New ENGLAND Entertained.

New England Herald: The New
England Commercial club entertained
at the Gardner hotel Tuesday noon,
The guests were thirty of Bismarck's
best boosters, who are covering the
Slope territory for the purpose Of be-
coming better acquainted with the
business men in this section Of the
state and to advetise the Industrial
Exposition to be held at Bismarck
Oct. l to -. '
Upon their arrival at New England
the boosters were welcomed by the
New England business men and soon
all became acquainted and an enjoy
able hour was spent, during which
time the visitors were told about New
England and her brilliant prospects.
The Capital City men enjoyed the
good dinner furnished them BY the
Commercial club. Tht praised New
Egland, but still insisted that Bis.
marck was a better town and invited
every one here to come to Bismarck
and see for themselves at the time OF
the exposition next fall.
The Bismarckers' trip through the
state has been like a triumphal
march. They left the state capital
Monday morning. At New Salem the
party was met outside the city limits
by every automobile in the town.
There was a dinner and a smoker at
Glen Ullin. The band was out at
Hebron and entertained them with a
concert. The streets were decorated
and every courtesy shown. Richard
ton held out a royal welcome, and the
bana and business men of Dickinson
met the travellers, fed them and treat
ed them to a smoker in the evening
at the Commercial club rooms.
The roads have been very fair and
the, weather could not have been bet.

There is no doubt but that the visit
OF the Bismarck boosters to the White
City proved one of much benefit both
to the people of the White City and
the visitors, and there Is but little
doubt that we will again receive a
visit from many who participated i'm
the initial trip.
The Bismarck boosters auto tour
departed from Bismarck Monday
morning at 7 O'Clock. They crossed
the Missouri river on the Fort Lin
coin ferry, and the first stop was mad
at New Salem. Here every car in
the city went out to meet them. At
Glen Ullin the Commercial club had
arranged a dinner, ad a smoker was
held in the Commercial club rooms
after the diner was served. A band
concert Vas the feature of the thirty
minutes stop at Hebron and another
band concert was enjoyed at Richard
ton. Large crowds of interested resi-.
dents mingled with the Bislharckers
at both Taylor and Gladstone. Dick
|insOn reached five minutes be.
fore schedule time. All along the
line autoists from one town acted as
pilots to the next stop, which cJur-
tesy was greatly appreciated by the
travellers.
The party spent Monday night at
Dickinson, where they were the
guests of the Dickinson Commercial
club at a smoker and talkfest. The
tour started from Dickinson at 10
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Tuesday noo was spent at New
England, where dinner was served at
Hotel Gardner, and was found to have
been paid for by the New England
Commercial club, which also passed
around the cigars. There we're good
crowds at both HaVelOck and Regent.
The cars MAILING the run OF over
300 miles were standing the trip nice
ly up to this point, and every one
was enjoying the journey immensely.
The marvellous crops lin Hettinger
count, many of them stated, will be
remembered by them as long as they
live.

Al Mott Over Njoht,

Mott Spotlight: The visitors were
met at Regent by an escort of the
White City boosters who piloted them
along the Cannon Ball, reaching here
shortly after s o'clock. Immediately
they were taken in hand by the Com
mercial club members and after be-
ing assigned to their various quarters
at Hotel Brown, having all cars stored
for the night at the North Star sheds,
the visitors were taken to the Com
mercial club rooms where light re.
freshments were served, during which
acquaintances were made and renew-
ed. In the meantime Landlord Wash
err was busily engaged in preparing
dinner for the visitors and shortly
after $50 the sumptuous spread was
announced and heartily partaken Of
by the hungry visitors.
During the evening the Capital City
boosters were entertained at the Com
mercial club rooms by the business
men of the city and Commercial club
members at a smoker. The hit of the
evening amongst those present Was
the music furnished by the White
City Harp orchestra, which furnished
excellent music, very pleasing to all
assembled. President Conklin of the
Bismarck Commercial club, on behalf
of the visitors and the citizens of Bis.
marck, expressed his thanks for the
many courtesies shown, making men
tlon also of qne friendly feeling that
exists between Mott and Bismarck.
Judge A. A. Bruce was given a warm
welcoming as he was called on for a
talk. The Judge spoke OF the splen-
did country that he had seen on the
tour, and of the great possibilities
that are here for us in our great
state. G. B. Winter, the publicity
man, who Is doing things for Bis
marck and the exposition, told of the
work in which he was engaged, and
of the needed cooperation OF
every county in the state as necessary
in making the coming exposition a
marked success. !
DR.. Stribling of New England made
response to the talk OF Mr.. Winter,
and in a happy frame of mind told
how New England was making an
effort with Hettinger county to bring
home the first prize this year from
Bismarck, and If boosting counted for
any points at all, the prize was prac-
tically assured. Mr.. Orr of the First
State Eank was the last speaker of
the evening, giving an interesting talk
on the progress being made in the
better farming movement in this par
ticular part Of the country, and also
explained on the efforts being made
for Hettinger county's Agricultural
fair. t.,.
At the conclusion of the talkfest,
a short social session was INDUCED
in, after which good.nights were in
order, and the visitors soon retired to
enjoy a good nights rest, preparatory
to their long trip on Wednesday.
