SOUTHWESTERN PART OF STATE

George Young Is President Of Dakota

Of Long Distance Service.

The completion of the long distance
lines of the Dakota and Montana
Telephone company from Lennon,
S. D., into Montana through South
western North Dakota foSming also
through connection with the Twin
Cities, is suggestive Of the develop
ment of that section during the past
two or three years. Three years ago
that entire section Of the state was
almost uninhabited. The first work
on the long distance was begunl at
Lennon, s. D., Aug. 1, 1908. Since
that time the company has built four
hundred miles of long distance lines
and also local stations at Hettinger,
Bowman, Scranton. Reeder, Mar
marth and Mott with over four hum
dred local phones in use. Through
connections with the Dakota Central
the patrons of THIS line can now
reach all points in the east. A num-
Der of other local stations will be
constructed during the coming year
and also several hundred miles of
long distance lines. State Senator
George NJ. Young, at present residing
in Minneapolis, is president Of the
Dakota and Montana company.

Thompson will, be learned with re-
gret through the entire state. As Sec
rotary of the grand Masonic bodies
he had a wide acquaintance In all
parts Of the state. He has been q
grand ofncer of the Masonic bodies
since territorial days. For a number
of years he was illustrious potentate
Of the Shrine at Fargo. He took a
special delight in his work as secre-
tary Of the Masonic bodies and was
numbered among the exceptionally
able grand secretaries Of the United
States. Personally, he was clever.
courteous and well Informed gentle
man, fond of study and reading, with
a fund Of general information. He
built up the splendid grand lodge H.
brary at Fargo largely through his
personal efforts. He was also q
leader in the work of construction of
the Masonic temple at Fargo. He
served as a member Of the constitu-
tional convention, and it was he who
christened North Dakota as the
"Flickertail state" the term arising
in one of his addresses in the con-
stitutional convention. He was mar
ried and leaves a wife to mourn his
untimely taking off. His father,
Jared Thompson, was for many
years a resident of Dickinson, and
served as postmaster there until his
death a few years ago.
The Tribune's History of North
Dakota, now in press, has the follow
ing biographical sketch Of F. J.
Thompson:
"Mr. Thompson's services to the
commonwealth have been both use
full and distinguished, and of him it
may be truly said that he helped to
usher the new state Of North Dakota
into the Union of which it has since
become such lusty member. Com

Of twenty-three Mr.. Thompson at
once became identified with all that
was progressive in the young COM
monwealth, and hat his services
and ability were recognized is proven
by the fact that he was a member
of the first legislature. Of 1889-9O.
His profession of attorney rem.
dered him an especially valuable
member Of this body and he played
a conspicuous part in steering the
new ship of state through the shoals
of adolescent inexperience. His work
in this respect was fully appreciated
and he was rewarded later by the
appointment of assistant attorney
general in 1891. in which capacity
he added to the reputation already
