answers he gives to questions he is
asked when he returns to his former
home to pack up TO move to Dickinson.
"How large is Dickinson?
"Its population numbers fully 5000.
probably more, and recent statistics
place it the fifth city in the state in the
number of school children"
"What is the general appearance of
Dickinson"
Dickinson is compactly built city of
fine new brick business blocks heated
from central heating plant, of beautiful
homes, of well-graded, well-lighted and
well-shaded streets, with smooth cement
walks extending to all sections; a city
with good water works and sewage
systems; city where streets and side
walks are full of people with something
to do. There are no vacant stores or
vacant dwellings,"
"What did you ascertain as to the
health of the city?"
"The elevation is 2,43o feet in the
downtown district, the air is pure and
there is an abundance of sunshipe-more
than we get in the eastern states. The
city is kept clean and the water-works
and sewage systems insure against dis
ease. The death rate is only TX per
1000 inhabitants, which is less than other
cities of the state and less than eastern
cities"
"You looked up the educational facil-
ities?"
"Yes, and found that Dickinson has
put one of the strongest educators in the
state at the head of her schools. The
work being done is equal to that in many
much larger cities. Music and drawing
are taught by special teacher, and
individual laboratory work is a feature
of the science teaching. Besides the
graded and high schools, which employ
20 teachers, there is good parochial
school in charge of the Sisters Of St.
Benedict, and the Dickinson Business
College, where the young people Of Dick
inson and vicinity can secure a. good
business training without the expense Of
going away from home

Mr.. Carnegie to donate a building, and
site has been provided. Itonly remains

The halt-tone pictures which accom-
pany this article are very suggestive.
The six-column cut at the. top of the
page shows the Dickinson of today, com.
pactly built. with fine buildings, fine
trees and general appearance of thrift
that impresses the beholder with the
idea that Dickinson is all right"
A contrast, indeed, is the picture of
Dickinson IS years ago when the en-
bryo city consisted of handful of frame
buildings and bales of buffalo hides.
1t is noticeable fact that no matter
by what train the traveller approaches
Dickinson, there is general stir in Pull
man, tourist, day coach and smoker, and
general preparation for leaving the train.
No such stir at Jamestown, Mandan and
Bismarck. But no need to travel further
for this is Dickinson" the best city for
hundreds of miles around.
The visitor at once notices the extern
sive Improvements the Northern Pacific
railroad is making at Dickinson and
rightly reasons that Dickinson must be
of considerable and growing importance
when this conservative old line will
spend such large sums in permanent
improvements. The imposing new $35,-
600 depot speaks for itself, and ques-
ton or two brings out the fact that the
company has the past year erected q
sky-scraping coal dock-the second in
the Dickinson yards-and doubled the
capacity of the round-house, and that the
ten and one-half miles of side-track, with
capacity of 100 cars, are not nearly
adequate to handle Dickinson's out going
and incoming freight. He learns that
the new passenger depot leads the way
for a large freight depot, new wool
warehouse of adequate size, re-arrange-
ment of tracks and laying out of beauti-
full depot grounds.
In leaving the depot, the visitor will
not fail to notice the extensive lumber
yards-two east and two west piled
high with building material, which indi-
Gates demand and shows that he has
come to growing city.
Elevators. too, occupy the right Of way
east and west and our visitor learns that
the present number are but drop in
the bucket to the needs of the country
a country it was formerly claimed could
not produce grain. but which produced
in 1907, 274,5oo bushels.
Across the street from the depot the
line of substantial brick stores and banks,
made of the beautiful Dickinson pressed
brick, the hotels and opera house look
good indeed to the new conner. He
finds, too, that brick mercantile buildings
are found on the second and third streets
north and on several connecting streets
and in South Dickinson, as well, and he
decides that Dickinson is more of city,
commercially, than he imagined.
The visitor, who is looking for good
business opening and a home for himself
and family, thoroughly canvasses the
situation. The following are some ofthe

Harry Brown, of Lancaster, own it

five hundred feet above the river,
and an immense amount of magni-

is an especially beautiful place and
also has great historic value, it be-
ing the first place that Father Mar

Journey down the Wisconsin. There
are many Indian mounds and other
objects of interest on the farm and
as the selling price is very reason

good policy for the state to buy it.

RYAN RoMANCES.

teeman, is cheering the dropping
spirits of party comrades there with
pleasant tales about progressive"

over the failure of the Chicago con-
Vention to invest in some of Bob's

of them will vote the democratic

enough to take seriously these
Ryan fantasies may be referred for
correction to Mr.. La Follette's first
mate, Mr.. Cochems, who laughs at
such yarns as the 'sheerest foolish
ness, !" as of course they are.

Vile where they play Wednesday and
Thursday. On Friday they meet
the swift Benton bunch, and the next
day play at Galena. The next games
in this city are with Viroqua on the

Tom Kennedy made hit with his
coaching during the Highland game.
It seems that the gentleman cannot
be induced to 'go into" vaudeville.
Hauser, who has been playing
with the Gary team made his first ap-
pearance with the locals Friday. He
looks good to the fans.
The attendance was large all last
week. The largest crowds of the
week, however, witnessed the Platte
Vile and Highland games.
When "Biddy' Madden gets on
first, which he does mighty often, Its
safe bet that he will score.
"Biddy" is the most clever base run
ner in this section.
Jack Palmer kept up his lively
work on the coaching lines all week,
showing several runs over the plate.
Tommy Fox has joined the Ga
lena team and caught his first game
with them for the season on Saturday.
