The first thing about the building
to catch the public eye is the striking
and artistic front finished in blue
enameled brick. This perpetuates to
the clothing emporium one of its most
familiar characteristics, that of the
blue front" The first view of the
building is bound to hold the atten-
ton, and a further inspection within
and without is not disappointing.
The building is three stories in
height and covers lot 40 by $50 feet

struction is native brick excepting in

The legislature made an appropriation

The legislature made an appropriation
of $4,000 for an exhibit of North Dakota
products at the st. Louis worlds fair and
even with this sum at their disposal it
now transpires that this state will have
no building at the fair, the powers that
be considering it worthless expense.
1t is generally understood that while
$4,000 has been appropriated for the
states exhibit. an effort will be made to
keep the expense within $4,000. which
ought to be easy if a state building is
dispensed with. If the agricultural
states who have no state buildings are
to cut any figure that will be of any
great benefit to them they will have to
devote considerable gray matter to the
problem. To a man up tree it looks
as though the farmer was getting the
worst of it. North Dakota will be rep

SINCE the incident of last Friday even
ine's fire. when the Masonic Temple was
only saved from total destruction at the
expense of emptying the thousand
barrel water cistern at the fire hall. the
DEMOCRAT would urge once again that
an early consideration be given the ques-
ton of the city ensuring an ineXhaustlble
water supply by the means of an artesian
we'll. Fortunately on Friday night the
fire department was able to refill it's
cistern with water pumped from the
railroad ditch, but had the incident oc-
CURED month later this supply would
not have been obtainable and the safety
of the city would have been in very in
secure condition during the slow process
of retilling the tank with the windmill
tank. Our present means of obtaining
water supply is entirely inadequate
with the city's; needs for fire protection
| T.angl}on needs an artesian we'll and the
time is now ripe when its agitation
should take practical form.
