As an answer, in part, to the
inquiry why the monument
be in the state park at Aber-
crombie this may be said: AT
the time of the dedication of
the park five years ago the idea
was born in the minds of GER
tain men that the fiftieth an.
niversary of the founding of
the fort would be the one
hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Wergeland and the two
events might be fittingly COM
memorated at the same time.
Through correspondence the
people of Norway were inform
ed of the plan; and no other
persons or committee in this
country have been known to
exist up to this day, by the
people of Norway, who have
had anything to do with this
movement. This is fully
demonstrated and set forth in
the correspondence between
the two peoples.
To place the monument else
where would be a surprise and
disappointment most keenly
felt in the home land.
Placing it here in this state,
and on this spot, is witness
to the loyalty of the citizens of
Abercrombie to North Dakota
and also, to the disinterested
benevolence of the friends in
Norway who have donated it.
1t is not altogether from
local pride, that the committee
desires the monument to stand
in the state park of the old
Abercrombie Fort, but on &C.
count of the military and civil
history indelibly associated
with it. There is a history
here which no other place bid.
ding for the monument has,
and it is of such a nature that
it will grow in importance as
the years roll on.
Furthermore here is to be the
center of a vast Scandinavian
population which is already
filling the Red River valley
and overlooking onto the ex.
pansive prairies. 1t was here
in this immediate vicinity the
first Norwegian Lutheran
minister began work in the
state, coming from Decorah
College. la. Abercrombie has
already given five years work
for this monument. She has
ordered and paid for the pedes-
tai $500; and every preparation
is being made to make the
occasion a success. She has
on the ground logs for the re.
building of the old Fort, and
the park is being put in shape
improvements going on as
rapidly as possible.-Search-

McCUMBER PLEADS HAR.
M0NY AT MINOT CON-
VENTION.

l just want to call the atten
ton of the Times readers to
the mockery of Senator Nc
Cumber's plea for harmony at
the Minot Convention. I shall
first call attention to Senator
McCumber's visit here before
the caucuses were held to elect
delegates to the convention at
Wahpeton for the purpose of
giving Elmer and Jim instruc-
tion how to manage the eau
cuses 80 as to elect stawlworth
delegates, this was done by
instructing the stalwarts to
agree on their delegates and
stand by them to man and to
nominate every insurgent both
absent and present so as to
divide the insurgent vote as
much as possible, which was
very easily done because the
insurgents were not putting up
any fight or in other words
were in favor of harmony from
the start. This worked out
we'll and the result was that
tie stalwarts controlled the
Wahpeton Convention with
about a two.thirds majority.
The next move for dis
harmony was to place none
but stalwart delegates on the
different com mittees.
The next move was the
motion made by Elmer that
the Chairman appoint three
delegates from each commits
eioner district to appoint the
delegates to the Minot conven-
ton. The motion was rail-
roaded through, carried and
the slate was railroaded
through as usual to their en-
tire satisfaction.
At this stage one or two in
surgents had the audacity to
express their displeasure that
they could not even vote on the
delegates to 20 to Minot. This
was answered by a few insult
ing remarks by Jim. The
business part of the Conven-
ton was then closed and ]. G.
Forbes was called to the plat
form to denounce the primary
law.
Now that they have carried
disharmony to the last ditch
the Apostle of disharmony ap-
pears on the stage with the
white door and pleads har-
mony.
Consistency thou art a jewel.

WERGELAND
MONUMENT,

Abercrombie is looking for.
ward to a red letter day, June
18th, when it is expected the
Wergeland statue will be un-
veiled and the corner stone of
an arch to the. memory of the
old settlers and soldiers of
Fort Abercrombie will be laid.
This old Fort far surpasses
almost any other place in the
northwest in historic facts and
interest. While the period of
it's history was not long-only
about twenty years-it was in
tense aud of great importance
to a large territory. For years
it was the gateway to all the
northwest through the mill
tary operations, trading expedi-
tions, and the settlers made
their way in securing and turn
ing the wilderness in to settled
communities. This is not the
place to go into this history,
and we allude to it for the sole
purpose of suggesting it's pre-
historic importance as worthy
of the distinction the citizens
of the village will give it in
the forthcoming celebration.
There is no other 80 important
historical spot in all the state.
The military operations there
against the Sioux in 1862 will
forever make it distinguished.
The June celebration will
mark fifty years since the Fort
was established on the west
bank of the Red river, fifteen
miles north of Wahpeton.
Several years ago, certain citi-
zens of Abercrombie, with wise
forethought, determined on
making the semi-centennial of
the building of the fort an
event worthy.to be remembered
along with that occurrence.
and a committee was selected
of DR.. H. O. Fjelde, banker; H.
J. Hagen, and Olaf Bjorke to
secure monument of Henrik
Wergeland, who is described
"a lyric poet, father of Nor
wegian literature, champion of
the weak against the strong, of
the peasanty against the official
class; the friend of the poor
and oppressed; and the man
above all others to open the
doors of Norway to the Jews.
The monument of such man
might fittingly stand in such a
place as old Fort Abercrombie.
When first it was decided to
erect this monument several
places were suggested where
it might stand. Loring Park,
Minneapolis, the campus of
Concordia College, Moorhead,
and more recently, the grounds
of the Agricultural College,
Fargo; but the only man to
guarantee the expenses of it
was Mr.. H. ]. Hagen of Aber-
crombie. He, and the gentle.
men cooperating with him on
committee, ordered it made,
contracted for for it, and settled
the price of it with the sculp-
tor. This of itself justly en-
titles Abercrombie to all the
honor and glory the monument
will give to the citizens of the
state. 1t is only through their
efforts the monument has be-
come a realization.
Subsequently, without the
knowledge of the Abercrombie
committee, representative men
in Norway, where the monu.
ment was being made, started
a subscription to pay what
that committee agreed and in.
tended to give for the work as
a recognition of the love for
the fatherland, the Norwegian
citizens of this country mani
tested and their appreciation
of the artistic spirit and talent
of the mother country.

and he goes off now like a colt.
1--WE had a horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought lit was
