and convenience of the patients. There
are two surgical wards two sick
wards, operating room, physicians'
offices and about fifty rooms for pa
tents The new building was dedicat-
ed April IA, 1908. The hospital is un-
der the care of the Sisters of Mercy
and while all are expected to pay for
care received, none are turned away
because they are too poor to pay.
The sick Of all creeds, the rich and
the poor alike are welcome to the care
and shelter Of the institution and the
alienation of suffering and pain that
has been brought to the door of the
people of Devils Lake and the county
has done much to encourage people to
locate in our midst. The hospital is
the especial pride OF the people of the
community regardless Of creeds and
faith and Protestants vie with Catho-
lies IN their fidelity to it. The sick
stranger finds friends and welcome
and all who seeek an asylum, find with
in it's walls care, skill and the very
best of treatment
Some of the best and most produc-
tive land in the western states is to be
found on the Indian reservation,
When the president affixed his sigma
ture to the proclamation authorizing
the sale Of lands in the Devils Lake
Indian Reservation, the final act was
done which opened to the people one
of the most valuable tracts of land in
the Unitetd States. 1t provided for
the settlement of the territory, while
small, valuable beyond any other In
dian reservation in the entire country
because it Is a territory not only pos
sessing one Of the richest soils to be
found In the west, but because it Is
the very center of one of the Oldest
settled and most substantial sections
of North Dakota So much has been
said of the great advantages of the
territory that they are familiar to our
readers but not so possibly to those
outside Of the state and who may de-

Of course, had never been cultivated
until few years ago, but previous to
, the cultivation of the land by those
who were lucky to draw a homestead
on the reservation, there was an
abundance of rich grass and since the

the upbuilding Of fine substantial bust
nesses and have invested their money
freely in making their stores and
places OF business as attractive as DOS
sible and the strangers visiting the
city quite often remark what fine bust
ness interprizes for such a small place
and it is indeed true. Their stocks are
the most complete and in fact are
equalled by few merchants in the
state.
The city Is well equipped with edu-
cational facilities and hundreds of
children each year have the privilege
OF attending one of the finest schools
In the state, and just recently on ao-
count of it's merit and high standing
as an institution Of learning it has
been classed as one of the five leading
schools Of North Dakota, being put on
the same basis with Grand Forks and
Fargo. The high school is equipped
with the best available facilities and
the faculty engaged each year has al
ways been of the highest standard and
the great number of students attend
ing the school from outside of the
city speaks we'll for the advancing fea-
lures Of the school.
Devils Lake is also well provided for
along lines of Christianity, for here
are several of the best equipped and
finest churches Of the state and before
long there will be one or more addi-
tional churches erected in the city
that will tend to elevate the classes in
christian teaching. The pastors Of
these churches are painstaking and are
constantly laboring to do good for
strangers coming to the city and in
deed their doors are always open to
those looking for spiritual comfort
Here we have the Catholic church
which Is one Of the most magnificent
structures Of it's kind in the North
west The building is pressed brick
and is finished with the best material
available and the interior decorations
are some of the finest ever put into a
building Of this class. The city is also
provided with a Presbyterian church
and it has a good following in this
city and its pastor is one Of those men
who never tire Of doing for others and
has fine congregation selected from
all classes Of the city. The Norwegian
Lutheran church and the Methodist
Episcopal church are also represented
and each Of them have goodly sized
congregation and their pastors have
done much for the spiritual develop
ment of the city and have been great
aids to strangers coming to Devils
Lake.

celled for generosity simplicity and
endowed with a spirit for doing good
to all and harm towards none. Here
will be found classes from all nations,
from the rocky shores of Maine, from
the Orient, from sunny Italy, from
France and Germany There are a
number Of Scandinavians and thew
have done much for the prosperity and
continued growth of the town. Here
also will be found the ancestors of the
sturdy sons of the Emerald Isle, num-
bers of whom are the leading business
people Of the city Strangers can
come to Devils Lake and they are as
sured they will find classes to suit
them. Here are the wealthy classes,
the middleman and the laborer, all 60
ing hand in hand for the upbuildng Of
this little paradise of ours. Untiring
effors are exhibited here every day in
the year and as the golden sun rises in
the morning in the eastern horizon
some new project has been started and
some new business has advanced in
magnitude, some new people have
come to the city to make their home,
and some new enterprises are started.
Wonderful things are done here every
day in the year. The furthering of the
city is not stopped in the severest
weather that we have While the bis
tering winds Of the cold winter days
are fleeing across the prairies and
while the burning sun Of the hot sum-
mer days is casting it's piercing rays
upon the earth, progress Of the city is
advancing, buildings are finding their
way up through the heavens, every
body in the city Is alert, there is
general hustle and hustle and the
scrambling for supremacy is great
Great things are being done here every
day and Devils Lake is surely alive.
Here is also located the Mercy Sis
i ters' hospital which is one Of the pub
lie institutions Of which the city is
justly proud, and which brings to the
people Of the county all the advantages
! to be derived from care, skill and con-
venience in cases of sickness. The in
stitution was founded about thirteen
years ago and was for some time con-
Quoted in a frame building in the
southeast part Of the city. The grow
ing popularity Of the institution soon
made it imperative to move to more
commodious quarters and as result
the present building was planned, the
corner stone Of which was laid June g.,
1902. It is three-story brick with
basement, situated on a beautiful To-
cation on the outskirts of the city. 1t
has all the modern conveniences with
steam heat, electric lights, electric
bells, water system, sewerage and
everything necessary for the comfort

STARTLING FACTS
ON FACE SUICIDE
------------------- -----------------
If Decrease in Birth Rate Keeps
On for Century and Half
Will be No Children.
DECLARES PROF. w. F. WILCOX
Statistics Also Show Marriage Is Less
Common Among College. Gradu-
.s, atcs Than Among Others.

Ithaca, n. ", Nov. 25.--"During the
period from 1860 to 1900 the proportion
,, of children to 1000 women Of child
bearing age decreased in the United
States by 152, or an average of about
30 in each decade. If we assume that
the change will continue unchecked for
q century and 4 half in the direction
in which it has been in progress for
the last 40 years there will be no chill
dren.''
This startling statement came out in
the lecture on birth and birth rate de-
livered by Prof. Walter f. Wilcox in
the course OF sanitary science in Gold
win Smith hall yesterday. Let me not
be understood as predicting the contin-
uancc OF this movement" continued
Prof. Wilcox, "but often the best meth
cd of bringing home to yourselves the
vast sweep and significance of the
changes revealed by statistics, is to
project them into the future and see
whittier they lead. 1t is one of the
main duties of statistics to point out
the whirlpools in the stream along
which society IS gong, peloieg Tie STip-
of the current becomes irresistible and
thus to arouse desire to change the
course.
1.-THE true reason for the fall in the
birth rate is that in modern times,
mainly within the last half century,
births and the birth rate have come
under the control of human will and
choice IN a sense and to a degree never
before true.
sour leading American authority, DR..
John Shaw Billings, put it as follows:
".The most important factor in the
mast in the change is the deliberate and
voluntary avoidance or prevention on
the part of steadily increasing NUM-
iber OF married people who prefer to
have but few children. Before this
change began the birth OF a child in
the vast majority of cases was not
an indication of a deliberate prefer
ence for that result on the part of both
| or either of the parents.
.'rhere is not single one among the
| experts who denies that this Is the
great underlying cause of the modern
decline in the birth rate of all civilized
communities
Prof WILCOX also gave statistics to
show that marriage is less common
among college graduates of both sexes
than it is in the average of the entire
| population. The figures regarding the
birth rate among college graduates
show that the highly educated part OF
the American people not only does not
increase the population at all, but on
the contrary, fails to reproduce itself.
