Tomorrow will mark the close of
North Dakota's first big Industrial
Exposition and from present indica-
tiois it will round out in a manner be-
fitting the complete success which
has attended from the first day.
Superintendent Gilbreath, who with
his able assistants, has worked almost
day and night for the past four
months to win for the big und'ertak-
ing a favorable name, has succeeded
beyond all expectations and he is
highly gratified in consequence.
Saturday, the 14th, is Travelling
Mems day. This date was set apart
for the commercial gentlemen two
weeks ago and the Bismarck drum
mers have been busy.
Every bagman of any note in the
state will be here by noon tomorrow
to participate in the festivities. The
boys will own the big building to-
morrow. They will also foreclose
their lien on Bismarck and there is
going to be something of a lively and
entertaining nature all day.
There may not be any published
program. The travelling men move by
no fixed rules. They reserve the
right to revise their schedules to suit
their convenience and the exigencies
of the occasion. But there is sort
of general understanding, unwritten
guide, (which will govern the days
proceedings.
The travelling men of Bismarck
have something up their sleeve, so to
speak. They decline to show their
hand for reasons best known to them
selves. But anyone who expects to-
spend dull day must not expect it
in Bismarck. It won't be here.
The local travelling men held their
final meeting this forenoon to per
feet plans and check up privileges"
The meeting was interesting and
promises good results. Two weeks
have been consumed in brain-racking
study. The travelling man has fer
tile brain and an active mind These
elements are necessary to his success
in business. And he is genius. His
inventions are valuable as business
getters and mirth-provokers, and
when it is said that Saturday, Octo-
ber H. will be a busy day in Bismarck,
the terms are we'll chosen. And he
will be here in large numbers The
available rooms in the hotels are all
engaged. The travelling man knows
how to take care of himself. He re-
serves his room in a hotel as the first
act. Other needs are incidental. At
noon today the reservations exhausted
he rooms in the hotels, but all who
,ome will be provided for. Travelling
alesmen are resourceful. One hun
lred of them live in Bismarck. Each
las an extra room or two, so when
he hotel supply runs out there will
till be plenty of openings.
There have been whispers of
strange doings on the streets tomor-
'ow. 1t has leaked out that several
'atrol wagons have been improvised
md numerous husky gentlemen will
lppear on the streets in police uni
orms and stern-faced kangaroos will
administer injustice from the bench.
)f course this is but the first degree
md involves but the milder test.
here will be others of very taking
lature.
Superintendent Gilbreatb will ar
ange some special features for the
exposition theater. He is better than
green hand when it comes to put
ing up line of catch entertainment.
hose who participate in tomorrows
estivities will know they have been
Omewhere.
Then there will be parade. The
