Year greeting cards and these were
distributed among their new-found
friends. In their turn the local broom
ties brought back with them a large
card emblazoned with welcome. On
a bright background Of national colors
are the flags Of Saskatchewan, the
United States, the Union Jack and the
tricolor, which stand out against
moose head and an eagle. On it are
the words "Why Not Minot? We'll
come to you, Oh, You Moose Jaw"
This souvenir is now hanging in Char
lie Sanderson's shop, for all to see.
At the banquet the local boys made
the front. These two boys are there
still, for they were not allowed to re-
turn with the rest, but are being en-
tertained at Minot for the rest of the
week. Tonight they will be guests of
ed Ken Bowyer and Moran Rurther-
ford, who have recently returned from
some big scores with Scotch songs,
which were given by Ed. Armstrong
and the Binnie Bros, and of these the
hosts did not seem as if they could
have sufficient. Harry Mead, too,
caused great amusement with his par
ody of II Lo' Lassie," with which he
created roars Of laughter.
And Then the Games.
Incidentally it may be mentioned
that the Moose Jaw men played
twelve friendly games with the Minot
men. Of these they won three. Tell
it not in Gath, but the winning skips
were Judd Battell, Geo. Dewey and
Harry Mead. The mighty fell so bad
ly that not even "Bill" Alexander nor
ebert" Halstead had a peep in.
Besides the excellent spirit of fell
lowship that resulted from the visit
Of the Moose Jaw men to Minot it is
now assured that there will be some
international games played at the
Bonspiel Of the Moose Jaw Curling
club. Four Kinks are coming from
Minot and two from Portal, whilst
two others are expected from the
Twin Cities. 1t is also hoped that
others may be prevailed on to come
to the city. Should they do SO they
may be assured Of very hearty and
cordial welcome.
Just before arriving back at this
city hearty vote of thanks was ac-
corded by the members Of the party
to EBERT" Halstead for the fine way
in which he had arranged the trip.
1t was generally acknowledged that
its success had been due to his eff
forts and these were thus duly ac-
knowledged. The curriers' also desire
to thank superintendent Halkett Of
the c. P. r. for his courtesy in pro-
viding SO greatly for their comfort or
what was one of the most enjoyable
outings in which they had ever par
|-ticipated.

Lapps Wanted Laws ch,noed.

An unusual venture in representative
government was made by recent con-
ference of 100 Lapps in northern Swe-
den. These delegates represented the
whole nomadic people, and their pur-
pose was to frame united protest
against certain laws affecting their
reindeer herds. The Lapps rarely
have any settled habitation, moving
from place to place after the herds
and often coming into hostile contact
with the settled Scandinavian farm
'ers. The law Of Sweden requires the
Lapps to pay fine and damages when
their reindeer damage crops, and It
vas to secure modification Of this
statute that the Lapps held a repre-
sentative conference.

MOOSEJAW CURRIERS' HAD
HGu A GOOD TINE AT MINOT
Moosejaw Daily News Publishes Good
Report of New Years Day
Curling Match.

The following article from the
Moosejaw, sask., Daily News will be
of interest to our readers:
"Why Not Minot?" If there was
any possibility of doubt as to the re-
ception the rs local curriers' who went
to the North Dakota city for New
Years would get, it is all dissipated
now, and if there should be such a
thing as repetition of the invitation
next year, no one coach is likely to
accommodate the numbers of the
members, but it is more likely a whole
train will have to be requisitioned.
"Never had such a time before"
was the unanimous answer to the
query, "Well, how did you get on?"
given by the boys when they returned,
and they were certainly enthusiastic
over the way in which they had been
treated. Nothing seems to have been
too good for them, and even Canadian
coins did not seem to be currency.
On arrival at Minot, which place
was reached at about 5 o'clock on
Tuesday morning, they were greeted
by quite big bunch Of good fellows
who were there with auto cars to take
them to their destination. This prov
ed to be the Leland hotel, where three
suites Of rooms were Immediately
placed at their disposal. Everything
was provided for the local men that
their hearts could wish and the purse
provide. On all hands they were treat
ed as lavishly as though they were
senator's, the cordiality Of their re-
ception far exceeding all expectations.
Canadian Curriers'"
In the evening they were entertain
ed by the Minot men to splendid
banquet at the Elks club, at which a
large number of the most prominent
citizens of the place were present.
The toast Of "The Canadian Curriers'
took the most prominent place on the
program of the evening, and this was
heartily drunk. The responses to this
were made by J. R. Green and A. G.
Halstead, both of whom spoke of the
excellent and sportsmanlike feeling
that the visit had created, and also
gave expressions to the pleasure the
visitors felt at taking the trip and the
great appreciation all experienced at
the cordiality Of their welcome. The
banquet was prepared and served by
the ladies of the Minot Red Cross So
ciety and gave the Moose Jaw men an
opportunity Of showing some practi-
cal expression Of their appreciation of
their visit. This they did by clubbing
together and handing the ladies a
handsome contribution to the funds of
their society.
But the Red Cross ladies were not
satisfied with what they had thus
done. The Moose Jaw bunch contain
honor at Red Cross reception which
is being held by the Minot society.
The Moose Jaw men had taken with
them considerable number Of New

Republicans Name
Strong County Ticket

Peace and harmony reigned su-
preme at the republican county
assembly held last Saturday morn.
ing in the Idaho Springs city hall.
In order to conserve the various
candidates full strength for the
purpose of fighting democrats in
the fall campaign, it was deemed
best to designate but one candi-
date for each office. While the
Amocrats will have four candi-
dates "scrapping" for the sheriff $
nomination, and four more ''wrest-
ling one-another for the chance
to run against Mayor Moscript
for commissioner, and two more
t'tussling" to be nominated for
treasurer, the republicans will be
resting on their oars and ready to
"bring home the bacon.
At last Saturdays meeting Her
bert johnson rendered his resig-
nation as secretary, on account OF
being called into service, and Il.
A. Jones was elected to take his
place.
Following is the republican
ticket as designated. and unless
other candidates be placed on the
ticket by petition, or in case va
cancies are filed by the committee
on vacancies, these are the names
that will be placed on the pripary
ticket to be voted on September 10.

Home Rule For
 Ireland Deferred
 Until End of War

Dublin, Aug. 23-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman of the Irish Con- vention, has published series of ar- ticles in the Irish newspapers with the object of inducing the govern ment to pass at once a Home Rule Act for Ireland upon the lines of the majority report of the convention.
 Pending the putting into operation of the act, he suggested the establish ment of purely Irish executive, com posed of men of all parties, and re- sponsible either to the Irish coonven- tion which has not been formally dis solved, or to the Imperial Parliament
 He appealed for the formation of a middle party in Ireland of moderate men.
 Sir Horaces plan was not received with favor by any section. The Free mans Journal representing the Irish Party, objected to the formation of another Irish party on the ground that Ireland has parties enough and that it's difficulties are "caused as much by internal dissensions as by external betrayals." John Sweetman, for many years leading member of the Sim Fein party, and one of the few wealthy men in it's ranks, wrote to say:
 T cannot agree that England can now settle the future government of Ireland. She must now govern Ire- land despotically till the Peace Con- ference, and it would be for her ben
