| recently, Pete, like all the other old
| timers on that paper, was left on the
outside. He will go to Mississippi in
about a week, where he has some good
investments, and he will leave a long
string Of good friends behind HMM
| North Dakota.
Hon. J. l.. HORT, serving his first
! term in the house, is a resident of the
| new county Of Adams, and, Judging from
I the reports Of people from up that way.
his constituents made no mistake in
! sending him to Bismarck to represent
| them. Mr.. HORT is vice president Of the
| First National a at Reeder and was
instrumental in organizing the instltu-
ton. He settled on a homestead near
| there in April, 1907, and as this was be-
fore the a"vent of a railroad up THAI
! way he found 1t necessary to freight his
lumber, household goods and %suppliessa
distance Of 73 miles. His first cxper-
fence on his claim was the building of 4
sod house and barn. but since then. ow-
ing to the rapid development of that re-
gion n the coming Of Il railroad con-
ditions have changed. His fine residence
at leeder at the present time is one Of
the modern kind. but he still enjoys re-
lating some of the strenuous incidents
connected with the early settlement OF
that portion of Adams county. Mr..
Hort was fortunate in being placed on
some very important committees, among
them being the banking, educational, en-
crossing and warehouse committees. Be-
fore coming to North Dakota the subject
of this sketch was a resident Of Mime
apolis, where he lived for about 81 years.
He was a teacher OF vocal music and or
ganized the Hort School of Music in the
Flour city. While a great deal, of his
time was devoted to his profession there,
part of it singing in. the choirs OF the
Lutheran, Episcopal n Consre gationa!,
c%surches. he also spent several years Of
his residence in Minneapolis in newsra-
per work. '"s'a
The following statement was made at
the governors office:
The appointment of Reverend S. \.
Danford as state agent for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals was made upon the
resignation of Colonel Alley Scarlet,
which was filed with the governor on
Saturday.
Under Section 1896 of the Revised
Codes. which is the only authority for
the making Of this appointment. the du-
ties Of the appointee are limited to the
enforcement OF the state laws With re-
spect to the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails and the appointee has no duties
which involve the care or custody Of in
digent Or needy children.
The Capital Press club was organized
Saturday afternoon in the land commits
%sioner's office at the. capitol. In giving
a list of the charter members the Trib-
une inadvertently omitted the names of
W. A.. Stickley, of the Tribune: Frank
Currier, of the Garrison Independents; and
A. l.. Evans, of the Fargo Courier
News. We don't know just what Broth
ers Currier and evans will do when they
meet the guilty party, but Stick says
that he won't stand for anything, like
that, and, in order to get away from be-
ing the principal at a funeral, the cor
rection is hereby made. If there are any
newspaper men, ex-newspaper men and
those affiliated with the bunch now in
the city, they are cordially invited TO
''jine'' the gang.
One of the popular members of the
house not vet mentioned in the Gossip
column is Hon. J. w. Calnan of Ward
county. This is Mr.. Calnan's first ses-
sion, but he is already busy learning the
legislative ropes and is succeeding very
well. He has been a resident of Berthold
for about 8 years and is IN the hardware.
furniture and undertaking business at
thai thriving town. Berthold is in the
heart OF a good farming country, where
the heretofore have devoted the
most of their attention to the raising OF
small grain, but they have begun to d.
versify and are deeply interested in the
new venture. While Mr.. Calna is a
business a he is, of course, interested
in the development of that section of the
state and takes an active part In every /
thing that has a tendency to better the
condition of his cown and community.
He is a member of the town council and
has a wide acquaintance in that section
of the state. That people up that way \
raise large quantities Of potatoes is
shown by the fact that at Berthold there
is a potato warehouse with a capacity OF
$4,000 bushels and individual farmers
have warehouses with capacities rang
ing from 5000 to $4,000 bushels. |
