Com'r Henry Porter's resignation from
the board of county commissioners al
their meeting OF last week was a surprise
generally but his private interests de-
manded that he lay aside the duties i'm
posed upon him while acting as servant
OF the public in that capacity. The
people OF the Fifth District. as well as
those throughout the length and breadth
of Cavalier county, feel that to Mr.. Por
ter is due more than a passing mention
for the active interest he has taken in 6
proper administration OF the county
government during the three years hi
has taken part in the deliberations of thu
board. His successor on the board, Mr.
Chas. VanNorman, is near neighbor o
the retiring member and his long resi-
dence in the eastern part of the county
emnently fits him for the position be
slowed upon him for the remainder O
Mr.. Porter's uneXpired term. Both ar
GOOD men and the interest OF the Fiftl
district will in no wise be affected by tn
change we predict.
