Record Attendance
Will Mark Summer
Chautauqua Session

From every hand come most en-
couraging reports of a prospective
record attendance at the coming
Chautauqua session, which opens Fri.
day.
Committees were out Tuesday and
canVassed the city thoroughly for
ticket sales. Their reports are opti-
mistic to high degree, they stating
that people are buying season tickets
who never bought before, showing the
feeling that the Chautauqua as home
institution is worthy of patronage.
In addition to this the boosters who
have been making auto trips around
the county have met with cordial re-
ception. Six parties were out Tues
day, visiting Sanborn Eckelson, VIM
bledon, Leal, Rogers and Dazey. VIM
bledon takes kindly to the SpiritwOod
encampment, it being so close to
them, but the hustling little city in the
northwest corner of the county will
still be we'll represented here. In the
other places everything points to
big attendance for the Valley City en-.
campment. The business men realize
the educational value of this work to
the county and are willing to do their
share toward its support.
Wednesday other parties we're out
both south and north and unless rain
prevents practically every part of the
county will be covered by Friday.
Another encouraging feature is the
fact that former occupants of tent
sites who had not intended to come
this summer have just recently made
reservations, some of them using the
phone in order to be sure to get in in
time
Taking everything into consideration.
the outlook this year is better than
ever before. 1t is true that weather
conditions are not propitious, but with
that exception there is every reason
to look for big attendance and a
most successful season. The programs
are really worth while and it will rest
with the citizens of the county to
make the right kind of use of them.
The officers and committees have
just about all that human foresight
and energy can do, but they will not
let up while there is still chance to
put in another lick for success this
year.
A feature that is going to be big
help is Old Settlers Day on July II.
Some of the old settlers, like Mayor
Moe, are not so old yet, and they
Moe, are not as old yet, and they
have several bags of tricks to be
emptied before they concede that they
have got everybody who ought to be
here that day. And all of this is good
a1yrnrficin ~ for tho ircfifutinn tho
kind of advertising that will bring big
results in future years.
Those who have not yet purchased
tickets may secure them at any of
the banks, or from Herman Stern,
chairman of the ticket committee, at
the Straus Clothing Co.

Old Settlers Day Big
Event at Chautauqua

Wednesday, July IL, is Old Settlers
at the Valley City Chautauqua. The
board Of directors, President Sim Ma
son and Secretary J, j. Moe are plan.
ming to make this the big day of the
year. The best musical event of the
session will be on that day and a
speaker Of national reputation will
talk to the pioneers, but we are not
permitted to announce his name yet.
We want every old settler, his wife,
his children and all their friends to
come for this event. One half of the
gate receipts of that day will go to
the Monument fund, so by attending
you will help swell the fund for this
good work. We propose to erect
in honor of the pioneers of
Dakota territory who with their pluck
and work changed the Great Ameri-
can Desert into the bread basket of
the world. The Barnes County Pho
neer club urges every citizen Of the
county to come and take in the Old
Settlers Day at the Valley City Chau-
tauqua. By doing so you will make it
possible for the association to erect a
suitable monument in honor Of our
pioneers.

Storm Wednesday Looked Bad

A heavy rain which came up just
at noon Wednesday brought discom.
forting visions Of another cyclone to
the timid. But with the exception of a
heaby rainfall, vivid bolts of light
ming and some hail, Barnes county
seems to have escaped damage. Off
in the north the clouds looked very
black, but calls by the Times-Record
as far as Robert Davidson's, on the
Linn Wood farm south of Luverne,
disclosed the same report of heavy
rain with some hail, which, however,
did no damage.

move to the border. The notification
to the war department doubtless will
be followed by immediate orders for
such movement of troops.
Ft. Lincoln, N. D., June 27. The
North Dakota guardsmen will be NOV
ing toward the Mexican border within
the next 48 or 72 hours.
Orders issued today recalling re-
cruiting details that remain at the sew
eral cities in which the militia COM
panies have their homes; the fact that
the adjutant general has received in
structions from the war department to
notify railroads of the routing for the
troops, and the further fact that only
four days rations have been provided
here, is regarded as conclusive evi-
dence that the state militia will be
on it's way to Mexico before many
hours have passed.
Among the guardsmen and the off,
GERS, themselves, there is a feeling
that the orders to entrain for the bor-
der may come before the close Of the
day. The feverish haste evidenced by
the war department in hurrying troops
from the east, southwark, is regarded
as evidencing the intention to send
this states contribution to the army,
to the border at once.
St. Louis is regarded as the point of
concentration for the North Dakota
National guard. If the prepared plan
of concentration is carried out, North
Dakota would there be brigaded with
ha no1/n nrir an1,f
Iowa regiment.
Late this afternoon, the adjutant
general will issue orders that will can
ry several new appointments, most of
them of minor nature.
No new men now being enlisted will
be equipped at this time, everything
that can be secured being needed for
the men now in training.
The matter was brauxht to tie at
tcntion Of the men at inspection yes
terday morning when Major Taylor,
U. S. A., with Col. Frame and his staff,
inspected the whole regiment to as
certain just what each man had.
Apps oaching one man in M company,
the colonel asked him if he could
march in pair of civilian black shoes
that he was wearing, and upon being
answered in the affirmat tive, looked at
the scles and agreed.
While the regiment is the largest
assembled since the Spanish-Ameri-
war, it is in poor condition as to equip
ment and needs large amount of
drilling before it can be fit for actual
service. " @ .'4. "7-' ,57'
With the latter end in view, drill
is being given in steady and hard
doses, and the nlen are responding
cheerfully. In keeping with every
indication that move south will fol-
low soon, the camp has the appear
ance of temporary one, and there
are no indications of its being made
more permanent. .
There are two branches of service
in the regiment that are not suffer
ing for want of men. They are the
hospital corps and band. Both are

Cattle Authority Features

Assistant Dairy Commissioner
Greenwood received word on Monday
from VIM. H. Caldwell, of Peters
boro, N. H., secretary of the Ameri-
can Guernsey Cattle club, that he will
be here June 80 to address the boys
and girls encampments at the Chau-
tauqua. His address will be the OPEN
ing number Of the session and as he is
one of the authorities of this country
on cattle and dairying, it will be one
of the features of the session. VAL

quaintance over the country enables
him to secure the attendance of the
big men of the nation.

Overland n. D. Agency
Goes to Doyle Bros.

Fargo, June 27-An important busi-
ness change in automobile circles Of
Fargo and the northwest in which
more than 100000 is reported to be
involved transpired this afternoon
when w. j. Doyle and S. j. Doyle of
Darlington, N. D., took over the con-
tract for the distribution and sale of
Overland automobiles for the Fargo
territory. Announcement that the
deal was consummated came by long
distance telephone from United States
Marshal S. J. Doyle in St. Paul.

to give the public the best possible
service in the territory which is cov-

ness in this city need no introduction
to the people of Fargo nor the terri
tory surrounding, having been active
ly engaged in the machinery business
in North Dakota for the past 20 years.
w. J. Doyle came to this state in 1886,
and his brother S. J. Doyle in 1890.
w. J. Doyle was for many years gen.
eral agent for the Deering Harvester
company at Grand Forks, also for the
Deere-Webber company before he mov-
ed to Darlington to engage in the i'm
plement business and the livestock
business.
S. J. Doyle, the present United
States marshal, has been resident Of
North Dakota for % years and made
Fargo headquarters in the early days
when travelling for the Mccormick
Harvester company. He moved to
Darlington in 1895 and engaged in the
implement and livestock business at
that point, later forming partner
ship with his brother in their present
business under the firm name of the
Foster County Implement company,
which is one of the largest retail es
Establishments in the state of North Da-
kota.

Brothers is first class in financial cir
cles of the country and the WHY'S.
Overland company is fortunate in Sc
curing the services of men of their
reputation for the handling of its
machines which have won reputation
in this especial section Of the coun-
try. The local users of Overland cars
are also to be congratulated because
the fact that Doyle Brothers are con-
nected with this business insures fair
treatment both to the users of Over
land cars and to the local agents
throughout this territory. :
It was announced this afternoon
that it was very probable that w. j.
Doyle of Carrington will move to
Fargo to assume active charge of the
business. ......
