the city it is to be reduced to $1.65,
when the consumption reaches twenty
million feet the price is to be $1.60;
when it reaches thirty million feet the
price is fixed at $1.50.
The city is to have gas for lighting
the streets at $1.40 and all the city
buildings are to be lighted free.
A section Of the franchise provides
that the company shall furnish gas to
any section of the city when four peo-
pie to every three hundred feet Of pip
ing necessary to be laid from the
mains ask for the same.

OPEN MARKET MEETING
LARGELY ATTENDED
WORDY WAR BETWEEN GEO. s.
LOTUS AND G.. A. LUKE, OF
THE BERTHOLD FARMERS EL-
EVATOR,

A wordy war lasting several min
utes occurred between Geo. S. LOTUS
and G. A. Luke, chairman of the board
of directors of the Berthold Farmers
elevator, the the Armory Thursday
night, while Lotus was giving an ad-
dress. LOTUS had remarked that he
knew of one instance in which it was
claimed that grain weighed by the
Minnesota grain and warehouse COM
mission weighed out $1,000 bushels
more than were weighed in. short
weighing the farmers. LOTUS asked
the managers of the farmers eleva-
tors why they were not patronizing the
Equity Exchange. S. S. Petry, who is
connected with the Berthold elevator,
wanted some more information. Luke
asked LOTUS how the Equity Elk
change would remedy matters when
the same commission would weigh
their grain. LOTUS replied that when
the Equity gets control, the system
will change. A wordy war then fol-
lowed. Before it had ended, it had
passed to the veracity of the newspa-
pers advocating the opposite side of
the grain contention. LOTUS stated
that the Berthold elevator had paid a
dividend of 10 per cent, or too much
for legitimate profits.
Addresses were made by J. A. An.
derson and S. H. Greeley.

SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
SHOULD RE EXTENDED

Pupils living in Harrison township
attending the city schools are now
obliged to pay $3.50 per month tuition
fee. This section embraces all terri
tory lying north of 4th Ave. N. w.,
formerly Park Ave., and west of Ward
street.
How much more economically and
satisfactorily the educational affairs
OF this section could be managed were
1t included with the city schools and
the facilities afforded whereby the
city system might be combined with
the Model school conducted in con-
junction with the Normal, and alto
gether an arrangement effected which
would be mutually advantageous to
both. We hope that the day is not far
distant when such combination may
60 into effect.

J. G. Frothinger, painter employ

arrest Monday accused Of taking an
automatic revolver from the home of
Atty. Doherty, where he had been at
work last week. Chief Dougherty did
neat piece of detective work in con-

of more than passing notice. Suspect

party he confronted him with the
charge as he was sitting in the coach

he denied any knowledge of the theft,
Chief Dougherty had his suspicious

MISS ROSE LARK|N
CALLED HENCE
BELOVED YOUNG WOMAN ANS
WERS THE SUMMONS OF HER
MASTER EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING.

Miss Rose Larkin, aged % years,
passed away Tuesday morning at the
home Of her mother, Mrs. L. Larkin,
at SIG Ninth avenue, N. w., after a
short illness. The whole community
was shocked to learn of the demise of
this popular young woman. Rose be-
came i'll week ago Wednesday, but
her condition was not considered
alarming until Monday when consul
tation of physicians was held. She
grew weaker gradually and shortly
after awakening Tuesday morning, re-
marked to her mother and sisters that
she was so tired, then passed sweetly
to her long sleep.
The funeral was held from st. Leo's
Catholic church this morning at nine
o'clock and the remains were inferred
in the local cemetery. Requium High
Mass was said by Father Dicamp, dur
ing the absence of Father Raith, who
is out of the city. A large number of
friends, including members of the
Daughters of Isabella, the Sodality
and the Royal Neighbors attended the
last sad rites. The floral tributes were
exceptionally beautiful.
She leaves to mourn, her mother,
two sisters, Kathryn and Name,
nurses in this city, and sister in St.
Paul, Mrs. Lawler.
Miss Larkin was one of Minot's
most talented young women. She had
resided here for nearly ten years,
coming with her mother and sisters
from Willmar, MINI. She taught
school in the county for several years,
being employed at Tasker, at Coulee
and at the Den school. She was re-
garded as one of the very best among
the county's younger educators. She
was an accomplished musician. It
will be remembered that Miss Larkin
won a valuable automobile in a news
paper subscription contest held in this
city more than year ago. She was
very energetic and spent her whole
life in doing good and giving pleasure
to others. Her life was filled with no
BILE desdsa.and those who mourn, the
taking away of this beloved young wo-
man should console themselves in the
realization that it is the will of the
Ruler of our destiny.

G. A. Hassell, Of the Frank & Ora
ham Co., Leland Department store, re-
turned Tesday from a visit to the
manufacturing centers of the east
where he spent two weeks selecting
the fall stock for this popular store
Mr.. Hassel bought with the expect
ancy that business is going to be bet
ter than ever this fall and he selected
a greater array Of merchandise in the
various departments than the store
has ever carried before.
The goods are already arriving and
at the price for which they were
bought, will undoubtedly prove most
attractive to the public. tt will be well
to watch FOR the announcements in
next weeks issue of the Independent.
Mr.. Hassel stopped at his former
home, Detroit, Mimi, where he spent
day or two fishing and visiting with
many old friends. He caught north
ern pike, 80 inches long, weighing Is
pounds, after a hard tussle lasting
twenty minutes.
Mr.. Hassel says the weather in Chi.
cago and other eastern points has been
exceptionally cold and rainy. 1t was
necessary for the hotels to turn on the
steam during his visit there and he is
actually glad to get back to good ole
fashioned summer weather again.

pleted to begin an active campaign in
this city for membership Tuesday
morning, Aug. II, at o'clock. Two or
three hundred men and women will

Whistles will blow at nine o'clock that
morning and that will be the signal
for all workers to congregate in front
of the city hall.
Without starting an active cam
paign, hundreds of memberships from
outside points have already been sent
in.
When the whistles foot and the
church bells ring, get out and assist in
rounding up the membership. The
city will be worked by blocks and the
work ought to be completed in two or
three hours. The plan of campaign
was suggested by ]. D. Van Fleet and
it is a good one. Tuesday will 60
down in history as the greatest rapid
fire campaign ever inaugurated in the
city of Minot.
A board of trustees, twenty-five in
number, has been secured. Next week
we will publish the list, together with
the constitution.
