GOOD LOCAL CONCERNS.

GOOD LOCAL CONCEHNS. =
In another column will be found the
results Of the bidding, yesterday on
sremodeling the heating plant at the
penitentiary. The Dickinson Heating
and Plumbing Co., were The lowest
bidders While Mr.. Frank Grambs, )
resident of Bismarck, Is president OF
this concern, yet the detail work Of
heating and plumbing contracts rests
largely with the active manager Of the
plant, Mr.. w. r. Peet. In Mr.. Peet
the Missouri Slope has one Of the best
heating and plumbing experts In the
state and it was largely through his
thorough knowledge Of the matter
that his concern was enabled to make
the low. bid they did, There was com
petition and that of an active kind
and the state Is to be congratulated
ON securing a very, reasonable Offer
for the work, and II Mr.. Peet should
have the supervision Of the same, the
state will secure a first class job in
every respect. The other Bismarck
bidder, Mr.. .Meacham, was a little
higher than the Dickinson company
but as Mr.. Grambs personally Is 8
resident Of our city, the results are Q
local victory over other cities. r It
shows that in these two concerns the
Missouri Slope can compete with the
larger cities of the state and that IN
81 successful manner. -
