REDUCED FARE SECURED

The Mandan boosters, a hundred
strong, pushing the Missouri Slope
fair, will probably invade Bismarck
some evening next week. In addition
to boosting the fair they will attempt
to establish a closer friendship be-
tween the two slope cities, according
to the sentiment expressed by Man"
dan people this morning.
The exact date of their excursion
here has not been fixed, and details
will be arranged by Thomas II. Sui
livan of the Mandan Commercial
club, and George N. Remission OF the
Bismarck Commercial club.
Bring Their Band
The Mandan business men made
two trips last week and met with
splendid receptions in all towns Wis
tied, besides having good time
themselves. Their 25piece band
which is said to be excellent, will
accompany them on their trip here.
A quartette will also come with
them and it is probable that special
song of invitation will be sung tG
Bismarck, and that a Bismarck quar-
tette will reply.
The boosters will come either on
special train ahead of or behind No.
4, or on No. 4.
Reduced Rates for the Fair

attending the fair have been secured
on the Kildeer, Mott, and Linton

Get Together
In discussing the proposed trip Of
the Mandan boosters to Bismarck,
Mr.. Sullivan said, Lets get together
There is no reason why the two
cities should not be friendly. And
there is no need to wait year and
a half for the bridge to be finished.
No two cities can do as much for
each other; with the opportunities
and field that Mandan and Bismarck
have they can be the biggest cities
in the state"
Other Mandan men expressed the
same attitude in regard to the pro-
posed journey.
