terday President Ernie Kent, Of the
North Dakota Press association, spoke
in behalf of the North Dakota Press
association after which Alderman Rob.
erts spoke briefly as to the celebration
of the great fire of '93 and Of the up
building of the city. He said that we
dc not celebrate the destruction of the
city and our property, but rathe: it's
Phoenix-like rise from the ashes of
the conf1agration, to become a city
modern in almost every detail. He
said the great fire was the cause Of
the effect and invited the press boys
and their friends to come to Fargo
June 5, 6 and and see in what man
ner the upbuilding will be celebrated.
Mr.. Anheier followed and said that the
fire festival is the greatest show on
earth and that it was the intention Of
the committee to put OH a good, clean
and substantial show, give everybody
actual value for every cent expended
and see that none go away dissatisfied.
If any of the boys wanted their money
back after seeing the show they were
to report to him. AS to the attrac-
ticns secured he called upon Mr.. Jewell
to back him up in the statement that
they are the best ever. Mr.. Jewell
said they were. but called attention to
the fact that the firemens tournament
would be held in Dickinson the week
following the festival in Fargo and
that it would not be a side show but
continuation of the big one. He
wanted it understood that Dickinson
is on the map and that it is next to
the city Of Fargo as "the biggest little
city on earth" He wanted the press
boys to remember Dickinson when they
write up the fire festival at Fargo.
