CONTINUED from page ~

"a to 36 degrees. A power pump is
installed at the rear on the ground
floor. The second floor has not yet
been finished as it has not yet been
decided whether it will be finished off
as lodge room, or made into Offices.
| The building is constructed of press.
ed brick, and cost about $4,000 to
erect.
The First Ward school of Mandan is
one of the handsome buildings to be
seen in the city from incoming trains.
Work on the new institution was COM
menced late in the spring, and the
building is very nearly completed.
The opening of the public schools at
Mandan has been postponed until Sept.
IS, when the new building will be all
ready for occupancy. The school is
built two stories high and each moor
has been divided into two school
rooms. 1t is the intention to use the
building for the first, second, third and
fourth grades. The school is so con-
structed that an exact duplicate of the
new building can be added on the
north side, thereby doubling its size.
The basement will be used for the
heating plant, and possibly play
room will be set aside for the use of
the little ones. Hebron pressed brick
has been used, and the building GER
tainly is handsome one.
N. A. Freeburg and company are
constructing the building, and the
heating and ventilating system is be.
ing installed by Grambs & Peet. The
total cost of the building when com.
pleted will be $4,000.
On Main street, near the First Ma
tional bank, one story brick build.
ing has been constructed which, while
small, has made a big difference in
the appearance of the street in that
section. The building was erected by
Harry Williams, and has been leased
! to a jeweler. The front is made of
Hebron pressed brick The cost of
the structure was about $4,000. In
addition to the business buildings thar
have been, and are being, erected in
Mandan, q very large number of hand.
some residences are being built which
will ifprOve the city very materially.
Grambs and Peet have been award.
ed contract to install a fan system
of forced ventilation in the Mandan
high school building. Work has been
commenced on the same and it is to

new system will be three thousand
dollars. = =.

sixteenth annual Morton County fair,
| which is to be held at Mandan We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday. Septem-
Der IA, Is and 49, 1t is expected that
this will be the largest and best fair
that has ever been held on the local
, fair grounds.
| Arrangements are now being made
with the general passenger agent of
the Northern Pacific to run special
train to and from Flasher each day
of the fair over the new line south
Of the city. A special will be run
over from Bismarck Thursday to the
fair, and probably on Friday also.
! There Is no need to run special trains
from the west as the railway accom-
modations are excellent from that d.
! rection. 1t will be necessary, however.
to have several extra coaches attach
ed to the regular passenger trains.
The wild west will be better this
| year than ever before. Five hundred
Indians are expected up from the res
ervation, and the officials are also ex-
pecting more cowboys in from the
ranges than were ever in attendance
! at any previous exhibition. They will
give the wild west what really is wild
west, and will have Buffalo Bill faded
of the map. The stage hold-up each
day will be splendid attraction, fol.
lowed by the rescue by cowboys and
Indians.
The famous Cowles family Of aero
bats will give two free out of door At
fractions each day. This remarkable
family hac hoon ooon oovor~1 time. &,
