Grand Forks. Aug. M. H. Jewell,
secretary of the republican state cen.
tral committee. arrived here from Bis
marck yesterday and will make his
headq quarters in this clty until after the
fall campaign is closed. a meeting
of the executive committee WILDE held.
this afternoon at $50 at which time
the outline Of the campaign will be de-
cided upon. It is und derstood that the.
campaign will not open in earnest till.
thirty days before the election, but
that during these thirty days things
will be kept decidedly hot. sEhe re-
publican head quarters in the Hotel Da-
cota;h are already showing signs Of ac-
tivity and the constant click of the
typewriter is evidence that the work
Of the preliminary campaign is being
done and that when the campaign
opens in earnest eyeryt thing will be in
shape. The Organization for the fight
is being completed all over the state
and none of the points are being over
looked. II II sS
Speaking of Bismarck Mr.. Jewell
stated that the politicians who have
been in the habit of assembling at Bis
marck during the biennial sessions for
the state legislature will scarcely re-
cognize The capital, as the improve
ments that have been made or are at
the present time being made will COM
.pletely change the appearance Of the
city. The old Sheridan house, in
which so many politicians have been
made and unmade has been moved
across the street to make room for the
new N, p. depot which Is in course Of
construction and which will be the fin-
est depot in the state of North Dakota.
The architecture Of the depot is of the
Spanish Mission style. The walls are
of concrete with terra GOTTA trimmings
and the roofing Will be Of tile The
inside walls will be highly polished,
presenting an elegant appearance and
the outside will resemble unfinished, or
unpublished marble. The Hotel Sher-
idan will have entirely lost its identity.
When it was moved to its new location
the outside walls were torn down and
nothing left but the framework Of the
structure, even the floors being torn
up. The walls will be rebuilt OF brick
and the entire interior of the building
changed to such an extent that it will
not be recognized by those who have
been familiar with its interior for the
past year. Even its name will be
changed, "The Sheridan giving place
to the Northwest a full-sized
basement will be put in, which will be
occupied by various innocent amuse-
ments for the entertainment OF the
crowd that is always present at the
sessions Of the legislature. The re-
cent impr proyements, says Mr.. Jewell,
have removed many of the old land
marks Of the city, and it will scarcely
be recognized by any of the old poli-
ticians. }
Secretary Jewell says that the stock
men around Bismarck are all feeling
greatly encouraged over the outlook,
the stock was never in better shape
than at the present time, the grass
having been strictly first class since
the recent rains. The hay famine
which was threatened earlier in the
seasons is now beyond the possibilities,
as the stockmen have already put up
hay enough to tide them over, and
from the present outlook as a result Of
the heavy rainfall OF late second hay
crop can be cut which win give the
jstockmen of that section an abundance
fof hay for the winter months. The
good prices that prevail for beet is also
another cause for reioicing Oh the
slope and times there win not be
affected at All BY the ight crops in the
wheat section Of the state.
