With the establishment of the
Catholic diocese for the western part
of the state and the location of the
See city at Bismarck, and the ap
pointment of a bishop of the Cath
olic church who will take up his res
idence* here, Bismarck becomes the
center of this rapidly growing church
in the western part of the state.
Heretofore the state of North Dako
ta has been one diocese with the See
city at Fargo. Th authorities of the
church have noted the rapid growth
of Catholicism through the western
part of the state, and the building
of a number of splendid church in
stitutions, and have realized that the
time has come for the division of
the state and the appointment of a
bishop for Bismarck, whose duty will
he the ecclesiastical supervision of
church interests in the western part
of the state.
The Catholic missionaries were
among the earliest of religious
orders in the state of North Dakota.
Many and beautiful are the tales of
their heroism, their braving of dan
gers, their conversions of file savag
es and their establishment of pion
eer missions and churches. Zealous
in their religious faith, courageous
in the face of all obstacles, devoted
to their work, and persevering in
the face of hardships, they were a
class of men whose bravery and zeal
stands as a monument forever to the
teachings of the religion they were
engaged in spreading through the
great west. All of them have dis
appeared from the scene of earthly
activities, but they laid the first
stones for the church in the state,
and the splendid edifices that have
been reared all through the state are
testimonials of the firm foundations
they laid for the future.

Bismarck, the See Cit
hard working and well beloved priest
in charge of the Bismarck church,
some interesting facts have been ob
tained with reference to the growth
of the Catholic church in this section
in the past thirty-five years. From
him also has been obtained some
views of the Catholic institutions at
Bismarck which show that Bismarck
is already a center of Catholicism
for the western part of the state.
The story of the Bismarck church is
one of zeal, hard work and never
ending energy. The building of the
present handsome Catholic church in
Bismarck is a monument to the hard
work and energy of Rev. Dimpfl and
the co-operation and loyalty of his
parisioners.
The history of the Catholic church
in Bismarck dates back some thirty
six years. The first church was es-jtime residents of Bismarck. It was
tablished here in 1874, by Catholic a frame building on Main street and
priests who came out from Minne- Mandan avenue, a modest structure

the Hotel Walcott yesterday for Wash
ington, after a short stay here.
"Western 'peonJe are just as thor
oughly devoted to the principle of
conservation as are the peopIe of the
east," said Senator Borah! "But as
we understand it, conservation means
the use and development of our nat
ural resources. Conservation that has
for its basis Vhe tying up of these
resources for an indifinite time is
waste.
"Why, one-third of our state is in
the forest reserve. When Governor
Hughes went west last summer he
said in a speech 'You'd be surprised
to know that we have in New York
a forest reserve of 1,000.000 ateres.'
Some enthusiast spoke up and said,
'You'd be surprised, Governor but
we've got in Idaho a forset reserve
into which* we could put the whole
of New York state and lose it.' There
are 20,000.000 acres of such land in
Idaho.
"On that land there are thousands
of dollars worth of timber that must
be used every year or else go to waste
but you can get a dollar's worth of
lumber from a forest reservation for
less than you can buy it from the
lumlber trust. Out there we say 'Tie
up the forests so as to iprevent the
wasteful extravagance, destruction by
fires and th monopolization of tim
ber. That all right. But we want
those reservations put under such reg
ulation and control as will make them
serve the needs of the living genera
tion of men:
"With regard to water ipower sites
we feel practically the same way. It
has been demonstrated that there is
enough available water in the Snake
river in Idaho to furnish power for
all the industries west of the Mis
sissippi, and water power is as un
exhausted after you have been usins
it 1 000 years as when it is just har
nessed. Every conceivable view from
a common sense standpoint suggests
immediate- development and utilization
of power sites. When you do this
you have done more toward preserv
ing our coal and timber for future
generations than you could by any
other plan.
"Again, we would subscrib? to an
law, however drastic, which would
kp-ep the power sites oul of the hands
of monopolies, but the plan which
merely ties up resources on the ground
of some absolute nonsense about fu
ture generations doesn't aippeal to us.
"Another hase of the situation is
that we have in the west twenty-five
million acres of arid, lands untakeu.
Vast tracts of this have been with
drawn from entry, waiting for the
government to put water on it. The
most effective results of conservation
policies would be obtained by the gov
ernment putting water on this with
out dela -. But th fact is that while
distinguished leaders of conservation
are discussing before the publit who

sota to minister to the spiritual
needs of the people. Bismarck was
then a typical frontier town. The
Northern Pacific railroad had been
completed to Bismarck the year be
fore, and was then running irregu
larly, especially during the winter
season. It was several years later
than this that a resident priest was
installed at Bismarck, the first one
being Father Chrysostom in 1878.
The first church in Bismarck was
at the west end of the city. The most
of the business and residence section
was at, that time in the west end of
the city. The river traffic at the
Bismarck landing was active, and
this directed the tide of business and
settlement toward the west end of
town. St. Mary's church structure is
well remembered by many of the old
from which spiritual consolation was
received by hundreds of Catholics in
the frontier days of the city.
Alongside the original church
structure was St. Mary's school, the
erection of which was brought about
by lit. Rev. Bishop Marty and the
pastor. It was the beginning of the
school instruction of Catholic chil
dren in Bismarck. It was also a
modest frame structure, which in the
course of years has been replaced
with the handsome three story brick
structure on Ninth street, a picture
of which appears elsewhere in this
article, and which is a model of
schcol building construction. This
school is presided over by skilled
instructors, with Sister Magdalen, of
St. Joseph, Minn., in charge. Sh is
an experienced and sympathetic in
structor, and well beloved by the
young people who attend the insti
tution.
The pastorate of the early local
church was continued by priests
from St. John's Abbey, Minnesota,
and old timers remember the names
of many of the early pastors, Wil
liam. Edward, Bede, Paul, Wolfgang,
Alfred and Martin. Another impor
tant development in the church his
tory of Bismarck was the purchase
of the Brown building at the east
end of the city, and of the brick
structure at the corner of Main and
Sixth street, which was consummated
by Abbott Alexius Bdelbrock, and
which is now St. Alexius hospital,
one of the finest hospital institutions
in the state, and In charge of the
Sisters of St. Alexius. At the head
of this institution is the good Sister
Boniface, a business woman of re
markable ability, kind, sympathetic
and lovable as a sister of charity,
and who enjoys the good will and
confidence of the residents of Bis-
thrifty farmers, that means that sev
enty million dollars of good American
money goes out of the country this
ear, and all because the Canadians
have framed their land laws on a lib
eral plan."

marck irrespective of creed, class or
connection.
Father Clemens Dimpfl, resident
pastor of the Bismarck church has
been in charge of the church work
for fourteen years. He was sent to
Bismarck at a time when times were
hard and prospects not over bright.
He was never disheartened, but took
hold with a will and has done re
markable work ill building. The fine
new church building has been erect
ed during his pastorate, as has the
splendid school building, probably
the finest Catholic school edifice in
the state.
No distance has been too great for
Father Clemens to travel in the in
terests of his church and people. No
task has been so difficult but he has
set about it cheerfully, and has seen
success crown his efforts. Every
thing that St. Mary's church holds
and acquires today has been built
up and acquired during the years of
his pastorate and he looks back with
just pride and gratification on the
growth of the church institution in
Bismarck during his term of service
as pastor.
