An Historic Structure

The Northwest Hotel was former
ly the old Sheridan house, W hich for
many years occupied the present site
of the Northern Pacific, Depot in
Bismarck. The building was moved
to its present location, remodelled
and repaired by the Northern Pacif-
ic company, and was long used as the
leading hotel in Bismarck. 1 During
the last few years it has been known
as the headquarters of the Nonpar-
tisan League during the sessions of
the legislature, and the dining room
of the hotel has been used as hall
for consultation and caucus purpos-
es,
The hotel was originally a frame
|structure and has witnessed many of
the most important social and politi-
cal events in the history of the state.
For many years it was conducted by
Landlord BLY,, and afterwards by e..
G. Patterson. ~
In the early days of the territory
and; statehood, the, old Sheridan
house was renowned for it's many di-
versions of pioneer type. There was
a large open gambling hall off the
UdEEOUu 4WuSI0 Oil VI 6dAUA-
ing devises were in operation. The
bar was the most profitable feature
Of the hotel, and in those days was
the lobby for nearly all the prom
ineft men who have made history III
North Dakota. The hotel. was also
used for depot purposes by the rail-
road company In recent years its
use has been taken over fol. agricul-
tural exhibits, and for overflow ho-
tel purposes. Its loss means the
passing of one of the states most
noted historic landmarks.
4. In the hotel most of the important
Legislation of the early days of
North Dakota was shaped and decid-
ed upon, by the leaders who were
then. upon the political stage.
Fierce sensational fights, the old
Louisiana lottery combat, and many
Legislative organization contests
have. been staged in the corridors,
rooms and lobby of the old hotel.

groups the ballot was described az
1.-The closest in history on similar
question" All of the differences
were ironed out by the different un-.
ions however, and the final show
down found all Of them casting their
ballots for no strike.
Public Opposed Strike
L. E. Sheppard, president Of the
Order of Railway Conductors, said
that the. unions had decided to call
off the strike because Of "the grow
ing public opinion that the strike
would be against the labor board
and consequently the government,
and not against the railroads.
1T was evident also that the en-
tire Washington administration was
opposed to us and that we had lit
tie. chance of gaining our objective"
said Mr.. Sheppard
I'VE called this strike to gain GER
tain rights to which our men were
entitled" Mr.. Sheppard told the As
sociated Press.
The first announcement OF the ex-
ecutives' action was made by MIR.
Lee. flushing to the floor below the
hotel meeting room where dozens Of
newspaper reporters were congre-
gated, ne smilingly shouted:
1.-THE strike is off boys, but I've
got one Of the resolutions and Ill
show that to you tomorrow"
All of tine union men were smil-
ing as they came out and many OF
them joculariy pushed and showed
each other down the stairs. To all
queries, most of them merely re-
piled:
ITS all settled. See you tomor
row.
The code messages calling off the
strike, arranged in advance, will be
sent out tomorrow morning, the un
ion heads said. A code word will be
sent to each general chairman of the
union and he will in turn forward
the order to each Of the subordinate
officials under him.
Executives Comment Brief
j. H. Elliott Of the rail group Of
the Railroad Labor board, when In
formed that there would be no strike
at this time said:
II am very much gratified at the
good judgment exhibited by the men.
To say any more would just be shoot
ing the bull"
william H. Finley, president of
the Chicago and Northwestern. at
his home at Wheaton, Illinois, said:
I'm very glad to hear that. It
certainly will be a relief TO every
one" 4. IS q.

Inc nnal decision seemed pleasing
to union men, rail executives and the
labor board alike. Union leaders
pointed out that they could not strike
without opposing both the labor
board and the administration while
they asserted their real quarrel was
with the roads. Labor chieftains to-
day asserted that their action of yes
terday marked the end of all danger
of strike, as the result of the
strike vote taken by the unions no
walkout being effective until new
vote is taken. No plans are being
made for a new strike vote. w. G.
Lee, chief of the trainmen, said.

What are your plans when you
leave here?" I asked.
well, first I kiu the year Of hard
luck" he replied.
you see, have had lots OF hard
luck. Last June they steal my wife's
jewels from my home at Hampton.
And then while I am singing at
the Opera House in Havana, some
one puts Off a big bomb in a wash
room and hurts six persons.
And in December. while am
playing in Samson and Delllah' at
the Metropolitan, some scenery falls
on me.
Then I fall down the steps while
playing 'Pagliacci' Then go to
Brooklyn and 1 burst blood ves-
sci, and then come Christmas and I
get pleurisy and have to have two
operations.
And now I put stop TO hard
luck, and I fool the jinx and 60 to
rest and play very soon.

He stopped to rest. propped up on

brimming over with determination.

ness Of victory.
My old teacher" he resumed sud
denly, said to me: AT rs your
voice will be dead. You are the
wind, blowing through our windows.
Poufl In a moment It Is gone
well. I am as now and I still
sing; my voice has not gone like the
wind. And I sing again; I sing
when I am so.
DR.. Antonio Stella saw me to the
door.
I'VE think he will recover" the
doctor said. His fever is diminish
ing, he has slept well, he is gaining
strength from his food and his cour-
age is unconquerable."
But Caruso's will be the first case
on record OF recovery where lungs
have been so congested as to produce
SO ounces Of pus.
