WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE A FAIR GROUND

The County Commissioners are get
ting busy and have appointed Com
mittee of three of the County Com
missioners to take the County Survey
or and 60 over the three proposed
sites, for the purpose Of .inding out
what each site will cost for buildings,
a race track and to put up the neces-
sary buildings and for the building
of roads to each site.
The west site while the ground lays
fairly good there is no trees on it
neither does the river touch it, and
there is no roads running direct to it
there will only be one way to get to
this site and that is over the G.. N.
viaduct and if they make any other
roads to this site they will have to
follow the "TR" trail out west of
Minot then build an under way cross
ing under the G. N. tracks then they
will have to build al300 foot bridge
across Mouse river and also 9. .cEnas-
ing over the 500 tracks, in OrdefsItO
have any shade at all near this site
there will have to be another bridge
HVilt across Mouse river so the people
SSsn get over into Oak Park. "a
y Both sites east of town are nearer
in than the west site, the closest one
east of town is just quarter OF a
mile east of Riverside Park and we
think this is nice piece of land for
fair ground and there can be plenty
] Of trees had on this site for any one,'
there is being dam, built below
Minot and when that. is completed they
can run motor boats right by ethis
land and people can. go 20 and from
the city '6tl The boats and get off right
on the land''a as the river touches this
land, this site is also right on the
"TR" trail and we think. this will
be a big advertising for our fair as
every one touring through the country
will 90 on this trail, it is only short
distance to have track put in from
the G. N. r. r. any time they want
stub run in on the fair ground, we
farmers believe more in a place for
our Exhibit to show our Produce and
Livestock than We do in just place
for race track, there is good roads
already to this site and they can go
to and from this site without meeting
cars as they can 60 on one road and
back on another as both roads are
very good.
We notice that the Bottineau and
MOuntrall county fairs were very wen
attended this year and farmers come
for many miles and all seemed to be
we'll satisfied with the Exhibits and
| Stock shown there, and if these coun-
ties can have good fairs we are sure
that we can have a real fair at Minot
as we have much larger county to
draw from.
We also think that it should be con-
sidered about getting the right sites
through the fact if it is close in SO a
lot of people can walk out or at least
get there very cheaply this will surely
make the gate receipts much larger
and that is what we must have to keep
up the fair is good gate receipts and
close in should be quite an object
and should be considered when they
pick a site.
A few dollars an acre should not
make so much difference if they get
a fair ground well located and just
what they want as they will never buy
but one fair ground and it will be
Used for all time to come.

PARKER DAIRY SALE SEPT. 8
Local Hotel Man Decides to Sell Fine
Herd of Jerseys and Other
Stock.

The H. C. Parker auction sale at
the Parker farm east of the city on
Thursday, September 8, promises to
be one of the most attractive sales
from the viewpoint Of the stockmen
ever held in this district. The Parker
herd of Jersey cattle have long been
known as the finest lot of dairy cows
in the porthwest, the proprietor, Clar-
ence H. Parker, having spared no ex-
pense in the development of a milk
ing strain that is wonder to all who
are interested in the Jersy strain. In
addition to the Jersey cows there are
three Jersey bulls, the herd bull, sir
ed by Salvador out Of Selma one of the
finest dams ever imported into the
United States. Besides the cattle Of
fered there will be-. sold rs head Of
Duroc- Jersey. pigs, the major part OF
the herd consisting Of spring 3 pigs.
These are. out :of the herd boar which
was purchased from Portal breeder,
his sire costing the Canadian breeder
the tidy sum Of $3,4OO. A large quan-
tity of farming machinery, including
q. silage machine, will also be sold and
some few items Of household furni-
ture.
Mr.. Parker, who is proprietor of
the Leland Parker hotel, has leased
his ranch to J., E. Ellsberry Of Town !;
er, former Minot dairyman.t, on ac:
count, of his inability to secure q, sup
erintendent who would carry put his
policies with reference to the conduct
iof the farm Mr.. Parker decided to
give up his farm for few years. Mr..
Ellsberry is one of the best known
dairymen in the state and is famed as
breeder Of fine Holsteins. His herd
at the present time consists of Is ami
mails. These will all be brought to the
Parker farm and the place conducted
on a still more extensive scale than
ever. Mr.. Parker was indeed fortu-
nate to secure lessee Of Mr.. Ellis
berry's calibre and Minot will welcome
the return of the Ellsberrys to this
community, again.
The Independent advises it's readers
to remember the date and make it a
point to attend this auction as it will
surely be memorable from the high
class stock offered for sale there.

Potato DigRers BY the Carload

The Farmers Implement & Supply
Co. received a shipment Of 80 potato
digging machines one day this week.
Another shipment is expected soon.
This firm has also disposed Of several
corn binders so far this season. Twen-
ty years ago such machinery would
have had few purchasers but with the
advance in farming methods and the
rotation of crops now practised by our
farmers to say nothing of any number
of farms using binders to harvest
their fields Of corn they are indispen-
sible.

People Demand a Cleanup

Ihe Bank OF North Dakota is one
of the best agencies in the state for
the success of the recall campaign.
The funds which have been tied up
from time to time and the hundreds
of checks which have been registered
during the past few months all carry
their special convincing message to
people of sound judgement and great
influence in the various districts.
"Also, it becomes palmer to the
voters every day that general clean
up of administrative affairs in Bis
marck is necessary for the rehabili-
'tation of the state and the restoration
of credit and confidence. The In
dependent army is on a victorious
march, and I don't think my friend

from a fortnight's outing at Albert
Lea and Wadena, Mimi, Friday. In
discussing their trip Ed says the Min
nesota lakes are swarming with fish
and fishermen this season. This in

were astounded to learn from his own
lips that Ed, who is reputed one of
the greatest fishermen in the west,
did not eaten a single, fish. We con-
slider this Acknowledgement On his
part one that firmly fixes Eds status
as a truthful man. Enroute thru
Grand Forks M. Shirley had occasion
to purchase few necessaries, he went
into department store and in buying
six items in the grocery line he was
waited upon by four clerks. Ed has
concluded to stick to his present sys-
