COLUMBIAN WOMEN MEET.
StereOpticOn Lecture on America n
Sculpture by Miss Mechlin.

The last social meeting Of the Colum-
bian Women for the season of 1sO7-OS was
held at the residence OF Mrs. Charles W.
Richardson on Monday evening.
A StereOpt:cOn lecture on American
sculpture was given by Miss Leila Mech
lin. Miss Mechlin traced the growth Of
American sculpture from its first begin
nings in wax and wood. giving brief
outline OF the lives and works Of all our
sculptors from Greenough, the first man
in this country TO devote himself entirely
to the art, down TO St. Gaudens. the
greatest of them all, and others who are
working to-day, such as French, Mcneil
and Ward.
She spoke OF Washington as an unusu-
ally good place in which TO study the
growth of this art in America, as there
are so many examples here representing
all the periods OF American plastic art,
from the GreenOugh Washington. much
maligned and yet most interesting, be-
cause OF the fact OF its being the first
real work OF sculpture ever made by an
American, and the Clark Mills statue Of
Cen Jackson, the first American euues-
trian statue. down to the most recent ex-
amples in the lately erected statues.
She spoke also of the exhibition Of
american sculpture to be held in Balti-
more in the near future, the first thing
Of its kind TO be attempted. and of the
possibility that Washington might be for
tunate enough TO secure next winter the
st. Gaudens memorial collection. now on
exhibition in New York, for display in
the Corcoran Gallery of Art
At the conclusion OF the lecture a re-
ception was held, and the guests later

EARLY HISTORY
Interesting Paper Read at Meet
ing Of Old Settlers at Glad
stone on July 80

James G.. Campbell after a few intro.
ductory remarks to the, general effect
that after the lapse Of, years, in esti'
mating the extent of advances in popu.
lation, wealth and prosperity generally,
in any particular locality, it is we'll to
look back in the history Of. a place, and
to compare the advances made in the
year at some point in the. past with the
progress. since then till now.
For such purpose, he read an address
delivered by him ten years ago to a
former meeting of this society, as follows;
1.-THE Northern Pacific railroad
was completed to the place now call
ed Dickinson in the spring or sum
mer Of. 1881; and a station on said
road was established, there and
named Pleasant Valley. There wal
then no permanent settlement in this
county. There were no lands in the
county open to settlement under the
homestead or preemption laws-thel
being then .unsurveyed, but squat
ters' rights could be initiated. by
actual settlement and occupation
Substantially all the Inhabitants Of
the county consisted Of people con
nected- In some way with the business
Of said road and q few hunters
There.was then no. settled population
east nearer than Mandan;. on, the
west Glendive; on the south, -Nebras'
ka and on. the northst nothing this
side Of the North Polei - :.
The country vas then full of game,
Droves of buffalo feed on the prairie,
antelope in large bands, showed the
white Of their tails to human intru-
ders on their pastures, as in fear,
they bounded away in the direction
of the horizon. Deer and elk were
numerous; bears were occasionally
seen and the cayotes and wolves
made melancholy music in the still
ness of the night.
During the year 1881 a few people
arrived with a view of permanent
settlement and squatted. on Claims,
but it was not till the spring of 1882
that the tide of immigration fairly
set in.
The station at Pleasant Valley,
now Dickinson, had been made a
center of the division on the railroad
which, of itself, gave :prestige to
the place and it's name was changed
to Dickinson, named after Hon. w.
S. Dickinson, of Malone, N. Y. who
had invested largely in railroad lands
in the neighborhood and who in con.
junction with the railroad company
had planned the plating of a town
there: The plat was made4and lots
in ii, were put up for sala late in the
summer or early fall OF 1852.
In April and May: Of that year a
considerable body Of settlers arrived
at what was then knownsson the rec
ords and maps of the railroad, as
Green River station. They came
mostly under the auspices. of a corpo-
ration which had been organized at
Ripon, Wis, and known as the Chris
tian Colony Association. That cor.
poration, jointly with the railroad
company, plated a town, there and
called it Gladstone, after the "grand

ing a world wide reputation for lib
eral views embracing I'M their scope

The Dickinson press., 1908-08-08

AS prescribed, by act Of the legis-
lature Of 1879, this county extended
east and west, from the 1902 degree
Of the west longitude to the 103 and
from the Sioux reservation (near
whatais now the southern boundary
Of this state) to the ~ degree of
north latitude. That took in what is
now Hebron, in Morton county, on
the east, and to the neighborhoods of
South Heart on the west; all of what
is. now called Hettinger county on
the south and a strip, two miles wide
on the north now in Dunn county.
In the legislature OF 1885. our leg
islative district was represented by q
citizen of Mandan, and, at that SEES
sion, an act was passed cutting of
all Hettinger county-a territory
twice the size Of what was left to
us; also the two-mile strip now In
Dunn county, and a new county was
laid out between Stark and Billings;
named Willard county. b.. 49,.
In the legislature of 1887 Willard
county was stricken from the map
and divided between Billings and
Stark, carrying our line west Of Bel
field. The boundaries Of Morton
county were also extended on the
west to the line between ranges 80
and 81, thus placing Hebron in Nor
ton county.
The legislature Of. 1885 authorized
this county to raise, on an issue of
bonds, $4,000 for the purpose Of
building q court, house and jail, pro.
vided, that at an election, to be call
ed for that, purpose, q majority OF
the electors of the county should
vote in favor of it. An election was
held in the summer Of 1885 in which
the proposition was sustained. The
bonds wre issued and sold, and with
the proceeds, the handsome court
house and secure Jail we now possess
were built; and, I believe, without
any suspicion, on the part of anyone,
that there had been any rake of to
anyone. The square on which the
building stands was donated to the
county by the proprietors of the town
site.
Coal mining is extensively conduct
ed in the county. At Gladstone there

tending; the people are learning,
and have learned, how to adapt
themselves to and make the most of

lions and have an abiding hope of

ty in a greater Stark"
The foregoing address of ten years
ago gives a fair, though not as com
plete as it ought to be, idea of the
advances made between the spring of
1882 and ten years ago when our
whole county had a total population
of only 5000 people. Now the city of
Dickinson alone, has that many in
habitants, and the other towns and
villages and the rural communities
have been increasing in the same pro-
portion, and all around about us, in

diately prior to said first settlement,

room for many thousands more)

whom all blessings flow and to go on
