it was then that an Investigation

The reason that the campaign
for the removal of the state CAPT
tai is being started now is because
of the delapidated condition OF the
present capitol building. The ex-
pen1iture Of a large sum Of money
is almost imperative now to make
the building even partially habit
able. A new structure must be
provided within the next few years
and before this is done and the

third of the state and is the most
difficult point in North Dakota to
reach from north, northeast and
northwest. 1t IS nowhere near

New Rockford is still west of the

physician in charge Of the case a
short time later without an opera
