all parts of the state have been re-

ital city since the paper got into cir
culation yesterday.
Qficers Of the regiment, enlisted
men and prominent business men are
heartily in favor of the project and
the matter has been taken up with
the authorities in Washington.
Every man who has been in camp
at the Devils Lake reservation can
testify as to the inadequacy of the
provisions for taking care of the Of
fcers and men. The shortage of the
water supply, insufficient storage
room, long distance from town and
from railroad, necessitating much
hauling by wagon, distance from cen

in favor of mobilizing at Fort Lin.

war talk, and crowds have hung
around the Tribune bulletins all day
and till late last night. There was
considerable interest in the early
reports, but when. the word came that
four u. 5. marines had been killed
and 81 wounded, excitement arose
to 9 high pitch.
There is a high. patriotic feeling
about town, and officers and enlisted
men alike r enthusiastic. Az.
about town, in hotel lobbies and bust
ness houses small knots of men are
congregated, discussing the prospects
and the situation.
Plenty Of Volunteers.
1t Is estimated that there will be
u large number Of married men in
the4North Dakota First Infantry, who
Will be unable to go with the regi.
ment. owing to the fact that There,
Will he no way Of caring for thei.
families. 1nasmuch rs there is ~
urgent, demand many men viii he
compelled to forego the pleasure o.
accompanying their regiment on this
account. Regret has been expressed
by many on that account. Neverthe-
less. there will be more men volun.
teering than can possibly be enlisted,
and there will be u full quota from
all parts of the country at all times.
However, should there be an urgent
demand for men, the present enlist
ment will take the regiment as it
stands, unless except in cases of dis
ability f. .us.. .
Not only is the city of Bismarck
pretty we'll worked up over the stu.
alton. but every town in the country
seems to be interested. The Tribune
telephones were busy all day Tues.
day and till late last night answer
ing the many inquiries regarding the
situation.
Will Continue Bulletin. .u
Each day the Tribune will continue
to post its bulletins in it's windows,
which will serve as an information
bureau to the public. These bulletins
will be posted as fast as news of i'm.
p0rtance arrives, and it i hoped that
the public will appreciate the con.
yenience.
