Grand l^orks Plaifldettler: There is a'
well founded rumor afloat that Co.
qf the N. D. N. F. will trouble Gfand
Forks 4k nferer For *sev%kl1 jtears the
company has tried to induce the: citi
zens oi tlie city, tdi ered: an armory but
have received oo .encowragenuent.
-Aif the equipment belonging to the
company has- "been ordered returied
and will be sent "at onci to Bismarck,
•the city ^ing.^: Enable ^]tp support a
company, *'^t hough, steattise as it may
seem, twelve other companies are sup
ported by various towns throughout the
state.
Several, tOwiM ih the state have
made offers toi Bismarck to erect a
suitable place to- -drill in, while others
have offered to tuvild an,armory. Graf
ton, Jamestown, Fargo, Wahpeton,
Langddn, Hillsboro and many other
smaller towns have, a company that is a
credit to a town ^nd there is no rea
son whatever that if the proposition gets
into the .tight hands in time, Grand
Forks will have an armory before the
new yearf ....
A' new e^uiprnerit?1ias been sent to
every company. ia th^ state \yith| the'
exception of Co! which has no place
lo put the n^'A'' equipment and' conse
'quently cannot get it. The authorities
at Bismarck will hold the goods for a
reasonable length of time and then de
anind' the commissions of the local of
ficers and then .Co. will trouble the
city no morfe,
One of the United States officers
^t Bishiarck reirtArked that it was a
deplorable condition that a city ot
fuieh a size should surrender its com
pany.
The national encompment will take
place within the'-'next three years and
it will be certainly a disgrace when
all the companies leave the state to
have. Co. go from sortie little burg
In making this surrender the city will
virtually have given up its right to
be ranked as one of the foremost cities
of the state.
The statement has been made by some
of the cilizehS: '"Why don't Cb. do
something ?"r
"What carl Co.' do?" may be 'asked.
All the members of Co. are hard work
ing young men, self supporting, while
other members are striving hard for an
education. Now is it reasonable to sup
pose that these young men can build an
armory? Or would it be right and
proper that they should? Over forty
young men belong to this organiza
tion, and all are willing to work hard
in drill so as to be a credit to the city
and more than this .they are willing to
offer their lives for the sake of their
country, and silrely mofley canpot b,uy
lives. All this. should -be tftken into
consideration and at once/ Co.
willing to do its part.
Should the chief executive or any
other official of the'nation firid it con
venient at any time to visit this city
it would indeed be deplorable if there
was no company here to welcome in
a manner such as their high Maiiding
demands.

IMPROVEMENTS.!

the state the weather could not be more
advantageous for contractors and the
structures which they have in hand
and which their clients ,Want finished

nearing completion, the four story
Robb-Lawrence machinery warehouse*
and offices 100x140 feet,, the half of
which is to be the home of a .whole
sale hardware company which withifi "a
year has outgrown the quarters rented
and which it \Vas thought would do for
several years, but as a matter of fact
the firm is greatly embarrassed for want
of room to transact its business prop
erly. The occupants will have railroad
trackage which will facilitate in coming
and outgoing shipments. Commodious,
handsomely designed modern resi
dences, respectively for Hon. L. B. Han
na and Dr. J. H. Rindlaub are under
way, the former nearing completion.
The latter will not be completed until
next season. A parsonage for the min
ister of the First Congregational Church
only a few feet away {rom the sacred
edifice will soon be ready for occupancy.
It is admirably Jocated in the heart of
the residence district on the southside
of the city'and about twenty other
houses are in course of erection. The
contractor,1 in charge of extensive im
provements and additions to the Cass
County courthouse, is pushing the work
as rapidly as pbssible. Included in the
improvements are a court room, library
and retiPing-fo'oms for the state supreme
court. In finishing and appointments
the commissioners liave designed that
the court room shall' be without a peer
in the state! In the line of small
buildings and residences there are a
number going up and if only the pro
jected electric street railwav Was in
operation it staggers one to think of the
large number of small residences
which would be ordered.
Regarding an interesting subject
The Improvement Bulletin quotes a Du
luth real estate investor as follows:
Prices of matehial and labor in«st
come down or rents must go up to
make improvements on property a pay
ing proposition. As the rents are now
at a figure where they can hardly go
any higher, the cost of erecting the
buildings must come down." There
are many other cities where the same
thing applies.
The same exchange also says I edi
torially, "There is something significant
in the statements occurring through the
country of different.buildings projected,
and deferred until spring "because it
will be cheaper then." There is likely
to he some little shrinkage in the cast
of materials, but nothing very marked,
and any cheapening in the cost of build
itigexeept in a-minor per cent, will.be
in the item of labor: Labor's demands
through the country are being combat
ed as never before, and a painful sur
prise is in store for the business agents
who seem to think that all now required
is to name their desire atid hive it
granted."
Throughout the state generally The
Bulletin in its classified lists of differ
ent classes of buildings and impfove
merits continues' to report progress in
all lines.
At Grand Forks the contract has been
let for the basement to a Y.' M. C. A.
building the total cost of which is to
be Upwards of $40,000. A substantial
move has also been made towards the
erection of a" still more pretentious one
in Fargo. The promoters will exhaust
every effort to have the new structure
ready for the winter season a year from
nOu\
There is something doing in tlie way
of the erection of little red school
houses, two near Coal Harbor, one at
Denhoff, three near Flasher and -a build
ing dignified as, an academy is under
way at New Rockford.
Activity is also noticed in the line of
business buildings. At Jamestown .con
tractors are busy on one for The Alert
and H. M. Taber. Brick »iid frame
structures afe also under way at Mo
hall, New Salem, Nome, .Edgfeley, Wil
liston and Litchville. At the later
iplace a: briclc blo^haw beeh^ deferred
until spring.
Under the head of churches the
foundation for a Presbyterian house of
worship is under way at Langdon. At
Bowbells the Danish Lutherans have or
dered a building and the foundation for
a Catholic Church at Donnybrook has
been begun and the cornerstone has
been laid for an Episcopal mission
church at Rugby.
In residences work is in progress on
structures at Bisbee, Litchville, Valley
City, Donnybrook, Caftington, Barlow,
Buffalo, Tower City and Sheldon.
