until the amount of $500 is paid,
, which buys one share of stock, re-
, deemable as stated.
All the ministers of the gospel of
Minot will constitute the advisory
board, and all the recognized physic-
ians Of the city Of Minot will consti-
tute the medical staff. AS there are
now over twenty physicians and sur
geons residing in the city it will be
seen that the staff will be sufficient
for all needs and there are many spec
ialists among the medical colony in
Minot.
The following directors have been
elected for the ensuing year: Messrs.
julius Fauchald, H. C. H. Siege, A. A.
son, E. S. Person, R. E. Barron, E.
Ramstad, Peter Ehr, Paul V. Mccoy
and Otto Ellison.
The directors have elected the fol-
lowing officers for the coming year:
Presidential. L. Halvorson.
Vice President-E. S. Person.
Secretary-E. A. Long.
Treasurer. j. Piper.
Executive Committee-Julius Fau-
chald, chairman; H. G. H. Siege and
a. A. Robinson.
In a few days the directors of the
dissertation will start a real campaign
to sell stock in the institution, visiting
the neighboring cities and towns fol
that purpose. The idea is to scatter tn.
stock as much as possible so that all
parts of the country to be served will
be represented and interested in the
hospital.
The initial plans call for hospita,
building accommodating at least 12E
beds, but before many years it is ex-
pected that accommodations will be
made for the treatment of 1000 people
a. one time.
The alienation of the suffering OF
mankind is one of the noblest OF
sciences, and those who make it pos.
sible to have proper facilities for the
practice of this science show by THEFT
interest that they are not selfish al
heart. Mercenary motives have not
OF the finances of this institution, but
the higher motive, the saving of lives
the alienation of suffering, under the
best possible conditions, has been the
thought uppermost in the minds of all
who have anything to do with the Mi
not General Hospital Association.
AS stated, in few days the direc.
tors will start the campaign for stock
subscriptions, and it is hoped that ali
the people of this region will do all
that they can in the premises. It IS
not Minot institution, but North
Dakota and Montana institution. Al,
should have part in this great work
for it really means lives saved, and no
one knows when the services Of an up
to-date hospital maybe needed fo,
themselves or loved ones, and under

forts were failures does not signify
that there is not great need of such
ar institution, but rather it might be
charged to the fact that there is no
religious creed strong enough in this
part of the state to carry the full bur-
den Of financing such a large under
necessary that the capital stock be of
sufficient magnitude to start the hospi-
tai out with everything that is needed
in such an institution. There must be
plenty of beds to take care Of many
more people than will be expected at
the start, for the reason that when a
person has to undergo surgical oper-
alton there cannot be any chances
that there will not be room for the pa
tient, and that at once. The building
must be substantial and lend itself to
perfect sanitary conditions. An old
building, built along ancient lines can
not be used for hospital purposes.
Therefore, it will cost large sum of
money to erect the right kind of a
hospital building in Mont.
In order to place at the disposal of
the people of the northwestern part
of this state and the eastern part of
Montana the right kind of hospital ia
cilities, number Of progressive. citi-
zens of Minot have formed the Minot
General Hospital Association, with a
capital stock of 100000. The word
general" tells the story better than
columns Of cold type. It means that
al! religious creeds will have access
to it's services, and that all physicians
and surgeons of this city will be on
the hospital staff. It is the modern
way of conducting hospital that ex-
poets to do the most good for the
whole community.
Shares in this association will be
sold to everybody, these shares OF
stock to be redeemable in paying hos
pital fees in case anyone in the immed.
late family of the subscriber needs
the services of the institution. These
shares will be placed at low figure
so that all residents of the country tc
BE- served can afford to subscribe to it
Amounts as low as $1,000 may be sub.
scribed, but no stock will be issued
