| there was no question: Auout Nhs' ~
/ Singer said that he knew OF no better
hotels in the state than those OF Bismarci
and that the service was excellent. IL
concluding his conversation the Adam:
county representative compliinented th'
Tribune on its enterprise and said tina
it was very convenient for the people
throughout the western section of th'
state to have an institution located a
the capital city where engraving. book
t;n,.ng and first class job work wa:
done. He said tina he knew that the
Tribune had a big circulation and init
! mated that it was a powerful factor ir
the growth and development of this Sec
ton Of the state.
Former State Senator J.. f.. Stevens
Of Grand Forks is among the guests II
the city and has met man Of his friends
while here. Mr.. Stevens is looking vel
and has thoroughly enjoyed his visit &c
the capital city.
From the Forty-nin,ll district is her
aided the name Of Representative Hjor'
as the sweet singer Of the 18th legisia-
tive session. In the distance. however,
can be heard the somewhat musical
voice of ex-senator Simpson of Stark
county, in an earnest inquiry for Hans
! Petah' Of Mott. An Investigation OF the
| oft inquiries finds US acquainted
with Senator H.. P. jacobsen. who repre-
sents a large district which comprises
| the thriving counties OF Adams, and Het-
| finger. The senator is a re-eiect and
| came back with a heavy majority to the
| senate and is known as one OF the Sc
nior members of the senate. where mis-
voice is ofttimes heard both on the floor
! and in committee. Jake" as he is IA
| military known both at home and abroad,
| is an ardent worker for sound legislation
| and alreauy it is heralded that a strong
| bill favorable to the woman suffrage
question is to be presented to the pres!
| ent assembly which is now being drawn
| by the Slope country booster. Dame Ru-
| nor is still working around the corridors
of the capitol and inasmuch as Jake is
| still on the dry side Of the Missouri riv
er, it is strongly asserted that the For
ty-ninth district may welcome home
not only a hard working senator, but an
admirable better half at the conclusion
! of the present session.
| Hon. George Rose Of Glendale, o
| times a member OF the house Of represent
| tatives from Dickey county and promi-
nent in the state as well as in his home
district, is among the" distinguished
guests in the city and finds many of his
| friends from various parts Of the state
| congregated here. Mr.. Rose is not one
Of the members at this session, but takes
! quite an interest in some of the proposed
legislation. Since he was q member, Mr..
Rose has been a commissioner for the
allotment of Indian lands on the Stand
ing Rock reservation and also, acted as q
special agent for the Indians. The sub
| ject Of this sketch was instrumental in
landing the first appropriation for the
Industrial school at Glendale while rep
r~esenting the Twenty fifth legislative dis
trict. Ie. is also credited with having
lone some great boosting for the propo-
| sition calling for a government appropri-
alton to erect q monument in Dickey
county on the White Stone battlefield,
where the historic battle Of General Sib-
ley and his gallant regiment Of soldiers
against the Sioux Indians was fought in
September, 1863, nearly so years ago.
The monument was finally erected, the
monument and grave stones being fur
nished by the government and the freight
on same being paid by the state Of North
Dakota. The famous battle-ground Is To-
Gated about 6 miles southwest of Merri-
court and nov comprises about 40 acres.
Originally a section Of land was allotted
and was to be used as q public park, but
afterwards about 100 acres Of the, land
was sold in order that the remaining 40
acres might be improved for park pur-
poses. There is a pretty lake within the
enclosure that surrounds the battlefield
and by the planting Of trees and the
making Of other improvements a very
beautiful park win be the result. Hon.
N. r. Davis Of Monango, Dickey "
..ty, will introduce a bill at this session
authorizing an appropriation of 81 10000
for the White Stone monument fund. "A
portion of this sum, 10000. isslto pay
bills for work already done, and the bal.
ance, $4,000, is to pay a man to keep up
the grounds, plant trees. etc.
