POSTP0NES VISIT
SICKNESS IN FAMILY MAKES IT
IMPOSSIBLE FOR SAMUEL
HILL TO COME.
Will Make Proposed Visit Later in
the Season-'s With His Family in
Warrington.

State Engineer Atkinson informs the
Tribune that he has received word
from Mr.. Samuel Hill that it will be
impossible for him to make the visit
to Bismarck that he had planned for
this month. Some members Of Mr.
Hills family are ill and his own
health is not the BEST The visit has
not been called off entirely but will
be made later in the season.
Mr. Hill is a man who has gained
a national reputation as a road build
er and is a man who has taken up
the work, not from mercenary mo-
tives, but from a desire to see the
country benefited. The advice that
he will give when he is able to visit
Bismarck will be of inestimable value
in improving the highways Of the
country.
