EAST AS DAWSON
Capital City Businessmen Will
Show Neighbors They Ap-

The first of a series of automobile
"get together" tours will start from
the Commercial club rooms next Wed
nesday morning, when a hundred. or
more of Bismarck's wholesalers, re.
tailers, professional men and repre-
sentatives of other interests will set
out in twenty-five to thirty cars for a
friendly visit to Menoken, Mckenzie,
Sterling, Steele, and possibly Dawson,
Motif and Britten.
Arrangements for the trip were
made at a meeting of business mel
held in the commercial club rooms
Tuesday evening. All present 'ex.
pressed themselves in favor Of the
undertaking, and yesterday morning
the secretary, accompanied by +. y.
Young, made the rounds and "signed
up" a dozen cars for the trip. BY eve
ming the number of cars pledged had
reached twenty, and it is expected
that the morning of the journey will
find thirty machines lined up.
Aff"Glad, Hand" Trip.
The countryYeast. along the main.
line of the Northern Pacific has al.
ways been kind to BismarcF, and Bis.
marck values this good will. 1t is to
show these friends the Capital City's
appreciation that next Wednesdays
trip is planned. Everyone interviewed
has been enthusiastic over the pro-
ject, and with good weather and fine
roads the days work should be salts.
factory in every respect.
Some booster. literature will be TAX
en- along; the cars will be bedecked
with Bismarck pennants and other
gew.gaws, and it will be a very gay
cayalade that files out Of the city next
Wednesday morning. The roads, at
present, with the exception of a strip
between Bismarck and Menoken, are
in very good shape, and the trip Of a
hundred miles o. more should be
made without difficulty or discomfort.
Mechanicians will accompany the
party, to provide for accidents. Lun-
cheon will be- consumed at Steele,
where the longest stop of the day will
be made. At other towns, the msr-
chants will be called upon; old friend
ships will be renewed and new ones
will be cultivated. Every effort will
be made to impress upon III neigh.
bors the welcome which Bismarck has
ever ready for them.
The Commercial club will make an
effort to see personally everyone; who
should be interested in this booster
trip, but = will be almost impossible
to make good on such a contract, and
all who can make the journey, wheth.
er they have a a or not, are re-
quested to file their names with the
secretary at once.
Other Tours S.anned.
Later other tours of this nature will
be given to points south, north, south.
east and northwest, it being, the in.
tention to cover the entire county, if
the good weather holds out. Prepar.
atoms are also being made for a more
elaborate booster trip by rail, de-.
tails of which will be announced when
complete.
Initial steps were taken at a meet.
ing of retailers this week for the or.
ganization of a mercantile bureau in
connection with the Commercial club.
There are many problems which a
best be handled by such a minor d.
vision Of the club, and the plan is
regarded fayorahly.
