The following tribute TO Easter
Is clipped from the Baltimore SUN,
Of April 4:
Easter Day has been called the
queen Of festivals. Ii usually comes
when the woods begin to hear the
voice of spring and flowers green
again. II comes at time when
nature is about to awaken from her
long winter sleep and is getting
ready to burst into life adorned with
ali its beauty and glory and fresh
ness. Occasionally the Weather Nan
conspires with the pessimists to al
low winter TO chill the lap of spring
and TO give us clouds and storm nj
Easter instead of sunshine, but the
festival nevertheless marks praeti-
cally the end of winter and ushers
IN a new season fralght with hope.
It's the great and browning day of
Christianity for on this day is COM
memorated the event which is the
foundation of Christianity. For if
Christ be not risen, then il the
Christian faith vain. Said a great
preacher in an Easter sermon: The
flowers blossom on the altar, the al
leluias sound from white-robed
choirs, the awful Sacrifices are Offer
ed amid the adoring faithful. We
say il is Eastertide; Christ is risen.
However joyful our lives, there is
today deeper JOY. In It's spring
tide with its freshness there is bet
ter springtide. As perchance we
look back over a long pathway,
shaded with cypress trees, on mourn
f1l marbles and quiet graves the
quiet sunlight plays and amid the
chanting JOY of the holy season and
the Worship the solemn but comfort
ing strain falls on the ear, % death,
where is thy sting? o grave, where
is thy victory?''

blocks, fine public buildings and ele-

blocks, fine public buildings and ele-
CANT homes are among the things
that make the first impression of the
city a favorable one.
One by one the wooden structures
of frontier days have been replaced
by handsome brick blocks. It has
taken no conflagration to change
the city from wood to brick and
stone, only the steady advance of
q town that has never known seri-
GUS depression but has from year
to year made steady, substantial
growth.
The altitude is 2430 feet above sea
level, though one scarcely realizes
this, the ascent is SO gradual. In
climate Dickinson boasts much ad-
vantage over cities in states farther
east. The summer evenings are al
ways cool and the nights refreshing
no matter IL the day has been op-
pressive; the winters r cool and
bracing and the old time "blizzard'
seems to have passed on. There is
very little serious illness among the
5000 residents Of Dickinson and the
death rate is only rs per 1000.
The city owns it's own water works,
valued at $4,000. The water is
1ised by aid pressure into. a water
tower. The plant has a daily capaci-
ty of 100000 gallons, sufficient for
the city for many years to come,

buildings will be provided the coming
year. A grade building already
serves the South Dickinson pupils,
where there is also a large parochial
school.
The past season a summer school
for the teachers of eleven southwest
ern counties was held at Dickinson
with an enrolment of about 200.
This was so successful that it will be-
come a permanent institution, MAX
ing this city a center for the teach
ers of this part Of the state.
In placing the normal schools and
other state institutions of learning,
this part of the state, then so sparsely
settled, was overlooked. Now our
people feel that a normal school out
this way is their due. Other Sec
tons of the state seem to feel the
same way and the Dickinson normal
school bill has passed two consecu-
tive state legislatures and will go to
the people for their ratification in
1916. That Dickinson is the logical
location for such a school seems I'M
questioned.

LOCATION

Among the, cities of the state none
is more f~avorably located than Dick

Mt is situated on the north bank of
iieart river, where a gentle slope af-
lords natural drainage. It has a
large tributary country on every side
and it's financial Importance exceeds
that of many cities of greater popu-

HOTELS-STORES

Of the six. hotels which the city
boasts, the st. Charles and the Vii
lard, the latter opened in 1914, ac-
commodate the largest number Of
guests. Both are run on the Euro
pean plan and offer to the public in
appointments, cuisine and attendance,
all that can be desired. The fine hotel
accommodations of Dickinson make
it a popular lover Sunday" place for
travellers and afford the best of en-
tertainment for the large gatherings
that are coming Dickinson's way
thick and fast.
The stores of the Queen City of the
Prairies would do credit to any city.
Large department stores, exclusive
shops in different lines, fine grocery
stores, we'll stocked, clean markets,
all go to make Dickinson's CONNER
cial district a busy place, where shop
pers from the surrounding country
gather daily to make their purchases.
BANKS
Dickinson has four strong banks,
including the Bohemian State
which will shortly open it's doors for
business. The Dickinson banks are
among the strongest in the state
and showed deposits as follows on

FRATERNAL AND CLUB LIFE

The Masonic Temple, erected at a
cost of 100000, is the home not only
of the Masonic bodies of Dickinson
but is a rallying place for all men,
bers of the order on the Missouri
Slope. The building is a beautiful
one and a credit to the city as well
as to the Masonic fraternity. Club
The Dickinson press., 1915-11-20

rooms are fitted up in connection with
the lodge rooms and the temple has
become a sort of social center for
the members.
The same is true of the 100000
Elk temple, by far the finest build
ing of the city, the home of nearly
600 Elks and containing a fine con-
vention hail..
The Odd Fellows also have their
own building, the first of it's kind in
the city. The Bohemian hall in the
western part Of the city and St. An
thongs hall in South Dickinson are
club centers..
The Country Club, erected the past
season by the Dickinson Golf club,
occupies a fine location on the golf
links just west of the city. The view
is fine in every direction and the
piazzas and reception rooms are a
favorite gathering place.
The armory, the home of Co. K. n.
D. N. G., was the first erected in the
state and furnishes a large floor for
general as well as drill purposes.
The Dickinson press., 1915-11-20
NEW BUILDINGS

Dickinson has not counted this a
great building year yet many perma-
nent structures have been erected
and the amount spent on Dickinson
buildings thus far this year easily
totals $175,00o. Among the larger
expenditures Of a permanent nature
are: The Merchants bank, Reed
Bros. store, Turner garage, German
Bohemian bank, Derringer feed barn,
Country Club, Cooperative Elevator
and several warehouses. Many resi-
dences have been erected and others
improved.
FEDERAL BUILDING
The site has been purchased for a
100000 government building and
the appropriation has been voted.
Dickinson is just waiting her turn for
construction work. This building will
provide besides quarters for the post
office, rooms for the United States
land office, government weather bur-
eau and probably a federal court
suite.
The United States land office
brings a great many people to Dickin-
son and makes the city a land center,
not only for the selection Of free
homesteads, but for the buying and
selling Of improved land.

Visitors always remark the beauty

Fine homes are seer on all sides,

to the outskirts of the city and all
parts are well-lighted. Several of
the residence streets are boulevarded.
which adds to their attractiveness.

HOSPITAL

city, occupies a commanding position

all of the southwestern counties.

the farmers in their work.

thousands of deciduous and evergreen

grove of trees has been started and

NEWSPAPERS
Dickinson has two English and
one German newspaper-all working
for the best interests of city, county
and state. The Nord Dakota Herold
has a large circulation, especially
among the German people, while the
Dickinson PRESS, the oldest paper in
the county, carries the news to the
several counties of the Slope.
