Strangers Find
Great Lack of
Living Rooms
Large Number of Pipeline Workers
and Families Fill All Avail
able Flats and Hotel
From Wednesday's Daily
Last night a sleeping place in this
city was at a premium as the large
number of men engaged in the con
struction work on the pipeline of the
Continental Construction Co.. arrived
here to make their headquarters
while the work is being extended
through this locality to connect with
the lines under the river.
For the past week there has been
an unceasing demand for ligiit
Housekeeping rooms and apartments
as the wives of the workers came
here to seek a place to call home for
the next few weeks and while many
were- cared for by the unceasing
work of the Chamber of Commerce
and C. C. WeSCOtt, who has been
looking after this part of the work,
there were still many who were un
able to he accommodated in this line
The supply ol sleeping rooms over
the city was also taxed.
Last night there was an unceasing
demand for sleeping places over the
city and the Hotel Riley was soon
filled to its fullest capacity and men
were sleeping in the halls on cnts
with all of the rooms occupied. The
police force were kept busy trying to
locate rooms for ihe men and oc
casionally a whole family th::t was
here without shelter. A number
of the men were accommodated for
the night at the city hall until they
could try and secure some quarters
today.
The closing of the Perkins Hotel
which was available for the use of
the pineline forces last summer, has
raused an added burden to trying to
supply rooms and had the furniture
remained at the hotel it might have
been possible to give accommodations
to a great many more than at pres
ent. The usual supply of furnished flats
and light housekeeping rooms has
been kept well filled nil of the pas'
year and now with this added de
mand makes a real call on the com
munity to care for their temporary
citizens with living quarters.

Charlie," sobbed Mrs. Bannon when

Bismarck On the heels of the

another killing, where the death pen
alty is permitted.
