During the past week Architect Beebe
of Fargo was called to the city by the
First National bank people to prepare
plans and specifications for their new
block. The bank corner, IS feet facing
on Willard street and 1872 feet facing on
Barnes, is to e'built in solid with brick,
full two stories all around. This means
the tearing out of the 25-foot front wood
structure occupied by L. A. Davis 4
Son and building in with brick between
the present bank building and the St.
Paul hotel on the west and north to the
alley, connecting with the A. T. Crowl
4 Co. store and adding thereto a second
story. Mr.. Crowl is to have the ground
floor Of the new building which will
give him an entrance on Willard street
as we'll as on Barnes. The old Masonic
hall is to be converted into office rooms
and the order given commodious quar-
tiers or the End floor in the new structure
facing on Willard. The postofice is to
have new quarters in the gap between
the present office and the Crowl store.
1t is expected that the new United
States land office will occupy the end
floor, and the banking rooms will proba-
bly, be extended to include the old post
office part. The boilers for the heating
plant will probably be placed under the
p%ostoftice and so arranged as to furnish
heat for the entire block. The improve
mcnt will cost around $4,000 and will
make the First National block by far
the largest and finest in the city. The
contracts will be let at once and work
pushed to an early completion.

Dickinson Wins the Second Game from

OsSstOlVCs
In the game played with the Glendive
basket ball team last Saturday evening,
the Dickinson team was once more vic
torious.
The players reached Glendivc Satur-
day morning and were met at that place
by members Of the team. During all the
stay in the city no courtesy was omitted
by the entertainers. The true western
spirit Of hospitality was manifest through
out from start to finish, proving the peo-
pie of Glcndive to be most royal enter
tainers.
Those from Dickinson who witnessed
the game we're Miss Libby, Mrs. r.

substitutes were Lewie Kostelecky, Vic

Our boys did not put up their usual
game, owing to the small floor, which
made it almost impossible to leave their
opponent.
Good team work was displayed, but
out of the number of throws for baskets,
very few field scores we're made.
The Glendive men played a fast game
but did not work together we'll.
In the first of the second half a basket
was thrown for Dickinson, accidentally

A game has been arranged to be play
