GEO, RICHARDSON,
Secretary
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1903-10-29

The recent irrigation meeting at
Bismarck gave a big impetus to the
irrigation movement in North Dakota.
President Hills address and the en-
thusiastic sentiment Of the delegates
did much to call to the attention of
the government officials in charge of
the irrigation work. the possibilities
Of North Dakota and the fact that the
state has n of the largest Of the irri-
cation funds. Now 1t is necessary to
keep up the good work. The repre-
s%entatives Of the state in congress
should be seconded by the people OF
the state. The executive committee
should arrange for the carrying on OF
the campaign. The state has slept on
its possibilities for some time. but
with the good beginning made at the
state meeting. active work from now
on will do much to overcome the in.
activity Of the past.

The statements of President Hill
in his address at Bismarck of the
comparative business done at Grand
Forks and Fargo has set the secretary
of the Fargo commercial club, Mr..
George H. Phelps, to obtaining figures
from all the railroads and he finds
that the total business of all roads at
Fargo the last year was $941 900 and
at Grand Forks 1871 900. The North
ern Pacific seems to be the popular
road at Fargo as the Great Northern
is at Grand Forks.

Washington Star: Speaking about
putting mem on their honor" said
Judge Frank M. Fish of Milwaukee, at
the Raleigh, II was in Dakota in the
early days. when society was tough
enought to cut with an axe. and
gambling games ran wide open out on
the sidewalk. Judge Barnes of Wis
cOnsin was appointed territorial judge
and came to Dakota to hold the first
term of court ever held there.
'The grand jury was composed of
typical citizens. one of them being the
boss gambler of the town. The judge
selected him as foreman, and in his
opening address depicted the enormi-
ties of gambling and kindred vices
and ended by asking for the indict-
ment of every gambler and sport
against whom evidence could be OBJ
tanned. His appointment as foreman
put the gambler on his honor. and
when the jury returned to court il
handed in the indictments against ev-
cry gambler in the place, incluing the
foreman of the jury. Every man OF
them came to the front with a plea
of guilty, paid his fine and then open
ed up business again at the old stand
with unwonted activity.

will do when placed on his honor like
