Two weeks ago Fred Hartman was
an unknown, penniless youngster, elk
| ing out an existence among the fun
traders, trappers and prospectors OF
the Hudson Bay district, where he had
been an assayer since his graduation
from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology at Boston.
Today his name is known wherever
| newspapers are read; his fame is as
great as that of Steffansson or Peary
he has accumulated $4,000 or $4,000
within acouple of weeks and can gar
ner several thousands more if he ac-
cepts the vaudeville offers awaiting
him; he is the pet of one of Americas
richest men and the idol of the entire
Northwest.
And all because he has set an ex-
ample for his generation and several
generations to come, an example of
courage, bravery, determination and
endurance.
Finishing at $50 p. m. Saturday,
February 3rd, ahopeless fifth and last
in the Red River-St. Paul Carnival
Derby, Hartman is the hero of this,
the most notable test of endurance in
which either men animals ever engag-
ed. His name will live long after that
of the winner has been forgotten, for
his exhibzitionof indomitable pluck
and grit made his performance more
marvellous than the mere completion
of the 509-mile drive.
Albert Campbell, half breed Cree
Indian, finished first, his elapsed time
on the road being 240 hours and 80
seconds. William Grayson, native
CANADIAN, won second nOnOrS, MS TIME
being 240 hours, seven minutes and
thirty seconds. Jos Metcalf, formerly
of Amigo, Wis, and for four years a
prospector in the Hudson Bay gold
fields, was third, time 240 hours, II

Campbell, Albert's 19-yesr-old broth

HOSPITAL FUND IN
1916, $4,000
The Annual exports of Secretary and Treasur-
er, ere Read at Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the River,
view Hospital Association was held
Tuesday afternoon at the Office Of the
Consolidated Water Power & Paper
Co, at which time the secretary, Mrs
George NJ. Hill and the treasurer
Mrs. Chas. f. Boles, read their annual
reports. We reproduce the secretarys'
report as follows:
February 1st, 1917, marks the close
of the banner year in the history of
the Riverview Hospital Association.
When the Association was founded
five years ago, the idea was to do the
best work possible with the equip
ment taken over at that time Much
was accomplished considering the
handicap.
Under the management of Mrs.
Franklin, the hospital prospered as
never before. The rapid growth and
steady increase in patronage is shown
in the following table.
In 1912, So patients were received
In 1913, 1876 patients were received.
In 1914, 134 patients Were received
In 1915, 142 patients were received
In 1916, 100 patients were received
You will note that in 1916 there
were "a more patients received than
in 1912, the first year after the hospi-
tai was taken over by the Association
The doctors, assisted by the super
intendent, have charge of the Train
ing school for nurses. There are four
nurses studying at present, Miss Lee
land. Miss Linquist, Miss Morgan, and
Miss Richter Beside the regular
hospital work, four outside patients
have been cared for, the association
receiving ffty-fve dollars and forty
cents for the service
The second commencement exercis-
es Of the Riverview Training School
for Nurses was held in the Elks' Club
Room on Monday evening, December
8, 1916. Miss Anna Gunther gradu-
ated at this time. The address by Miss
Haswell, secretary of the Wisconsin
State Board of Medical Examiners, on
''The Profession of Nursing" was a
very able one. AS president of the
Association Mr.. Mead presented the
diploma.
Only necessary improvements were
made on the old hospital building dur

ing the past year Many changes will
be made after the new building is
completed.
One year ago, at our Annual meet
ing, the president appointed commit
tee to arrange for a building fund,
this committee appointed soliciting
committee, to raise S15,0O0,00, by pop
ular subscription The idea Of a one
week campaign was most successfully
carried out. Ten teams Of from three
to five persons were selected and the
week beginning Monday, May 22nd,
was chosen as campaign week. Terri
tories were given the various teams,
Grand Rapids, Nekoosa, Port Edwards
Biron, Pittsville, and Vesper each re
ceiving a team or teams as necessary.
Each team reported daily, and the
steady rise of the thermometer which
was erected to show the progress of
the work and to keep interest up, was
proof of the good will and support Of
all. The receipts of the first day were
$12, $4,000, including the generous be
quest of Mrs. Emily Witter of $10,-
10000, which was the nucleus of the
hospital building fund. The total re
ceived during the week was $21, $50
90. Several contributions have been
received since that time and the build
ing fund now contains approximately
$25,0000O.
One very enjoyable feature of cam
paign week was the series of midday
luncheons given by Mr.. and Mrs. /.
P. Witter to the soliciting teams.
With our new building completed,
(Architect Binmeyer assures us that
it will be in June), fully equipped with
all modern improvements, a corps of
physicians of which any city might
we'll be proud and our efficient Supt.
Mrs. Franklin in charge, with several
capable assistants, the outlook for
1917 is indeed promising.
Respectfully submitted,
EVA HILL.
After reading the reports, the fol-
lowing directors were elected: Geo.
W. Mead, Mrs. l. P Witter, Mrs. G.
NJ. Hill, Mrs. Chas. E. Boles, Mrs. T.
E. Mullen, Otto Roenius, and L. NJ.

been elected We shall publish them
