10 AAAAOII.
Stark county will have an exhibit of
grain, flour, bri,k, coal and pottery at
the state exposition in Bismarck from
September rs to October 10. Definite
action was taken at the Commercial
Club meeting Wednesday evening when
W. r. Everett, r. S. Davidson, Geo. M.
Frye, Fred Maser and O. Schwartz were
appointed general committee to take
charge of the matter, to procure suitable
floor space in the exposition building,
make collections of the county's re-
sources, in short, with power to appoint
sub committees, raise funds and to
have entire supervision of the exhibit.
The North Dakota exposition at Bis
marck will be big thing and Stark
county could not afford not to be repre-
sented in 50 great an undertaking.
With three or four automobiles the
committee will be able to make large
grain collection during the coming few
days. Our clay products will form an
important part in this exhibit.
Some suitable person will be secured
to take charge of the exhibit at Bis
marck, and it will be the aim to have
Belield. Zenith, South Heart, Lehieh.
Gladstone, Taylor, Richardton and Ante
lope all contributing of the county's re-
sources.
A large part of the work will be
donated, so it is not expected that the
expense will be very much and the land
men of Dickinson already have small
fund that they are pleased to use in so
worthy project. 1t is likely that a
part of the exhibit at least can be used
to advantage at the Mandan fair, which
will be on the last of next month.
Supt. L. R. Waldron is busy preparing
educational exhibits for Chicago, Colo
RADIO Springs. Mandan and. other exbi-
bition places for the fall, and will also
do what he can for the North Dakota ex-
hibit at Bismarck.
q Mr.. Maser reported Wednesday night
that he had taken up with the council
the township road matter in South Dick
inson and had assurance that the road
at the bridge would be fixed in the near
future. Attention was called to the hill
in the to wnship road on the south line
of 81. half mile west of the Langdon
fam. The section was fenced short
time ago which necessitates following
the township road over the hill. II was
learned, however, that Commissioner
Frank Roquette and Surveyor W. r.
Veigel had already taken action looking
to the securing of the needed road work.
1t seems that since Green river township
has been organized it falls upon the new
organization to bear half the burden on
this line and Mr. Veigel has been dele
gated to ascertain whose duty it is to
look after the piece of road in question.
A motion was made to join the feder-
alton of Commercial Clubs of North Da-
kota and to pay the annual fee of $50,
on basis of 5, 600 population for Dick
inson, Notwithstanding tie fact that the
1910 government census did not give us
quite this number. The Commercial
Club members, like most people in the
city. believes that the population of Dick
inson is great deal more than 3, 678.
The vote on joining the federation will
be taken on September 80.
George Senour was empowered to sell
the Commercial Club piano at the best
terms possible and pay off the note in
CURED by it's purchase, the balance due
being about $270.
It was voted to make P. j. Cain an
honary member of the Club. Mr.. Cain
is secretary of the Merchants association.
H. F. Schroeder offered to donate one
of the W. r. Veigel blue prints Of the
city for the use of the club. which the
members present seemed to appreciate
also one of the new Dickinson PRESS
maps of Stark county was presented to
the club.
