vAsHBURN A CONTENDER

Washburn, N. D., June 1.-THE
stage is being set by County Superin-
tendent NJ. E. McCurdy and his lieu
tenants for the big Mclean county in
terschOlastic meet, which is to be-
pulled off at Underwood, Friday, June
IA. On account Of many of the big
ger boys enlisting and going to war,
It has been expected that the field day
for this year would be somewhat un-
interesting but from present prospects,
it promises to be the most hotly con-
tested yet attempted
The Washburn school has won the
cup for two straight years and il 1t
should win again this year it will re-
tain possession of it. Whether Wash
burn will be able to do this is prob
lematical, for some OF the other big
ger schools are determined that it
shall not Washburn is in the same
position as Wilton was two years ago;
Wilton then had won the banner two
years in succession. Washburn then
came along andprevented Wilton from
chinching the trophy.
Washburn has lost at least five
event-winning students, three on ac-
count of the war; But this by no
means dampens the ardor of the Wash
burnites, who are as determined as
ever to carry off the honors. The
weakness sustained in the high school
is hoped to be offset by the improve
ment in the grades.
1t has not yet been fully determined
which of the schools is going to give
Washburn the best run for its money.
According to the best information on
hand, the most formidable competitors
will be Turtle Lake, Underwood anG
Wilton. The former town has been
practicing hard for some time, it is
said. Cole Harbor, it is reported, also
will not be mean competitor. being

Gxambs & Peet Awarded Con.
tract on Front Street
Sweeper Up Again =

Grambs & Peet at Monday even
ing's session of the city commission
were awarded the contract for the
construction of a new storm drain on
Front street from Sth to, Tenth, to
cost approximately $500. The Hag-
gart Construction Co. Of Fargo was
the only out-of-town bidder.
Warren Bros. Construction Co. in
a letter from the vice president last
evening acknowledged the city com
missions protest against the panicky
condition of the new bithulitic paving
in the down town district and ad-
vised, that repairs would be made as
early as possible. Mr.. Hanlon of Han
lon & Oakes, the contractors who put
in this work, advised the commission
that his company was very busy and
that it was further handicapped
through the fact that Day Oakes, who
had charge of the work here, is now
in the service Mr.. Hanlon however,
promised that the repairs here would
be taken care of as early as possible
and that everything would be made
satisfactory.
Commissioner Best suggested the
parking Of automobiles in the center
OF downtown streets, lin order that
traffic might be diverted to the sides
and there iron out the lumpy pave
ment. Other members of the commits
sion were o fthe opinion that the
streets are too narrow to permit this
practice.
The matter OF street sweeper
came up once more, and Commission
er Best again favored the purchase
Of an Elgin sweeper which operates
under its own power, picks up and
dumps the sweepings, and costs $500.
The commission deferred action until
more information as to the life OF
this sweeper is available.
