space for its exhibit at the North Dakota
Exposition at Bismarck. September 26

covering the county. in automobiles for
the best of our natural products.

ated with him R. S. Davidson. Geo. M.
Frye, Fred Maser and O. Schwartz. This
constitutes a general committee, with
power to appoint sub COMMITTEES. as
announced last week. and the plan is to
have one or more men in every town in
the county to give such assistance as
they can in gathering grains, vegetables.
clay products, coal samples. etc.
1t is to be county exhibit and every
one should be interested to make it the
best possible. With our superior brick
and coal products, Stark county should
easily have one of the most interesting
and instructive exhibits at Bismarck.
The Heaton Lumber Co. of this city has
donated the use of two rooms for
assembling products from different parts
of the county. The various exhibits
will be prepared by experts. boxed and
transported free by the Northern Pacific
Ry. Co. to Bismarck. Some expert
enced person will be in charge of the
booth in the exposition building and
to see that the thousands of visitors are
made acquainted with the merits of
Stark county.
On Monday large delegation from
the Commercial Club waited on the
county board and secured the promise
of an appropriation of $3.50 to help in
defraying necessary expenses in gather
ing the county products. Private sub
scriptions will be added to this. bring
ing the amount up to perhaps $500.
The general committee is donating a
large amount of good work and it is
expected that this will be the spirit all
along the line.
AS has been stated before in the
PRESS. the North Dakota Industrial Ex-
position is under the direction of the
commissioner of agriculture and labor
and will be held in the old Northwest
hotel building at Bismarck. The North
ern Pacific donates the use of the build
ing and transports all exhibits free.
Warden Hellstrom of the penitentiary is
allowing the state the use of all the
convict labor wanted in overhaulinG
and putting the building in shape, and
already has Is and 80 pen laborers on
the job. On the first floor will be the
general rooms for exposition visitors,
the old Northwest kitchen being used fol
jairy products. A high class vaudeville
attraction has been engaged and will
show continually for the amusement OF
those in attendance on this floor, the
general gate ticket including the show.
The brick, clay, coal and stone exhibits
will be in the basement, while on the
fsecond floor comes the county exhibits.
Stark county is fortunate in having
space on the second floor. with the Other
Slope counties. as many counties have
to take space on the third floor. The
Northern Pacific has set aside $500 fol-
the preparation of a single booth and
all the railroads. and jobbing houses Of
the Twin Cities are aiding in making
the exposition grand success by donat'
ing liberal prizes. One elevator com.
pany donates $500 in prizes. NORTH
Dakota has appropriated 5000 for thu
fair, which will undoubtedly become &
permanent thing.
A large list of prizes, amounting to
many thousands of dollars. are offered
and Stark county ought to get some o.
them. f. 4s
