SOME EARLY DAY HISTORY
S. j. Albright, Enormously Stated to Have
Been Early Governor of Territory,
was Pioneer Newspaper Publisher.

Recent press dispatches stating that
Samuel j. Albright. governor of Da-
kota territory under President Pierce,
has recently been taken to the Ma
tional Military home at Dayton, Ohio,
after sixty years of service as a news
paper publisher and editor. are in error
in assigning Albright to the governor
ship of Dakota. He was, instead,
the pioneer newspaper publisher of the
territory of Dakota and speaker of the
house of the first provisional legisla-
ture. The history of the territory
shows that Albright established a
newspaper, the Dakota Democrat, in
the Sioux Falls Settlement" consist
ing of colony of adventurous settlers
who located in the vicinity of the pres
ent town of Sioux Falls, S. D., in the
| fifties.
The Sioux Falls colony was locate

VALUE OF SHORT YEAR COURSE.
Popular Course Of Study at the North
Dakota Agricultural College.

From all indications the short year
course in agriculture. offered a. the
Agricultural college this year for the
first time. is destined to become very
popular with North Dakota farmers.
The time required to complete this
course is three years of five and a
half months each, so arranged that the
farmers son can enter the college the
middle of October and be at home
again in time for the opening of spring
work.
Most years the farm work will be
sufficiently advanced so the boy on the
farm can be spared at this time ana
he can enter the college to take up
the study of agriculture in all its
different departments.
A glance at the circular describing
this course informs us that in the flrSt
wear is taken up the study of farm me-
chanics breeds of live stock. prlnci-
pies of breeding, feeding farm ami
mails. veterinary science arithmetic
and algebra. with the afternoons de
voted to shop practice and stock juds

The marshal claimed that these two
men had been pointed out by the

statement and. without passing upon
the question of veracity. the attorney
general was of the opinion that upon
the marshal's own story he was guilty
of such negligence as to call for his
immediate removal in the interest OF
