Here is a partial list of the things it will contain: Both the Vulgate and King James versions of the bible; the declaration of independence and the constitutions of the United States and of North Dakota; the ennabling act of Feb. 22, 1889, which permitted North Dakota to organize as a state and the procla- mation admitting the state to the} union, dated Nov. 2, 1889; a list of the names of all territorial officers and legislators and of state officers and legislators down to the present; copies of newspapers and samples of current coins and stamps; photo- graphs of the old capitol building and a sketch of the new one; biographies of the capitol commissioners; photo- Static copies of the Bismarck Tri- bune's editions of September, 1883, describing the original cornerstone | laying; current issues of North Da- kota daily newspapers and of repre-} sentative outside newspapers; a group- ed picture of the members of the constitutional convention; photostatic copies of articles dealing with the} history of locating the capital in- cluding a version given to M.

Mrs. John P. Dunn Tells How Deception Was Effected For Decoration Evidence of a growing civic pride in Bismarck as early as 1883 is of- fered by Mrs. John P. Dunn, 208 Third St., who recollects that for the first cornerstone laying ceremonies trees were placed on either side of the drive to the capitol in such a fashion that the visitors would be- lieve they grew there naturally. These had been taken from the woods along the river the previous day by a man known as “Farmer Wallace,” and placed in shallow holes filled with water. To further add to the effect, Farmer Wallace had tied apples to the boughs of a number of the trees, which were chiefly cottonwood, elm and box el- der! Mrs. Dunn, with a friend, drove to the capitol hill with her own horse and buggy for the celebration, but because of the throng which had gathered throughout the morning, was unable to approach near the Speakers’ stand. She remembers the day as a warm one for September, with a brisk wind. So windy did it become before the speeches were over, she says, great clouds of dust from the capitol ex- cavations were rolling over the crowd. The days just before the celebra- tion were great ones for the children of the town, Mrs. Dunn said.

Mrs, Allen will accompany him: The’ invitation recalled events of Sept. 5, 1883, to Mr. Allen, who says: “I attended the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the old state capi- tol. At that time I was working on a farm near Steele that summer, and was one of about 35 men who made up the Steele delegation. Each per- son wore @ silk ribbon bearing the words, ‘Steele Delegation,’ the rib- bons being furnished by Col. Wilbur F. Steele, owner of the Steele Town- site. “The Northern Pacific train came through Steele before daylight and we reached Bismarck about 8 o'clock in the morning. The colonel took us all over to the Merchants’ hotel and {paid for our breakfast. Later we marched in a body from Main street to the capitol grounds, A delegation of Indians from Fort Yates were in the parade and there also were some wild cowboys. “That day I saw many of the na- tion’s public men, among them Gen- eral U. 8, Grant, William M. Evarts, Carl Shurs and others.

Coulter Recalls Sioux Indian Dance Preparations for placing the cor- nerstone of the new capitol building reminds J. A. Coulter of Dawson that he was present for the celebration of the laying of the old cornerstone and for events which followed. In a letter to Mrs. Florence H. Da- vis, Ubrarian for the state historical society, Mr. Coulter says: “I attend- ed the Indian dance given in the old ‘Whitney opera house in the evening after the cornerstone laying. The opera house has been torn down now to make room for modern structures, but many old-timers will recall the old building. “Sitting Bull presided at this dance with a dignity befitting the chief medicine man of the Sioux tribes. He sold his photos that eve- ning for 25 cents each. I have one now among my treasured relics.” Depression Is Still On We will put on leather or rubber heels FREE for every pair of shoes dyed or reglazed.

Cash in With a The Tribune Want Ads By Williams ORWILLAMS, Eavied, tc 10-5 pa By eyes of a North American was the! jtitle of an address given before the} j Rotary club here Monday by Miss | Helen Vaile, director of religious edu- | cation for the Presbyterian church of Bismarck, Miss Vaile told of her experiences} in Brazil as a delegate to the World! Sunday School convention in Rio de| Janeiro in July. ! More than 900 delegates from all parts of the world attended the con-} vention, the United States having the | largest foreign representation. Miss Vaile described the customs, ; architecture of Rio de Janeiro. Nes- tled in the base of the mountains, the Brazilian capital is the most beautiful city in the world, she said. Brazil has more contacts with Eu- ropean countries than the United States and imports more European goods. Products from the United States are sold, however, and automo- biles from this country are in pre- dominance. During the time of the convention, ! Brazil was in the grip of revolution | and student riots. Political unrest was reflected in foreign exchange and the dollar carried three times its nor- mal purchasing power. The musical feature at the meeting was provided by a quartet which sang the first verse of the North Dakota hymn. In the quartet were Dr. L. W. Larson, A. J. Arnot, A. R. Tavis and Burt Finney. H. J. Duemeland was leader and Clarion Larson accompan- ist. H. W. Payne was program chair- man. Visitors were M. E. McCurdy, Fargo; H. 8. Russell and H. W. Lanterman, Mandan; 8. Henry, Valley City; and E.
