Flaten Returns From Eastern Mar

kPIS-
Lafc Flaten, of the Minot Cloak &
Suit Co., returned from buying trip
to New York City Sunday. Lafe has
been gone four weeks and despite
many discouragements which he met
in placing his orders, caused by the
shortage of materials, he feels that he
was fortunate in getting on the mar
ket early, as many lines will be abso-
lutely unobtainable later. Prices are
still soaring and there is a feeling IN
the East that this country has at
least another year of war ahead. One
Of the sights which he describes as
witnessing while in New York was
the st. Paul, Admiral Schley's flag
ship when Uncle Sans navy knocked
the Spanish feet into smithereens.
The St. Paul at that time was consld-
erel the finest boat in the world, haV-
ing been converted into cruiser at
the outbreak of the Spanish-Amerlcan
war While tied to her dock a mys-
ferrous explosion caused the boat to
turn turtle and workmen are now en-
gagged in trying to right the vessel
and discover the cause of the accident.
In New York harbor Mr.. Flaten saw
many war ships, submarines and tor
pedo boat destroyers. He says the
Streets Of all the larger eastern cities
are filed with soldiers these days

Minot Architect Designs Grain Bin.

Architect R. T. Frost of this city
has designed grain bin which he
designates the Liberty Grain Bin, one
Of the most convenient receptacles
for storing grain we have seen yet.
It is constructed Of wood and built so
that one man can easily take it apart
and load it within the space of 30
minutes. It holds all the way from
500 to 800 bushels Of grain according
to height. The government has pro
hibited farmers from running grain
from the machine into piles upon the
ground and now that the supply OF
woven wire commonly used for this
purpose is unobtainable, we believe
this is one of the handiest devices up
on the market today
