DR. J. E. RAGSDALE ABOUT TO LOCATE IN CALIFORNIA
Dr. J. E. Ragsdale shortly will join the colony of Montanans in California. He spent two weeks on a trip to the Golden state and was so "sold" on it that he came home and is preparing to return to the coast to locate permanently in Alhambra, a suburb of Los Angeles. His leaving will take one of Billings best known specialists—his specialties being ear, nose and throat ills. Several years ago he took a post-graduate course at Jefferson medical college at Philadelphia, recognizing that a city of Billings' pretentiousness was entitled to the latest and best from its professional men; and Alhambra now will derive the benefit of this learning and his long medical experience.
