Cornell of Fulton, N- Y., Paper Tells of Changes in Bismarck Under the caption “What YouGan | From a Pullman Car,” Frank M. Cornell, editor of the Fulton, N. Y., Patriot, has writter. an interest- ing description of his visit this sum- mer to Bismarck and Mandan. The article is the fifth of a series now} appearing in the Fulton paper and dealing with the editor's trip west- ward. 3 Mr. Cornell’s story of ‘his visit here follows: RTS | Leaving the wheat fields of North) Dakota, we entered the city of Bis- marck, the capitol of North Dakota. ; On our former trip to this place, in the capacity of a newspaper syndi-} cate reporter, it was a city of about 3,000, and all the population, from the kids to grandpa and grandma! were born hustlers, and all on their job. With one or two exceptions, it was a town of frame buildings. The state capitol building was: aj mile out of town and was “built on contract.” Fine looking from the} outside, but in a North Dakota three-day zephyr demonstration — that unkind people in the effete east | designate as a blizzard, it was alto- | gether too porous, and the wind) blew the snow through crevices i the architecture, to the discomfort | of the legislators and others who had to attend the daily sessions, Many Changes Noted But today it is all changed—for the better. Destructive fires, that have a liking for frame buildings, had visited the city and devoured) the original structures, and in their | places have arisen some of the finest, steel, brick, stoneandconcrete build- ings that be found in a city. The streets are wide and well paved. ‘The electric company furnishes both power and light and the hum of in- dustry and business is everywhere apparent. In place of a population of 3,000, there were over 10,000. The city is a great distributing point for the north and south country. . Two million-dollar bridges span the Mis- souri river — one for the Northern Pacific railroad and the other for vehicles and passengers. And we were informed the second growth of Bismarck is more steady and con- ‘tinuous. Passi Lt shoaad mammoth station of the Northern Pacific and winding along the river bank, a sudden curve is made and our train moves out. onto the railroad bridge, from level ground, with high mountains on our right, while 125 feet below is the river. Years ago, after crossing the bridge proper, the trains ran over five miles of wooden trestle work facross the lowlands of the river to reach Mandan. All this has been filled in and a solid roadbed is the result. The Mandan ‘Yards’ As the train moves along, we ob- serve that we are entering a net- work of tracks, starting from a few switch-tracks, and they continue to increase and broaden out and the trainmen inform us we are entering the Mandan yards. Well are they so-called “yards,” as they are about a mile wide and three miles in length and numerous switch engines are busy making up trains for all points north, south and west. We arrive at the Mandan station and leave the train. Formerly, Ma dan was a “shanty railroad tow: but now it is a real-to-goodness cit of 7,500 pevpie and numerous bu ness blocks, churches, society buil ings and hotels. Talking about h tels, as nee leave the depot park, you are brought face to face the Lewis-Clark hotel. It is a mi lion-dollar structure and modern in every respect. You would think you would have no trouble getting a ropm there, but on the day we land- ed, July 4th, not a room or cot i the hall was available.

To say that it was wonderful is a very mild statement, that would not be toler- ated in that country. The cowboys and cowgirls were masters of the art of riding, either in the saddle or bareback. Wild horses and cattle meant nothing to them.
