COL, ROBINSON OF -,
'''' 'IHIl;f IAYVIllE pEAD
DIED AT HIS WINTER HOME IN.
IOUISIANA-FUNE
AT FARGO

Fargo, Dec. 25th-Col. w. H. Rob-
inson, we'll known lumber man andt
politician, died Sunday noon, at his
winter residence at Hammond, La, =
where he went a month ago for his
health. He has been great suf-
ferer with asthma and other compl1-
cations for over year and was un-
able to obtain any rest except what
he secured in chair sitting up.
He realized the serious condition he
was in, but kept the knowledge to
himself, after consulting the doctors
at Rochester, MINI. He leaves
daughter, Mrs. r. H. Bush OF Fargo.
His wife, formerly Miss Anderson,
was with him at the time of death.
The funeral will be held under the
Masonic auspices, Friday or Satur-
day of the present week. One of
his two daughters resides in Louis
lana.
Col. Robinson was one of the best
known business and public men OF
the state, although he has not been
especially active in the past two years
owing to poor health. He was born
in Chicago in 1848, and while
very young man enlisted in the army
and was provost marshall of Rich
mond for some time after the war.
He was married to Miss Abott when
about 20 years of age, and two years
later was greatly bereaved by her
demise. Later he went to Iowa and
engaged in the lumber business. In
1881 he came to Dakota terri
tory and settled at Portland, later
removing to Mayville, where he has
had charge of the business OF the
Beidler- Robinson Lumber Co.; he
was also president of the Interior
Lumber Co. of this city. He was
for many years post trader at Fort
Yates and had extensive buusinese
interest here.
He was member of the first state
senate, and for many years was very
prominent in politics, being stand
ing member of the republican state
committee, once or twice chairman
member of the national committee,
and at one time was both chairman
of the state committee and member
of the national republican commit
tea somewhat unique distinction. !.
It was through his efforts mainly
that Mayville secured the state nor
NAL school. He was also long on
the agricultural board, and for many
years president of this body, doing
much to build up this important in
stitution. He also showed his broad,
ness in his efforts on irrigation, at
tending several of the national con-
ventions and was always encouraging
good farming.
Col. Robinson had many warm
friends thruout the state who ad-
mired him for his high character,
his honesty in convictions, his busi-
ness integrity and his efforts to build
up and develop the state. Few men
in North Dakota has left a more en-
viable record and his loss will be q
great one, to not only his circle of
close friends, but to the state at :
large.

power companies,7 which is trans

power house open to the public free

The suggestion originated with
the joint commission appointed by
the people OF Niagara Falls to az

grandeur of the falls has not been

by the conversion of part of the ex-
cess water into electricity. The
quantity that can be used is limited
by international treaty and by law
to such a small fraction of the total
flow that the difference in volume,
at the crest of the falls. is not Wis
ible to the eye or the camera. The
Canadian and New York state gov
ernments have co-operated with the
power companies in identifying the
grounds near the falls and in de-
signing buildings that look more
like public libraries or museums
than power houses.
Already the power company has
begun to make provisions for guests
