Flaxton, N. D., Feb. lit is re-
ported that the 500 line has definitely
let the contract for the construction
of an extension of $50 miles of the
Flaxton- Whitehall branch. The con-

This projected line will form cut
off to the main line to the coast and
will open to transportation all of the
territory between the main line Of the

projected, says one report, it will
strike across northern Montana at an
average distance of about ten miles
below the Canadian boundary, direct
ly north of Glasgow, Malta and Chi
nook, and north of Havre the line bears
little south to a point about as far
north as St. Joseph, which is just II
miles north of Havre.

remained to complete the course.
Every phase Of gas tractor operation,
assembling, and care of parts, re-bab-
biting bearings-in fact everything
pertaining to gas tractors, was incor-
porated in their studies and work. The
course was free to every owner of a
gas tractor or the operators of same
The sessions began each day at 900
a. m. and closed at 4:3O p. m. On
Thursday Of this week the examina-
tons were held. Papers with ques-
tions covering the matter studied were
submitted to the students and written
answers required. These were supple
mented by oral questions. Those who
show the requisite skill and knowl-
edge will be given letters stating the
fact. The required average is rs per
cent. Much credit for the success of
the school this year is due the man
ager Of the local branch of the Ault-
man-Taylor Co., E. c. Malm, whose
presence and encouragement added
materially to the success Of the school.
The local plant is planning on doing
an enormous business this season.
Last year they were unable to secure a
sufficient number of tractors to supply
the demand for these popular mach
ines. The prospects are much better
this season in this particular as the
factory has been enlarged and the
production increased. At the Minot
house six men are employed the year
around. Two of these men are travel
ing statesmen, while the rest are sta
toned at the building filing orders
and assembling.

Minot Auto Co. Banquetted Dealers
and Other CHESTS.

and Other Guests.
In keeping with the annual custom
of the Minot Auto Co., the visiting
dealers handling the Overland and
WHY'S Knight cars were banquetted
at the Leland hotel this evening. AS
in every function of this character at
this popular hostelry, the management
provided a menu and service that was
par excellence Covers were laid for
one hundred, but the severe weather
of the last few days prevented some
of the dealers living on branch lines
from being able to attend. However,
fully seventy-tive visiting dealers and
distinguished guests gathered about
the board and for fully four hours
merriment and feasting occupied
every moment of the time. An orches-
ira furnished delightful music thru
out the evening and as a most pleas
urable surprise the Minot Auto Co.
had engaged the entire show troupe
of the Grand Theatre and these artists
furnished the guests with thrills that
will long remain pleasant memory
with the visitors. Judge L. j. Palda
acted as POSTMASTER and as usual on
these occasions, was in splendid form
and contributed much to the enjoy
ment of the evening. Various mem
bers of the Minot Auto Co. as well as
visitors addressed the assemblage and
the banquet closed with the feeling
that 1917 will be the banner year OF
the Minot Auto Co., as well as a sure
winner for the various models of the
popular Overland and Willys-Knight
autos.

POULTRY SHOW WILL
Be A BIG SUCCESS
Entries Already Coming into the Sec
rstary's Office in Steady
Stream.

he first annual show Of the North
.wsstern North Dakota Poultry Asso-
citation is going to eclipse the most
sauguine expectations of those who
have charge Of the event, as is evil
dessed by the steady stream of en-
tries that are coming into the Secre-
>tasy's Office in this city. They are
coming from far and wide too, which
shows that the interest is not of local
character alone.
The fine little city o. Velva will
perhaps carry off the honors az to
tho largest number of birds coming
from one town, as the poultry indus
ty down there is on the full jump,
and best Of all, the poultry fanciers Of
that city have some mighty fine speci-
mems of the feathery tribe.
The Missouri Slope will also be very
nueh in evidence from as far west as
Dickinson, where the poultry business
is in full swing. E. G. Patterson,
swner Of the Hotel Mckenzie at Bis
naarck, will have a fine exhibit from
his large farm, and Warden Talcott
Of the state penitentiary will have the
pick of the flocks from that institu-
ton here at the Minot show.
Inquiries have been received from
As far away as Wisconsin, and it
would not be surprise if some ex-
cellent exhibits from other states
would be here for the show.
Mr.. Holden Of Owatonna, Minnesota,
the foremost poultry authority Of the
country, will be here to judge the ex-
hibits, and this insures square deal
to all exhibitors, no matter where they
come from.
Efforts are being made to hold the
show down town if possible, so that
it win be more handy for all those
who expect to attend, but if large
enough quarters cannot be secured the
Armory will be used. At any rate all
arrangements are being made to take
care Of from 500 to 700 birds.
County Agent w. A. Peck has made
ARRANGEMENTS with the Agricultural
College for special lecturers for wom-
ems and girls meetings during the
show.
The dates for the show are March
to 10, but the show proper will not
be open to the public until the morn
ins of the 18th, when all exhibits will
10 in place and ready for the inspec-
ton of the people. Bear the dates in
mind and be sure and attend, for this
is but one way to show that the poul-
try industry is really coming in this
part of the state, and a little !encour-
agement from our people will go a
long ways.
