Although the spiritual wants of

church which had been built in 1875,
and erected the other buildings. All
buildings were then located in the
west part of town, on the site now
occupied by the International Har-
vester company. The church prop

ton paid $40 to the city for the
title.

Walsh Poultry Given
tuberculosis Tests

Area testing for avian tubercul-
osis has been started in Walsh
county and this is the first Of this
kind Of work to be done in North
Dakota, accordig to normatio re-
ceived from County Agent E. ].
Taintor Of Park River.
Under the plan worked out by
DR.. w. F. Crewe Of Bismarck, chair
man Of the state livestock sanitary
board, veterinarians are furnished
to make the tests and transporta.
ton expenses are borne by the local
people. Tests are now being made
Of all poultry flocks in Fertile
township, and the plan is to cover
the remainder Of Walsh county as
fas as petitions are received from
the interested farmers. County
Agent Taintor is cooperating with
the board in conducting this work.
Farmers must agree to get rid Of
all birds that react to the test and
they are given advice on how to
clean up and disinfect premises
where the disease is found. Unlike
the paln under which cattle are
tested for tuberculosis. there is no
provision made for indemnity.
The test is made by injecting q
small amount Of avian tuberculin
into the waffle Of the chicken. If
the bird has has tuberculosis, q
swelling q. ears in AZ hours. This
method of testing poultry for tuber-
culosis, which is in general use IN
the United States as we'll as abroad,
was worked out at the North Da-
kota Agricultural college by DR..
Louis van Els, in charge of the
veterinary department there 10
years ago, and DR.. A. +. Schalk

Sisters Open School
After the other buildings had
been completed by Father Foffa in
1878, the first sisters arrived from
st. .seph, Mimi, to open a school.
The AGA my and boarding school,
as it was then called, comprised
three grades and three class rooms
were provided. An article published
in the Bismarck Tribune at that
time told of the sisters coming, and
of the opening of the school. "No
sectarian teachings are permitted
save to those whose parents request
it," the article stated. 1.-THE text
books used will be the same as
those in use in the public schools
which close April 2. Pupils can
thus go from one school to the other
without additional expense for
books. The buildings are suitably
arranged for comfort, health and
convenience and there are accommo-
dations for IL young lady boarders.
1.-The Rev. Father Chrysostom is
a. very learned. and liberal-minded
gentleman. He wishes it known
that the school is not sectarian
one, but school in which the whole
city of Bismarck can take pride and
claim proprietorship. 1t IS indeed
an honor to- our town.. and our citi-
zens should show their appreciation
of his disinterested labors by a.
generous patronage and encourage
ment." TIL first term at the acad-
envy began April 8, 1873.
Following Father. Foffa came
Father B. Burning and Father
Patrick Ke.nan, pastor and assist
ant, who attended to missions both
west and east of Bismarck, their
territory extending from Glendive
to Valley City.
In 1881 St. Johns abbey, Col
legcville, Mimi, took charge the
parish. The first priests sent out
were Fathers William Eversmann
