sofa Land and Lakes Attractions
board. the senate expressed its de-
sire to keep pace with the develop
ment program that is interesting
many other states this year ny the

heretofore has been otherwise
directed.

by the houses within few days and
those interested in the early devel-
opment OF Minnesota's "sky blue
water" country are urging its pass
age.
Senator p. II. McGarry Of Walker
has explained that the law in, no way

state immigration department. The
activity Of that bureau will continue
to Minnesota, while the Land and
Lakes Attraction board Will direct
its effort toward publicity cam

HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL
PROVES HUGE SUCCESS:
FULLY $500 REALIZED

:. Packed like tho 'proverbial sar-
dimes In, box. was the high school
carnival last evening" the affair be-
ing held In the high school building,
and 1t. is estimated tthat the sum !:oY
fully $500 will be cleared for the
benefit of the athletic association.
The affair was sponsored by ,Princi-
pal J. w. Smith.
The public schools were represent
ed In large numbers, the parents OF
the pupils were also largely repre-
ted and friends of the schools
were out in large number, congest-
ing every inch Of tho space devoted
to. the booths and entertainment
features ~ -
{ The big feature was the minstrel
performance,, presenting a cast Of
fourteen, under the direction Of Miss
Conant, director OF music Of the pub
lie schools. The songs were of the
latest and several Of the dulps evoked
mliHh mirth. The attraction was
packed at every performance.
The swimming. match was novel
ty- and created much amused COM
ment The contestants were Miss
Eloise Dickens and Miss Babe
Getchell, who appeared in the crowd
wearing bathing suits. The general
Impression was there would be IN
exhibition of swimming and when
the young ladies entered curtained
apartment and the patrons of the
feature entered another, the latter
discovered a small receptacle, which
contained water in which was a
"swimming" match.
In the cabaret was served light re-
freshments and dancing was a fea-
ture by patrons. The various classes
sold candies, pop corn balls Of hot
dogs. The Fountain of Youth at-
tracted a large number and the for
tune teller satisfied the curious.
Various other features along carni-
val lines were also in evidence.
The entire affair was a big sue
cess and seems certain to take Its
place in high school annual enter
tainments.

Charles L. Doherty of Walnut Beach is an aspirant for the office Of Town Clerk and an association known as the Charles L. Doherty associa- tion has been formed which Is going to see that he gets the nomination on the Republican ticket this election.
 MT. Doherty's ability to perform the duties Of the office is well known and it is believed that his candi- dacy will give the old time Republi- can machine of the town something to think of for the next few months.
 The leadership displayed by MT. Doherty when he almost single hand ed brought about the sentiment that forced the town meeting recently to authorize the issuance of the bonds for building permanent roads shows that when he goes in for anything in earnest he will come pretty near getting it or know the reason why.
 He has a number of friends in De- von who will do every thing in their power to help him in his endeavor to obtain the nomination.
 Philip Keefer of Devon has accept ed a position with the Yale & Town company of Stamford. He was form erly employed in Bridgeport.
