Attorney Alvin Waggoner, one

of Philip, has been in the city all
of the past week attending court,
where he and his partner, Mr..
Philip, have been retained on

garding the political situation Mr..
Waggoner replied that he had
nothing to say. He stated, how
ever, that from his standpoint,
after giving the matter consider
able study, Fort Pierre is just now
in position where she can step
out and take the lead over all other
cities in this part Of the state by
opening up the natural gas basin
which lies underneath us, and

The entire building is heated
with hot water day and night, it Is
supplied with city water and gas
and is wired for electricity. The
plumbing in the building is up to
date in design and is 50 arranged
that all gases from the sewer and
pipes leading to the sewer escape
outside of the building, and it is
impossible for foul odors to return
into any part of it. The ventila-
tion of every room is perfect and
every room is so situated that the
sunlight enters during somo part
of the day.
This fine institution is under tho
able management of Mrs. N. A.
Douglass, who is we'll known
throughout this section of the
state IS one of the most progress
i've and talented women in the
Northwest. For 4 number of
years Mrs. Douglass has had this
hospital in mind, and has travelled
and studied in several of the large
cities and hospitals of tho United
States, with the object in view of
giving to the people of Stanley
and Lyman counties the benefit of
mature knowledge and investias-
ton.
The superintendent of nurses,
Miss Minnie D. Rhodes, is . grad
uate nurse of wide experience in
institutional work, and promises to
make for herself and the Fort
Pierre hospital an enviable rsp-
utation.
The best business interests in
and around Fort Pierre are sup
porting the hospital and are per-
sonally interested in its success;
prominent among the stockholders
are: William H. Frost, Manuel
Sylva, Scotty Philip, Mrs. Alice
Cavanaugh, +. B. Davis, L. e.

Robertson Bros, Fred 8. Rowe,
Mrs. A. w. Barker, Fischer Bros,
John Hayes, Michael Dunn and

physicians or surgeons in connec-
tion with the Fort Pierre hospital,
and patients are at liberty at al

clan or surgeon to attend them.

which is undoubtedly one Of the
largest natural gas fields in the
world. Mr.. Waggoner came from
a country where he has seen good

with no other inducement except
the cheap fuel and power afforded

have better opportunity to build
up a manufacturing center here
than any other point in the state.

Freight Rates West of
Missouri

The matter of freight rates west
of the Missouri river will not
down. Warren Young of Fort
Pierre, chairman of the executive
committee of the state federation
of commercial clubs, has been in
vestigating the matter very recent
ly. He finds upon application for
the published tariff schedules that
the general freight agents are
ready to furnish such schedules
for that part of the state east of
the river, but that thus far no rates
have been published for the terri
tory west of the river. Such rates
are, however, just about to be
published. In this connection it
is interesting to recall that the
new lines west of the Missouri
have been 'just about to PUBLISH
their rates for several months.
Meanwhile the people pay the
freight. Ofcourse, we understand
that it takes some time to get these
things adjusted. But we believe
the railroads ought to hurry mat
ters along as much as possible.
for there is grave danger that they
may in many instances be accept
ing a much lower freight rate than
they would have a right to accept
under published schedule subject
to the inspection of the state board
of railroad commissioners. The
railroads ought always to be care
full regarding their rights.
