Delinquent Tax List.

Delinquent personal property taxes
will~be placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection Aug. IS instead of Oct. IS
as formerly. The law which provides
for tie change ii the dare was passed at
the last session of the legislature and
the purpose of the measure is to give
the sheriff ample time to make collec-
tions before the first of the year.
The penalty attached to delinquent
personal property at this time is 10 per
cent. An additional per cent will be
added when the taxes 60 into the hands
of the sheriff, making total of IS per
cent attached to delinquent personal
taxes after Aug. IS.
On account of the prosperity the citi.
zens of the county have enjoyed for
several years, the taxes have been
cleaned up this year better than for many
years before.

decided advantage over all other medi.

windows, natural wood finish, hard wood
floors, model kitchens supplied with
labor saving modern conveniences, large
closets, electric lights and steam heat
make them the most desirable tenements
in town. The west side has four rooms
and an alcove large enough that it may
be utilized as separate room, while the
east side has four large rooms. The hall
and hall closet, which will be used event
ually as bath room, are lighted by sky
lights. The roof is composition and
slopes to the center so that no slope is
shown in the walls.
Norway pine is the finish used in the
Office and halls and Georgia pine else
where-all in natural finish, and the
floors are hard wood and are all l5dead-
ened with asbestos. Wood fiber plaster
is used throughout the building the
first in the city, although it has been used
in the east for two or three years. The
electric wiring in all parts of the build
ing is carefully insulated and is one Of
the most complete jobs in the city. The
entire building is steam heated all wall
radiation-and electric lighted. Great
care has been exercised in every parti-
cular and the building is most thorough
ly constructed. The Mandan Mercan-
tile Co. had the contract for the building
above the basement, Charles Bake that
for the basement, also the mason work
above, and Senour & Langley for the
heating plant-all sure guarantee OF
good work. A ten foot cement walk and
crossings will be laid as soon as the
building debris is cleared away, but
meantime our friends will be able to find
US without inconvenience unless it rains
all the time; and we extend cordial
invitation to all to call and see us and
our new quarters, and observe our new
machinery at work on press day-Friday
afternoon.
The PRESS building and the cost O
necessary machinery and type is heav,
expense, but we think the city anc
county demand an up-to-date news

THE PRESS BLOCK.

print. The growth of the city, and in
creasing demands of the wide awake
business men for advertising space, as
well as the greater volume of local
matter, now warrants, and even necessi-
tates the change of form and enlarge
ment which we give our patrons this
week for the first time.
As its founders advocated, the PRESS
has always tried to be true to the best
interests Of all, and to say good word
in season and out of season for its city
and county. It does not believe that it
is best to be always decrying its own
town. but on the principle that "you can
lead when you cannot drive" it tries to
suggest and lead up to what is best.
The home of the PRESS almost from
infancy has been the old Odd Fellows
building on Willard street which is now
being removed to make room for fine
brick block. This has been entirely
inadequate to the needs of the business
and menace to health, summer and
winter.
The PRESS has had but two owners
its founder, ]. T. Scott, now of the Cnur
d'Alene Qdaho) Press and M. L. Ayers,
the present proprietor. who purchased
the plant in 1890.
We are unable to give our readers a
cut of the new PRESS building on ac-
count of its unfinished condition, but
will do SO later. 1t is situated on Oakes
street just west of the American hotel
and in the same block with the post
Office, United States land office, First
National bank, Mcdonald & Pomroy, A.

The Experiment Station Barn.

The barn at the Dickinson Expert
ment Station recently completed by the
Mandan Mercantile Co., measures thirty
by fifty feet. The east half of the lower
floor is to be used for the storage of
machinery. The west half contains five
stalls and box stall and in addition
there are two small rooms, one for
harnesses and the other to be used as a
tool an I stock room. the fret floor is of
dirt. A stairway ascends from the
machinery room to the second floor.
On this floor. seed room eighteen feet
square. occupies the southeast corner.
Immediately north of the seed room are
two grain bins, with chutes leading to
small bins in the alley behind the horses.
A room 10 by I3 feet provided with a
fue is found occupying the north west
portion of the second floor. The hay
loft occupies the remainder of the
second floor. The seed room will be
used for the storage of the many sam.
Piles of seeds and grain used in expert
mental work and it will also provide
space for the treatment and cleaning OF
seeds and grain. The remaining room
will be used as adisplay room for
grasses and grains, as a seed drying
room for the drying of seeds before stor-
ing for the winter and also for the grad.
ing and examination of seeds in cold
weather.
In the construction of the barn, the
needs of the station have been kept in
prominence, yet it is believed that in
many of the plans and details, the farm.
er can find much of interest and perhaps
of value. The barn is painted red with
white trimmings. It is well lighted and
the roof is relieved by dormors and "a
cupalo.

The founders of the paper, while
calling attention in the first number to
the immense value to this section of its
vast deposits of coal, of its undeveloped
clay banks, its winters, milders than in
Minnesota and the valley of the Red ~

importance Of all these, laid especial
stress upon what has proven to be the
largest factor in the wealth of this

pany. and is laid in mortar of the same
shade. The gray coursing stone is
pointed up with the same shade of terra
Gotta and the trimmings are of the same
general color tone.
An especial feature of the building is
the use of rock faced brick in suitable
sizes for water tables, sills, cornices and
coping in place of the stone heretofore
imported for such use. Special brick
mouldings were used for all opening
reveals and for the balustrade above the
main cornice. All of this was manufac-
tured by the Dickinson Fire & Pressed
Brick Co.
The foundation is carried above grade
sufficiently to make the basement light
and the air good. The whole is finished
with cement floor and the fuel room and
engine room are shut off by a brick
wall. Two rooms in front with espe-
cially good light will be rented for the
present.
In the basement is the PRESS stock
room, and two rooms one for the use of
each fiat. The main entrance is on the
north with an Office on the right which
also opens into the west hall, and two
fine connecting Offices on the left which
will be occupied by the PRESS editor and
the PRESS insurance agency. Open, easy
stairs connecting with the same from the
west hall lead to the basement. At the
end of the north hall are double doors
leading to the large light mechanical
room, which occupies the entire south
half of the main floor. Printers never
get too much light and throughout the
building provision has been made for
ample light. Here will be found the
new press, engine and folder; the jobber
and the paraphernalia of newspaper
making.
On the. west side is the entrance to
the second floor an open oak staircase
leading to two very pleasant fats. Large
