BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
+ narshall County's Republican
Candidate for Congress.

We're from Voss, Norway and settled
in Winnesheik county, Iowa, at an
early day. Here Mr.. Grindeland
was born Nov. 20, 1856 and reared
as any farmer boy, helping his
parents with the work on the farm
and sharing in the hardships and
trials OF the early settlers life inWhat
was then a new country. He attpn-
ded the common schools near his
home whenever he had the opportu-
nifty, and was a good, diligent
student. In 1S74-75 s, and '76 he at
tended the DEBORAH Institute, and
later taught school both in Iowa
and Minnesota. In 1873 he entered
the State University OF Iowa, and Ia
June, 1882, he graduated from the
law department OF that institutions.
'The same year he married and
removed to Warren, where he has
practiced law ever since.
At Warren he at once demon
strated his ability as lawyer and
capacity for practical affairs. His.
practice grew rapidly and he was
honored by his townsmen with va.
rious positions OF trust within their
gift. He was a member Of the coun-
ell, served on the school board, and
was chairman Of that body, was
elected Judge OF probate, and hel 4
various other town and county
offices. In addition to his extensive
law practice and his duties as an in.
fuential citizen, he interested him
self in the business affairs OF the city
and is now one OF the directors OF
the State Bank OF Warren, which
bank he helped to organize.
Mr.. Grindeland's prominence at
home in time attracted attention be-
yond the confines OF his county, and
IN 1883 he was made a member OF
the commission to distribute funds
appropriated by the state to the
flood sufferers. He was also APP
pointed by the governor a member
OF the state normal board and
served in that capacity four years.
MIR. Grindeland has always been
deeply interested in education and
the educational institutions Of the
state have at all times found in him
an earnest friend.
In politics Mr.. Grindeland has been
active from the time he first came to-
Warren. In that same year-18S2
came the Nelson-Kindred campaign,
in which he took q prominent part.
From first to last Mr.. Grindeland.
has been a consistent adherent Of
the republican party. In 1898 he
was elected to the state senate by a
plurality OF 666 in the legislative
district which is composed OF the
counties of Marshall, Kittson sand
Roseau, running 42O votes ahead Of
Eustis, the republican candidate for.
l,governor. During his four years.
service in the senate he has made a
reputation which has reached to all
parts OF the state. He was the au-
thor Of the Grindeland grain and pro-
duce commission law, pronounced
to be one OF the best passed by the
Legislature OF the state. He also
championed various drainage acts
OF vital Importance to the state and
Especially to the Red River Valley.
Largely through his influence the
present beneficial drainage laws we're
put upon the statute books OF the
state, and it is to him in no small
measure that the people Of this dis
trict are indebted for the recent APP
preparation OF $4,000 for drainage
in this part OF the state.
