The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-08-17

Work is in progress on the road
through the timber east Of town, and
while Burlington brags on possessing
the best roads, it will be generally con-
coded that we have better. Mr.. Carl
son and crew are doing the work.
Jack Brady is interested in the gar
den competition Minot is boosting,
and it surely seems hard after the
care bestowed upon the vegetables
John recently exhibited in Main street
that Minot premiums are denied him.
Logan, as the home town of Thor
valid Mostad, is proud of the polit-
ical record he has established, and is
| confident that he will be the peoples
choice for state senator. The Nom
Partisan league wisely preferred en-
dorsement.
Pete Grindberg Of Surrey was re-
cent visitor Pete has invested wisely
in Logan real estate, and whispered
confdentially that a garage would
soon be erected on Main street. And
what Pete says he means, what he
does differs
Grandpa Stredwick is exceeding in
dustrious, and devotes much time and
labor to his garden patch. 1t shows
it. But some lazy, contemplate apol-
ogy for man, persistently pliers
the fruit of his labor. Logan will
handle rudely the culprit. and is deter
mined to ascertain just who he is.
Burlington, Booze and Bugge's make
quite a tale in recent issue. Should
space permit, after running the cut Of
the miniature locomotive Lloyds lately
landed, nicely focused picture of the
destruction Of the next big consign-
ment would be wondrously interesting.
The presence Of the local press repre-
sentative would lend an air of solemn
! ity to the proceedings and remove any
scepticism as to the effectiveness of
the methods Of destruction employed.
DR.. Darland dearly loves to hunt,
and the advent Of the chicken season
finds him we'll prepared. On Monday
he stole time enough to exercise one
of the best trained and pedigrced bird
dogs the county can boast, paying Lo-
gan brief visit during his perigrina-
lions. R. H. Bowman, with mind per-
turbed concerning some trif1ing insur-
ance the local Thorsonite missed. &C
companied the genial Doc.
The "Mayor" of Tasker is periodi-
cally disturbed by the growth of Lo-
gan. The erection of two. modern
bungalows during the past week
awakens the native wit of one who is
doomed to vegetate, with other weeds,
in a delightfully."- desolate spot; and a
reference to the building of shacks
reminds us that the Logan commercial
club, recently agreed one with another
that the only shack the town has,
should be torn down, it being an awful
blot on an otherwise fair landscape
This, Tasker, was inflicted by one who
migrated to your burg, with toy ele-
vator.
The Good Samaritan Aid were en-
tertained on Thursday afternoon by
Mrs. Oliver Saugstad, at her charm
ing residence on Riverside Avenue. As
hostess Mrs. Saugstad enjoys wide
popularity, and the picturesque sur
loundings enhance the charm Of the
visit We were therefore in no wise
surprised to find not only members
but host of friends from Minot and
adjacent territory who enjoyed fully
the delights of shade and scene, the
timber affords The afternoon was
devoted to work, both useful and orna-
mental, and the enthusiasm evident
augurs we'll for the future prosperity
and growth Of an organization which
has definite purpose in view. A Won
circus lunch was daintily served.
Mrs. Ole Saugstad entertained the
members Of the Lutheran Ladies Aid
from Minot on Sunday at her resi-
dence east of Logan. To those weary
OF the odor of creosote, blended crude
ly with the vapor of gasoline, the
