WHOLESALE Center
Several Large Wholesale Establish
nents Flourish Here Giving EN-
ployment to Hundreds.

Minot has long been recognized as
the wholesale center for northwestern
North Dakota and Northeastern Mon
tana and every year sees the territory
served by Minot's wholesale houses ex-
tended. Several flourishing establish
ments, giving employment to hun
dreds, are already here, and in the
years to come, this branch Of the city's
business will undoubtedly be greatly
enlarged until eventually every line of
business will be represented in a
wholesale way.
Minot Grocery Co.
The Minot Grocery Co., one. of the
city's largest and the oldest wholesale
establishment, was opened in 1904
with capital Of $4,000. Later it was
increased to 100000 and some years
ago the capital was again increased to
100000.
The first manager was T. P. Grit
fen. The first credit manager was
Orrin M. Pierce, who still retains that
position, having been connected in this
capacity since the house was first
started. Mr.. Griffen was succeeded

Burlington First State Bank Makes
Excellent Showing.


The stockholders of the First State
meeting in the banking rooms January
22nd and reelected the board of direc-
tors, which has served them since the
organization of the bank in 1909, con-
sisting' of James Johnson, r. E. Bar
ron, H. A. Kluver, C. A. Bugge and D.
w. Bowker.
The following officers were re-
elected:
President-James johnson.
Vice President-C. A. Bugge.
Cashier-H. A. Kluver.
Asst. Cashier-W. E. Gross.
The affairs of the bank were found
in excellent condition. 100000 was
added to the surplus, making the sur
plus $10,000.O0, which is equal to the
capital, and thus placing the bank on
the Honor Roll of North Dakota banks.
The men connected with this bank
have extensive business interests in
this section of the state and are we'll
known in financial circles in this part
of the northwest The officers have a
keen interest in the progress and de-
velopment of the community and have
aC all ClmeS encouraged the farmers OF
the locality in their effort toward di-
versifed farming. In addition to the
lines of banking usually followed by
the country bank the First State ex-
tends to its patrons practically every
service to be had in city bank. That
this spirit of efficient service is ap-
preciated by the people of Burlington
and community is reflected in the
steady growth of the institution and
the high esteem in which it's officers
are held in the community.

by w. E. Dietz and he by A. G. Jacob
son, who was promoted to a general
managership the first Of the year. Mr.,
Jacobson's successor is S. T. Conlan,
who has been identified with Minot's
wholesale interests during the past
ten years.
This company has been very success
full, the increase being steady from
year to year. The territory served ex-
tends east to Rugby, north to the Can,
adam line, west into Montana and
south to Harvey, taking in the Drake
branch, and southeast to New Rock :
ford on the G. N. A large force is
employed by this concern, thirty in all,
including six statesmen, nine in the Of
fee, eight in the warehouse, the man.
ayers of three departments, draymen,
etc. Many of the employees have been
connected with the house for years.
Manager Conlan states that the
trade conditions for 1917 are very
promising. The house receives all of
its merchandise in car load lots, and
favorable freight rates enables it to
compete very successfully with the
Twin City and Duluth concerns.
The Minot Grocery Co. will enlarge
their present quarters materially in
the near future, either by securing ad-
ditional lot space Of by adding num-
Der of stories to their building.
Stone Ordean- Wells Co.
The Stone Ordean-Wells Co., which
was established in Minot in 1906, is
forging right to the front, the business
showing a continuous, substantial
growth. The business was first con-
Quoted in one story building across
the G. N. tracks, when several years
ago the company occupied their pres
ent brick block. Ira D. Wight has
been the manager since 1910, making
an enviable record.

of quality fruits, high grade and sta
Die candies, Robert Burns, Little Bob
BY and Owl cigars fresh vegetables,
etc. Goods are received in carload
lots and the dealers are always assur-
ed the very best in the various lines
and at right prices.
This company buys an immense am
cunt Of vegetables from local truck
gardeners and growers are always
assured an excellent market. There is
bright future for market gardening
on large scale in northwestern North
Dakota.
Bergseth Fish Co.
The Bergseth Fish Co., wholesalers
Of fresh and sailed fish, erected fine
business block on First street in the
fall Of 1915, and from the very first
day they were in business they have
enjoyed a splendid patronage. The
Bergseth Fish Co. are the only con-
Germ engaged exclusively in the fish
business in the state, outside of Fargo.
The success Of the Minot house is due
in great measure to the ability and
hustle Of the genial manager, K. An
derson, who enjoys the friendship and
esteem of every one with whom he
comes in contact. The remarkable
success of the Minot house sustains
the confidence of those whose business
foresight was responsible for it's loca-
tion at this point. They are exclusive
agents of the midnight Sun" brand
of canned salmon, general favorite
with the public and which is adding
materially to the prestige of the local
institution.

Controversy in Donnybrook School
District.

The Donnybrook board of education
was in the city Saturday to attend a
hearing before Judge Leighton, who
was called upon to settle controversy
which has arisen in the Donnybrook
district over the ACCESSIBILITY of erect
ing schoolhouse in an isolated por-
ton of the district. The board had
made arrangements for the pupils liv-
ing there to attend school in an adj
joining district but some of the fam
lilies concerned want separate school
maintained. The Judge took the mat
ter under advisement. The members
of the Donnybrook board who were in
the city to attend the hearing were E.
Galehouse, P. A. Johnson, VIM. Work
man, and Glen Champion, clerk.

The company is now building new
fire proof block, 90x80 feet, extending
to the street and joining the present
structure. The basement will extend
under both buildings, leaving cover
ed driveway between. The new build
ing will give the Stone Ordean- Wells
Co. $4,000 additional square feet.
The Offices will occupy a space 24x90
feet. A much larger stock, which is
needed badly, will be carried.
The company will be equipped to
load and unload three cars of merchan-
disc at one time.
Twenty are on the pay roll of this
company in Minot and the force is be-
ing increased steadily. The company
accommodates the retail merchants of
northwestern North Dakota and Mon
tana, the territory extending to Har-
lem, where it meets that Of the COM
pany's Great Falls house.
Ward Fruit Co.
The writer we'll remembers when
the first wholesale fruit and produce
house was started in Minot more than
a decade ago. It's name was the Minot
Fruit & Produce Co. George Morrow
Fred Ward and Fred Herrick were
among the organizers. The business
grew and later the name was changed
to the Ward Fruit Co. After running
several years it became such a big
success that Nash Brothers, seeing a
great future for a business of this
kind in Minot, bought it, and it is now
one of the many very successful Nash
Brothers wholesale houses.
A. B. Lee is the manager and C. A
Mccarthy is assistant manager. They
are very capable, hustling businessmen
and an immense business is done an.

POstOffice Receipts Show Increase

Postoffice receipts Of any city show
whether there is real growth or not, so
that the following figures will show
'conclusively that Minot has forged
ahead very rapidly of late:
In 1915 the postoffice receipts of the
Minot postoffice totaled $54,313.75. In
1916 this amount was increased nearly
$4,000, or to be exact, the receipts of
the past year totaled $66,134.26.
In 1910 the postoffice receipts were
$40,63446. This would make the in
crease since 1910 over SO per cent.
The population Of 1910 was $3.50, while
at the present time it is estimated that
Minot has 14,300 people.

Grand Forks claims more population
than Minot, but in this regard Minot is
giving the city on the Red river a good
run for its reputation in this partic-

Minot has a record that makes all
her people justly proud and with an
other year before us that promises
even greater achievements in the
building line, we should be especially
enthusiastic.

for several gardens.
However, if the gardener feels that
he cannot afford to buy a pump, he can
apply the sprays in various other ways
The sprinkling pot is very wasteful
but its use is better than not to use
sprays at all. Before spray pumps
were invented whisk brooms were used
TO sprinkle ON spray mixtures. This
method can still be followed.
| The cheapest spfayers are the small
! atomizers. These cost from 30 cents to
two dollars and are entirely satisfac-
tory for small gardens. Other good gar
/ den sprays are the bucket pump, which

air spray, an Implement which costs
from 50 to $3.50. These spraycrs are
supplied by seedsmcn OF hardware deal

Sprayers.

The most economical way of using
insect sprays is in some sort of a spray
pump. Every good gardener IS prepared
to combat the insects which may other
wise make his crop a failure. The gar
den may escape, but should the insect
hordes come, the gardener should be
prepared.
y sprayer for scattering insecticides,
as the sprays and mixtures are
called, is not an absolute necessity, but
il is highly desirable for the gardener
to have one. The prices range all the
way from 80 cents to seven or eight dol
lars. When there are many small gar

GOVERNMENT IN
COMBATING FIRE
Dry Season in Northwest Has
Caused Many Forest Fires
and Many Men Have Been
Used to Break Down This
Menace.

SPOKANE, Wash. Sept. S.-An
army numbering thousands of men
has been recruited and sent afield
throughout the northwest during the
last several weeks to combat the men,
ace of forest fires, unusually serious
this season because of the lack OF
rains.
Recruiting stations have been open
ed on an hours notice in cities most
handy to the front" and entire COM
panies of so, 100 and 200 men hav.
been enlisted and sent post haste to
the first line of defense. Mostly they
are trained men for their work-lum-
berjacks accustomed to the strenu-
Gus life in the open that forest fire
fighting necessitates.
In district No. l of the United
States forestry service, comprising
parts of Montana, Idaho, North and
South Dakota and eastern Washing
ton, are included 14,3S7,OO acres OF
timber. besides grazing lands for a
total of 22.273,O77 acres. This is dis
tribGted over &c forest reserves.
Most of the problems incident to
provisioning and equipping a military
army must be met for this great force
of fire-fighters, and they are worked
out, in advance, with all the exact
titude that characterizes modern war
fare. Besides the recruiting service,
