Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-08-31
EXPOSITION Notes

Only a little more than a month I'M
til the Big Event will be right in the
center OF the stage.
The Exposition Building is rapidly
getting into its gala dress. The big
open space that constituted the old
courtyard OF the Northwest Hotel is
now completely rooted over and will
make a handsome addition to the gen.
eral architectural effect Of the whole
building as well as adding more than
1000 square feet to the available floor
space for exhibitive purposes.
Mesdames Holstein, Jersey and Ayr
shire need feel no anxiety that their
creature comforts will not be ade-
quately looked after during their visit
to the state exposition for the FIRST
twelve days in next October. The
roomy barn recently placed at the cor
ner Of Ninth and Main streets for the
accommodation of our aristocratic Wis
itors is now in very forward state of
preparation. A sanitary, scientifically
constructed concrete floor is being laid
and the most up-to-date stalls and run
ways will also be provided; water has
been laid to points Of most convenient
access and a comprehensive system OF
electric lighting is to be installed. Ev-
erything in the way of necessities and
ever Injuries that the most exacting
bovine could demand will be furnished
so that the practical workings of a
modern dairy barn can be fully exern-
Commercial Travellers Day at the
Exposition is going to be a hummer.
The boys are on their mettle and some
of the most surprising and awe-inspir-
ing manifestations are billed to hap
pen. This day alone will be worth
coming many miles to participate in,
for it will demonstrate to fnality the
wonderful resourcefulness of that
great army of enterprising patriots who
carry the goods and merchandise Of
civilization into the uttermost parts OF
the earth.
The Western Kennel Association
event which is to be held at Bismarck
in connection with the Industrial En-
position, is fast taking definite shape,
and is now so we'll in hand that its she
cess as the most important event Of
the kind ever held in North Dakota,
is positively guaranteed. The dates are
fixed for October 2, 3, 4 and 5, and
the public may feel assured the Bis
marck Armory-where the show is to
be housed-will contain IN those dates
all the blue-blooded and p~edigreed rep
resentatives of the canine race to be
found in the great Northwest, as we'll
as from many other localities. A very
neat and nifty premium list, in book
let form, with a handsome two color
cover, has been printed and distribut-
ed, containing all information neces-
sary for the prospective exhibitor or
visitor to the show. 1t is the work of
the Bismarck Tribune company and re-
fleets great credit upon that firm as
we'll as upon its designer and compiler,
Mr.. B. f. Jones, Secretary of the As
ISOLATION.

Some unique attractions are prom
ised by the Bismarck, Commercial Club
to whom has been granted the exclus-
i've use Of the streets of Bismarck dur
ing the Exposition. The Club has
made an. enviable reputation for itself
among such organizations by the vigor
with which it has worked for the in
,terests of the Capital City, and can be
relied on TO make good during the Ex-
position days along the special lines OF
entertainment which it has chosen for
its individual province. A street car
nival is one Of the good things slated.
As*A
Visitors to the 1912 exposition who
were also present in 1911 will not fail
to note quite a few new brick buildings
erected during the intervening months,
and will also doubtless appreciate the
white Way" system Of street lighting
in the business section of the city.
This was not complete a year ago, the
posts being in place but not lighted at
the close Of the exposition. This time
however. they will be in full illumina-
ton and constitute quite an added
beauty to the charms of the capital city.
It is hoped that the next issue will
contain the announcement of Ger
man Day" at the Exposition. Citizens
of German birth or descent are among
the most substantial, law-abiding and
progressive of those who make up the
sum total Of North Dakota's population.
There are between eighty and ninety
German associations in the state, and
with German speakers and German &C
cessories a celebration long to be re-
membered could be easily arranged.
How about it?
