drive to Santa Monica and up thru
the Topanga Canyon. You have ull-
doubtedly made these drives yourself
so can appreciate the pleasure and the

and salty breezes to the stiffness OF
the mountain tops. At the beach
Jack, my boy, donned his bathing suit
and enjoyed the favorite pastime of
feet wet by the incoming waves.
Bear Lake in the San Bernardino
, Mountains about 80 miles from here.
', The lake affords good bathing and
! trout fishing. People who have been
, there say it is an ideal spot for va
| cation. 1t is considered quite popu-
lar summer resort.
This city has increased it's enroll
ment in the public schools more than
| 10000 during the past three years.
The 9Th of this month the District
! voted seventeen and a half million
dollars for additional land and school
! buildings. The vote on the school
! bonds was fifteen to one in favor Of
the issue. 1t has been a monumental
| task for the Board of Education and
the Superintendent to take care Of
| this tremendous increase.
| Your new city administration has
I been in power about a year. pre-
! sumo under it's guidance the city has
| made marked improvements. There
must have been quite an exodus from
the city of all law violators upon the
| clamping down of the lid The down
town city blocks I suppose have all
been renovated and the undesirables
requested to move on to other pas
lures where the law is winked at and
not enforced as at Minot, and where
the vigiIantes are not so vigilant in
| it's enforcement.
L. D. McGahon is editing and pub
! fishing a newspaper called Com
munity Topics" at Manchester 86 and
J South Vermont Avenue, this city, and
is busy night and day getting out his
! paper and looking after his job work.
| His place Of business is located directly
across the street from the Due, Chris
tianson and Moore Bank. That part
of town is getting to be regular MI.
not Center. 1t is the coming part OF
the city for residential and local bust
ness purposes. 1T would be good
point for you to start grocery store.
You would have a bunch of Minot GUS
toners from the opening day.
DR.. Newlove is engaged in the gen.
eral practise of medicine and DR..
Trainor formerly of Minot and Willis
ton, is engaged as an eye, ear, nose
and throat specialist. They have Of
| fees down town and are doing very
well.
l.. J. Smith, the contractor, is busy
all the time with his building opera
tons. He has constructed new
| home for himself in the Minot dis
| trict. His health seems to be very
| good
AL. Rush is also engaged in the
! building business and enjoys his work
and the country so we'll he is going to
stay here for the balance Of his
career.
Charley Moore has a large beauti-
full new home completed according to
his own plans and ideas after adopt
| ing of course the suggestions OF Mrs.
Moore and the girls. They held a
house warming recently and all the
Minot crowd was there and we had
one grand time. We danced the circle
two step, the old fashioned square
dances and the Virginia reel until
two A. M. and then some. Ed. Chris
| Hanson danced every dance and the
encores and then we had to sandwich
in a couple of extras for his special
benefit. He is the terpsichorean
artist Of the bunch with Ray, Kane
playing second position. Charley, by
the way, is some dancer but being the
host could not qualify.
Harry Ellis is the secretary of the
| Alhambra Chamber of Commerce. He
and his family have lived here about
intendent, is living at Glendale and is
| engaged in the real estate business.
Harry H. Kemper is living on a
ranch near San Bernardino and is
married. He says he is happy and likes
| this state.
l hope you fellows will all get be-
hind Senator McCumber and put him
over in the primaries. It would be
folly for North Dakota to defeat Nc
Cunber. John Ehr says: "Never
change horses in the middle of the
river" and l believe that saying is
applicable in this case.
BY change North Dakota would
lose all the prestige that has been
gained during the past twenty-three
years of hard experience. McCum-
ber's position in the Senate is an as
set to North Dakota that it cannot
afford to lose at this time. So do
things up the big way by re-electing
McCumber for the Senate and Nestos
for Governor. 49,. .r
