would be worth millions. Mr.. Dun

septic tank to be built here and will
spend the larger part of the sum-
mer in this city. The next meeting

ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.

The May Day dance given by the
Legion at the Auditorium Friday
evening was a very successful affair
and attended by a large crowd of
pleased dancers. Knutson's Orches-

large May pole had been erected in
the center of the hall and colored
streamers radiated from the center
to the floor forming a tent under
which the orchestra was seated.

CANDIDATES

EIGHT NAMES ON LIST FOR
REPRESENTATIVE IN THIS
DISTRICT.

Wednesday was the last day for
fling for the primary election In
June for all officers with the ex-
ception of county Offices for which
filings close on May 81. From the
appearance of the list, there should
be no difficulty in selecting a ticket
TO suit the most fastidious as all
classes and creeds are represented.
In fact, there are several dozen on
the list who have never been heard
from before in the history Of the
state. After the primaries they
probably will again revert to obscur-
ity. From now until June they
probably win glory in their import
ance.
The filings for Representative in
the Legislature Of this district are a
surprise TO many. There seems to
be no dearth of those wishing TO
make laws for the people. The
Vermilion range has only one candi-
date on the list and it behooves Us
up here to keep busy and see that
our man gets the nomination and
election. In the list as published
IN the News-Tribune, the name Of
Ida Torseth was given from Ely.
This is mistake. The only eandi-
date from the Vermilion range is A.
]. Thomas.

which we are directly interested:
