BOAT SECURED FROM NAVY
DEPARTMENT
Attendance and HAttractions Expected
to be Best Every at Big Fair July
25-ao-J, J. Hill Has Been Secured
for an Address-Natio"a' Guard Of
State will Encamp on Grounds.

North DdkOCa SIdIo 1d11' "HASh VIII
be held on July Is. to 80 inclusive.
From every indication the fair will
be the best. and the attendance the
largest, providing there is good Wea-
Their during the week, of any expedi-
ton ever held in the state. Arrange
ments have been made with the Great
North and Northern Pacific railroads
for special trains to be run during the
week of the exhibition.
Excursions will be run on the main
line, the southwestern branch and
the Casselton branch OF the Northern
Pacific and on the main line, Aneta
branch, Crookston branch and Grand
Forks branch of the Great Northern.
The railroads will be compelled to
furnish a large amount Of extra equip
ment for the week and they are now
making arrangements for this.
Will Be Attractive Exhibit
The management of the Fair asso-
citation is arranging things in such
manner that visitors can be certain
of the best entertainment while on
the city will also be OF the best for
caring for the vast crowds that will
be in attendance.
Special features for free attrac-
tons is one of the things which the
officers of the exposition are aiming
at and they have now closed large
number of contracts with the best
that is to be founu in the country at
the present time.
One of the special features will be
the encampment Of the North Da-
kota National GIard on the fair
grounds. The ,reGnent will be en-
route to Sparta, Wis, to attend the
manoevres of the regular army and
other national guard organizations
from several other states, and it now
seems a certainty that the fair
grounds will be made the mobiliza-
ton camp. When it was learned that
the regiment would pass through
Fargo, the state fair officials imne-
diately took the matter up with the
state officials. Governor Burke was
communicated with and has express
ed his approval of the proposition: 1t
lis almost an absolute certainty that
they will be at the grounds at least
on Saturday, the last day OF the fair.
Will Get Savage's Horses
Another leading feature will be M.
w. Savages world-beating string OF
horses from Minneapolis. This bunch
includes Dan Patch, Minor Heir,
Lady Maud C. and HedgeWood Boy.
This will be an attraction that every
person in the state will wish to see,
as it will be the only place in this
part of the northwest where these
horses will be shown.
James J. Hill, the empire builder,
will also speaA one day during the
fair. Lieutenant Governor r. S. Lew
is, vice-president Of the Fair assoc1a-
ton and chairman of the entertain.
ment committee, sent Mr.. Hill an In
vitation to be present at the fair and
speak and this invitation has been
accepted. The exact date of Mr..
Hills appearance will be announced
later.
1t seems now that there will be
good prospects of securing Theodore
Roosevelt for an address also. He
will speak in the twin cities near
fair time and every effort will be
advanced to have him come to the
exposition. Being SO near at the
time of the fair, and this state being
his former stamping ground 1t
seems as though there would be very
little trouble in securing him.
BattIeship North Dakota Coming
To the people of this inland CON-
monwealth, probably one Of the most
interesting exhibits will be the navy
department model of the great Dread
naught-the battleship North Dakota.
This model is over ten feet in length
and shows in detail every portion OF
the great sea fighter.
It is a difficult proposition to Sc
cure and remove these models from
the navy department., and 1t Is quite
a compliment to the state that 1t IS
to be exhibited at the fair. Credit
for securing this model must be CIV
en- to Congressman L. B. Hanna,
through whose efforts it was landed.
CONGRESSMAN Hanna is also working
on several other propositions for the
fair at the national capital that will
materially add to it's attractiveness.
