ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE
is A LIVE ORGANIZATION
Last Year Saw Much Activity of this
Organization of Business Men
Much Accomplished

The year 1916 was a progressive
year as far as the Association of Com
merce was concerned. Many new peo-
pie were brought to the city of Minot
through the instrumentality of the or
ganization, and much valuable adver-
Using for the city was done during the
twelve months.
Many accomplishments of civic ma
ture show up strong for the year, and
during the year 1917 it is expected
that the good influence of the Asso-
citation of Commerce will be felt to a
greater extent than ever before in the
history of the organization.
Data has been gathered on all sub
jects pertaining to the city Of Minot,
so that all inquiries about Minot can
be satisfactorily answered at mo-
ment' s notice. A number of important
Investigations have been set on foot
that will result in great good for the
city of Minot and the northwestern
portion of the state of North Dakota.
Following are the officers of the or
ganization:

BUILDERS AND TRADERS
ARE MORE THAN ACTIVE
Prospects for Nearly $4,000, 900 Worth
of New Buildings in 1917 Has Put
New Life Into Organization

The Builders and Traders Exchange
OF this city has played no small part
in the building history of the Wonder
City. For several years this organ
lzatlon has been in existence and has
been of great benefit to those of our
citizens who have erected large build
ings, for the mere fact that such an
organization was in Minot guaranteed
that number of bids would be sub
mitted on every job to be done.
For some time the secretary of the
Association Of Commerce has also act
ed as secretary for the Exchange, and
at the present time is still acting in
that capacity.
At the recent annual election, the
following officers were elected for the
year 1917:
President-C. D. See.
First Vice President-P. J. Connolly
Secretary-Will f. Holbein.
Treasurer-Fred Ernst.
Owing to the fact that the work of
the Association Of Commerce has as
sumed such large proportions Of late
it was decided to rent the two rooms
formerly occupied by Lewis & Co., in
the jacobson block, adjacent to the Of
fees of the Association of Commerce,
and at the present writing these rooms
are being fitted up for occupancy
This additional space will give the full
membership meeting place, and it is
proposed to secure exhibits from build
ing material companies to be placed in
the rooms, for the benefit of the con-
tractors and for the prospective build
ers. This will be new and interest
ing feature of the exchange.
With the prospects for such large
building record during the year 1917
it is expected that at least fifty con-
tractors and builders will belong to the
Exchange.

J. w. Rode has the excavation made

It is hoped that the new wing and
the auditorium for the Minot Normal
will be built this year. Work will be
started if the appropriation is made.
The Great Northern is working on
plans for the new steel viaduct.
The Independent has information
concerning number of other buildings
that very likely will be built this year
but we are not at liberty to give names.
A cold storage house is being planned:
At least four combined factories and
assembling plants, two to do all their
manufacturing here, are being project
ed. A solid block Of low price flats,
unit style, is being planned. Of course
there will be hundreds of residences
built, and if the Independent has fail
ed to mention hundred thousand dol
lar building or two that is to be con-
structed, we will have to be pardoned,
for Minot is growing so rapidly that
even our reportorial force with the
we'll developed "nose for news" are not
able to keep track Of everything.
We have not attempted to mention
various plans for enlarging structures;
There will be buildings heightened and
tories added. The municipal improve
ments will no doubt run away up, into
the thousands of dollars.
We confess that we are not able to
give all the reasons for Minot's rapid
growth. A couple of million dollars
worth of buildings were constructed
last year, but there is just as big a

more interest manifested among the
members of the association.
MINOT is CENTER FOR
POULTRY BREEDERS
Poultry Breeders of This Part of State
Organize With Headquarters
in the Wonder City

For some time it was apparent that
one important industry in this part of
North Dakota was being neglected, so
last fall number of the poultry
breeders of the northwestern portion
of the state met at Minot and perfect
ed an organization that is known as
the Northwestern North Dakota Poul-
tryl association, with the following Of
ficers and directors:
President-John Stoudt.
Vice President-Geo. w. Walton,
Velva.
Treasurer-W. A. Peck, Minot.
Secretary-Will E. Holbein, Minot.
Directors-John Stoudt, Minot; w.
H. Wigham, Minot; w. w. Davenport,
Velva; A. B. Benoit, East Fairview;
w. F. Somerdorff, Towner; J. A.
Southam, Mohall; E. A. Madison, Bur-
lington; F. E. Ward, Minot; T. A.
Stenhjem, Williston; VIM. fainter,
Williston.
This organization Immediately got
busy and early decided that the best
way to bring the poultry breeding in
dustry into the limelight was to hold
a poultry show, and this will be done
during the week of March 5 to IL, this
year.
AS an indication that there is some
poultry in this part Of the state it will
only be necessary to state that &C
cording to the assessors returns last
year Ward county had in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 worth of the feath-
cred fowls, and it is safe to say that
the territory that this association COW
ers has several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of them.
Poultry and eggs are therefore, be-
ginning to cut some figure in the ship
ments from this part of the state, and
it is expected that with the proper en-
couragement that the industry will be-
come one of the principal ones in this
state.
