more had he known I was from the

as he had to give out and, while he
might have had something better tt
hand out, I'm satisfied. We have 8
fine exhibit-the best I think, of the
northwestern states.
The, Roosevelt cabin is great at
traction, but I believe our showing Of
grain appeals more to the people look

with than the more spectacular feat

brought home to me enroute back. In a
casual conversation a number of men
spoke of our exhibit at the fair and

Seattle, June 20.-The steamship
Dakota, which is expected to reach
this port in about a week, will find
large cargo OF, Japanese freight
awaiting her. and she will be greeted
by large passenger booking also. A
delegation from North Dakota is ex.
pected next month to give the vessel
a good send off for her maiden trip
and present the steamship with a
clock.
:. 1t has been decided to have the
Dakota 60 to Japanese ports only on
her first voyage, in order that a regu
lar schedule may be established which
will place the Dakota and Minnesota
at opposite ends of the run.
Both steamships will be in. Seattle
at the same time, the Dakota sailing a
day or so after the arrival of the. Min
nesota. The latter ship will sail fol-
the Orient in August, and the present
plan is to have the steamships NEE
at Hongkong hereafter, one of then
homeward bound and the other JUS
commencing on her trip around Orien
tai ports. This, it is thought, will
give a regular twenty-day schedul,
for sailings from Seattle.

Quickly discarding these garments,

of sword and napier. As there are six

go through many acrobatic feats. The

local ball management are all a fever
in anticipation of the coming three

the season, thus far, are looked for on
the above date.
/ Census Returns-The census re.
turns are coming in but slowly and
mo definite figures can yet be obtained
Jas to what the population Of Bismarck
lis at the present date. Judging, how.
ever, from what reports have been re.

noted in the final returns as those that
are in are from the country and each
district shows nice increase.

but only two voted in support Of their
convictions.
Longest Day-Today is the longest
day in the year according to the
calendar with the sun scheduled to

giving us fifteen hours and f1fty-five

came shortly after two-thirty a. m.
and it will not be what could be
termed dark at ten p. m. unles it
should happen to cloud up some. II
