Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-12-05

ISOLATION, the State Militia, and the
Civil Engineers, the former compris'
ing the dairy interests from Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota and
Montana.
Under this heading should come
the Good Farming Special" which
was here late in June. Several thou.
sand people visited the train here,
more. We understand, than at any
other place visited.
On September LIST, W had with US
some 80 g%eographers and biologists.
representing scores OF the great Euro.
pean and American universities. They
were taken to the points of interest
about the city, where the lay Of the
land and soil formations could be
well observed and numbers of these
gentlemen said they had been better
taken care Of here than at any city
they had visited. They were given a
considerable. amount of literature ad-
yertising this vicinity.
On October l4th We were favored
by q visit Of some 800 women dele.
gates to the W. c. T. U. convention
at Portland. They were taken to the
capitol in autos, where a reception
by various state officials and civic
bodies was rendered them and We are
in receipt of letters thanking us for
the c0~urtesies extended them. They
were also given bundles Of advertis.
Ing matter.
Railroads.
Another thing On which your Off.
GERS have spent a considerable
amount Of time Is railroads. Through
the clubs efforts the Northern Pacific
Stanton trains connect with the Mott
train at Mandan, making practically
a train through to Bismarck from the
north, and when these trains run ev-
cry day, instead of tri-weekly as at
present, We have very strong hopes
that still better arrangements can, be
made.
The Wilton. Pingree extension was
opened this fall and a tri.weekly
train Is run over that line. Messrs.
Conklin, Baker, Hughes and Miller
made a special trip to st. Paul to con-
fer with the Northern Pacific and
500 officials regarding the possibility
of running these trains into Bismarck
over the 500 tracks from Wilton.
This cannot be done at present, ac-
cordilg to the Northern Pacific Off
Gals, for the reason that the road is
s. new and traffic undeveloped, but
they gave assurances that some more
satisfactory arrangements would be
made later. The opening of these two
lines has brought Bismarck into close
touch with two rich territories and
WI believe our business men are TAX
ing full advantage of their opportuni-
ties there.
There is still nothing to report Oh
either the Milwaukee or Minneapolis
est. Louis extensions. In fart, the
plans OF the latter road are not yet
developed enough for its OFF,
cials to know just when they will
build. You may rest assured the club
is keeping in touch with these mat
ters and will take advantage of every
opportunity which may arise to place
the deslrability of Bismarck before
the proper people.
II has been the purpose Of the club
to cultivate pleasant relations with
both the 500 and Northern Pacific
and the results OF this friendly feel.
ing Is shown by the many fayors We
are receiving from these roads.
New Industries,
Changes occur 20 gradually that I'm.
less one sits down to think Of the
things which have happened he will
not notice them. Quite frequently
business men have said we ought to
get in new industries here and more
wholesale houses and so on and so
forth. -.. z
Here are some of the chief indus.
tries and wholesale houses which
have started in business here the past
twelve months.
The Dacotah Printing Co., in their
new building on Fifth. street, which
will employ 35 people and will bring
at the star. - new families to town.
