Commissioner GiIbreath's Address.
In his address Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture Gilbreath said:
After four months of incessant toll
tinged with pleasure; disappointments
changed into agreeable surprises;
worry and vexations supplanted by Joy
and qualification the task of formulat-
ing and constructing the first North
Dakota Industrial exposition has been
completed.
at has been a herculean undertaking
for we had obstacles to overcome which
seemed insurmountable, difficulties
which were appalling and secret APP
position which manifested its vitality
at unexpected moments all through our
work.
'In the light Of these facts, is 1t any
wonder that those who bore the heat
and burden Of this battle have a thrill
of pride course through their veins over
this days work of formally opening
this exposition?
IT take this occasion to thank those
who stood so nobly by me in this great
undertaking, for without their aid and
assistance l would have failed. They
know who they are and therefore
need not mention their names. They
stood firm and steadfast when the
clouds were the thickest and no ray OF
hope or help peered through those dark
and deep Innings.
II wish to sincerely thank the job
bers, merchants and manufacturers OF
Fargo, Minneapolis, st. Paul. Duluth
Chicago and other cities for their gen.
erous donations and especially the
elevator and lumber men OF Minneap-
oils who were extremely liberal In their
contributions. We also owe a debt OF
gratitude to the Duluth Board OF
Trade for it's timely aid and assistance
II desire to congratulate the COM
mercial club of Bismarck for its cour-
age land forethought in securing this
exposition and it's willingness to CO.
operate in every way to promote its
best interests.
Il cannot permit this opportunity to
pass without informing the public Of
the constant and unfaltering assistance
given by Warden Hellstrom. But fol
him the task would have absolutely
failed, for the financial burden would
have been too great to have been borne
But the labor he furnished and tbs

many ways he gave aid and promotion
to this enterprise assured its success.
'It has been the custom since early
days to send North Dakota's products
abroad on each great occasion. This
habit began in the territorial days and
has been kept up to the present year.
The state sent an exhibit to the exposi-
tions held In New Orleans, Chicago,
Buffalo, st. Louis, Portland and Omaha
and during the past six years have
taken samples of the states products to
sixty-five different state and county
fairs Such has been this habit that
many of our people were amazed when
it became public that we did not con-
template taking an exhibit to other
states this year
"A few months over twenty lone
years ago North Dakota had the
shoulders. In 1890 her population was
about $4,000, today 1t is approximately
100000 In 1890 there were $780, 900
acres Of land in this state under actual
cultivation, last year there were 49,
100000 acres under pillow. an increase
of almost 400 per cent. The production
has grown from 27.sO0.0OO in 1889 to
over 175,000,00O in 1910. In 1890 the
total railroad mileage in this state was
$500 while at the present time it is
1870 The total assessed valuation Of
property in 1890 was less than 90,000,-
900. but now 1t is 100000, 600.
such progress, such development,
such advancement, such accumulation
OF wealth and opportunities for wealth
wealth in the broadcast sense, which
opens up new avenues for employment,
and excellent chances for homes can
be found in no other state.
North Dakota has become vast in its
resources, enormous in her production
and tremendous in the rapidity Of her
development. The twenty-one years
Of our state is most unique and glorious
history and as time rolls on she will
expand and increase her agricultural
wealth, mineral resources, business OPP
portunites and manufacturing In
dustries.
ct know of no better or more fitting
way of celebrating her majority, her
glorious past and brilliant future than
by holding an exposition when all her
products can be displayed and her peo-
pie can gather under the same roof and
rejoice together over her marvellous
growth.
Governor, I have the honor to pre-
sent to the state OF North Dakota this
building complete with its products OF
the soil. the handfwork OF the house
wife and maiden, the skill OF the print
er, the labor of the artixan, demonstra-
lions of efforts in the educational line
and the great evidences that progress,

In North Dakota during the past TWEEN
ty-one years, by the most progressive
people on earth, living in state which

This organization and the movement
which it represents Is not to continue
for simply a year but for series OF
years and should be the means OF
adding many million dollars to the
product Of the state of North Dakota
annually. Already quite large
amount has been pledged annually for
this work, covering three year per-
Tod.
The agricultural college, expert
mental station and substations and
the various demonstration farms have
all done good work as we'll as many
other agencies In the state, but this
movement is designed to get down to
the individual farmer personally and
IL he desires advice men representing

stock. the best crops to be produced

counsel with him concerning how to
develop the productive soil of every
portion Of this great state OF ours.
If he does not want the advice Of
the association he does not need to
accept the same or even to ask for II.
but If he does want practical infor

fully given.

Of power that is unmistakable.
But when overwork or anxiety breaks
down the soft gray matter In the brain
and nerve cells (anxiety will do 1t
quicker than overwork) faster than the
food you have been using replaces it.
then to save yourself from that horror
OF darkness, nervous prostration, you
must change food and take on some

Another thing to be considered Is
that Grape-Nuts Is "processed" In
making and the stRrchy parts convert
ed into form OF sugar, exactly as the
process Of digestion In the body. SO
Grapefruit has really passed the first

In connection with tho acquisition Of

made in his annual. report, M. c.
Hazen, District surveyor, Ia consider
ing a plan for the establishment Of a
boulevard surrounding the city. The

upon, and probably will not be given
consideration by the board before the
converting Of the next session OF Con-
gress.

proposed plan takes in a part Of Mary

a boulevard, 1t Is said. would not be
great, as many OF the existing roads

BOARD Of CHARITIES
AGAIN WILL URGE
WOMENS HOSPITAL
Government Building And
Not Appropriation To
Be Asked.

In Its annual report soon to be sub
mitted to the Commissioners, the Board
Of Charities not only will oppose an
appropriation of $500, 900 for a new build
ing for the Columbia Hospital for
Women, but. again will urge the erec-
ton Of Government institution on q
site now owned by the District
at Fourteenth and Upshur streets.
The board is preparing its estimates. in
which will be included an item for the
building. In the preparation of its
estimates last year, the board asked for
an appropriation of $4,000 to begin work
Of construction, with authority to con-
tract for a building costing 100000.
Congress, however, failed to act favor
ably on the recommendation and re-
-newed efforts will be made at the next
session.
The building suggested by the board
would be devoted exclusively to the
care Of INDECENT charities. AS the build
ing proposed by the trustees of Column
bia Hospital would include provision
for fifty pay patients, 1t would afford
accommodate for only 100 INDECENT pa
tients as against $50 that could be pro-
vided for in the plan outlined by the
Board OF Charities, the latter organiza-
ton declares.
For the last several years, the board
has strongly recommended against an
expenditure of $4,000 for a new build
ing for the Columbia Hospital. In its
reports to the Commissioners, the board
expressed the opinion that its recon-
mendations in reference to this hospital
are based on principles of public policy.
The position Of the board Is that there
is no good reason why the Govern
ment should In any way make provision
asked for by the Columbia Hospital,
the board states, would supply other
and more urgent needs for the really
dependent classes.

Fleet On Next Cruise
To Skip Cholera Zone

While the Navy Department is figur-
ing upon three or four itineraries for q
fleet cruise next spring. there seems to
BIO no possibility of the American ves-
sells going to the Mediterranean. Chol-
era In southern Italy, with occasional
outbreaks In other torts of the sea
would make such trip as suggested
too hazardous, navy officers say.
Just where the feet will go has not
been decided. To South Africa and
to the Continent have been discussed.
Most OF the big ships will go to the
various ship yards along the Atlantic
coast late in the fall or early in the
winter, and only small percentage Of
them will be out OF the repair docks
before March.

for Hawaii this week. Most of the yes
