Bismarck Grows Every Day."

Bismarck Grows Every Day" r-l., r
This catch phrase has very appro-
priately been chosen by the Bismarck
commercial club as a sort of watch
word to remind our townspeople of
the fact, and to attract the attention
of the outside world, to our steady
progress toward Industrial and COM
mercial greatness.
There is no boom on in Bismarck.
On the contrary it is difficult for
the residents of the city to realize that
Bismarck has entirely outgrown her
frontier habiliments, has put aside her
swaddling clothes and is fast fulfilling
her destiny as the metropolitan of
western North Dakota.
| Weary years there were that Bis
marck passed through when she was
as one in sackcloth and ashes. The
subsistence of the famous capital boom
left her sorely stricken, but her PEG,
pie have bravely weathered that
storm of blasted values and dashed
hopes and gradually the faith that
was in them of the ultimate growth OF
the city into prosperous and i'm
portant commercial center has been
rewarded.
Little by little the city has crept for.
ward in the march of progress until
| today she occupies place. in the
vanguard of the states long list OF
progressive cities.
Her future is no longer in doubt
Her position as the center of com
mercial industry on the Missouri Slope
is assured, is undenied even by her
rivals.
The past few years have been good
years to Bismarck and three business
houses prosper. now where one lived
before. Building operations have
been unceasing, and most of the
remnants of pioneer days have giver
place to substantial and ornate trade

LAST DAY OF FAIR
ANOTHER BIG CROWD REPORTED
e ON THE GROUNDS TODAY
YESTERDAYS MIsHAPs. ''s Is

Yesterday at Mandan the day was
one marked by exceedingly disagree
able weather, but the great crowd en-
joyed itself Notwithstanding the dis
comforts Of dust and then more dust.
The automobile race was called off
on account of an accident while the
contestants were sparring for posi-
ton at the start George Bingen-
heimer's machine collided with and
upset Ed. Miller's, but fortunately no
one was hurt and the machines were
only scratched little.
In the relay race Joe Wells, was
thrown through the breaking of his
saddle girth. He escaped with few
bruises but lost second place in the
race, to Barecoat, Kirtz coming in first
again.
Blue Jay, an Indian, was thrown
from his horse and sustained a broken
leg while riding about on a bucking
broncho.
The trotting races were won by the
same horses as the day before, and
the other horses of the previous day
had equally good luck. T.
The Mandan band came over with
the special this morning and gave our
people some very fine music which
was enjoyed by the crowd at the
depot. All the coaches were pretty
well filed, but the Linton special had
very few people in it.
This being a perfect day the crowds
at the fair are reported as having
a splendid time and enjoying the ex-
cellent program. g.
Secretary Han1ey is receiving many
compliments on the success of the
fair, to which he has devoted great
deal of time, and it is owing to his
personal popularity on this side of the
river that more than usual crowds
have taken in the fair each day.
One of the real treats Of the. fair has
been the, playing of the Linton band
Everyone who has heard this excellent
organization speaks of it in the high.
est praise. 1t is to be regretted that
Bismarck will have no opportunity to
hear this band play.

I Church building has NOT been over
looked in our more material progress
The Baptist denomination is erecting
a handsome stone and brick building
of modern design that will cost them
about $4,000. The Methodists are
laying the foundation for a magnifi-
cent church edifice which will cost
in the neighborhood of SIC, 900 and
the Presbyterians viii build a large
addition to their handsome building.
Many ). improvements. have been
1 80 p -
made at both the large city. school
buildings and today Bismarck can
point with pride to her school facili-
ties as being the equal of any in
cities of the, largest magnitude.
At Fort Lincoln, a suburb of the
city, many new buildings have been
completed this year by the general
government at a cost of several hun
dred thousand dollars and the post
will soon be occupied by four com.
panies of the Sixth Infantry, u. S. A.
No cloud is in sight on Bismarek's
horizon. Her people have reason to
feel gratified that their endeavors in
the past have borne good fruit, and
they are prepared to further unite
their energies toward making the
Capital City, in the next two years
twice as large and twice as rich in
those elements that make for pro
gressive citizenship.

From the Gazette:

able to understand the opportunities
open to them on tho small farm. With

Chile and Andes.

Two ways, Chill and Chile. is the
name Of our South American neighbor
written. Chile is the Spanish and Chill
can form. The name is commonly ex-
planned as an old Peruvian word for
snow, the allusiOn being to the Andes.
But ''Chili'' has also been identified as
a native South American word, "chili,"
meaning cold, which would make it
really the Chilly" country. As to the
meaning of "Andes." there is plenty Of
choice. The word has been variOusly
interpreted as signifying the haunt Of
the tapir. the region of copper. the
home Of the Anti tribe and the site of
the "Andenes," Spanish gardens on the
mountain terraces.

Fish Swallow Sand.

Captains of fishing smacks in the
North sea have found that Goldfish at
certain times of the year take sand in
to their stOmachs as ballast" This. it
would appear, is done when the fish
are about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks Of
the North sea to the deeper water far
ther north. 1t has been observed that
fish caught on the southern banks just
before the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after it
is completed have sand in their stOm-
achs and that the sand is discharged
after the arrival of the fish at the
southern banks on the return migra
ton. In proof of this it is stated that
the sand found in the fish often differs
in color and quality from that of the
bottom where they are caught.-Wash-

BOILED POTATOES.
Why They Should Always he Cooked
In Boiling Water.

Why They Sh0uld Always he Cooked
In Boiling Water.
Pare potatoes with a sharp vegetable
knife Just as thin as possible. for that
part of the tuber lying close to the skin
Is richest In mineral salts, and put each
potato as peeled into pan of cold wa
ter to prevent discOlOratiOn. Have
water and when the peeling pro" IS is
complete take the potatoes from the
cold water and, covering them with
boiling salted water, set them on the
range, covered, to boil. Twenty min
utes usually suffice, but to test them
use skewer or fork. and when they
can be pierced easily remove at once
from the fire, pour off all the water
and set them on the back of the range,
uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that
process occasionally by a slight shah.
ing Of the kettle.
II one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling wa
ter try the following experiment for
proof: Take two cups, In each Of which
has been put teaspoonful of ordinary
starch. Pour over one a quarter of
cupful of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity Of cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays In shape. compact mass. while
the one with the cold water dissolves
into a soft paste. The potato is largely
composed Of starch, and from this
trial any one may draw his own con-
clusions. II you wish pulpy, watery

mealy. snowy ball that would delight
the heart of Epicurus himself always

WEARING APPAREL.

The T1.ic, the Toea and the Leather
Dress Of the Ancsents.
Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit, as is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape of its own. it did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and
the grace and beauty Of Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions of the figure be-
meath. The tunic worn by both Greeks
anal Romans was little, if at all, fitted
to the wearer and when ungirded
hung In folds all round, while the toga
was little more than a sheet and was
worn In all sorts Of ways, according to
the prevailing fashion. The Jews Of
old seem to have worn breeches, but
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them,
for it was difficult for them to run or
even walk fast without first ''girding
up their loins" The clothing of the
northern races was probably always
more of fit than that of the southern.
for they used leather, which does not
lend itself to simple draping. but our
ancestors probably wore an almost
shapeless tunic belted at the waist.
Another striking difference is found
in the gradual monopoly by women Of
the ornamental element in dress. Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman, holding an absO-
lutely subordinate social position. had
to content herself with humber attire.
As she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravagant ele-
ments of costume and left man to con-
less utility.

The hitching posts which were re-
moved from in front Of Max Bruckneris

summer, were replaced the first Of this
week. Whether other business men on
the street will do likewise remains to be
seen.

playing until very recently. There have
been many changes since it vas first
started, . number Of those who first
joined have dropped out and others
have taken places, and in several in
stances the boys have exchanged instru-

more suitable to them. Al the evenings
