NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
Biz Day at FARGO.

Thousands of visitors, representing
the highest type of the sturdy Norsk
emigants from the Land of the Mid
night Sun, gathered in Fargo on the
18th to participate in a dual celebra-
ton. The independence day of their
nation was being observed, as is the
custom of the patriotic descendants
OF the Vikings, and there was added
interest to the celebration, because
of the dedication of the bauta stem, in
honor of Norway's great poet, Bjorn-
sterne Bjornson.
The stone rests on a pedestal built
in a handsome mound in the center
of the North Dakota Agricultural
College campus. 1t is thirteen feet
high, with a medallion of Bjornson on
one side, and the quotation from
Bjornson's son, "Ja, vi elsker dette
Landet," IN the other.
The exercises of the day COM
menced with the formation of the
line of march at the Waldorf Hotel.
Dr.. Paul Sorkness was chief mar
shall.
The visitors and the committee
we're received at the college grounds
by the trustees, faculty and students
of the institution.
Hon. John w. Arctander, of Mime
apolis, delivered the unwilling ad-
dress. The silken cord which held the
covering around the bauta was pulled
by Miss Helga Trovaten, daughter of
the editor of the Fran, and the SPLEEN
did monument in honor of Bjornson
was greeted with enthusiastic APP
plause by the former residents of the
country Of the great Norwegian.
ia, vi elsker dette Landet," wal
sung by the audience.
Dr.. Fjelde, of Abercrombie, made
the presentation speech, transferring
the monolith to the college and the
state. President Worst made an ac-
ceptance speech in behalf of the col
lege. Gov. White accepted the monu-
ment in behalf of the state. Student
Dolve delivered a speech in behalf of
the student body.
After lunch there were band con-
certs and Senator McCumber and
Congressman Spalding of this state,
and Congressman STEVENSON OF
Crookston, Mimi, made addresses.
The wedding celebration postponed
from the day before was resumed in
Company BIS armory. Hon. B. B.
Hangar of Fergus Falls, Mimi, was
the master Of ceremonies, and was
ably assisted by Peer 0. Stromme OF
Madison, Wis. There were responses
to toasts by President Merritield OF
the state university, Professors Thing.

Unique

A religious ceremony, unique in the
history of North Dakota, was per-
formed May 4, when the prior of St.
Mary's, Richardson, was raised to the
dignity of abbot.
Father Vincent has not coveted the
honor, but he is we'll worthy Of it.
In 1887 he came to North Dakota at
the earnest solicitation of Bishop Mar
ty and undertook the evangelization
of the German and English speaking
Catholics. His labors, hardships and
struggles were such as only the BRAY
est souls could endure. He built a
monastery at Devils Lake in 1898 and
opened a college for the better educa-
ton of Catholic youth.
While carrying on the double work
of missionary and professor at Devils
Lake, he undertook the erection of a
second monastery and church for the
German-Russian population at Rich
ardson.

Many Gophers.

About 1000 gopher tails were count
ed by Justice Heusted at Steele, and
over 5000 at Dawson. Rcxin has not
been heard from yet. 1t is thought
the next count will not leave a great
deal of the $500 appropriation, and it
is possible the board may shut off the
slaughter at the May meeting. An
appropriation Of $4,000 would have
been a good thing. However, no one
should stop killing the pests because
the pay runs out. Put out the poison
and help the good work along for your
own profit.
The Bureau of Public Health and
the Marine Hospital Service will show
many practical models. Among these
will be a model showing how a we'll
is contaminated with typhoid fever or
cholera by proximity to a neighboring
c%esspool; models of drawings of prac-
tical improved tenement houses to re-
place the ~unsanitary dwellings which
crowd congested portions of some Of
u cities, and models showing how
the publication Of water diminishes
the number Of cases, and the death
rate from typhoid fever and gastro-
intestinal disease in general.
There will be a model of a Quaran-
tine Station; a display of improved
disinfecting machinery, showing use of
steam, sulphur, formaldehyde and
chemical disinfectants in solution; a
model Of a floating quarantine plant
or disinfecting barge; a field bacterio-
logical outfit and interchangeable
apparatus; a model Of yellow fever
detention camp with the dis...ay of the
X-ray and projection apparatus; a
model Of a public health and Marine
Hospital Service operating room.
The wall space will contain photo
graphs illustrating marine hospitals,
domestic quarantine, foreign quaran-
tine. immigration service, sanitarium
for tuberculosis, etc,
