This senti- ment was expressed in a meeting held here at the call of Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor J. A. Kitchen. The matter will be laid before the budget committee which meets prior to the next session of the legislature, with a view of having definite recom- mendations submitted ito the legisla-| ture A motion was passed. directing the appointment of a committee to seek the state aid. The proposed distribution as out- ‘lined.in the discussions of the fair men here was the granting of a state subsidy of $10,000 ito each of three regional fair associations, $20,000 to the state fair and aid to county fairs in proportion to their size and ac- ‘complishments. The Interstate Fair, held alternately et Grand Forks and Fargo, would be classed as a region:] fair. Two other regional fairs would be the Missouri Slope Fair ‘held an- nually in Mandan and a proposed re- gional fair in Minot The state fair, held alternately in Grand Forks and Fargo, should receive the greatest aid. it was agreed. Jamestown’s Fair During the discussion J. A. Barner, of Jamestown, spoke of the Stutsman county fair and of the rapid growth of the raising of fine livestock in the county. The fair, he said, was entite] to strong ‘recognition because of the ‘success it had had, and the fact that it draws from a large and populous territory in which-there are many ‘breeders of fine stock. ‘Minot representatives said that there are 17 counties either close to Minot or whose people must pas: through Minot to attend a large fair. The movement for a regional fair in Minot ‘is now in the hands of the county commissioners they stated, E. R. Montgomery, of Grand Forks, secretary ofthe state fair held there; F. W. Roberts, of Fargo, secretary of the state fair held in Fargo, and Sam F. Crabbe all expressed the opinion that the county fairs must-be devel. oped iN order to insure growth of the Jarger fairs, and that the holding of regional fairs would attract many ex- hibitors‘who now do not feel justified in arranging exhibits for but one or two fairs. Committee Named A committee composed ‘of two: reprg- sentatives of fair associations Of Grand Forks, Minot, Mandan and Far; go, and the county fair association of the state, will be named by Mr. Kitchen, as a result of a vote of the meeting, to compile a statement of the laws of other states which pro- vide subsidies for fairs, and to meet with the legislative budget commit- tee. Mr. Crabbe made a talk on the re- cently organized North Dakota De- velopment AsSsociaiton, and urged all fair boards to cooperate in urging at- tendance at the National Dairy Show to be held in St. Paul next October. Those attending the conference were: J, H. McNicol, Grand Forks; C. H. Parker, Minot; J. I. Revig, Thomas. Soldier Hero and President Here; To Lay Territorial Capital Cornerstone | MANY NOTABLES HERE General Ulysses Simpson Grant, the! hundreth anniversary of whose birth | is being celebrated ‘throughout the! length and breadth of the country to- day paid at least one visit to North; Dakota. It was while the present state | was still a part of the vast empire of} the Northwest known as Dakota (gen- erally Dakotah) territory. The occa- sion was the laying of the corner stone of the territorial capital. Because this event came in con- junction with one of the unusual) events of ‘history it is probable that the men and women who stood around the great warrior and former presi- dent on the day when the cornerstone was laid was one of the most brilliant in the history of similar functions. But at that time Grant was the cen- tral figure. He was at the zenith of) his career. He had left the White House six years before and had hardly more than completed the tour of the world in which he received, accord- ing to the press of that itime, the greatest homage ever accorded to a/ visitor from the Western world, The disease which was to end his life two short years later, had not at that time openly marked him. The event, in addition to the laying of the corner stone of the territorial capital building, one of the sections of the present capitol building, whica brought to the state the then world leader and diplomats and representa- tives of many nations was the closing of the gap which ‘had separated the rail connections between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Its special cvent was the driving of the golden spike that held the touching rails at a point ia Montana, that event signalizing the completion of rail transportation, for the first time in the history-of ali the} world, across a continent and joining | two major bodieg of water. Because ithe copies of the Bismar¢; Tribune of that date have beer burned, the accounts of the presence here of the man who was born one hundred years ago today in pioneer Ohio are very meagre and consist of extracts and restatements. The date, accord- ing to one of these rostatementa was} September 5th, 1885. The list of the people appearing at the Jaying of the cornerstone as | printed ‘the following day included, in addition to that of General Grant, H. M. Teller, Secretary of the Interi- or, the British, German, Swedish and Danish Ministers tothe Unit Baron Von Bleichroder, United States Senator Angus Cameron, W. M. Evarts of New York; Marshall Fueld, J. J. Mill, Governor L, F. Hubbard of Mia- nesota; United States Senator J. R. McMillan, ‘Minn a, . ex-Governor Ramsey, Minnesota; Carl Schurz, Gen. ! H. H.

Teller. Herman Ridder, editor of the New York Zeitung was also among those present. General Grant thad béen called upon for a speech but declined. He recon- sidered, however. “At the close of every speech,” says ithe report in the Bismarck Tribune, “the air was rent with a wild clam- orgus cry for Gen, Grant, and now he was led to the front and said: “Ladies and geNtlemen and fellow- citizens of Bismarck, the capitol of Dakota. It is with some reluctance, at \this hour so near the time fixed for our departure, ‘that I come forward to make a speech. Ag you are very well aware, when I get to talking to a crowd, I scarcely know when to quit. IT am sure that if I did attempt to tell you what I have seen in your ter- ritory and what an impression it had made upon my mind, our train would not get started in time tc drive the golden spike. I-will be brief, and will say that although I have been ‘in al- most every other place im the United ea Territory until yesterday. I had heard of this great country and its fertile soil, but was not prepared to see what my eyes have gazed upon since my arrival, With Mr. Evarts I predict you @ happy, prosperous future, and that within a few years you will rank away ahead of any of the eastern states and will be a state with two represeMtatives, and it may be three (unless congress is opposed to more Republican members). Well, I am glad to see you all here; I am glad ;that I have participated in ‘the cere- monies, and I'am sorry that you callea me out. (Prolonge’ applause).” “A copy of the speech was not avail- able in Bismarck, but was obtained from the files of the Tribune in the Minnesota State Library, through the work of the Librarian of. the North Dakota Historical Society, Miss Ella Hedrick. The hunt for an accurate record of the appearance of General Ulysses §. Grant at the laying of the corner stone of the Territorial Capitol here has emphasized to the State Historical Society here the importance of at- tempting to find files of the early papers published im the state. The file most desired is that of the Bismarck Tribune. It was the first paper published in North Dakota, and Col. Lounsberry, with a natural his- torical bent, recorded many facts that would have passed by the ordinary newspaper man. ei During the past week, Miss Ella Hedrick, ‘Librarian of the Historical Department has spent all her spare time attempting to ‘locate early time files of the paper. The present files iu the Historical department go back to 1889, the date North Dakota became a state, but much of the history of Bis- marck and Western ‘North Dakota was completed before that time. . Fires have destroyed all other known files of the paper in this state. MEMORIAL TO UNION LEAD ER IS DEDICATED (Continued from Page 1) * ureless sacrifices and the indescrib- able sorrows.

Wounds Had To Be Healed “Seemingly it was a long time in which to reestablish a cgnqueror s0 mon American soul, Grant, the great nationalist, who appraised union and nationality above all the frightful con- stant suffering, would rejoice to a¢- claim the republic of today*****, “We are today incontestably one people, with a common purpos2, uni- versal pride, nationwide confidence and one flag. * * * The contentions which ‘best us are not ours alone. They are not to be ignored but they have never halted the human progres- sion and will not hinder progress of this firmly. founded republic. “Grant was himself a supreme ex- ample of American jopportunity.

The equestrian portion of it is said to be exceeded in height only by the status. of Victor Emanuel in Rome. Fifteen years have ben re- quired to bring it to virtual comple- tion. The entire memorial which with to- day’s dedicatory ceremonies takes its place in the national capital with the soon-to-be-dedicated Lincoln memor- ial and the great monument which has stood for half a century as a mem- orial to Washington, is a beautiful work of art. prominence at the east end of the Bo- tanic ‘Gardens facing the Capitol grounds it has been approved by Au- gustus Saint Gaudens, Charles F, Mc- ‘Kim, Paniel © ‘French and other prominent American artists. The marble superstructure on which the various groups stand is 262 feet long, 69 feet deep and five feet above the ground. An equestrian statue of Grant stands on a high central pedes- tal at the west side facing the Wash- ington Monument and Lincoln memor- ialat the other end of th? Mall. Low- er pedestals at the north‘and south ends support massive groups of cav- alry and artillery, respectively. The infantry arm is to b2 presented“by bronze bas-reliefs to be placed on the sides of the main pedestal—this be- ing the only part not completed, Tho finished work presents an in- termingling of action and repose. At each end, upon the flanked exedras, are colossal groups of struggling men and horses in all tie” paraphernalia aad trappings of war. Tho group at the north end represents cavalry and the group at the south artillery. They face inward and picture a mad rush toward the center, across the wide stretch of marble that separates them from the mounted figure of the great commander in the center. The statue of Grant on horseback surveys it all. The military leader, as portrayed, wears the familiar slouch hat and military cloak of Civil War days. His pose is that of a reviewing officer and is said to ‘be a fine conception of that quiet keenness and resolution that marked the man. The giant bronze. horse partakes something of the life and action that rages in the artillery and cavalry groups and seems to emphasize the calmness of the rider. That impres- sion is heightened by the bas-reliefs of infantry designed for the sides of the pedestal on which he stands. One of these shows the foot troops in heavy marching order, trudging along doggedly on one of the forced marches that were part of their daily lives in the ‘sixties, and the other bas-relief shows the infantry in battle. At the four corners, near the base of the pedestal, are large bronze lions, couchant, emblematic of courage and strength. Each is protecting the Am- erican standard held in an out- stretchei paw. Around the super- structure are eight ornamental bronze candelabra. The cavalry and artillery groups have been in position for several months and have been the objects of considerable interest to artists tour- ists and the public generally. An idea of their size is conveyed by the state- ment that the cavalry group alone weighs 15 tons. Special artillery and cavalry drills were given at West Point Military Academy and other posts to aid the sculptor in the devel- opment of his designs for these arms.

Shrady, who died a few weeks ago, and Edward Pierce Casey, architect, of New York. The erection of the statue was authorized by Congress 21 years ago, but various causes contributed to the delay in the completion of the memorial. Chief of these was the strong opposition to the erection in the Botanic Gardens on the ground that the site was on the axis between tho Capitol, the Wash- ington monument and the Lincoln memorial. In October, 1907, contractors began making excavations for the. founda- tions of the memorial, but hardly had they started when an order from the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia stopped the work, requiring the contractors to show cause why they should not be enjoined from cut- ting down certain historic trees in clearing for the site. It was not until May, 1908, that the contractors were able to rosume work. The original contract called for the completion of the memorial within a period of five years, but it became ‘necessary to ex- tend that limit several times. The cost of the memorial is estimated at about $300,000. HAIR TO CONDUCT STRING OF BANKS IN MINNESOTA | Minot, April 27—D. C.
