place it on horse. The saddle had
to be put on in just such manner
Three fingers width between the side
bar of the saddle and the shoulder
blade. The stirrups were adjusted
and also the brides, one for the mare,
the other for the horse. This COM

where we were instructed in the
proper method of mounting, and then
we just rode around a little while,

Finally we were halted and the
man on the left was ordered to give
his reins to the man on the right,

100 Foot Flag Pole Erected
On Court House Grounds;
One of Finest In Minnesota

was dressed from it's original state
and painted a spotless white after
having been treated with preserva-
tive
The pole was furnished by the
Crookston lumber company and its
erection was by the county. To haul
this pole required three fiat cars and
A. l.. Molander, general manager of
the Red Lake road, did the hauling
from Nebish, where the stick was
cut, free of cost.
The raising of the pole was the
work of Paul Winklesky and Olin
Gordhammer of Bemidji, a pole and
steel cable being used, and there was
not a hitch in the raising. Many
have often wondered how the big
pole could be erected but those who
watched the proceedings were am
azed at the ease with which it was
accomplished--on it required know
ing how.
The flag raised this forenoon is
splendid addition to the patriotic en-
b1ems floating throughout the city.
