Work Upon the Track, Well
and Fence Going On.
The scene ut the fair ground is rapid
ly changing. Last week there was but
little sign Of progress, but Monday
morning found q force of men digging
post holes, another force digging we'll
and still another grading the track, while
on Capt. Palmer's wood farm tho wood
mans axe fell slow but sure upon the
trunks 6fancient and time-gnarled oaks.
John Brown-not of Pottowattamie, but
our own John-was among the trees
making the posts upon which Pattee &
Hetlin are now mailing the stringcrs and
boards which are to make the fence so
tight and high that not one of our 5000
visitors will attempt to scale it, but all
will waltz mp to the gate and pay their
good money to get inside and see the
finest lot of cattle ever exhibited and
the fastest horses ever srccded in North
Dakota
From Pembina to LaMoure, from Du-
luth to the Missouri river, comes the cry,
1--WE will be there The fever has also
reached Winnipeg and Minneapolis,
and the opportunity to attend the great
show, and see the great Devils Lake,
and basl in the vigorous Dakota sun
shine, softencd and cooled by the per-
fumed breezes of our salt sea, will be
embraced by hundreds of people who
never came this way before. Telegrams
for hotel accommodations are being re-
ceivcd and stable room being engaged.
The crowd is coming and no mistake
