Mandan & Southwestern With 33 miles of the new north and south railroad survey completed, the crew of 12 men working on the loca- tion survey is now encamped in three big tents on the old Parkin place, now occupied ‘by J. J. Nead, two miles southwest of the city. Camp was} pitched there Wednesday afternoon, and the men will be there for several weeks, or until the survey extends] some 10 or 12 miles north from Man- dan. A regular meeting of the directors of the new road, presided over by the) chairman, John Dawson, was held in! the Commercial club rooms Wednes-| Cut-off into St. Anthony. Ever since the conception of the road there has been some question in of the main line to the town of St. Anthony. It was definitely decided to the lin line along the flat just about half’a mile, or perhaps a trifle less, north of St. Anthony, and reach the town by a cut-off. This TO BE BIGGEST EVER Good Carnival Companies to Be Brought Here for Exposition —Officers Busy “It’s a month and a half until fair time so it’s hard to give definite in- formation about our program, but you can tell them we're all. working.” That is. what John Dawson, new president of the Slope Agricultural & 5 Fair association- stated when asked this week about the big fall attraction.
