The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-04-12

smoke had cleared away the judges,
Miss Flora Burr, Miss Clara Erickson
and c. j. Ryding, gave the negative
the decision by a vote of two to one.
"The public assembly hail." in the
city of Roth is sure some place for
people of intelligence to gather. The
young people tried to play games
there on Friday evening after the de-
bate. They started their games but
they did not last long as the floor was
so dirty that a person was nearly
wading through the dirt shoe deep.
Several of the young people nearly
coughed their heads off. We all hope
that the "City Fathers of Roth" will
take this as a lesson and learn to keep
their public places sanitary.
Mr.. Garden, the Progressive Of
Souris" is still keeping up his petty
political attacks on Rishof and the
Courant. It seems to me that Mr..
Garden should have learned by, this
time that the majority of the people
intend to stick to Rishoff and let Mr..
Garden slide. Mr.. Garden is dead,
politically, as far as the people Of
Bottineau county are concerned. Just
a grain of advice to this "sage solon
of the people," Do not try to block
the wishes of the people with your
2x4 arguments and your two page
newspaper. If you take things so
hard because the farmers are trying
to run things in a farming state, you
had better desist from your present
wall of foolishness and move to a
| place where people think the same and
believe in the same kind of political
junk that you do yourself. We all
hope that Mr.. Garden will soon be con
verted to our way of thinking with his
"Souris Messenger" as we'll as his
superiors, such as Jerry Bacon of
| Grand Forks fame; the Bismarck Tri-
bune is slowly following the lead of
the Nonpartisan workers.
Mr.. Orborne, who spoke in Landa
the past week, sure gave a good talk
and converted many of the old time
Chamber of Commerce farmers to the
way of the Equity way of thinking.
T. D. Acheson and Marvin Olson
went to Westhope Tuesday night to
get the formers runabout, which hap
pened to be a Flanders. They got as
far as the grade on the east side of
the river and while changing the
speed from high to low the shifting
fork broke and the machine took a
backward slide. The two young men
can consider themselves lucky that
they escaped without injury as the
hill was both slippery and steep.
Rev. M. o. Silseth preached in the
Mouse River Lutheran church to a
large congregation. After the SER
vices he was driven to the Thos. Vim
je home, where he stayed until Sat-
urday morning. He then took the
train at Landa for points in the east
ern part Of the state.
Lewis Mork stole a march on his
many friends the past week when he
was married to a young lady whose
name we do not know at the present
time. Mr.. Mork is a young gentle
man of good moral standing and ster-
ling worth. We all wish them the
best there is in life.
Oluf Olson and the school teacher
of No. 5 were callers at the Knute
Holm and Ole Ramstad homes on Sat-
urday afternoon.
A good number of the people OF
Eidsvold were at the debate in Roth
Friday evening. We all hope that the
people of Roth will p%atronize on,
literary program, which will be hello
at the township hall on Sunday eve
ming, April Is.
Edwin Olson, one of the students ir
School No. 5, has quit on account OF
spring work. We all hope that hi
will be back in school again next year
Sandy Hanson and Henry Olsor
have been busy the past week hauling
grain to Landa and Roth.
Automobiles stuck in mud holes
has been a common sight the past
week.

week and got nearly half of the Eids.
