out-generaled and out-slogged by the

round Johnson, hit Jeffries such a
hard blow intheleft eye that he was

DEVIL8 LAKE, NORTH DAKOTA, JULY 8, 1910.
DOHENY
VS. MEAN
ALL INTERE8T IN COUNTY WlLt
CENTER. ON RACE FOR 8HER
IFF. ...
With the returns from the primaries
giving places on the republican, and
democratic tic&ets to McLean and
Doheny, respectively, many are the
conjectures as to the outcome OdsfttHj
heard on all sides by the InterOeean
scribe.
Unquestionably the hottest fight
the fall will center on these two men!
McLean made a splendid
Bhowing in
the primaries carrying city and county
by large majorities, while Doheny was
easily the winner over Brady. i:
At present the outlook is all in
favor of McLean with Doheny*s
chances growing less each day as the
republicans of the county show a dis
position to unite solidly for both coun.
ty and state ticket^ McLean has a
big personal following in the city and
will be at least as strong in the county
as he was In the primaries, making Mb
success practically certain.
However, Doheny*s friends claim it
is anybody's fight at present and say
they will fight to the last ditch for
their candidate. Everything points to
the warmest campaign seen In Ramsey
for years.
JULY lOURTH
DEVILS LAKE PEOPLE SCATTERED
CONSIDERABLY ON MONDAY
FOR CELEBRATION.
The people of Devils Lake scattered
considerably for the observance o&tbe
national holiday July 4th. There was
no celebration of any kind: in the:eiiyi
aad^tJtaess^
ed inthe afternoon,'and to'many cases
all day.
AT CHAUTAUQUA.
The larger part of our people went
to Chautauqua for the Fourth, where
there was diversity in the manner of
^feilebraiting. There wa0 the usual
music and speaking for the day which
drew those who were inclined in these
directions, wMle others enjoyed. the
many shady cool nooks to be found In
the Chautauqua woods, or rode upon
or bathed In the waters of the beauti
ful lake. A large crowd was present
at the ball game in the afternoon, at
which time York and DevilB Lake
crossed bats resulting in a score of
7 to 4 in favor of York. In the even
ing The O'Callaghans presented "The
Settlement" to a large crowd and this
was followed by a fine display of fire
works.
AT GRAND HARBOR.
There was a large number of our
people went to Grand Harbor the
Fourth, and those who went speak in
the highest terms of the manner in
which they were entertained. Grand
Harbor has built up quite a reputation
in the celebration line and this was
thei climax of their success in this re
gard. The Grand Harbor band played
during the day, there was -a regular
old fasSMoned celebration, good speak
ing, two ball games between Grand
Harbor and Brlnsmade in which Grand
Harbor was victorious in both. The
first one resulted In a score of 11 to
IS and the second one of 6 to 7. There
were racing events Of all kinds mak
ing the day replete with some interest
ing event all the time. In the even
ing there was a largely"
attended dance
and fireworks.: The celebration left
nothing wantlng in the proper observ
ance of the national day.- Rah for
Grand Harbor.
AT JERUSALEM.
There were some of otir people who
spent the day at Jerusalem, the beautl
fut grove on the banks of Devils Lake
at the east- end. This vras more in
the nature of a j^cnfav but some good
speaking, races, eto,, made It Interest
ing for those-who. were present.
AT CONNOR'S GROVE.
Oapt Connor's Grove about eighteen
mileB northwest of Devils Lake was
the-scene of a moBt enjoyable Fourth
of July picnic which was given under
the auspices of St Peter and Paul's
church Monday. Hon. F. J. Traynor
of this city
and Ed.
There
Traynor of Stark­
weather were the principal
speakers
were fine plcnlo dinners and
supper served, and a most enjoyable
time was enjoyed by several hundred
people from Devils Lake, Starkweath
er and other neighboring towns and
country. One thing that was excep
tionally gratifying to those in attend
ance at this picnic was the customary
Fourth of July rain. This picnic was
visited by a soaker and every one en
joyed it to Its fullest.
THE SCATTERING.
There were many who went to the
many beautiful groves in this vicinity
and spent the day quietly picnicking
and enjoying nature to the utmost,
some wen to Fish Lake and put in the
day fishing at this pretty summer re
sort in the Turtle mountains, others
were at Wood Lake where a large
number spent the Fourth trying to
capture the wily pickerel, others visit
ed the Indian camp near Ft Totten,
while a number of people were at
Freshwater Lake near the same place.
The weather was ideal, while being
nice and bright there was a strong
wind that cooled the atmosphere and
made the weather very enjoyable.
There was a very scarce showing of
accidents, which speaks well for the
saner Fourth that seems to be gaining
in popularity every year.

CROP

The rains of the past few days haw
had a tendency towards raising th9
hope of the farmers in thia vicinity.
There has been much damage by th&
hot dry weather and the crops had
been about given up as a total failure
but the rains that have visited us la
practically every direction have dona
much toward pushing the late grain
along and may tend to help all crop*
if it is followed with more rain, as
what we have had was n,ot sufficient,
to soak the ground very deep.
There is fair prospect for a fltts
crop with more rain, hay would b»
greatly benefitted at the same time,
and oats and barley would make a
fair crop and wheat would be helped
according to the advance It had made
previous to the drouth.
From what we have been able
learn the crops to the north are In
