J. r. LYNCH ENTERS EMPLOY
OF GORDON TREATMENT co.
New Assistant Business Manager En-
garded to Care for Rapidly In
creasing Business.

In conversation with Chas. 4. Cor
don, president and manager Of the
Gordon Treatment Co., he states that
his business has grown steadily thru
out the winter months and that plans
are now being made to increase the
facilities they now have to care for
the growing demand for various pre-
parations manufactured. From the
present outlook it may be necessary
to place this department in separ-
ate building where sufficient room may
be obtained for the laboratory equip
ment required. Miss Christine Mel
son, the new operator is gaining addi-
tional laurels daily for her remark
able work. Many Of the regular GUS
toners have been delighted at being
able to secure appointments for even.
ing service which is rather out OF
the ordinary course pursued in es-
Establishments of this character. }. +.
Lynch of Devils Lake, for long time
connected with the Great Northern
railway at that point has entered the
employ of the Gordon Treatment Co.,
as assistant business manager. Mr..
Lynch comes to Minot well recon-
mended as an active, keen enterprise
ing business man and his entry into
the firm will greatly relieve Mr.. Cor
don of many of the details of the busl-
ness which have long been a great
hindrance to him in his capacity as
consultant and chief operator.

CORRESPONDENCE
SOUTH PRAIRIE ITEMS

Knute Olson, a farmer residing 10
miles south of Minot, turned his cows
out to water Tuesday morning and
after giving them sufficient time he
went out to look for them. Unable
to find the cattle he took two balls Of
binder Irvine and tying one end Of the
Irvine to a fence he wandered about
over his farm finally finding the cat
tie out at the far end of the pasture.
Three head were down, one standing.
Tying his Irvine to the tail Of one of
the animals he returned to the house,
guided by the Irvine and securing
blankets he went back and covered up
the cows. When the storm subsidized
he went out with his team and sled
and hauled the half frozen animals in
to the barn but their sufferings had
been more than they could stand and
that evening the entire four head died
from exhaustion. This is consider
able loss for Mr.. Olson, being about
all the stock the man had.
Fred Sassa lost four head of cattle
in the big storm. Thorwald Larson
lost a horse, Chris Bull lost horse
and Olaf Larson's chicken house was
covered with snow and he lost few
fowls. South Prairie people Jared
comparatively we'll considering the
other communities farther south, in
the county.
Miss Germanson, teacher of the Lar
son school kept her little flock in the
school house all night Monday. Free
dom township school pupils were all
taken to the home of Dave Vannett
where they passed the night in COM
fort.
The Herman Wydell family consist
ing Of husband and wife and five chill
dren are all down with the flu. A
trained nurse is in attendance and at
last reports all are in a very serious
condition.

Billiards have no terrors for dyed
in-the-wool Democrats when the priv
lege of the franchise is at stake. Take
jim Bell, of Logan, for instance, that
sturdy old Scot, now in his SEVENTEEN
year. Jim was appointed election in
spector of his precinct and Tuesday
morning bright and early he set out
for Logan on foot, headed down the
500 with the ballot boxes, ballots and
other paraphernalia pertaining to MS
office. Reaching Logan betimes, ne
succeeded in digging enough voters
from their warrens to fill the cleo
ton board and start things going.
Twenty two votes were cast includ-
ing two women voters who braved the
elements to cast their ballots for the
candidates of their choice.

NONPAR7lSANS SELECT
ward COUNTY TICKET
County and Legislative Officers En-
dOrsed at Gathering Held in MinOt
Saturday.

In line with their program of enter
ing county politics throughout North
Dakota, nonpartisan delegates met in
Mnot last Friday and nominated q
set of candidates for the various coun-
ty and Legislative Offices, with few
exceptions, several of which will prob.
ably be filled later by committee ap.
pointed for that purpose.
As near as the Independent car
learn the following is list of the
candidates nominated:
County Treasurer-Alfred Mostad
Minot.
Sheriff Jake Miller, Ryder farmer
States Attorney--Moody 0. Eide.
County Auditor-Olaf Rib, Ken
mare.
Register of Deeds-N. j. Demaree
farmer, Des Laos.
1t is stated no candidate was select
ed for county judge. The name OF
VIM. Murray, the present incumbent,
was considered, but no final selection
was made Friday. The committee, it
is said, are considering Mr.. Murray's
name favorably and he is very apt to
be the choice.
No action was taken in the case OF
A. M. Waller, superintendent of
schools, tho if the committee does
make any selection for that office, Mr..
Waller will probably be the man.
John G. Lowe was endorsed as a
candidate for District Judge K. E.
Leightons place.
No action was taken for Coroner
or Public Administrator. DR.. r. w.
Pence is the county coroner at pres
ent and Carl B. Bach, the public adj
ministrator
1t was reported that the delegates
had endorsed the present incumbent,
Thos. N. Henderson, for Clerk of the
District Court, but the Independent is
informed that no endorsement has yet
been made.
Three of the candidates nominated
for the Legislature from the 29th dis
trict are Bert Solberg of Mckinley
twonship and John Reiner and M. D.
Graham of Burlington.
No action was taken concerning the
endorsement for candidate for the
senate, except that it was voted to
leave the selection to the Minot labor
committee. Thorwald Mostad, the
present incumbent, who was elected on
the democratic ticket four years ago,
will very likely be the selection. He
is brother of Alfred Mostad, who
was endorsed for county treasurer.
1t is understood that practically all
of the present incumbents for county
office will be candidates. Fred A.
Weatherwax, the treasurer, is serving
his second term, therefore cannot be
candidate again.
A. P. Scofeld, who is serving his
first term as sheriff, will be a candi-
date again and his friends declare
that he has made a good record and
say they will see that he is returned.
Martin J. Engeseth, the Register Of
Deeds, expects to be candidate, and
it is probable that the county auditor,
R. w. Kennard, will also be candi-
date. o. B. Herigstad, States Attor-
ney, A. M. Waller, County Superin-
tendent, VIM. Murray, Judge, and T..
N. Henderson, Clerk of Court, all ex-
pect to run.

was started at a meeting last week to

with his team to deliver the mail in
Mondays storm. He got as far as the

MR.. c K

The real Republicans of North Dakota will welcome most en-.
thusiastical as opponents in the June primaries the men nam
ed by the hand picked convention of about fifty men at Fargo on
Friday.
A list of the delegates has not been furnished, bat in read.
ing through a report of the proceedings in the league organ we
find that the men prominently mentioned as taxing the leadmg
part in the convention were:
S. S.McDonald, holding a state job.
Senator Liederbach, league organizer, who carries an old fash
toned carpet bag for political effect to insult the intelligence OF
the North Dakota farmers.
Senator J. l. Cahill|, defender Of the Red Flag.
C. P. Peterson, repudiated by the farmers of Towner coun-
ty for senator.
These represent the class of men who framed the "farmer-la-
bor' ticket, a ticket composed of men whose records alone
should earn their defeat.
Frazier, the rubber stamp governor, who takes his orders
from st. Paul.
Laid, for senator, who because he is intelligent enough to
know better has lost the confidence of the people for his sub
servience to Townley.
Cahill, the Grant county banker, who says the Red Flag is just
as good as the Stars and Stripes.
R. H. Walker of Yucca-well what's the use, everyone in this
section who knows Walker, the "hardworking" farmer are ach-
ing to elect him state treasurer.
Tom Pendray of jamestown for congress, the man who tried
to address a jamestown audience in apology for the free love
books in the state library.
VIM. Lemke, for attorney general. Well, there's a reason
for trying to put this sly, cunning league leader in Langers
place. It's been an annoyance to have to run out from Fargo
to direct the decisions of the supreme court, to keep a finger on
the acts of the governor and the rest of the state officers, and to
that the seat of government will be moved from St. Paul to the
attorney generals Office and the governor won't have to go so
far to find out what to do next.
1t was very thoughtful on the part of Townley to say that
the state could have Lemke for two years but they must prom

It is never safe to take a serious
man, too seriously Q a humorist too
lightly. Most of the serious dramas
of the hour are probably Of less con-
sequence than we sometimes in our
enthusiasm suppose, and the more
sprightly plays, ven the farces, are
often considerably greater.
"Her Husbands Wife" offers q case
in point. 1t is a farce and yet it
teaches a lesson long to be remem-
bered.s It is one of the c~leverest far
