Dickinson has fittingly been called
THE Queen City of the Prairies." It's
magnificent lodge buildings, It's num-
erous conventions and enthusiastic
citizens all contribute to the gracious
character of its hospitality.
One not familiar with the growth
of the state as a whole is apt to think
Of North Dakota as being developed
only in the eastern portion with wild
struggling villages and picturesque
cowboys in the west. But it does not
take more than brief visit TO find
that the state is progressing solidly,
and that its cities are really more ad-
vanced and metropolitan than many of
the older great cities of the east. You
are impressed with Dickinson upon
your arrival. The streets are well
oiled and as smooth and rounded as
the finest paving. Then you notice
the lighting system, generous and ef-
fective, and the stores and buildings,
and the parks, the churches, the mills

AT MEDORA
ASSURED

Up to the present time George N.
Keniston, business manager of the
National Parks Transcontinental
Highway association, who is in the
city securing F'argo's $4,000 share of
the Medora bridge fund for the Red
Trail. has raised within $4,000 of the
amount that is needed for the struct-
ure. :.
as was stated yesterday the Fargo
commercial club donated $500 from its
budget and Mr.. Keniston has the
greater part of the $4,000 that Fargo
will give toward the protect.
This bridge. which Is the only miss
ing link in the Red Trail. will cost
$4,000 complete. 1t wall be 415 feet
long and set on concrete piers. Tha
contract will be let on August % and
lit is planned to have the structure
completed by October 1. giving the
Yellowstone Park tourists an unoh-
structed shoot from the park to the
east over this highway.
While the lack of this bridge over
the Little Missouri at Medora has
been practically the only drawback tc
traffic on the highway, it has not been
an absolute bar as hundreds have
travelled over the route with comfort
and ease.
This is shown in the trip Of w. A
Moorehouse and party, who were in

The above will be the closing events
of one of the most enthusiastic and
beneficial conventions of the North
Dakota Pharmaceutical association
ever held. Every one attending the
convention comedies this and they are
going to their homes with a lot of
new ideas for the development Of their
business and its Improvement for the
benefit of their patrons.
The convention this morning was
devoted entirely to listening to a mum
Der of excellent addresses. ]. Leyden
White, representative of the National
Retail Druggists association, spoke to
the members of the N. d. p. A. on
the narcotic law, the stamp tax and
number of other subjects that are
of vital interest to the druggists. Mr..
White is an excellent and forceful
speaker and came all the way from
Washington, D.. c., for the purpose OF
speaking to the North Dakota phar-
macists on the subject Of the Stevens
bill, which is now pending in con-
gress. This address was the principal
feature of the convention this after

Forum went to press.
w. c. Noyes Speaks.
A very interesting address this fore
noon was one by w. G. Noyes, head
of the Noyes Bros. & Cutler Co., of
st. Paul who told of the recent trip
of the st. Paul jobbers and manufac-
turers through this state. Mr.. Noyes
is delighted with North Dakota condi-
tions and prospects as he viewed them
on this trip and did not hesitate to
tell the druggists about it. He thinks
North Dakota has the best crop condi-
tions he ever saw anywhere and thinks
that business IN North Dakota is go
ing to be not only good but excellent.
Several of the committee made re-
ports today on such subjects as
adulterations. trade relations and the
like. These reports proved to be high

Musical and Dance Tonight.
Two OF the entertainment features
of the convention program will be pull
ed off tonight in the Knights Of Co
lumbus hall on Broadway These will
be complimentary musical program
and the big annual dance. which has
been one of the enjoyable fea-
lures of the meetings for many years
past.
Tomorrow the big picnic takes place
at Oak Grove. There will be nothing
else done by the pharmacists and
travelling statesmen and their wives to-
morrow but enjoy this event. There
will be plenty of good things to eat and
big program of sports for which
splendid prizes are offered.
Owing to the picnic there will be no
business transacted by the convention
tomorrow. In fact all business has to
be completed by 6 o'clock this evening.
One of the last things on the business
program is the election of officers. The
nominating committee is now at work
but it will not make it's report until
just before the election is held.

fleets great credit on its school sys-
tenn.
This year they held a summer
school for teachers expecting to en-
tertain at least 100 but they had near
cIusively that there is a very great
need of normal school at Dickinson.
The eastern part of the state Is very
well supplied, and, in fact large per-
centage of their students come from
the western counties. A normal school
at Dickinson would make it possible
for them to have better teachers and
this would raise the standard of the
schools. Next year the people of the
state will have an opportunity to vote
on this question, and 1t Is the hope
of every sincere believer in the deve-
lopment of the state that this propo-
sition will be carried by an over
whelming majority.

armory is a very solid looking struc-

Russians to the northwest of Warsaw proved so efec

The German press notes pause in the Teutonc
offensive and explains that with the daily lengthen-
ing of communications the problem of transport and
relnforcements becomes more complicated, which
counts for the delay. At the same time the efficiency
OF the Russian guard blows is not ignored by the
newspapers. s1. ...es~. =. .,..4...
