Text of Address
In his address the Governor said
Il esteem it a privilege and an
honor to welcome you on behalf ol
the Territory and to extend to yol
ard those whom you represent, mosl
cordial greetings.
Since the dawn of civilization
there have been men and womer
of every race and nation who have
felt the urge to depart from tho
beaten paths of their fathers ant
seek new lands. In yielding to thi,
desire they have been impelled by
many different motives; some sougn
relief from oppression, others hoped
to acquire wealth, while few wer,
attracted by the love of adventure
Whatever may have been the motive
that inspired them, they were eager
and willing to pit their strength
courage and intelligence against tht
unknown hardships that awaited
them, confident of their ability t.
win. Their ranks were recruited from
every walk of life but they met OF
common ground. Together they
| shared adversely or prosperity as thu
case might be, and always the.
needed the call of distress from
those in need.
at was inevitable that many whf
started never would reach the goal
Some became disheartened and turn
ed back, others fingered along tn
way dismayed by the difficultie

in unmarked graves. A very fey
carried on and reached the end o
the trail. They are the Pioneers
Men and women of indomitable viii
imbued with the spirit of optimism
that enabled them to overcome al

GIVEN ONE
YEAR TERM
Fred Jung of Hebron Enters
Plea of Guilty to Misap-
preparation of $783

Pleading guilty to charge Of
embezzlement, Fred Jung, 35, Of
Hebron. was sentenced to serve a
one-year term in the state peniten-
tiary by Judge H. L. Berry in Morton
county district court yesterday.
Jung had admitted the misappro-
priation Of 1888, taken in small sums
during the past year from the Singer
Sewing Machine company, whose
agent he was.
A plea for leniency was made by
l.. H. Connolly. appointed as his at
torney by the court. Connolly told
of the fact sthat the man had "a wife
and six children to support and
declared that the prolonged illness of
several members of lungs family had
been the primary cause of the mis-
appropriation.
States Attorney G. F. Kelsch also
recommended leniency for the man on
the condition that he would promise
to abstain from all ong-doing in
the future.
lungs record, as cited by Kelsch,
showed that he had forged names Of
company officials to receipts given
purchasers of sewing machines in
order to hide his shortage.
The fact that the man had q short
age Of $3.50 In his account with the
company last summer and that he had
made reimbursement was brought out.
Company officials had retained Jung
as an agent following this in
cident because they wanted to give
him another chance to make good"
Repaid Previous Thefts
Funds belonging to the Durham
Lumber company were also embezzled
by Jung when he was acting as agent
at Dodge three years ago. A promis-
sorry note to repay the obligation had
been signed by Jung at that time
and the fund later repaid.
"The fact that you have a family
should have deferred you from the
commission Of the crime" Judge H
L. Berry declared. "You don't seem
