NEW MANAGEMENT TAKES
49,, CHARGE FIRST OF JULY

A. transaction of interest to the
hotel trade throughout the northwest
was made today, when the Grand Pa
cific and Bismarck hotels, two of the
Capital City's Oldest hostelries, were
transferred by Henry Tatley to John
Peterson, Henry Halvorsen and Fred
Peterson. The new managers will as
sumo charge July 1, when Mr.. Tatley
expects permanently to retire from &C.
tive interest in the properties. He will
remain a resident of Bismarck and
retains control Of the Annex.
The new proprietors have grown up
in the hotel business in Bismarck.
John Peterson has been connected
with the Grand Pacific for 10 years
and Henry Halvorsen for eight. Fred
Peterson has not been 50 directly con-
cerned in the hotel work, having spent
number of years in the employ OF
the postoffice department at Washing
ton before he was transferred to the
land department here three years ago.
1t is understood that John Peterson
and Henry Halvorsen will have direct

Fred Peterson will look after the
management of the Bismarck.
The retiring hotel man filed on
claim in Mclean county in 1883. Nine
years later he sold out and came to
Bismarck, where he ran the Western
house, located where the Orpheum the
alter now is, for two years. The first
Grand Pacific hotel, now the Bismarck,
was built by Mr.. Tatley in 1896. Work
on the original part Of the present
Grand Pacific was begun in 1906, and
the hotel was opened January l, 1907.
Six years ago the north wing and the
new dining room were added. The
Grand Pacific is modern hosiery of
120 rooms, and the Bismarck has IS,
of which 80 are in an addition COM
pleted last year.

4 !. Burden on Railways. .+1=Es..
Under the Webb-Kenyon act the
power of the federal government is
placed behind North Dakota. Railways
are prohibited from carrying liquors
into dry territory. If detected in
violation of the state and federal sta
tutes an injunction may be laid upon
them, followed by heavy penalties for
a second offense. Even now President
Edwin Pennington Of the 500 line
faces trial at Minot on a charge of
aiding and abetting the violation of
North Dakota prohibition act through
permitting the shipping over his rail
way of alleged unreasonable quanti-
ties Of liquor into Minot. After July
L the whole burden is placed on the
railways, and lucrative as this heavy
express and freight business has been,
it is not likely any company will
knowingly risk prosecution under the
new act. State authorities hold that
even personal baggage may be raided
for liquors., and that the stuff may
be seized whenever and wherever
found within the state after July /.

which never has appeared in the

North Dakota has never known a
legally licensed saloon. 1t entered the
union in 1889 dry state. The prohi-

ever, gave the legislature authority to
permit the importation of liquor for
personal use Until Is years ago east
of the river and as late at 10 years

was highly imaginary. Years after
North Dakota became state liquor

HALL. STANDS PAT AND
PREPARES FOR BATTLE

Grand Forks, N D., June 20.-At
the Republican district convention
here today, called to choose a candi-
date for the special congressional
election to be held July 10, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the
late H. T.. Helgesen, Henry G. Wick,
Charles w. Plain, Fred T. Cuthbert
and O. b. Burtness, all avowed candi'
dates: agreed to withdraw and abide
by the decision of the convention as
to the party's candidate.
I'VE Will Stand Pat'-Hall.
1--WE intend to stand pat on the
proposition that the convention held
in Grand Forks today has no official
standing" said Secretary Of State
Hail. when advised of the agreement
of Wick, Plain, Cuthbert and Burt
ness to withdraw 1--WE anticipate a
legal battle, unless one Of the men
named should be endorsed by the
convention, and we are prepared for
it. Our stand is that nominations
closed June 10; that the only lawful
nominations under the election stat
utes Of North Dakota are those made
by individual Petition; that these
; nominations have %been made in case
of the seven men whose names are
on the ballots now being printed,
and that these ballots cannot be
changed"
Mr. Hall reiterated his opinion that
no candidate whose name now ap-
pears ON the ballot can withdraw Of
ficially. "The only thing they can
do" said Mr. Hall, "is to notify their
supporters that they are not candi-
dates"
Regardless of the action of the con-
vention today, the republican vote in
the First will be split to some extent,
as H. H. Aaker of Grand Forks and
Fargo, whose name is on the ballot
as a Observation-Disclosures
san, has declined to withdraw There
will be a four-cornered battle be-
tween the candidate endorsed by the
republican convention today, George
A. Bangs, the democratic nominee;
John NJ. Baer, endorsed by the Non
partisan league, and Aaker.
