MEMORIAL DAY is GIVEN
A FITTING OBSERVANCE
Langdon Holds Exercises and Parade Monday
TO Honor Memory of Old Soldiers

An observance of Memorial Day
was held in Langdon on Monday fore
noon in which Langdon people, both
young and old, with the school child
rem of our city an active working
factor in both the exercises and
parade, paid tribute to the veteran
heroes of the civil war, both living
and dead, that was credit to Lang
don people as a whole and spoke VOL
umes for the efforts of the ladies of
the Langdon woman's club, who un-
dertook to see that the day should not
pass by this year without observance.
The exercises at the assembly hall
of the high school, though brief,
including selections by the girls glee
club and an inspiring address by Rev.
Father McArdle were presided over
by Superintendent Kuhnes of the city
schools. Afterwards the parade form
ed when headed by the Langdon band
and the school children the procession
started to the cemeteries where the
graves were decorated and military
honors paid those of Langdon's heroes
who have passed to the last muster
roll. The veterans who were in line
at Langdon's memorial day exercises
Of 1915 were, c. Orton, H. E. Bur-
ritt and w. A. Monroe, who saw ac-
tive service in the civil war and
James Reed, who took part in putting
down the Indian uprising here on the
western frontier in the early seven
ties. Automobiles were on hand at
Lebanon cemetery and those who hao
marched in the parade from the city
were transferred to Calvary cemetery
with little loss of time. All the
graves of the soldier dead of ou,
nation who lie in graves here il
, Langdon had their resting place
marked with flags and wreathes O.
flowers on Memorial Day while tn.
, memory of the deeds of both th'
, living and dead were fittingly honored

LANGDON WINS A COUPLE
OF DOUBLE-HEADERS
County Seat Base Ball Players Get into Game
Win -Four Straight from Dresden

Langdon's base ball team doesn't
seem to be able to break away from
its old time tradition of getting into
the game for the first time of the
season on Memorial Day and the
present season proves to be no excep-
tion to the rule. Langdon boys DON
ned their uniforms and went to Dres-
den on Sunday; it simply seemed as
if they couldn't help themselves and
that 1t was force of habit. They
played two corking good games. The
one in the afternoon finishing with a
4 to 3 score with Langdon grabbing
the big end of it. The evening ses-
sion was a somewhat more loosely
played sample of the national pastime
but it was also Langdon s game, even
though the score was run up to l3 to
8. Ben Lothspeich is manager of the
Langdon bunch of players and among
those who are likely to play with the
team are the following, who no doubt
will get place in the lineup with
others who are getting into condition
fast: Johnny Monette, Louis Stember,
Albert Drury, Harry Coleman, Tony
Backus, Phil Underwood, Arthur
Mason and Prof. Kenzler. The OPEN
ing series played at Dresden resulted
in double header being played here
on the Langdon grounds Monday,
when the fans at home were given
a chance to see the boys work out,
That Manager Lothspeich's team is
rapidly shaping into form and becom-
ing capable of playing fast ball is
best demonstrated by the score of the
games, the one in the afternoon end
ing with II to 5 score and the
evening game with 10 to 2. both Of
them being Langdon games. Four
straights is pretty good, especially
when it is remembered that they were
Langdon's first games for this season.

SOLD CAR LOAD IN ONE DAY

Last Wednesday nights freight
brought in the car load shipment of
Ford automobiles for j. F. Ramage
that had been delayed in transit for
almost thirty days. 1t only needed
call on the telephone to waiting GUS
toners to dispose of each of the eight
Ford cars included in the shipment as
soon as they could be set up. BY the
evening of the following day, Thurs
day, they were all gone. Valentine
Schill of Mowbray, is the purhaser Of
one; John McEwan near Olga, was
another purchaser; Frank Lugar of
Munich, also drives 1915 Ford, and
S. Peterson, living south of Wales,
got one too. The other four went to
Thos. King, Of Hannah, T. S. Tscha-
bold of Nekoma, Andy Krien of Osna-
brock, and C. B. Anderson of Milton,
who cover territory over the county as
Ford distributors, of which j.. F.
Ramage has the agency. Mr.. Ramage
states that he now has a standing
order which will insure his receiving
carload of Ford automobiles every
two weeks through the balance of the
season, This order has been in effect
since April 1st, but up to date he has
only been. able to secure two carloads.
However, the outlook is that the
| heavy rush of orders at the beginning
of the season is now over and regular
shipments are looked for. He states
that Ford dealers all over the state
are short and cannot get cars. The
Grand Forks agency has an order filed
for fifty cars and owing to the i'm
mense rush at the factory is still
awaiting thier arrival. If the supply
eases up Mr.. Ramage expects to
easily make his 1915 record of sales
of Ford automobiles reach the 100
mark.

ISN'T GOING TO MINOT

DR.. Semple returned Friday from a
trip through the western part of the
state. The impossibility to secure a
desirable Office location at Minot
decided the doctor to look elsewhere
over the western part of the state
before deciding upon location.
Crosby, the county seat of Divide
county, is at the present time being
given consideration at the suggestion
of friends who have lately returned
from that section of the state. A
great advantage to be given considera-
tion is the fact that it is conveniently
located to DR.. Semple's extensive
farming interests across the boundary
in Manitoba, to be near which is the
only reason that decided him in
giving up his Langdon practice.

time of his death two acres within the
city limits. He had too much to do
and was too far from any school to
obtain an education, but being close
observer and having a natural love
for knowledge he was remarkably
we'll posted on the questions of the
day, which enabled him to take
prominent part in all movements that
went toward the betterment of the
community in which he lived. He
mixed in the troubles of 1869-7O and
was one of those through whose per-
sistence the early settlers obtained
many privileges formerly denied
them. In the year 1864 he went with
others to the prairies to hunt buffalo;
the hunt took them as far as "Ile
Aux Morte" the present site of Leeds,
N. D., where they encountered such
herds of buffalo that they could not
get through. The year before he had
freighted for the Hudson Bay company
to Riviere Au Beuf, now Moorhead,
and the winter following he again
went to Graham's Fort. He made
several trips from Winnipeg to St.
Paul and St. Cloud and other trading
posts on his own account as we'll as
for the company's, always with oxen
and carts. On one of his trips in
1868 he met Rev. Father Genin, who
was going to build the first mission in
Southern N. Dak., at Wild Rice In
his spare time he learned the trade of
cooper joiner and carpenter and often
during his life did work of this kind
even as late as last year to help a
neighbor. He built the first Catholic
church in Winnipeg on the present
site of St. Mary's church. He also
built Our Lady of Bonsecours Chapel
at st. Norbert, Man., as we'll as sew
eral others.
He was married at ST. Norbert,
Man., Feb. 4th, 1862, to Marguerite
St. Arnaud of that place, a French
priest, Rev. Chas. de Maistre per.
forming the ceremony. The young
couple lived at st. Boniface twenty.
three years and all of their twelve
children with the exception of two
were born there. In 1885 the family
moved to Olga where they have since
made their home with the exception
of a few years during which he proved
up quarter section in Manitoba anc
resided with his son Joseph at Fonda.
In 1912 the celebration of the
golden wedding Of this worthy couple
was made quite an event by theil
many friends and neighbors and they
were the recipients of many valuable
souvenirs of the occasion.
His children growing up and being
far from school, he brought about ant
materially aided in building and sup
porting the first school on the ives,
side of the Red River in St. Boniface
at the place now known as River Parl
and maintained school for ten month,
in the year for his own and neighbor'

WALES MAN ACCIDENTAL DEATH

George Montgomery and his broth
er, Hugh, went south on yesterday $
afternoon train to Cushing, Mimi, in
response to a telegram received during
the forenoon stating that their young
er brother, Arthur, had met death in
an accident which happened there
early that morning. The message
gave no particulars, but it is known
that the deceased, who was twenty
three years old had been working in
the woods at Cushing, Mimi, since
leaving his home at Wales late last
fall. The remains will be brought to
Wales for burial by the two brothers
on their return from their sad trip to
the iron range region of northern
Minnesota.

Another old pioneer has passed to
the great beyond. Last Thursday at
1 80 p. m. occurred the death of Jean
Baptist Laderoute at his home in
Olga, after lingering illness of
several months, caused by kidney
trouble. He was eighty years of age
and retained his full faculties to the

only possessed by he who has done his
duty in this world faithfully and we'll.
The funeral took place last Satur-
day at ten o'clock from the Catholic
church and he now rests beside his
mother in the burial ground adjoining
the church. A large number of
friends and relatives followed the
remains to their last resting place.
The service conducted by Rev. Father
Mahieu was most beautiful and i'm
pressive. Among those who attended
from distance were John McGauv-
ran, H. E. Dorval, Thos. Brady,
Joseph Lepire and Ed. Rivard of
Langdon. Many old friends from
Beaulieu and North and South Olga.

Jean Baptist Laderoute was man
held in high esteem by all who met

his many friends and neighbors, who
