In the grocery line there are estab-
lishments which would do credit to st.
Paul or Minneapolis so far as stock
and amount of trade is con-
cerned. For instance: There IS
the Eighth street grocery, one

Fargo admits of 10 superior. The im-
mense number of transient people who
arrive and depart from this city can be
better estimated by the arrivals and de-
partures from hotels than in any other
manner. Of the first-class hotels the
Columbia and Headquarters stand at
the head. The Columbia is new
structure, made as near fire-proof as
possible, with every modern improve
ment known in hotel business. It
is expected that the capacity of
this hotel will necessitate the doubling
Of the space, which the proprietors
are prepared to do whenever necessity
requires it. At present it is constantly
full, and the probability is that before
another year goes by the capacity will be
doubled. The Headquarters" : well
known throughout the Northwest, is To-
Gated at the depot Of the Northern Pa
ciic railway, and one of the most con-
venient hotels for strangers coming in

ties. The Reynolds hotel is another of
those homelike places where rest, quiet
and the best table luxuries con be found.
