far as business is concerned.
Arrangements have been made
with the Crookston Lumber company
whereby that organization has agreed
to hold "pay-day'' Friday instead of
Saturday. On account Of the near
ness to the close of the saving seas

C. 0. P. Majority To Be Only
Eight or Ten; Overturn
Is A Big Surprise
(By United Press)
(Bv Lakrence Martin)


Washington, Nov. 9-Rcpublicans
continued to cling to control of the
next congress by slender thread
as the slow progress of counting Of
returns from Tuesdays election was
continued.
Available figures today show that
the house stood, republicans, 220;
democrats, 210, socialist, 1; lnde-
pendents l; with three scattered dis
tr;cts not heard from.
These figures were expected to be
revised somewhat later as they con-
ccded to the republicans some dis
tricts still listed by the Democrats
as doubtful in the senate. The re-
publican majority will be 8 or 10,
depending on the results of two close
contests. In Utah, Senator King was
not yet certain of his reelection,
though he was leading in early morn
ing returns by more than 100.
North Dakota returns were ncom-
nlete because of bad weather and the
consequent delay in getting the count
from the rural districts. Therefore,
it is uncertain whether J. f. T. O.
Connor, democrat, or Lynn J. rraz-
ier, republican, had won.
Overnight returns seem to make
certain the defeat Of two republican,
stalwarts.
In the west, Senator Miles Poin-
de exter, Washington, was defeated
by C. C. Dill, his democratic adver
sary, and Senator Frank B. Kellogg,

Judge of Probate S. M. Koefod,
who was appointed to that office by
Governor Preus after the death of
Judge J. F. Harris, is the successful
candidate for reelection. He was
opposed by O. M. Skinvik, who gave
him an interesting contest in sec
tions of the south end of the county.
Koefod, however, carried the north
end of the county very strongly, his
former home being in that section.

trami-Koochiching district, Harry
Bridgeman, 3462, and F. J. MOZART

ching county indicate that Bridgeman

and show that. the Bemidji candidate
is elected without a doubt.

from the 62nd district; William T.
Noonan, 1921, Opsahl 1876, giving
Noonan the Office by a large major
ity.

st. Paul, Nov. 9-The most start
ling thing about the'G: o. P's turn
over in this section is the fact that
tie Nonpartisan League struck the
most vital points. Two United States
senatorial and three congressional
seats have been taken from the Re-
publican party.
In Minnesota, Nonpartisans and
Others aligned against the Republi-
can administration will control ma
jority of the senate.
The lower house may see many
storms, the league holding about 40
seats. A gain Of ID seats is appar-
cnt on returns now available. The
republicans will have about 80 seats.
In North Dakota, legislation may
be changed to Nonpartisan control
again, although balloting was slow
and no definite lineup was obtain
able early today.
In South Dakota the League is be-
lievcd to have gained several legis-
lative seats.
Governor Prcus in Minnesota held
only slight margin of $4,000 votes
over his nonpartisan opponent, Mag
nus Johnson, early today, and there
was {; possibility that the 1000 pre-
cincts still outstanding would cut his
majority considerably. The COVER
nor however, WIS NOT worried and
claimed the election.
The Nonpartisan League might
have been expected to gain some
minor Offices. Prediction forecast
allowed for that, but the league, rid
ing on a wave of anti-administra-
tion sentiment that followed demo-
cratic line-ups in the east and else
where, oustcd the big guns of repub-
licanism here. The first Indication
of revolt came last June when Porter
J. McCumber, for Is years leader
of the G. O. P. in Washington, was
defeated by Lynn j. Frazier, Nonpar-
tisan, for the senatorial nomination
in North Dakota.
Frazier is now certain of victory
over J. F. T. O'Connor, democrat,
although figures early today show
tie later leading by about 1000.

County Attorney Graham M. Tor

crs of Beltrami county to again fill
that office, according to the returns
already reported. There seems little
doubt of his election, according to
present returns. He was opposed by
C. NJ. Ascham, also of Bemidji, who
gave him a very close contest in
some districts. Torrance has ably
held this office for several terms.

 Of course, with the present French vogue for sequins. with the fans and accessories made all of sequins, one might have expected it. but one didn't. It burst on my view in all it's glory with startling unexpected ness.
 It is severely plain as befits it's material high in the neck and sleeveless, after the present mode, and is unrelieved in color save for the small amethyst beads at neck, armholes and hem.
 Repeating the note of amethyst, the very low three strand ribbon girdle is of grosgrain ribbon in the same shade, and is caught on the hip with a spra: of pink and blue and amethyst flowers.

 With it one should wear a simple. dark cloak, seal, lined with ermine, perhaps, and only the most conserva- tive acces-ories. black satin slippers and black silk stockings, no brocade or lace. and as little jewelry as pos sible. Perhaps a matching bandeau or a dark Spanish comb.

The prize winners were, for the ladies, Mrs. Albin flag lund, first prize: Mrs. August Olson, second prize, and Miss Katherine Me Cormick, consolation. For the men, Jeff Anderson took first; Gordon Gray got second, and Art Nelson won the consolation.
 A jitney dance then followed the cards as soon as the floor could be cleared and until after l o'clock in the morning the floor was crowded with dancers most of the time. An orchestra composed of Miss Brown on the piano; Mr. Larson, violin i; Carl Erickson, saxophone, and Glenn Oakes on the drums and traps fur nished the music for the dance. Their services were given gratis for the oc casion and were greatly appreciated by the association. Something over $17 was netted by the dance.

 What happens when the mines shut down?" MT. Hill asks. 'The entire population is idle" he an swers.
 We will attempt to give out in- formation to business enterprises and cities so that the industries may be diversified through the an- alyzing of conditions that exist or give prospect of existing at some future time" he said.
