CENTRAL HIGH
PREPARESF0R
DEVILS LAKE
Eleven Will Be Polished off
and Weak Point
Remedied.

Flushed with their hard won victory
over crookston Saturday the Grand
Forks high school eleven will enter a
hard period of practice this week in
preparation for the game to be played
with the high school in Devils LAX
next Friday afternoon.
Coach Heinie O'Keefe will polish up
his men during the week and will
remedy plays that did not seem to get
desired results and bolster up weak
spots in the team this week. 1t Is ex'
pected that the Grand Forks eleven
to face Devils Lake will be a much
more formidable aggregation than the
lineup that met Crookston.
One thing is certain from the game
Saturday, and that Is that Mayer car
be counted on for rather steady gains
tn ,ough the line as well as around the
ends, and Thoraldson can be banked
on to be a marvel at covering the en-.
tire field. He is a heady little quar-:
terback and although light can HAND
out a perfectly fine mode Of tackline

.h|N0T May SECURE
MILL AND ELEVATOR
A. W. Leuhrs, State Manager. Spent
Two Days Looking Over Sites in
Minot-Mill and Elevator to
Cost S1,000,00O.

A. W. Leuhrs, manager of the pro-
posed state operated mills and eleva-
tors, visited Minot recently and was
shown about the city by Anthony Wal
ton.
Mr.. 'Leuhr's visit here was primari-
ly to look over the city with a view
of locating state owned mill and ell
evator here. He was favorably i'm
pressed with Minot as point for one
of the mills and Mr.. Walton believes
that this will be the second city in
the state selected for a site.
Mr.. Leuhrs viewed the site of the
Northern Birquetting Co., and was ia
vorably impressed with it as it is con-
venient to both the Great Northern
and the 500.
The proposed mill and elevator will
cost million dollars and it is said will
employ about 600 men, bringing IS
families to Minot if it is located here.
The mill will have cooperage in con-
nection with the other lines for the
manufacture of flour barrels.

TAYLOR SOLD OIL TOO SOON
Minot Man Had Chance to Make More
Than 100000, but Cleaned Up
Nice Sum Anyway.

E. B. Taylor, who arrived recently
from Greencastle, Ind, has learned to
his regret that he disposed of his
holdings in an oil well at Bowlirc
Green, KY, too soon. AS it was, he
cleaned up something like 100000 and
he has invested a good part of this
in the Des Lacs Oil Co.
Mr. Taylor would have made some
thing like 100000 had he remained in
the Kentucky concern The we'll was
sold to the Swiss Oil Co. of Louisville
KY, and the capital has been increas-
ed from $1,5OO,000 to S5,000,000. The
majority of the stock in the concern
was held by Greencastle people and
when they sold out, they made ID to
1. Had they remained they would
have made 100 to l. The Kentucky
we'll is now producing 500 barrels OF
oil and water per hour.
Mr.. Taylor believes that eventually
the Des Lacs Western Co. will strike
oil in good paying quantities. The
well is over 22OO feet deep and there
is a horescence of oil in everything
that comes out. The we'll is now be-
low sea level and it is expected that
the Dakota sands will be struck at
2700 feet.

Building Boom in East.

Fay N. Fuller of the Fuller Motor
Co., returned Wednesday from an ex-
tended trip thru the east. Mr.. Fuller
spent the major portion of his time in
Chicago and Detroit. He says that
building operations are being carried
on both at Chicago and Detroit upon
an unprecedented scale. At Detroit
the General Motors Co. are erecting
a fifteen story office building that will
cost seven millions, Not alone did he
observe hundreds Of blocks in course
of erection, but thousands of dwell
ing houses as well. He said that pros
perity was apparent everywhere.
While it is possible to detect a slight
uneasiness over labor troubles, he
said that there were none Of any con-
sequence at Detroit. Speaking Of 10
cal conditions Mr.. Fuller thought that
a good rain within the next few days
would clarity the situation and that
Northwestern North Dakota stood a
chance for ten-bushel crop and with
the high prices guaranteed for this
years crop, this section was sure Of .
good profitable harvest. He said he
was still in the optimist class, that
this country had weathered two poor
crops and that even half crop would
put us in shape to tide US over another
season.

JOHN c. HALY0RSON
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Prominent Minot Citizen Passed Away
Friday Morning-Remains Taken
to Former Home at Henning,
Minn., for Burial.

John g. HalvorsOn passed away Fri
day morning at the home of his son
Henry, at 814 Third avenue N. w. af-
ter an illness of about six months from
complications following the influenza.
Mr.. HalvorsOn was one of the first
citizens in Min0t to contract the epi-
demic and never recovered.
The remains were taken to the for
mer home, Henning, Mimi, where the
funeral was held Tuesday. Those from
Minot attending the last sad rites were
the wife of the deceased, Halvor L.
Halvorson, son, and his wife, a
daughter, Miss Esther Halvorson, and
two sons, Owen and Henry.
Mr.. Halvorson was born near Chris
tiania, Norway, and would have been
63 years old on Sept. % next When
eleven years of age he came to Amer
lea and settled with his parents in
Ottertail county, MINI. The Halvor-
sons were among the earliest settlers
of that county and they resided there
until three years ago, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Halvorson came to Minot to be
near their children. Mr.. Halvorson
was engaged in farming nearly all of
his life and after coming to Minot
resided on his son Halvor's farm a
short distance west Of Minot.
He is survived by his wife and the
following children: Halvor L., Rich
ard D., Henry, Owen, Leonard, Rae
Gena, Olive, Esther and Agnes. He
also leaves two brothers and three sis
ters.
Mr.. Halvorson was a splendid type
Of citizen, bearing an enviable reputa-
ton for square dealing. He had rear

very best of educations, and had the
pleasure of seeing them in honored
positions in life. Hundreds mourn the
death of this good citizen.

MONTANA RANCHERS
ARE KILLING HORSES
One Breeder Shot 5000 Head-HOrses
Selling for $500 Head-Good
Cattle Bring Only $14.OO.

Fred F.. Harrison, Mrs. j. r. Miller
and daughter and Mrs. Metzinger re-
turned the first of the week from a
two weeks outing in Montana and
Wyoming. They motored to Yellow
stone Park, where they spent three
days, after which they went to the
springs at Thermopolis, Wyom., for
weeks sojourn.
Mr.. Harrison tells some pitiful tales
concerning the drouth conditions in
Montana. He saw many cattle and
horses dead along the road. At Liv-
ingston, Mont, there has been no rain
since the 18th of last October and all
along the route except in the irriga-
tion districts, the vegetation has been
dried up. There's not enough vege-
tation to keep mouse alive in many
parts of Montana, he says.
Farmers are moving out by the
thousands. He saw one farmer walk
ing down the railroad track carrying
a suit case full of effects. He told
Mr.. Harrison that he had opened his
gates and let his horses and cattle
out, altho the Almighty only knows
how they will fare.
At Livingston, he saw horse and
So'eiC Du"SIS lIOHl hdIlSdS WHO were
buying choice horses for six dollars
head. Mares with colts at their side
were selling for $500. Good cows
were selling for $14.O0 a head. The
Montana Horse Breeders Association
have arranged to kill all of their
range horses in order to keep alive
certain work horses One breeder has
shot 5000 head Of horses and is skim
ming them.
Mr.. Harrison says the crops begin
to get poor 25 miles west of Bismarck
and they become worse the farther
west one goes. The crops between
Glendive, Mont, and the Missouri riv-
er, in the irrigated district, are the
only good ones in that section. He
says the farmers of northwestern
North Dakota ought to feel thankful
in having so per cent crop, when
one realizes what the poor fellows in
Montana are going thru
Hay in Montana is $4,000 ton, but
enough cannot be secured at any price.

in France. Henry was in the front

enough of it. He was in some hard
fighting but was not wounded. He
says that the men often became cast
in the barb wire entanglements and
twice Ms leggins were torn off in get
ting out. Men would frequently be-
come fastened in the entanglements
and the Huns would capture them.
He tells of Lieutenant falling into a
shell hole in which there was an en-
taglement. He could not get out and
was captured by the Germans.

Bismarck. The officers started at
6:20 Monday evening for Minot and at
$3.50 they were at Max, 10 miles on

Buck, who is self-confessed mur-
derer, testified in Roberts hearing
that Roberts was with him the night
the Minot officers were killed Previ-
ously he had accused Ticknor, but for
some reason changed his story and i'm
plicated Roberts.
Roberts is represented by Attorney
E. r. Sinkler.
Henry Brown, colored, who is accus-
ed of stabbing Goodwin, Minot gam
bier, to death, has taken change of
venue, consequently his case will not
