many another North Dakotan, waile
the last hope Of the Indian was ex-
tinguished down on the Standing
Rock reservation. Now, while Just
in the prime Of life, he has seen the
development, in the country which
Sitting Bull and his fellows held for
their hunting ground, and Towering
of a civilization which is as ample
and enlightened as there is on earth.
In the breadth of these experiences,
as well as through natural adapta-
bility to the conditions of life in the
new state, Mr.. Cochrane has found
the means to fit himself for the place
he occupies in his city and state as
type of the spirit which dominated
in the making of North Dakota. He
had the Acknowledgement possessed by
all of his contemporaries thor.
.ough schooling. Born in Circleville,
Ohio. December 20, 1859, the son of
William Henry and Fannie (Flor-
ence) Cochrane, he has in his veins
that sturdy Scotch.Irish blood which
have given to this country so many
of her leading citizens. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools of his ma
tive state, took a course at the Kan
sas State Normal School and earned
his law degree In the Cincinnati Law
School. He came to North Dakota,
after having had an experience of
teaching school in Kansas and Ohio,
and settled at Steele. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1885 and won q
place in his profession that entitled
him to the nomination Of states at
torney at the hands of the Republi-
can party with which he has always
affiliated. He was elected and served
for two terms as attorney for Kidder
county and was sent to the legisla- |
ture in 1892. He liked the environ |
ment and promise of Bismarck so
well that he became a resident of the
Capital City sixteen years ago and
during that time has maintained al
digpified position in the community of i
which he is one Of the most progress
sive and liberal citizens. For nine
years he has been member of the
Board of Education, bringing to the
Office the invaluable experience gain
ed during his own service in the
sphere Of pedagogy. ~ 81
Mr.. Cochrane was married June Is,
1885, to Miss p. A. Fridley. at Ash
vile, Ohio, and is the father Of four
children who ornament home that
is. one of the most popular 1t the
capital. William F. Cochrane Jr. the
eldest son Is lieutenant in the Unit
ed States Navy. The other children
are Edwin F., Clara F. and Eliza F.
Cochrane. A brother, ]. f. Cochrane
Of Bismarck. sister in California
and his stepmother, residing at EN-
poria, Kansas, also survive him.

from Portland. Oregon, in reference
to the situation in that state:
1.-THE Overwhelming sentiment
among progressive republicans in
Oregon that the placing OF LaFol-
lette's name on the Oregon ballot to
be voted for in the primaries will on
~ result in dividing the progressive
vote, thus making possible the cleo
ton Of Taft delegates, has made It
difficult to secure sufficient sigma
lures to the LaFollette petition.
In order to do 80, the Taft manag-
ers are assisting the LaFollette man
ayers in securing enough signatures.
The purpose Of this action Of course.
Is to divide the progressive strength
In spite Of this procedure there 10
not the slightest doubt that Rose,
velt will carry Oregon hands down.
