The Fargo Bridge’ & Iron Co. was tha successful bidder on the bridges, that company being awarded the con- tract to build a 50-foot bridge south of Sterling, 12-foot bridge north of Bis- Marck and a 12 foot bridge in Hay ‘Creek township.

It was a pretty busy meeting the commissioners held ‘Saturday, the fi- nal session lasting until well after 5 g’clock. All of the commissioners were on hand and what with contrac- tors, and others present, there was something happening all of the time. (Miss Elsie Stark requested the ‘ogard’s permission to maintain a home demonstration exhibit at the Missouri Slope Fair whih will be held at Man- dan in September. After due deliver- ation Miss ‘Stark was given the re- quested permission and also author- ized to spend a small portion of the county's funds on signs so that the various displays fn the exhibit could be properly labelled. ‘One of the commissioners inadvert- ently referred to Whistling Eddie as @ warbler. It did not take the Big! Boss very long to remove any illusions that commissioner might have on the subject. Not a Warbler. “I ain't a warbler,” said Very Good Eddie. “I'm a whistler, didn’t voy se3 it in The Tribune?’ And the commis- sioner was properly corrected on this subject. Before closing this particular ac- count of the deliberations of the com- missioners of ‘Burleigh county, it mighe be well te put into the unofficial record that Whistling Eddie and his whistle do not perform any more at the councils of the commissioners. For some strange reason, E. G.’s. whistle has been stdangely silent at the past two meetings. No official announce- ment has been given out on the sub- ject, but it is understood that it has ‘been admonished never to appear again at a meeting of the county board.
