DR.. II. w. Pence New Member of
Association of Commerce Board

DR.. r. w. Pence was elected men,
ber Of the board of directors of the
Minot Association Of Commerce at
the weekly luncheon of the board
Tuesday, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Frank Muskovitch,
who found it impossible to attend the
meetings.
Carl w. Mason, secretary of the
Ward County Fair Association, at
tended the luncheon and asked for the
co operation of the Association in
putting over" our first fair. He was
assured that the board and other men,
bers would render any assistance pos
sible. Mr.. Mason suggested Booster
trip for two days early in September
and this proposition is to be put up to
the merchants of Minot, who will pro-
badly be interested in it.
An effort is being made to secure
reduced rates on both the Great
Northern and the 500 for those who
desire to come to the fair over the
railroads and as this is to be a great
agricultural fair, it is quite probable
that the railroads will grant these
rates.
Indications at present point to i'm
mense crowds during the fair. It is
expected that the stop day will see
fully $4,000 people at the fair. Mr.
Mason is anxious to give the people a
show even better than advertised
realizing that the success of the pro-
ject depends largely on the manner in
which the first fair is conducted. The
Independent feels certain that this is
going to be the greatest fair ever held
in Western North Dakota.

appeal n follows:

confidence and esteem OF his fellow
citizens This he hoped TO accomplish
by doing something which would make
him worthy Of 1t. lie had been think
ing Of the county. A railroad would
do more for It than anything else. but
railroad would be too costly. The
improvement OF the Sangnmon river
WAS the next best thing. He favored
usury law apd said. In view Of the
talk he had Just heard, he was going
to favef the improvement and build
ing OF schools, SO that every one could
learn how to read. at least. and learn
for himself what Is In the Bible and
other great books. 1t was a modest
statement and we all liked It,"
"Whatever happens TO Sangamon.
one statement in that platform
couldn't be improved" said kelso.
''What, Is that?" Abe asked.
Its the one that says you wish to
win the regard Of your fellows by
serving them"
Early In April an Indian scare
spread from the capital to the remot-
est corners of the state. Black Hawk,
with many warriors. had crossed the
Mississippi and was moving toward
the Rock River country. Governor

check the invasion.
