The press dispatches convey to the
members of this assembly the sad intel
ligence of the death of the Honorable
Gilbert A. Pierce, at the Hotel Licking
ton, Chicago, Ill. Mr.. Pierce was the
first governor to occupy the executive
chamber in this capitol building. He was
governor Of the territory Of Dakota at
the time OF holding the constitute
conventions looking to the division and
admission of the sister states OF North
and5South Dakota. His advice and in
fuence was great factor in the forma-
tiveperiod of statehood and the framing
OF asstate constitution. He was honored
by being unanimo usly chosen one of the
first United States senators from North
Dakota, which position ne held with
great credit to the state and honor to
himself. His services to the state were
of inestimable value. He was man
possessed Of exceedingly popular and
lovable traits OF charac ter. A uthor, news
paper man, soldier, statesman, friend.
Noman who has had to do with the af-
fairs Of this state welded a better OF
more potent nhuence. The ship OF
state, with whose launching he had So
much to do, sails proudly on, and in the
!. fight Of time the life and public service
of N Honorable Gilbert A. Pierce will
stand out in bold relief as a bright and
shining mile stone in the history oi
North Dakota.
Resolved, by the senate and house oi
esentatives, ,th at as mark Of our re-
spect and high regard for our deceased
friend and former co-Worke the flag or

# tend sincere and heartfelt condo olence.
