BRIhER TOWNSHIP PICNIC
WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL

! Sanborn Enterprise: The picnic
and great neighborhood gathering in
Brimer township last Thursday was
an event of more than ordinary inter.
est and attracted visitors from all the
surrounding towns. 1t was a new de.
parture in this section and the crowd
numbered several hundreds.
The program began before noon and
lasted well into the night, and includ-
ed speech making, bali game and va.
riety of athletic contests. Among the
speakers were Rev. Alex Karr, of Val
ley City Chautauqua fame, and Mr..
Taylor Of Fargo, and Editor Cole, of
the Fargo Searchlight. A dance was
held in a large barn at night and the
attendance was so great that the floor
was crowded to suffocation. Clure's
band furnished the music for the
dance.
The Sanborn Boys band, an organ
ization which is becoming we'll known
in this section of North Dakota, fur.
nished the music throughout the day
and came in for full share of praise
and admiration.
The Sanborn ball team played two
games and were victorious in both

Sanborn winning by a score of to q.
Batteries, Stephan and Schriever. The
second game, Sanborn vs.. Spiritwood,
was won by Sanborn 8 to 8. Batteries,
Neuestel and Schriever.
When it is considered that Brimer
township is in the extreme west end of
the county, that only few years ago
the first settlers arrived in it, many of
whom are still living, one cannot but
be amazed at the progress and ad-
vancement. One of the surprising
features was the number of automo-
biles, scores of which we're on the
ground where only a few years ago
the OK team was the principal motive

OLD FORT RANSOM SITE
WANTED FOR STATE PARK

Bismarck, June 30.-For the pur-
pose of preserving the historical value
of the old fort, citizens of Ransom
county have started a movement to
have Fort Ransom converted into a
state park. This fort was one of the
frontier posts established in this state
by the government in the Indian per-
iod and troops were first located there
4S years ago, remaining for five years.
The fort was abandoned for military
purposes in July, 1872.
The military quadrangle, the sites
of the buildings and the cellars are
easily traceable. It is one of the
states beauty spots, near the sinuous
Cheyenne river, and has for many
years been a favorite picnic resort
for farmers.
State parks have been created at
other frontier army posts and those
at old Fort Abercrombie, Fort Rice
and elsewhere are very popular.

Inmates of the Cost.

Commissioners Adams and Ross
opened the bids for the construction
of the proposed wagon bridge across
the Boise river near Parma Monday.
Commissioner Geisler was not pres
ent. The contract was awarded to
the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron

garded as indicating the seriousness
of his state of health. 1t is believed
that his friends are hopeful that he
may be able to enter the campaign
when the time arrives and in the
meantime they are not giving out any
diScouraging statements. In any
event the announcement of Mr..
French's ill-health will come as dis
tinct shock to his friends throughout
the state.
Two other North Idaho men have
been prominently mentioned for the
congressional nomination. They are
Speaker Conner and Senator Elliott.
Speaker Conner appears to have ELI
minated himself and will throw his
strength to Herman H. Taylor for
governor. Senator Elliott may not
be a candidate if French seeks the
nomination, but if French is not a
candidate, Elliott would probably fall
heir to the French strength in the
state, as they were close friends. and
both of the Progressive wing of the
party.
A Boom. for General Patch.
General Patch of Canyon County
for Lieutenant Governor" is the talk
that is frequently heard in various
parts of the state. The General has
long been prominent in National
Guard circles and has served as Ad-
jutant General of the organization. He
is popoular among the members of the
National Guard and has been promin-
emit in party affairs. He represented
Canyon county in the legislature and
is prominent business man of Pay
cite.
There has been but little concentra-
ton of sentiment as to candidates for
state Offices other than the governor
ship, but the announcement that Mr..
Patch is to be a candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor indicates that every
position is to be sought by men who
measure well up to requirements, and
out of it all it would seem likely that
the Republicans will in 1916 put for
ward the strongest and best ticket
ever presented to the voters of this
state.

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
ORGANIZATION OF
CANNERY

Soon after the first of the year plans
for the establishment of a canning
factory will be perfected and every
thing be gotten ready for the season
next year.
There are thousands of dollars
worth of Gull fruit that go to waste
every year in Caldwell, and this year
thousands of boxes of 6rst-grade
peaches rotted on the ground.
The factory at Payette has been
success and the men interested in
the new factory here are satisfied that
the factory will be big success from
its inception.
The factory will be started in
small way and though there is to be
plenty of capital stock back of the
proposition, it is thought that the
factory should prove its value before
any large investment be made.

IS THE NEXT
INDUSTRY TO Be
ESTABLISHED

For the past few weeks certain in
terests have been quietly investigat-
ing the field in Caldwell and vicinity
and have become convinced that the
establishment of a saw and planning
mill here would be a good paying
proposition.
The log rate established by the
Public Utilities commission makes the
success of the business almost GER
tain. There are thousands of acres of
good lumber within comparatively
easy shipping distance of the city and
the mill here will saw and dress lum-
Der for the local trade. as we'll as
manufacture doors, windows. etc, for
the building business.
While the parties interested do not
want to be known until certain sites
are acquired, it is practically certain
that the mill will be started in the
near future and another pay roll add
ed to the busy little city.

IMPRESSIONS OF
FRISCO FAIR GROUNDS

Berkeley, Calf, Nov. 20, 1915.
hardly know where to begin in
telling little Of the fair. Though l
have not been priveledged to spend a
great deal of time there it is so fam
liar that | can see it rather in the
large than in detail. However, I'll
try to help you to see it.
The grounds are surrounded by
Uncle Sam on the two ends, San
Francisco on one side, and on the
other the bay. Built mostly on re-
claimed tide flats, they are practically
level, a sharp contrast to 'Frisco's hill
rising steep above. The Golden Gate
is nearby. You could throw across
almost-on a fair day, although they
say it's several miles.
If you don't mind we'll take our
first peep from the hills above. and. if
you please, on bright day, blue skies
above and blue waters beyond set off
beautifully our city of spires and
domeS-of gardens and lawns-of
courts and lagoons-the FAIRY" city.
There are colors galore but the pre-
vailing tint of the walls is pink, while
the domes are all in green.

these buildings are relieved by little
spires and towers ranging from tiny
fellows to the great Tower of Jewels

of this section is the lagoon with it's
beautiful Palace of Fine Arts beyond.
Then comes the state and national
buildings with the stack barns and
race track further on. The "Zone"

miles, | believe. The great domes

Danger in Cleaning With Gasoline.

Danger in Cleaning With Gasoline.
The attention of the public is direct
ed by the State Fire Marshal of Ohio
to the fact that more fires in dwelling
houses in Ohio last year were caused
by defective fueS than were due to
any other cause. He goes on to de-
scribe the principal defects in Chin
ney flues and to tell how a chimney
should be constructed with a view to
securing safety from fire. This is
most important subject. and if the
public will heed the warning extended
by the Fire Marshal in this respect
alone the result should be a consider
able decrease in the destruction of
life and property.
Most housewives would be fright
ened into Mysteries if they saw one of
their children playing with a loaded
shotgun. Yet some of those same
women will thoughtlessly undertake
dry cleaning in the kitchen with gaso-
line. Using bowl or a pan of gaso-
line in the kitchen is about as harm
less pastime as playing football with
can of nitroglycerine.
A tlrm which manufactures a COM
pound used with gasoline for dry
cleaning is advertising its product ex-

Collect Your Life Insurance" would

Gasoline is a high explosive, more
powerful and easier 10 set off than
dynamite. Thousands of people have
been burned to death or blown into
bits by handling it carelessly. Case
line evaporates very rapidly, and a
small dish full of gasoline will fill an
ordinary kitchen full of highly ex-
Plosive gas in a few minutes. A
match, spark. a FIRE burning in the
kitchen range or a gas light is all
that IS necessary to complete the
combination. A wrecked house and a
| funeral are the usual result.
With all possible precaution taken
dry cleaning with gasoline is a yer,
dangerous process. If a housewife
feels that she must do her own dry
| cleaning she should be very careful
to follow these instructions:
l. Get your gasoline in a tightly
closed red can.
z. Do the whole job out of door.
at some distance from the house.
5. Take your pan out of doors be
fore you put the gasoline in it.
