FIVE TRAINS
ARE SNOWBOuND
Passengers, Crew and One Hundred
Snow Shovelsrs Held Twenty Nine
Hours On Cando Line.

For nearly 80 hours the
crews on five trains, a few
passengers and almost 100
snow shovelers, were snow
bound at Gronna. All edibles
were consumed, and after that
for 20 hours they battled with
the snow drifts without food.
Not until nearly midnight of
Jan. 81 after nearly two days
and nights facing the bitter
cold were the train crews able
to get through on the Brandon
line to Devils Lake where
food was procured. It was
after midnight Monday that
the trains passed through
Cando.
There are three engine crews
with 100 men each working
on the line. Every possible
effort is being made to put the
road in a passabie condition,
but one of the officials Of the
road made the statement that,
if the wind was to blow again
with the II inches of soft snow
on the level, he did not know
what could be done, as shovels
could not do the work, and
snowplows cannot driv e
through the cuts. With these
conditions threatening, and a
coal shortage reported the out
look for the next few days is
anything but CHEEKY. Cando

An EXPLANATION WANTED.

BoTTINEAU Co. is proud of
her Fair. Under it's pres ent
management it has become a
real fair. An exhibition of
Peerless Bottineau's wonder
full resources where her people
can enjoy day or two in see
ing what their neighbor pro-
duces, together with clean
sports. And that reminds us
that it was not always thus.
For years we were given a so
called fair consisting mostly
of a lot of fake horse races and
some nasty side shows from
the red light districts of our
large cities. The horse jock
eys who managed these annual
stunts were finally replaced
with such men as J. l.. Gorder
and Sam Wilson who with
board of directors consisting of
men like them, have not only
paid up the debt they fell heir
to, but have made it real fair.

sneeringly referred to it as

LOCAL QuINT IN
DISTRICT RACE
By Defeating MInot In fridays Game
Bottlneau's Basket Ball Team Is
In District Race.

With record of not having
yet been defeated by a high
school team, the Minot quint
met defeat last Friday evening
at the hands of the local team,
the final score being 26 to Is.
The game was one of the
best, if not the best game that
has ever been played at the
local high school. A crowd of
easily 200 had gathered and at
8: Is, amid the cheering of the
entire high school, the Botti-
neau team marched into the
gymnasium closely followed
by Minot. Minot chose the
south basket and play at once
began. The first basket was
made by Bottineau after but
few seconds of play and Minot
evened up the score in short
notice. From this time on un-
til the end of the first half Bot
tineau maintained the lead but
never by more than 4 points.
The first half ended with the
score standing Bottireau IL;
MinOt 10.
After ten minutes of rest
both teams came back stronger
than ever and each determined
to win. BOttineau again se-
cured the first basket and
steadily increased their lead
until the game ended. In the
last half Ruelle for the local
team scored 8 points and did
exceptional work in the first
half. jacobson for the visitors
scored 8 points while Lynch,
also of the visitors scored 6
points. Ruelle for the locals
scored total of II points,
while Vikan scored 8. The
score for this half was Botti-
neau II; Mipot 6.
Bv winning this game Bot
tineau is eligible to compete
for the district championship,
which will be held in Minot
the latter part of this month
and it is very likely that the
locals will again be pitted
against Minot and from the
game they put up at the Magic
city two weeks ago it is expect
ed that this time they will
come home victorious.
Should the high school win
the district championship they
will then go to Grand Forks
some time in March to take
part in the state championship
events.
The lineup for last Friday
nights game is as follows:
