TWO DICKINSON
MEDICAL FIRMS
IN PARTNERSHIP
HIGHER EFFICIENCY AND BET.
TER SERVICE IS OBJECT OF
COMBINE.
The New Firm Will Occupy Their
New Office Rooms in Merchants
Bank Building August 1st.

After carefully considering the diff
ferent phases of combined effort in
medical and other lines, these two
well known medical firms have seen
an opportunity to give even better
SERVE to their patients by joining
forces. The firms concerned are Drs.
Perkins & Nachtwey and Drs. Bowen
& Long. The name Of the new firm
will be Drs. Perkins, Bowen, Nacht-
wey & Long. These doctors are
among the best known in the state
and need no comment by the Press as
regards their fitness to cope with any
emergency in surgery or medicine.
In the larger cities such firms find
that their efficiency is greatly in
creased by being able to have each
member do work along special lines.
The new firm intends to work to an
end that will produce the highest ef-
:ficiency and be Of the greatest aid to
their patrons. Each doctor will de-
vote the major part of the time to
his special line of work and from
time to time take a post graduate
course to better fit himself for his
practice.
The work will be divided into de-
-partments as follows: DR.. Perkins,
department of obstetrics and diseases
of children; DR.. Bowen, department
of surgery; DR.. Nachtwey, depart
ment Of Roentgenology (X-Ray); DR..
Long, department of medicine; Drs.
Nachtwey and Long surgical assist
ants.
The fine office rooms in the Mer-
chants bank building, over Reeds
store, now occupied by Perkins &
Nachtwey, will be extended and in
clude the District Court chambers
occupied by Judge w. c. Crawford:
When the remodeling is completed
each of the four doctors will have a
private office opening from the re-
ception room. The, remainder will be
divided into rooms as follows: Re-
ception, opera ating, laboratory, large
library, case records, X-Ray and
dark room. These offices will be
ready for occupancy by the new firm
August first.

CRAZY MAN WANTED
TO CRAWL IN FIRE BOX

Samuel Swanson, address unknown,
approached railroad engineer in the
city yards Sunday night and asked
that he run the engine over his head.
This being refused the man insisted
upon crawling into the fire-box. The
engineer wasn't looking for this kind
of excitement and called a patrolman.
Swanson went along to the lookup
with little trouble but after being
placed in the "cage" fashioned out a
knife from a tobacco can with which
he made several gashes before being
stopped. He had other stunts that
finally resulted in compelling the au-
thorities to tie him to the cot.
Swanson's hearing Tuesday morn
ing before Judge Fred Maser resulted
in a verdict of insanity and the
unfortunate man was committed to
the Jamestown hospital, where he
will remain, unless recovered, until
after the European war when he will
be returned to Sweden, which is sup
posed to be his home. Swanson has
been in this country about three
years and lately was employed in
states west.

MANDAN PLAYS
GOOD GAME
BUT LOSES
ACCIDENT AT HOME PLATE
LETS IN THREE BIG
SCOR E. S.
Mandan Used Three Twirlers But
Couldn't Stop The Heavy
Hit ing.

Dickinson handed Mandan the
worst drubbing Sunday that the
team has ever received. Loaded to
the guards Mandan came in Satur-
day night with an almost new line up
from what they had week ago.
They were chuck full of confidence.
Dorfer started out for Mandan and
went good for one inning but Dick
inson got busy in the second and
scored three runs. In this inning
Roberts run into Dorf1er at the plate
and put him out of the game.
Thorson took Dorfer's place and
went good until the 5th when the
war started. Mandan put across two
in the 3rd and three in the first Of
the 5th, making the score to 8 in
favor of Mandan. Then in the last
of the 5th Dickinson got busy with
this man Thorson and when the dust
settled, ten husky Dickinson players
had crossed the pan. Robinson then
took up the cross for Mandan and
managed to finish the game, although
Dickinson scored again in the 9Th.
Mandan also added one in the 7th,
making the final count ID to 6. Kron-
schnable, the man with a bad name,
was the hitting star for Dickinson,
getting three safties. AL. seems to
have taken on a new lease of life.
Armentraut pulled off the fielding
feature in the first inning when he
tore in and grabbed one off his shoe
strings. Kilroy pitched for the locals
and had something all the time.
After that awful 5th he eased up and
allowed Mandan to hit. the ball, but
was seldom in danger. "Red"

Some of the Worlds Big Dams

The largest masonry dam in Europe
is in Spain. 1t is built across the
chasm through which the Noguera
Pallaresa river flows, and is situated
near the town of Tallarn. This dam
is a magnificent masonry structure
$50 feet high and 700 feet long, and
was designed and built under the d.
rection of American engineers.
In South Africa we also find anoth
er large masonry dam. 1t is the dam
which stores water for the Hartebeest-
poort irrigation system. The work on
this dam has been suspended on ac-
count of the European war. The dam
is near Pretoria. Its maximum height
is 1879 feet.
Let us now compare these dams
with those found in America and it is
interesting to note that we are ccntin-
ually building larger and larger dams
in this country for irrigation and stor-
age purposes. 1t was only few years
ago when we read of the amazing
height of the Shoshone dam, 1928 feet
high and 200 feet long. little later
the Arrowrock dam came to attract
the attention of the public. This is
the highest of all American masonry
dams, 349 feet high and LOO feet
long. The Elephant Butte dam has
just been constructed. 31S feet high
and 1874 feet long. All of these dams
are of concrete.-E. 3. House. Colorado
