that the capital city is to be a regis

the Berthold Indian reservation and
the holding Of the State Industrial ex-
position on the same dates makes the
assurance Of big crowds doubly sure
superintendent Witten, who has
charge of the registration and the sub
sequent drawing, stated that he ex-
pected a large majority OF the people
coming to the state wclI6 make Bis
marck their objective point. This city
is better able to take care of the
crowds on account OF the hotel accom-
modations and train service than any
other town where registration is pos
sible.
The notarial booths will be conven-
iently located and the commercial club
has made arrangements for a proper
handling Of the crowds. Bismarck is
also the only city in the state where
experience in handling of crowds has
been had, this being the registration
point for the Standing Rock and Chew
