THURSDAY BIG
DAY IN HISTORY
Of SLOPE FAIR
More Than 5000 People Take in
Best Exposition Ever Held
in Mandan
GREAT SHOW WILL END
WITH PROGRAM TODAY

Mandan, Sept. z1.-With 3,24G paid
admissions, and an actual attendance,
including school children, admitted
free, of more than 5000, Thursday
proved the biggest and most success
full day in the history Of the Missouri
Slope Agricultural association. The
weather was ideal, the fine program
went off without a hitch, and the
thousands of merry-makers enjoyed
every minute of the big show. The
attendance from Bismarck was re-
markably good. No. 8, which came
over at noon, was crowded; on No.
7, early in the afternoon, there was
barely standing room. A special train
leaving last night at 8 o'clock carried
the Capital City visitors homeward
Clears Old Debt.
Financially, association officers an
nounced after business session this
morning, the big fair has been de-
cidedly satisfactory, clearing enough
money over all current expenses to
pay off an old debt of approximately
$4,000 and then leaving a fine little
nest-egg for the 1918 fair.
A thousand Sioux Indians, many of
them in native dress, camping on the
grounds in aboriginal fashion, and the
pup tents of 700 North Dakota guards
men from Fort Lincoln have given
the fair grounds the appearance of a
military outpost of the old days, and
the soldiers and Indians have proven
one of the big attractions of the fair
Dare Devil Mills, the aviator who
flew at Bismarck's Fourth of July
celebration in 1916, made two fair
flights yesterday, and the crowds were
we'll pleased with his exhibition. He
will make two more "hops" this af-
ternoon with his military-tractor type

points and the Germans were massing

1t has been a day of great success
for British arms, as the wooded

unquestionably are of crucial import

Washington, May is. - A forestr,
regiment, composed of foresters
woodsmen and others experienced in
lumbering operations, will go tc
france as a unit in the expedition
or army engineers now being recruit
ed. 1t will be organized as a vol

The forest service, at the request
OF the War Department, will prepare
plans for organization and equipment

The duty of the force will be to con-
vert available timber into material
for bridges, railroads and trenches
with the least possible waste.
