the returns of American and German

dustries are such that it would be impos-
sible to aim a successful blow at Ger

This last fact in itself is considered
sufficient justification for objection to the
application of the act to American trade.
The representations. which will not take
the form of protest because the act Is
limited in its immediate operation to

of warning Great Britain that the act is
regarded as being wholly unfair and
proper compensation will be expected for
any injury suffered by American trade.

business is becoming more import
ant each year.
The Carnegie Library
There seems to be no question that
Bismarck is to have a new library.
For the building alone, the Carnegie
Corporation offers s25,O00.00, which,
if built, will provide the city with a
very satisfactory sort of structure.
New Automobile Plant
Bismarck's prominence as an au
tomobile distributing center is to be
further accentuated by the erection
Of $4,000 home for the Cadillac
and Studebaker, at the corner OF
Broadway and Fifth street, imme-
diately west OF the Auditorium. Chris.
G. Bertscll, proprietor Of the Bis
marck Motor Co., which has the gen.
eral agency for these cars, annOunc-
ed definite plans for the new struc-
ture last week. The building will
be two stories in height, of fireproof
construction, and with modern,
glass front; handsomely appointed
showrooms; garage and repair shop,
warehouses and everything generally
| which goes to make IN an up-to-the-
minute automobile assembly and dis
tributing plant. The plant will have
a total floor capacity Of $1,000 feet,
the main part TO be $50 by 40, with
an II" SO by 30.
Many New Dwellings
Last season between 1875 and $50
new dwellings were completed in
Bismarck. There are some who pre-
dict that the demand for the present
has been supplied, and that there
will be less construction Of this type
; during the present season. Indica-
tons do not bear out this conten-
ton. Early as the season is, fully
| twenty-five new homes are now un-
der way or nearing completion. Con-
struction work, in fact, was pushed
! throughout the winter, and with all
Of the new residences the demand is
yet much larger than the supply, as a
! casual glance at the want columns
| Of our papers will prove. The
coming summer will bring scores Of
new families to the city because Of
the expansion of jobbing and whole
sale interests already established
here, and the advent sof new ones.
Under the circumstances it Is safe
to predict that last years building
record, SO far as private homes are
concerned, will be equalled II not far
! eclipsed.
Clubs Estimate Conservative
Everything considered, the Com
mercial club regards its estimate OF
100000 for new building opera
tons quite conservative. This in
svestment will mean the distribution
Aof a vast sum for labor; tens OF
thousands will be expended for
feright; several hundred thousand
