BANQUET B! PLAN
is COMPLETED
Every Member of Association
of Commerce Urged to
Attend Meeting
SEE GOOD SPEAKERS

Final arrangements have beer
made for the big banquet to be
held at the Grand Pacific Hotel
Tuesday, the 9th, at 1870 in the
evening, by the Association of
Commerce Cooperating with the
Bismarck immigration Associa.
tion. Every member of the Asso.
citation of Commerce. together with
his wife and friends, is cordially
urged to be present.
Besides this the immigration
Association, which is composed of
the leading real estate men of the
city, has received acceptances of
its invitation to H. w. Byerly, Cen
eral immigration Agent for the
Northern Pacific and II. S. Funs-
ton, immigration Agent for the
500, to be present and these men
will discuss with the members as
to the best methods of settling and
developing this part of the State.
They are probably the best posted
men in the Northwest on these sub
jects and as the problem of getting
in new settlers and looking after
them after they are here. to see
that they get started right under
their new surroundings and condi-
tions, is one of vital Importance to
every member of the community,
farmer, business man or profess
sional man, it is hoped that every
one will come to this meeting.
snow that the agricultural COM
munities are on the up grade and
conditions growing better all over
the Northwest, now is the time
that we should start to really
boost for Bismarck and North Da-
kota", said a local man. "Real es-
tate men in South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Iowa and other states report
to our local dealers that by fall
there will be a new tide of immi-
grafton starting towards North
Dakota; that the farmers in those
states are tired of high rents and
can't buy the high priced lands
there and are looking this way to
better themselves. Despite the fact
that our own farmers are so hard
up they are far worse off down
there and it is up to us to take ad-
vantage of this condition and to
see that we get our share of these
new settlers. With the general
feeling and movement these days
to get out of wheat raising, to
raise more corn, hogs, cattle, and
do more milking, this part of the
state will very soon forget the past
few trcublous years and there will
be a steady Improvement in condi-
tions
