news and NOTES
OF SUGAR CROP

The annual summary of the work of
large sugar concern in that city
gives rather favorable impression of
the financial condition of the Danish
West Indies. II stated that during the
past business year the sugar cane har-
vest was fully as good In quantity as
It has ever been in previous years,
and although the quality of the cane
was not up to the usual standard, the
increased prices of sugar have more
than made up for such deficiency.
Willct IL Grays estimate for st,
Croix this season, crushing for which
begins this month. is 1900 tons of
sugar. or the same as the yields in
1901 and 19O9-1O.
Cuban Crop Breaking Records.
HAVANA, Cuba. Dec. 23.-That the
coming sugar crop will break all rec
ords appears now to he reasonable GER
tain. Conservative authorities, who
recently accepted 100000 tons as the
highest possible production for the
year, now predict 1,S25.000 which would
exceed the record of 1910 by $4,000
tons
Other authorities place the estimate
as high as l,S75,OOO tons.
The Increase Is attributed to the con
favorable to the growth Of cane. In
dications are that the good weather
will continue during the grinding sea-
son.

M. E. HOSPITAL
: MATTER deferred
Question Of Locating Church
Institution at Jamestown
Comes up in January

JAMESTOWN N. D., Dec. 49,
Bishop Luccock and the NJ. Z. hos
pital committee appointed by the
last conference to locate a hospital
in North Dakota, considered the mat
ter in all its bearings Friday after
Don The various propositions that
have been made to the committee
we're gone over carefully, and in Or
der to give all interests a fair hear
ing the committee decided not to
take final action until it's next meet
ing in January.
The bishop and committee feel the
responsibility that is attached to
their action in this matter, and real
ize that the people of the society
throughout the state depend on the
judgment of the committee to secure
a permanently self-supporting insti-
tuition for this great charitable un-
dertaking. Such al institution must
be, in the first place, open on equal
terms to all persons who require
hospital treatment, whether rich or
poor, and that all physicians have
equal rights and privileges under
the institutions management. The
most important feature, therefore,
in connection with the committees
decision is the location for such an
institution, and on this decision will
largely rest the success financially
and otherwise of such a hospital.
The committee desires to dispel any
idea that may have arisen that such
an institution, if conducted under
the auspices of that society, would
be for the sole benefit of the mem
Der of their church organization.
This is furthermost from their in
tentions, as the hospital when es-
tablished and in operation will be
open to all persons or the same
terms, and to all physicians and
surgeons alike, under proper regu-
lations and restrictions imposed by
the hospital management.
There are several propositions be-
fore the committee, coming from
Jamestown, Fargo, Valley City and
tllIlOI' III dll vi IHC dDoNC SIIiCo Ca
| cept Jamestown there r already
jample hospital accommodations. The
location of a state hospital in this
city offers attractions and induce
ments that none other can provide.
1t would at once assure the institu-
ton of a sufficient patronage to make
the hospital self supporting and a
success in a financial way. In no
other city are there as many induce.
ments for locating such an institu-
ton as at jamestown. It's accessl-
bility from all parts of the state is
well known. The business for such
an institution is already here, and
all that is needed is to adequately
take care of it, with modern h0spi-
tai facilities, The offer OF James
town is an unusually tlattering one,
being equivalent to SIS, 900 and Al
valuable site in the best portion OF
the city for such an institution.
The Valley City offer consists OF
a private hospital already in opera
ton for some ten years, and dona-
tions Of $4,000 in cash.
The Fargo proposition is Of prac-
