LANDS THE SHOW.
Capital City Secured State Industrial
Exposition.

Bismarck.-This city, the natural
distribution center for western North
Dakota, landed the North Dakota In
austria Exposition, as result of a de-
cision announced by Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor w. C. Gilbreath
The Bismarck Commercial club was
the highest hidden for the fair and the
contracts were all signed and sealed
before o'clock Monday evening. The
exposition will be held late enough in
the fall so that 1t can be a representa-
tive agricultural exhibit and it will be
one which should attract thousands Of
people to the state capital from all
parts Of the country. The Northwest
hotel building has been secured from
the Northern Pacific railway and will
be remodeled and converted into the
exposition building.
Not only has the Northern Pacific
given the use of this property for the
Industrial show for 1911. but it pro-
posed that If the state will keep the
building in good repair, pay taxes, as
sessments and insurance. keep the
buildings and grounds Ing good sanitary
and slightly condition and use it for an
agricultural exhibit of products of the
state. North Dakota can have this
building for this purpose so long as
these conditions are complied with.
This certainly is an extremely liberal
proposition and one which, if the state
wishes to display it's products, will be
promptly and thankfully accepted.

brought the total up to over 100. A

you. this Skinski has them all faded
