DICKINSON CENSUS Dickinson, July 3.-The population of Dickinson increased about 400 during the past five years according to 1925 census figures given out by Assessor W. B. Dickinson this week. There are now 4467 residents in the Queen City. Of this number 2151 are males and 2316 females. Of the former 508 are foreign born and 493 of the females are foreign born. One hundred and seventeen of the number are aliens. In reality, however, Dickinson has a population close to 5,000, it is estimated, due to the number of normal school and other school attendants during the year. These are not counted as residents of the city. Dickinson has shown a healthy growth during the past few years and is continuing to grow. The housing problem has become serious in the city at the present time and if more homes were available it is certain that the population would increase still more. There are any number of families who would come to the city if they could find homes. An interesting census of the automobile in Dickinson has also been compiled recently by parties interested in automobile sales here. It is estimated that there are over 750 Fords of all models in the city and 650 automobiles of all other makes. This total of 1300 would leave more than one to every family in the city. NEW BANK OPENS Lidgerwood, N. D., July 3.-The new, reorganized First National bank of Lidgerwood, replacing the old national bank which has been under receivership for some time, has opened here.
