The Fair at the Methodist church
opened with the greatest enthusiasm
yesterday afternoon. Every booth
was In readiness and prepared for
business, a rather unusual circum-
stance on an opening day.
There are seventeen booths and
stands, all so beautifully trimmed and
filed with merchandise, that it is
difficult to discriminate; but in the
judgment of many, the Country Store
is the most complete in its appoint
ments, though somewhat modern and
up-to-date for a way-back shop.
Our genial friend Grant Harbour
is the artist who arranged it and al
though he is justly proud of his han
diwork, he is willing to see it des-
poiled for the benefit of those who
want to lay in their winter provis-
ions.
The Doll Sunday School, Fancy
work, Red Cross, Dry Goods, Tea &
Coffee, Larkin, Handkerchiefs, Art,
and Flower booths vie with each
other lin the attraction of their wares
and those who have charge of them.
The Lemonade, Candy, Popcorn
and Ice-cream stands were busy
places all the evening"
About two-hundred and fifty
were served with supper and there

coffee was furnished by A. c. LAMAR

The auditor incidentally remarks:
cit Is hoped that ere the close Of the
present fiscal year the people of Fargo
will have anample supply OF excellent
water, pure enough and safe enough
for all uses. There is no good reason
why this cannot be accomplished
within that time"
In speaking OF the finances OF the
city the auditor says In part:
1T is gratifying TO note that, in
the past ten years, the bonded indebt-
edness of the city has been reduced
$4,000, the annual bond interest
1880, and that there is not an inter-
est-bearing general fund warrant out
standing today, whereas, ten years
ago the fund was about two years in
arrears, all bearing per cent interest.
The city is in splendid condition
financially; pays cash for current ex-
penses. and gains steadily year by
year. Sixty thousand dollars of
bonded Indebtedness will fall due in
the year 1911. and the bonds will be
paid when due.
"The annual interest on CITY bonds
is $3.50 and that amount has been
levied each year, for reveral years
past. The condition OF the interest
fund is such that 1t Will not be neces-
sary to levy any amount for that pur-
pose for the coming year"

APPEARANCE
New Sidewalk Arrangement at the
Federal Building Receives Many
Compliments.

The near completion OF the new
sidewalk that is being laid around the
federal building has resulted in
scores or compliments from those who
consider the arrangement very artis-
tic. The portion next to the build
ing, bounded by a graceful curve, is
OF the same grade as the former
walk. The outer portion meets the
official grade line. The raise next to
the building forms very neat plat
form The arrangement was conceiv-
ed by Chief Engineer Crabbe in or
der to correct an error which was
made in setting stakes before he took
the Office. The grade for the old
walk as given by a former engineer,
was about six inches above the prop
er level. After the new paving was
laid in that section the appearance
was very unsightly.
