Medora, Oct. 4.-Thirty-three years
have gone by since the first abattoir
in which beef was slaughtered for the
retail trade was opened in what is
now the State of North Dakota. Had
this business been started by an Amer.
ican, little notice would have been
taken by the people at large. Its
success or failure might have caused
a mine day wonder" and then have
been forgotten. But fortunately for
the Ter Cent Magazine writer's it was
started by a French Marquis and this
fact gave these w:;lers the chance Of
their lives. t$
Perennial sensation.
When sensations were lacking there
was always De Mores and his packing

as many myths written about the Ola

ed to do this, but as our old friend
Tut.le Used tJ ray: ''The time was
not considered ripe" Now that thir-
ty years have passed since the plant
was closed for the last time we feel
that its history may be written. We
are perhaps the only one now living
who can write its true history, hav-
ing been with the business from al.
most it's start and having had &C.
cess to all the records, accounts and
correspondence. It's true, persons
who never had the inside information
claim to know more Of the business
than we do, and have told us so. To
such we can only say In all kindness,
''It's possible you may have been mis-
informed"
We will here say that the articles
are written as little history Of the
past; that dear old past which is
gone never to return, and with 1t
many of the dear old pioneers. The
articles are not inspired by the news
that other abattoirs are to be erected
in our state; or to encourage or dis
courage their erection. Medora had
the first abattoir. This is sufficient
honor. Times then and now are vast
ly different North Dakota had then
scarcely 10000 inhabitants. What
has it today? There was one trans
continental railroad. Today there are
four. There was one bank in all the
west Missouri country. How many
today? There were two markets in
which fresh meat was sold. How many
today?
Now for a little personal history:
We went into the service of De Mores
in St. Paul in 1884, and in New York
in 1886. All the business was placed
in our hands in November 1885, when
j. was in operation from Helena to
New York. When we reported for
duty at St. Paul, the news that we
had teen in the army had reached
there, and it WIS fully understood that
we knew nothing Of business nor OF
anything else. We were told so, and
to this day we are not fully satisfied,

with Senators and Representatives,
protesting against the British embargo
against shipment of American tobacco
to Germany and Austria, beginning Au-
gust 81. They proposed that the State
Department take prompt measures.
r. Z. Cooper, of Hopkinsville.. Ky
spokesman for the growers, said the
embargo meant absolute ruin for the
tobacco farmers.

and European neutral countries, our
heaviest purchasers of tobacco, from
the trade" he said. at means seri-
Gus depression of prices on the to-
bacco markets of the United States.
England intends to depress prices by
the embargo and get our product at
prices which the farmers cannot afford
without financial ruin to themselves"
Several members Of the delegation
proposed that they hold the crops, Sc
curing financial aid through the rural
credits law.
Marion Letcher, foreign trade ad-
wiser of the State Department, said the
department had presented its views in
a vigorous manner TO the British gov
eminent, which declined to modify the
order.
Senator James expressed the opinion
that the British American Tobacco
Company, which growers said had OBJ
tanned a concession from the British
government to ship this year four times
as much tobacco into Great Britain as
in any previous year, had sought the
embargo. Mr.. Letcher said an invest. .
