Kiwanis Club Will Erect WOmen's
Rest Room on Fair Grounds

A notable example Of the keen and
substantial interest being taken in
the new Ward County Fair a.a tne
practical kind of cooperation that eX-
lists in this part of the state is fur
nished by the action of the Liwanis
Club of Minot to erect building on
the fair grounds which will be the
permanent kiwanis building and
which will be utilized as women's
and young childrens rest room. Such
a building is very important feature
of any large gathering such rs the
fair and the action of the club is a
that is being launched this year.
President c. N. Cox of the clu5, las
appointed a committee composed Of
Ira L. Rush, DR.. C. X. Allen and Carl
Utter as committee to go ahead with
the building. The directors of the
club met Saturday evening and gave
further impetus to the plans. 1t was
decided to erect a handsome structure
with an exterior to match the archi-
lecture of the other buildings on the
fair grounds which are to be finished
in stucco and have red roofs. Ar
rangements for the building are al
ready under way.
The Kiwanian motto is eve Build"
and the Minot club intends to make
the motto something more than mere
words. The new enterprise follows
that Of fostering the detention hos
pital in Minot which was Kiwanis
enterprise and which is now per-
manent and valued institution in this
city and county. The rest building
at the fairgrounds will be another
permanent institution and will be
means of relief to many tired women,
especially mothers with babies and
small children.
Members of the Rotary club are also
discussing project to erect Rotary
building on the fair grounds. The
matter has not yet reached the stage
of official action but is being dis
cussed with increasing enthusiasm by
various members and it is expected
it will formally come before the club
soon. President E. A. Shirley says
there is a strong sentiment apparent
in favor Of the project. What kind
of building would be erected has not |
yet been decided. One suggestion is
that the club, in line with it's policy
of aiding boys work, erect boys
work headquarters. Another is that |
an artistic administration building be !
built at the main entrance. No de-
cision has been made, however, and
other suggestions are sought.

Minot 10, Anamoose O.

The Booster game between Minot
and Anamoose played on the local dia.
mond Tuesday evening, proved an
easy victory for the Minot team, the
score being 10 to 0.
Anamoose had a chance to score
but once or twice. In the third inning,
Anamoose had all bases full with but
one man out, but Maverick, local
pitcher, played the game and saved
the opponents from scoring.
Cline, Minot's fast third baseman,
made remarkable record. He went
to bat five times and made five hits,
including two singles, one double, a
triple and a home run.
Schmidt, the Estavan player secur-
ed by Minot, made home run in the
4th.
Harstad, Minot's shortstop, did
some very fair work. He is now en-
ployed in the office of the clerk Of the
district court and will play with the
local team the remainder of the
season. Anamoose wore out three
pitchers. ..

MASKED BANDITS HOLD UP EDI.
'' TORS FROM 27 STATES


Miles City, Mont, July 14.-Edi-
tors from 27 states thrilled through
an afternoon of wild western life
| from Medora, N. D., to Miles City,
| Mont.
The excitement rose to high pitch
on the outskirts of Miles City when
masked bandits held up the Northern
Pacific special train and at the point
OF guns forced poor newspapermen
without regard to age or beauty, to
stand and deliver the meager savings
of lives of toll. These savings were
redeemed, however, by presenting as
hostages w. H. Wheeler, of Yer
gennes, VT; Dora Wheeler, of Yer
gennes, Vermont; Dora Adriance, of
Seneca, Kansas, and G. l.. Caswell, of
Ames, Iowa. After a special adven-
ture with kidnappers these unhappy
journalists at length escaped after a
thrilling ride across the plains.
And then came the Cheyenne In.
dians with their fantastic costumes,
war paint and peaceful dances. The
Miles City boys staged miniature
roundup for the visitors which was
crowded with thrills and excitement,
some OF the vests most accomplished
riders taking part in the bucking con-
tests.
Glendive broke the tension of west
tern excitement by passing out sweet
pea boutonniere to the gentlemen and
moss agates to the ladies'. The Glen
dive boys band of 40 pieces serenaded
the journalists.
Nearly full day of entertainment
was arranged at Billings.

WARNING ISSUED
TO COUNTY BOYS
ROckland Lads Tell Story of MAsre-
presentation by Railroad Company
In Effort to Employ Them as Strike
breakers-Left Coed Jobs.

Four Rockland boys left good jobs
on farms last week to enter the em-
ploy of the Oregon Short Line Rail-
road at Glenns Ferry, only to find that
working conditions and pay had been
grossly misrepresented to them, ac-
cording to the boys, who returned
Thursday from the above mentioned
place on railroad passes. The boys
are Clarence and George Peck, Archie
Robinson and Oscar Anderson.
In signed affidavits left with the
Press, the boys state that Lee Hill, re-
presenting himself to be an engineer,
approached the boys at Rockland,
Wednesday from an automobile and
told them of the wonderful opportuni-
ties for high wages and advancement
with the railroad company He ex-
planned to them that the least they
could earn, clear of all expenses would
be S120 month. This sounded good
to the boys who were also told that
they would have free board and room
and that they were not to be employed
as strike breakers.
When the boys arrived at Glenn's
Ferry they found that Lees promises
were mostly hocum according to the
boys story. Instead of receiving free
board they were asked to sign a con-
tract requiring that they pay 35c a
meal for food and receive approxi-
mately $4.78 day instead of the five
to seven dollars day promised. They
were promised jobs as machinists
and were laughed at when they arriv-
ed before the foreman for the shops.
The boys demanded a return pass
to American Falls and after lengthy
arguments were provided with them.
Their action in refusing to work
greatly pleased the shop craft men on
strike, according to the boys, who
stated that the striking union men had
promised to provide fares for the boys
return to American Falls in case the
Railroad Company refused to give
them passes.
Its a good lesson for us and as il
happened an inexpensive one" said
one OF the boys. They wish it an
noounced that all Power County boys
who receive offers from the Railroad
Company, should be more careful than
they.
