Otto Scverson has been transferred
from the yards Of the Wcilcs-Ttomp.
son Company at Oakcs to tire yards
Of the same company at Northwood.
Northwood is lively little city on
the Great Northern between Fargo
and Grand Forks. and the yards there
of the Wellcs- Thompson Company do
better business than at Oakcs, so the
change is in the nature Of promo
tion. MIR. Sevcrson left for there
Monday TO look over the field. The
Scversons are splendid people and we
dislike to see them leave Oakcs.
Dollar Day in Oakes was big sue
cess. Everything that was brought
in for the auction was sold. Owing
to the looks of the weather in the
early morning not as much was
brought in as promised, hut what was
sold brought good priccs. The mer-
chants all had big run on their dol
lar offers. As an indication of the
raid made on some stores will just cite
the instance of the Second Street
Meat Market where Mr.. Davis got
away with over one thousand pounds
of lard. and but ten pounds of lard to
the person.
