such trains, as the Minnesota state
fair would be on in full blast on that
date. He said he would know within
day or so as to just what the COM
pany would do.
II Is the desire to have a train on
the Great Northern from Crookston
and Devils Lake, Darlington, ETC., while
the Northern Pacific will be asked to
have trains from Edgeley, the Cassel-
ton branch and other points. The
statement was made at the meeting
that no report had been received from
the Milwaukee road, but an effort
would be made to get it to do
business. Judge Young made his re-
port along the above lines from the
committee on transportation, and the
matter will be thoroughly threshed out
by the railroad companies and the
committee today and tomorrow.
How Trains Will Run.
Judge Young was of the opinion
that the special trains should reach
this city no later than 10 o'clock Mon
day morning and leave again before
or at 5 o'clock in the evening of Labor
day. He said that the Sunday trains
which run on regular time would be
the means of bringing in such crowds
that the hotels would be packed full
and that it was not desirable 70 bring
the people here by special train on
Sunday and permit them to walk the
streets.
Had Many Letters.
Congressman Hanna stated that he
expected the biggest crowd in Fargo
that the city had ever had. He said
that he had received over 100 letters
from all parts of the state asking for
information and that If the people
could be hauled here they would come.
He said that from every little town in
the city people were asking for news
of special trains, and he hoped that
all could be accommodated.
On the Aneta Line.
Ticket Agent May said that he be-
lieved that at least $50 people from
Aneta and intermediate points would
travel over his line to the city, and
he felt confident that his line would
have the special trains, but he said it
was absolutely necessary to have a
programme to tell the people just what
was to be done in Fargo on that day.
He expected his line would run q train
from Crookston and other points, and
Mr.. Johnson said that his company had
already taken up the matter with the
agents all along the line within q
radius Of 100 miles of the city.
Just One Speech.
Congressman Hanna in answer to
questions said that Colonel Roosevelt
would arrive here about noon Sept 4,
and would remain over Sunday and
until 1850 Monday night, but that he
would only make one speech while in
the city. He had been asked to speak
at the Y. M. G.. A. Sunday afternoon,
but had been compelled to decline on
account of his voice, and that he would
not likely make speech at the corner
stone laying, but might talk for maybe
five minutes. Mr.. Hanna stated that
the advertising matter should be at
tended to at once and the publicity
committee was instructed to ger busy
at once. Judge Young stated that
Fargo college had arranged their pro-
gramme SO that the invited guests

half an hour.

committee on platform stated that

Mr.. Shea, had been requested to draw
plans for this platform SO as to insure
safety for the people. lie thought the
platform would hold from 1,500 TO 1000
people and that there would be many
entrances. He thought tickets should
be issued the reception committee. for |
there would be distinguished men from
all parts of the state whom the COM
mittee would like to honor. 1t was
decided to have tickets printed, and
these will be issued by the committee
at a certain time and place. Unless
the seats are taken within five min
utes of the time set for the speaking |
they will be given to other people.

ported that he expected at least SGD
men in line for fhe parade and tho
