Bismarck. N. D., April IT,
With the advent of spring there are
many matters of interest to the city
of Bismarck which mark its develop
ment. There are many residences
and several business blocks to be
built this year, a detailed mention of
which will soon be made in The
Tribune. A great many improve
ments of a public nature are to be
made, conventions are to be held here
and there is a general stir with the
nice, spring weather.
The New Wilton Road.
An item Of interest to, not only
Bismarck, but to all the people In the
north part Of the county, is the new
road to Wilton, which is being con-
structed by the county. The county
commissioners have decided the route
and the surveyors are now at work
on the levels.
This road will lead our from Bis
marck on the north, crossing the
north 500 railway at a point north
of Fairview cemetery, in section ~,
in Hay Creek township. From that
point it will proceed directly north
to a point east of Wilton, following
the section line. on the east side OF
the railroad track. The only point
where the wagon road DIVORCES from
the section line is just below Bald
win, where it is necessary, In order
to keep east of the track. h this
is completed it will make an excel
lent highway into Bismarck, and will
prove a great convenience to all com
ing from the north for many miles on
each side of the road.
Commercial Visitors in June.
In the first week in June. the CAPT.
tai city is to be host to two CONNER
cial organizations, one from Minnea-
polls and one from Milwaukee.
On June / the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce association, which Wis
tied this city. will be here again. h
association is made Up of prominent
business men of various pursuits, and
on this trip they will visit many of
their customers and the commercial
clubs of many cities throughout the
middle west.
If the present plan is carried out
they will arrive in the afternoon and
remain over night. Last year these
men were heartily received In this
city and it is quite probable they will
be even better received this time
as the commercial club is in better
condition to entertain them.
On June 2 the Merchants and Man
u~facturers' association of Milwaukee
will be the guests of Bismarck. There
will be seventy eight in the party. They
will go to Mandan, where they will re-
main till 7:15, then return to Bis
marck and remain till midnight. This
is quite a distant point for these gen
tlemen to come to, but Milwaukee
business men are finding they are
receiving quite a great deal of pat
ronage from North Dakota. hence
they are making this visit in hopes
Of c%ultivating this trade. They will
also be we'll received by the CONNER
cial club.
