Good Roads.
We are all interested in good roads
in North Dakota and because Of this
interest State Engineer T. r. Atkinson
has secured from the federal govern
ment a complete set of moving pic
lures which set forth from beginning
to end the most approved methods of
modern road construction. These are
the same views which formed such
center Of attraction at the Omaha ex-
hibition and are said to be interesting
in the extreme. These reels will be
shown daily through the whole twenty
days in one of the large rooms in the
basement and should be of great value
to many of our visiting road super
visors and others interested in this
most important item of public trans
portation.
Legislative.
Either on September 20 or October
End it is probable that legislative re-
union of the members of both housts
of the state legislature will be held,
the exact date to be decided later.
Speaker Hanley has written the differ
ent members Of the house and in con-
junction with Lieut.. Governor Burdick
will name which day is to be desig-
mated Legislative Day" for the expo.
sition. This also will be one of the
red letter days of the exposition, OFFER
ing as it does, an opportunity for re.
newing of friendships among the mem
bers themselves as we'll as for the
members to become acquainted with
people from all over the state.

ings, on October 4, and 6. Among

AS. an example of the enthusiastic
response with which the first state ex.
position has been met all over North
Dakota it may be mentioned that thir-
ty.six out of the forty.nine counties
in the state have already engaged
booths for their displays. When it is
remembered that at the great Mime
sofa state fair recently held at Ham
line only thirty-six out of more than
eighty counties were represented by
individual exhibits, the general appre-
citation of our maiden effort in this line
becomes still more marked and of It,
self foretells an assured success for
the undertaking.
For twenty days from September &c
to October 16, Bismarck, the EXPOSE
ton City, will be en- fete, and each
individual citizen should constitute
himself or herself a committee of one
to extend to our all visitors the glad
hand of hearty welcome and to see
to- it that one and all have the royal
good time Of amusement and instruc.
ton for which state, county, city and
management of the exposition and all
others interested, have worked so
loyalty and indefatigably. Everything
humanity possible that could be con-
ceived in the fertile minds of those il
charge has been thought out and put
into effect in order to insure success
for this state exposition of ours. The
difficulties and handicaps imposed by
somewhat limited means and more lin.
tied time for preparation have been
swept aside and overcome, and scope
of action, at one time thought to be
impossible under the circumstances,
has been adopted and carried to a sue
cessful conclusion. With the public
the great, sympathetic, big hearted
public, rests the verdict. Let them
come and see, pass judgment and de-
cree what shall be the historical stan:l
ing of North Dakota's first Industrial
Exposition.
