the history of the state before, and
in addition to being valuable immi-
grafton document, it serves as con-
venient historical reference book,
showing the progress of North Dako-
ia In the year 1909.
At the end of the volume is set
of tables showing the product of the
state for the year 1908 and acreage
for the year 1909. A recent article
by Commissioner Gilbreath showed
North Dakota to lead the union in
wealth per capita production, and
the tables in this book will open the
eyes of the people Of the east and
the middle west to the strides North
Dakota is making along the lines
Of agriculture and growth. Espec-
tally notable in the history of the
state is the growth of the new coun.
ties in the western part of the state,
recently established, but with enter
prising towns and cities, banks, mer-
camille establishments, grain elevat-
ors and various institutions that have
grown up within the past few years.
The North Dakota Year Book will
doubtless be in great demand, and
ought to do much to start the stream
Of immigration that will flow into
the state this year.

GRAND

There will be a special Lincoln day
program at the Grand this afternoon
and the music and songs will be a.
propriate to the occasion. The bill
for the latter part of the week has
been making good and the house was
packed to the limit last evening.
The Probsts, in their musical act,
are easily the head liners, and are
turning out fine article of music for
the patrons of the house.
Belmont and Fernell are giving an
entire change of act for the latter
part of the week and are making
as good a hit as they did with their
opening bill.
There are two soubrettes on the
bill and both of them are good.
The pictures for the matinee are
good and the illustrated song finely
pictured.
