What the Delegates Think Of ]
Grand Forks and the State,

s... d. l5.t Z ,
c. H. Dancer. assistant chief en-
gineer Of public works: II have en-,
5oyed my brief stay in your city, and
am glad to see so progressive a place,
IS Grand Forks. came through here
in 81, and the progress of the city
since then is amazing. This is a
splendid hotel and the proprietors, Mr..
Wood and Mr. Bacon, are ideal hosts"
Mayor C. A. Nye of Moorhead: 81
lave paid visit to the filtering plant
and the electric light plant as we'll,
and can say without hesitation that
both seem to me to be models of
their kind. We are interested in
Moorhead in such matters, as we are
improving our plant there, and / am
investigating plants wherever have
an opportunity. The ones in this city
are being run economically, should
say, and in my opinion the cost of the
same is considered below that of
other cities of the same size. The
filter is a grand thing, and you should
be proud of the same"
Judge E. NJ. Bennett, Sisseton, 8. D.:
"This is, fine city and the Dacotah
is the best hotel have seen in a city
of this size in years of travel. l am
enjoying my visit, and you may say
for ME that recognize the push and
enterprise of the citizens of Grand
Forks and do not wonder that you
are heard of abroad. Your newspapers
are we'll up to date and of the right
sort to make town move on. You
are to be congratulated"
Mayor Hamilton, Morris, Man.: II
note the improvements in Grand
Forks every visit make and am only
100 glad to express my compliments
upon your hospitality, push and en-
terprise. Grand Forks is all right and
bound to be city of size and COM
mercial standing. You have the right
sort of timber here to make it such"
]. E. Paulson, Hillsboro: 81 have
lived in the valley for thirty years
and am naturally interested in the
welfare of it's cities and the farming
community in general. We need drain
age here as we'll as in Manitoba and
ii conducted along economical lines
it will be a good thing. Grand Forks
as a city is all right-it always has
Leen and always will be, in my opin-
ion"
F. R Atkinson, Bismarck: II have
great faith in the future of North
Dakota and believe that every loyal
citizen should do all within his power
tc further its interests. Grand Forks
is recognized as hustlhg city, and
J. is worthy of the name AS for
hotel accommodations, hospitality of
the people and every thing that goes
to make visit pleasant, it cannot be
eXcelled."
George A. Ralph, Minnesota: "You
newspaper men all know where
stand in respect to North Dakota and
that l consider the interests of this
sister state as directly incident to
the progress of Minnesota along the
valley in which we have SO much in
common. You are to be congratulated
upon having citizens here who do
things besides talk. Grand Forks is
city which is bound to keep on in
the march of progress, and l always
enjoy a visit here"
Senator Cashel, Grafton: II am
inclined to talk too much l fear some
times, but l can never say too much
for North Dakota and for Grand Forks
as we'll. Grand Forks is bound to be
enc of the leading cities of the north
west, and its reputation is not confined
alone to North Dakota or Minnesota.
am proud to be citizen of the state
and believe that this drainage move.
ment will be fruitful of good results
in the future"
