HOSPITAL I
SLocATED
On Commanding Eminence, Two
Blocks From Water Tower.
Bishop Here. Sisters Sc
cured. Work Starts.

The site for the new Sisters hospital
was definitely settled Thursday evening
at the Commercial Club room where Rt.
Rev. Bishop Wherle of the Bismarck
diocese met the business men of the
city.
When it was announced to the Bishop
that the site on the commanding emf
nence two blocks west of the water
tower was the choice of the hospital
committee. he seemed very much graft
fed. Bishop Wherle asked if that was
the choice of the subscribers and friends
present and when assured that such was
the case. he said that he was glad for it
was his preference and Rev. Fr. Dignam
concurred in the same
Geo. M. Frye, president of the COM
mittee, left for Minneapolis on Friday
to make final arrangements with James
C. Young for the block. The property
has been held at about 81, 900 but it is
believed that Mr. Young will make lib
eral concessions in view of $50. 900
hospital which is to be erected thereon.
Bishop WherIe will have plans for the
basement at once so that excavation
can be commenced early in October. the
plan being to have modern 40-bed
hospital completed within a year.
Dickinson brick will be used and the
structure will be absolutely fire proof.
The people are donating $12. 500,
which money is to be applied on con-
tract work as needed by Trustee W. L.
Richards. The balance of the money
will be provided for by the Sisters.
Bishop Wherle has secured Franciscan
Sisters from Piffin. Ohio. and it is likely
that the Sisters Superior will be here
early in the spring to make such
arrangements as may be needed. At
least four of the Sisters will come when
the hospital is ready.
| 1t is believed that the Beneficiary AS
sociation of the N. P. will want TO ar
range for one ward in the hospital for
railroad patients, as has been the GUS
tom at other important points along the
line.
At the meeting Thursday night the
following advisory committee. to act
in the location and construction OF the
hospital. was named: Geo. M. Frye,
president; DR.. v. H. Stickney Alder

sUP1. DAVIS IN DICKINSON

J.9 Davis, division superintendent
of Y State II. Coast Line and bran
ches betr~- -1A1storica, g. "armarth.
with headquarters as ~ Society in
Dickinson last Saturday on trip " in
spection. Mr.. Davis was accompanied
by J. E Phelan, president Of the First
National bank at Bowman and Mar
marth, also president of the Western
Lumber & Grain Co., with lumber yards
and grain elevators at various points on
the Milwaukee south.
Mr.. Phelan recently returned from
Chicago where he marketed trainload Of
cattle, and he took Supt. Davis out to
see the country between the Milwaukee
and the Northern Pacific.
Supt. Davis said the steel on the Can
non Ball branch of the Milwaukee was
being laid at the rate of IN miles pei
day and if they had favorable weather
he thought the line would easily be into
New England in six weeks.
The development of the country be-
tween Dickinson and the Cannon Ball
river was surprise to Mr.. Davis, but
when asked regarding the prospect of his
company extending a north branch from
New England to this city he would no,
say further than that he was satisfied
that our people wanted the road to come
in and his road would be clad to con.
slider the matter at the proper time.
It is certainly reasonable to expec,
that the Milwaukee people will be build
ing into Dickinson within a few years.
It will likely take the company another
year to complete some of the heavy worl
projected on the Sioux reservation il
South Dakota, but that will not preven
this progressive road from shooting thei
line north if the directors feel the rieh
time has come.

It was necessary for four to pass the

HIGGINS FAMILY MOVE
TO ASHLAND, OREGON

Mr.. and Mrs. C. F. Higgins and two
daughters, Florence and Geraldine, have
their berths engaged for No. to star
on the 2Sth for Ashland, Oregon. where
they will spend the winter and possibly
locate permanently. They will not be
entirely among strangers, as they have
been in correspondence with MIR. and
Mrs. E. E. Cook there for some time. It
is hoped that the change will be benefi-
cial to Mr.. Higgins health.
''Lum' Higgins came to Dakota Ter
ritory from Texas with the o x cattle
outfit about the year 1886 and for many
years followed the range business in
this section of the country. During the
early nineties he met with serious ac-
cident, breaking his leg above the knee.
He was riding the range in the vicinity
of Slim buttes. us to 125 miles south
of Dickinson. A. little snow had fallen
the day before leaving the range in a
very slippery condition. Mr.. Higgins
was taken to the old E ranch, dis
tance of Is miles. and rider was dis
patched to Dickinson with all possible
haste to summon Dr.. Stickney. arriving
here at o'clock the morning following
the accident. DR.. Stickney was used
to forced drives of this k lind and no one
could make better time than he over the
boundless prairies. but when he reached
the Big Nasty country he experienced
trouble with the team and it was 48
hours after the accident before he
reached his patient. The break was a
bad one, the bones protruding from the
flesh, and it seemed as though ampu-
tation was the only hope, but the patti
ent said he would rather die than lose
the limb. DR.. Stickney made two more
trips to the E and in six weeks MIR.
Higgins was able 10 leave his ranch
hospital quarters.
MIR. and Mrs. Higgins were married II
years ago, Mrs. Higgins maiden name
being Emily McClements. Mrs Higgins
parents were residents near Richardton
for many years and before her marriage
she was engaged in teaching school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Higgins have many
friends in Western North Dakota who
regret their removal from Dickinson,
where they have resided so long. Their
home on First Ave. w. is to be occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. M. E. Hall Of the local
telephone exchange.

Supt. L. R. Waldron, to represent the
farmers of Starr county. and A. q.
Heaton to represent the business men of
Dickinson have been elected as dele
oates to the Dry Farming Congress at
Spokane on October SO.
The selection will certainly meet with

rest assured that these delegates will
most creditably represent their part of
the state.
The Northern Pacific Ry. Co. was kind
enough to send an invitation to Presi-
dent W. R. Everett to have the men,
bers of the Dickinson Commercial Club
select two delegates, whose fare going
and coming. together with dining and
Pullman car privileges. are absolutely
free.
At the regular meeting of the club
Wednesday evening President Everett
appointed Geo. M. Frye, Frank Lish and
Dr.. v. H. Stickney a committee to make
the selection.
A special NJ, P. train will arrive in
the city at 80 p. m.. next Friday and
take on the Western North Dakota dele.

1t will be remembered that mention
was made two weeks ago that Supt.
Waldron had sent a collection of small
grains from the Dickinson experiment
station for the Spokane congress.
There is a strong probability that the
1911 Dry Farming Congress will be held
at Dickinson.
The delegates to Spokane will have &

addition to side trip into the Bitte

NEW COMPANY AND ITS IN
vEsTMENT
1t was early in the year that the
North Dakota Independent Telephone Co.
purchased the Dickinson exchange, pay
ing therefor something like $40, 900.
The company saw the need of recon-
structing Immediately and have had
crews of workmen numbering from 10
to IS at work on the job for over
five months New poles have been set,
about 5A miles Of cable strung, new
instruments put in, and the invest ment
increased to fully $45, 900.
In doing this work the company built
for the future and probably not more
than third of their investment is
productive at the present time. This
demonstrates the faith that the company
has in the future development of the
city.
Along with the Dickinson work, a
new copper line has been strung to
Beach, distance of &c miles, connect
ing with the line east from Glendive.
which gives long distance connections
west as far as Billings. There are con-
nections north and south and with all
points east. The company connects
with the Bell Telephone Co. and is
building line of it's own from Man.
dan southwest to New England.
D. X. Carpenter, superintendent of
construction for the N. D. Ind. Tel. Co.,
has been in Dickinson all summer look
ing after the new work. He is one of
the best in his line of work and is ex-
pected to 60 to Bismarck next month to
supervise some new work there.
The North Dakota independent Tele-
phone Co. is incorporated under our
state laws and is operated primarily for
LONG distance business. although it has
| about % local exchanges, Dickinson
being one of the more important ones.
About 1, 600 miles of toll line cable is
maintained and this mileage will be
greatly increased during the next few
years. The company has 1877 toll stations
and S, 1866 telephones in use.
! The company covers the Northern
Pacific main line and branches as we'll
as important points in the northeastern
part Of the state, and for the successful
prosecution of work it is necessary that
relay stations like Dickinson be main
tained ct central points once in about
every 100 miles. Dickinson is half way
between Bismarck, the first important
point east, and the Montana line. and
will be maintained as the distributing
point for Western North Dakota.
The officers Of the N. D. Ind. 7 el. Co.
are North Dakota men of high standing.
