Grand Forks Herald: The first copies
Of the new codes delivered in Grand
Forks were received yesterday by Burke
Corbet and Charles Fisk, members of
the commission. The book is certainly
a handsome one, and is printed on fine
paper. Although it contains 1741 pages
the book is not large, and is easily
handled. The Bismarck Tribune com
pany did the work and it is certainly
creditable.
John Mansfield has a position as
bookkeeper with John P. Hoagland,
Dick Penwarden having resigned.
Settlers are proving up on lands in
the Bismarck district, as is shown from
the fact that twenty final homestead
proofs have been made at the land office
here this week.

vey the well-known Burnt Creek farmer,

give to the Masons and their ladies on
Friday of next week, a social at Masonic
Hall. The floral work of the order will
be presented during the evening. This
is the first of a series of social events
which the different Masonic bodies will
give during the winter. r..
The entertainment which will be given
next week for the benefit of the St.
Alexis hospital should be literally pat
ronized. The institution is one of which
Bismarck has reason to be proud, and is
by far the best in the state. A large
amount of charity is dispensed by the
institution, and it has proven a haven
of refuge to the sick since it's opening.
The expenses of operation are consider
able, and in no way can Bismarck prove
it's appreciation of the hospital than by
turning out literally to this proposed en-
tertainment for it's benefit. The cause
is Il worthy one, and the institution
should be aided in every way possible.

year. Rev. A. Durrie opened and
closed the meeting with prayer, and full
conservation for the ensuing year, and
a prayerful consistency was invoked.
