Mandan Fair Dates
Fixed October 3-5
Annual Missouri Slope Fair at Mandan
October 3rd, 4th and 5th.-Reserva-
ton Should be Represented

At a meeting of the directors Of
the Missouri Slope Fair Association
Of Mandan, held last week the dates
for the annual exhibition were set
for October 3, 4, 5.
Secretary L. H. Connolly was au-
thorized to Immediately start action
to line up speed events and enter
tainment features that will far sur
pass anything ever seen here be-
fore, says the Daily Pioneer. In
connection with this the heads of
the various departments were in
structed to take what action they
may see fit to cause the displays in
the various departments to be larger
than ever.
The premium list has been made
out and the copy is in the hands of
the printers. 1t is expected that
these books will be ready for distri-
button in about 20 days.
The officers of the fair association
plan on exerting themselves to the
utmost to make the 1916 fair one
that will long be remembered.
1t is expected that as usual a
large number of the Standing Rock
Indians will attend. The dates of
the Standing Rock fair and Mandan
fair have been fixed so there will
be no conflict, and it is probable
that Superintendent Covey may
have some of the best exhibits from
the Standing Rock fair shown at
Missouri Slope fair. as has been the
case in former years. Should this
be done the commissioners Of Sioux
county will no doubt lend financial
assistance to help defray expenses
as they did at the time Of the State
Agricultural Exposition held at
Bismarck last year.
