Hiawatha, and you will get the righ1
information, and a story that vii
make your mouth water. Mr.. De
voice has the record for the largest
catch here.
Sykeston livery will be your livery
after one trial. Mr.. r. NJ. He witt. the
owner, has the finest line OF rigs in
this section of the country, best OF
service either auto or team. The
building used for this barn is the
first building built in Sykeston, the
lumber being hauled overland from
Jamestown.
The large amount Of building this
spring has kept the II. S. Thompson
Lumber company pretty busy figurlng
up the bill of material used. The Sy'
kestonian only uses the best grades
and the effect can easily be seen IN
looking over the city. Mr.. w. f. Ste
wart, the manager, says the prospects
for the bumper crop has livened the
building boom to a great extent. rms
yard has been run under this manager
for the last two and one half years.
Mr.. O. J. Rosendahl. the popular
agent for the N. p. road, gave us the
information concernin% the large
amount of grain shipped from this
point last year, and further told us
that the greater part Of the grain
raised around here was OF the best
grade. Mr.. Rosendahl knows what
grain is, has had the experience III
that line.
The grain production around Sykes
ton has been one Of the leading
features of this territory. Or course
the amount shipped from any one
point is not so large as that shipped
from other or newer districts as they
have a much larger territory to draw
from. But consider the amount
of land that the city of Sykeston mas
to draw her grain from and you Will
find that the amount is equal to any
part of the state. The elevator com
panies that helped in the taking care
of the crop of 1912 are as follows:

HOSPITAL EXHIBIT
At EXPOSITION

It will be welcome news to all
those interested in the state tubercu-
losis hospital at Dunseith, to learn
that the board Of control has an
nounced it's intention to provide a
splendid exhibit Of its interests
among those of the other institutions
under it's jurisdiction at the coming
North Dakota Industrial Exposition,
October 7-19, in this city. No insti-
tuition has shown such rapid advance
ment.and been drawn on more heav-
lily, in comparison, than has this, us
at no time since it's opening have &C
cOmmodations been sufficient to meet
the demands. AT the very start,
while there were applications from
299 prospective patients, there was
room for only 25, and upon the dis
semination of this information it is
interesting to note the desire first
and then the determination on the
part Of various organizations in the
state to do their utmost to materially
assist in the splendid work Of res
tOring TO health and strength the
hundreds OF people throughout the
state in need of its beneficent aid.
Already the Masons have begun
the erection of a cottage for the use
Of members Of the order, and when
there are not enough applicants from
their own ranks, they will throw open
it's doors to others in need. It is
the aim of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs to erect a cottage

, other large company doing business
in his vicinity, or again his name will
t appear very frequently in the papers
and they will follow his doings, know
ing that he is,a practical man. He
will be mentioned as a prospective
| candidate for some Office that the
PEOPLE will not trust to any except
one that they know is above reproach,
and whenever you find m of these
gentlemen's name put up for an office
they are very sure of obtaining it and
through their ability and energy as a
citizen. .
Mr.. Richard Sykes, the founder of
Sykeston, is still hale and hearty and
continuing to further the interests
! that have in the years gone by made
Sykeston one Of the leading towns
of the central part of North Dakota.
Mr.. Sykes carries one of the largest
stocks of boosts for this city Of any,
and knows the game.
This gentleman came here in the
early eighties and fOrSaW the advan-
tages Of making a city on the lake.
We all dream to a certain extent, but
few dave the satisfaction Of seeing
their dreams cone true. as Mr.. Sykes
has and still the improving has not
stopped, but just commenced. His
knowledge of the right place to build
a city, was c0rrest in more ways than
one, and this has been shown by the
steady growth of the city on the lake.
Think Of the water power that this
city has the chance to develop. There
could be plenty of power for a large
number of manufactures to locate
here, and consider the cost Of power
supplied by water instead of fuel.
The difference would mean dollars

will be of brick, and four rooms. How
many children, Of school age, have
