The Bowbells tribune., 1920-02-20
Tho Tribune Is told that one night,
- - ,,rno L. f1nn Lilo cloi OH lnads Of


high grade whiskey were: hauled
through Bowbells on their way
from Canada to Minot. where it is
being retailed for between SIS and
$40 a quart. and the lovers Of this
kind. of drink in Bowbells are cuss-
ing themselves for not staying up
that night and getting next to the
fellows who had this precious car
go. The size of the loads are said
to be large enough TO quench the
thirst Of the Magic. City people for
some months, and it may be next
July or later before a like amount
of booze is hauled through Bow
bells. HI

ty land. Terms will be given To

The Columbus Reporter came to
The Tribune's exchange table last
week in a much more newsy, and
neater style than it has for some
years, and the new publishers,
Koeppen & Mahoney are entitled to
much credit for the amount of
work they put in in order to- make
a paper Of which town many times
the size of Flaxton might be
proud Instead of being sent out in
a five column six page size, it has
been increased to six column
eight page paper. and the Reporter
in it's present size and appearance IS
fully entitled to liberal patronage
on the part of the business men of
Columbus. -..-
Before it adjourned at its last
session the board Of county COM
missioners of Burke. County agreed
to ten per cent raise in salary for
will remain in the employ of the
county for another year at least:
This news will be welcomed by all
farmers and other residents of the
county who have watched the work
of the county agent since his en-
ployment, and saw the many >in-
stances where his salary was saved
several times over to the farmers.
In case the grasshoppers get as bad
next year as they were last year it
would be almost impossible to fight
them unless county agent or
som cone else is employed to super
wise the work. The gophers. have
decreased in number in Burke
county several hundred per cent
since County Agent Edwards : took
his office here. and if the good work
Is kept up they will be practically
extinct in a few years more.
At. the city election to be held |
here on March 16 three aldermen
ard one police magistrate will be
elected to take the places of three |
alderman, one in each ward, whose I
terms expire. There will also be |
one police magistrate to be elected.
In addition to these there will be |
the usual number of national COM |
presidential electors, and |
amendments and some |
state laws to be voted on. The !
aw requires that candidates for !
city offices file their petitions with |
the city auditor 20 days before the |
date of the election in order that |
their names appear, on the ballot.
This leaves. only a few days In
which to do this, and 1T is believed
that local politicians will get busy
before another week passes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. H. Carlson OF
Bowbells township are rejoicing over
