Mt. Carmel Centennial Celebration


To enjoy an occasion is fine-tC
write about it so that those who
were unable to attend, may also en-
JOY it to some extent, is another
matter. But we feel that hundreds
of folks are anXiously awaiting the
report OF the gathering, and we will
do our best. We scarcely know who
were the most d1sappointed-the
ones who were kept away by the in
clement weather, or those who got
there and missed their many friends
who could not get there. From
ed and then eased up about long
enough for folks to start to get
ready, then would pour again. In
spite of this, gOodly crowd was
present, and fine time was had.
A history of the church was read by
your scribe. This history was TAX
en- in part from our history of Bris-
tol township, which we still have in
the lead pencil form, and which we
will likely retain until times are
better From the manuscript we
copy the following which we feel
will be of interest to readers who
knew the Mt. Carmel church in the
years agone. 1.-The church is sit
uated in the northwest corner of
the township (BristoD in Section 8.
The land is off the farms formerly
owned by Alexander Smith and VIM.
Ross, and now owned by the Wilson
sisters and C.. S. Wilson. The class
was organized in the home of Alex
ander Smith where they continued
to meet and worship for 16 years,
when church house was built.
This was in the year 1847, which
makes the organization date 1881.
About 1859 this house which was of
logs, was moved to give place to
larger and better one-the present
building, which was remodeled in
1902, and again in 1929. The es-
timated cost of the last improve
ment was given as $4,000. The re-
opening service was held Sept. 20,
1929" AS we said, the weather
was very bad, but folks came until
goOdly crowd was present. It
seemed that several from dis
tance had come before hand, others
started early in the morning before
the rain. From the register we

 The majestic solitude of Alaska evenings and nights the magic of the spanglng the clear sky with million specks of quivering light. Against the eweled robe of the Northern heavens, jagged noun, tain peaks assume mystery which only the light of day can dispell.
 But from the sublime and not exactly to the ri- dicu]ous eher Alaska is likewise the most politically cursed country in the world

 May these visiting Congressmen become imbued with some of tangible Northern atmosphere, our scenic wonders, dormant resources and "what have you?" so that when they return home and Alaska prob lems and appropriations up they will sign on the dotted line with no hesitation. We don't want much just striving to reach and become worthy to join those stars in Old Glory.

Editor Of The Tribune:
Under deepest obligations I ask you
to put this In print on your front
page Of the best paper in the state.
I see by reading your paper a new
dog bill is being introduced to the
1881 legislature. The representative
who submitted that surely has no use
for a dog or its owner. Certainly,
tax the dog and cat. Then you have
us all and let Ills who live in the
country and produce the staff OF life
bow to the %plutocrats who car think
up such a proposition to put before q
legislative body. Certainly give some
body's friend. a job. If there isn't
any, make one. But let the farmer
and ranch owner pay his salary. How
are we going to get the money? Get
a bill through taxing dogs-or rather
the owners Of some. In the six years
that I have lived in Mercer county I
never heard Of a dog killing any
sheep, poultry or any other domestic
animal in and about the vicinity I
live in. I hope the governor will veto
this one just like he did with the for
mer, one two years ago, as we all
know there are many localities In
North Dakota where a sheep can't be
found, so why tax the average child's
play mate and have some poor little
urchin lose the only friend he under
stands, because his parents are so
poor they can't cvcn dig up the dollar
for that said tax? Friend or TOE, I

Rugby Youth Recalls
Old Capital Contest

Adelbert New Rockford Gron-
vold-that's his real name-can't
keep out of these capitol removal
campaigns.
He first became interested 16
years ago when the North Dakota
senate engaged in vigorous debate
over a proposal to move the state
capitol from Bismarck to New
Rockford.
Some of the bitterness Of that
famous %oratorical tilt was relieved
by the announcement from SEN
ator F. T. Gronvold that he had
become, on that day, the father
OF a boy. 1t was Adelbert.
The senate interrupted it's bust
ness and set about to choose a
name for the new arrival, and he
was christened "Adelbert New
Rockford"
Wednesday Adelbert New Rock
ford Gronvold came back to the
North Dakota legislature and
heard the house debate on the
proposal to move the capital from
Bismarck to Jamestown,
In the senate, where his father
is again a member, Adelbert was
given the %courtesies of the floor.
Senator W. D. Lynch, in submit
ting the motion, recalled the cir
cumstances under which the boy
received his name, and the as
sembly applauded its guest.

ports on the Gulf of Mexico. Day
and night thousands upon thousands
of gallons of Oil are being pumped
through these pipes.
This oil formerly was transported
by the railroads. A freight train rare
ly was seen which did not have a
number of the familiar cylindrical
tank cars in its makeup. Tank cars
will continue to be employed neces-
Sarily for shipment of oil from CEN
trail distribution points but it is de-
velOping into a ShOrt-haul business.
The long, profitable hauls by rail
from the mid-continent fields to the
great consuming centers of the east
already r a thing of the past. It Is
cheaper and more efficient to pump
through the underground pipes.
Along the course of these pipe
lines are stations where oil may be
taken out for redistribution within 2
comparatively narrow circumscribed
territory. And much of this short
haul business has been taken from
O4lC SaNS. lAbS OAA SOAAAPuAAACo
have their own motor-truck tank
wagons to distribute fuel oil and gas
Oline from the refineries.
It is obvious, from an examination
of these facts, that the railroads are
facing a new order of things. Here
are some s~trikingly luminous figures:
From 1890 to 19OO-the great age of
the rise Of the railroads-revenue
ton-miles increased 81 per cent. In
the next decade they increased 30
per cent: in the next, 81 per cent;
and between 1920 and 1929 only nine
per cent. Passenger miles increased
between 1890 and 1900. 80 per cent;
in the next decade. 100 per cent;
next AZ per cent: and between 1920
and 1929 they decreased by "a per
cent.
All this spells a general r%eorganiza-
ton of the vast railroad plant of the
nation. 1t is recognized that the
railroads may not be permitted to
dwindle in strength and efficiency as
it is unLhinkable that the nation can
do without them. But il they are to
continue to exist. order must be
brought into the situation and the is
sues frankly faced.

WE HEAR FROM HETTINGER


Dear Editor:
Inasmuch as there appears to be a
great "hellabaloo' regarding the
moving of the state capitol site, it
may be well to consider the few rea-
sons the competing towns have
enumerated as a really logical reason
why the capitol should be removed to
their respective towns.
According to an account in the
Minneapolis Journal recently, Golden
Valley is looking ahead for the days
of Buck Rogers and offers lot of
space for airportS and free TRANSPORT
tation to and from the airfields.
Drake claims to be in the heart of
North Dakota's coal fields and can
furnish the politicians with coal at
a very small expense.
7 Each town has its own brand of
bait, angling with a variety of in
ducements which ranges from CEN
trail locations to railroad facilities.
The writer is heartily in favor of
keeping the capitol at Bismarck. But
in weighing and comparing the ad-
vantages offered by the various COM
petitive towns, will say as a second
choice-wny not Hettinger in the
event that Bismarck does not want
it Or cannot get 1t. We have coal
fields and plenty of them. In fact
they are so thick that politicians of
South Dakota bought one in our
county for their capitol needs-Het-
finger could furnish a capitol loca-
ton such as, for example, Lovers
Butte where coal could be hauled di-
rect from the mine into the furnace
with q wheelbarrow just as it vas

needed. Politicians becoming weary
of golf, tennis and so forth woulo
find picking and wheeling coai Will
derful exercise, giving them vim,
viror and vitality aside from saving
the freight expense of hauling coal.
Hettinger offers a beautiful lake, a
bathing beach and boats ad mimi
tI,m. While we would not c..sI 800
transportation to and from tne lake,
our executive officers could equip
themselves with roller sKateS Ut
; coasters and get one way free trans
portation by coasting down from cap
itol hill to the lake.
Hettinger lake has several species
| of game fish, which should prove IN
teresting to our states officers after
a hard days work in the office. n
Bergland hill, located south OF the
lake would be an ideal ski slide Tor
| the accommodation of our Sk1-Jump-
Ing politicians. Hettinger's geograph-
ical location is ideal for the state cap
! itol as we are only three miles from
the South Dakota line and it Is only
a question of time that we WILL be
asked to take over all OF the west
| River South Dakota country as the
| politicians in the eastern section do
not give them much voice in state
| affairs and only enough minor chair
warming jobs to keep them quiet. The
| Black Hills really belongs to the In
| dams and we are willing to let them
| have it. They just loaned it for a
| play ground for some Of our national
executives.
We have Golden Valley and every
| other town in the state beat a hun
| bred ways when it comes to airports,
| Hettinger has the largest and best
airport in the northwest, located on
| the Manner Air Lines from Seattle to
| st. Paul, which will resume opera
tions during the month of April. A
north and south line is proposed
! from The Black Hills (Which belongs
to the Indians) and Bismarck, (Which
Is the temporary capitol until they
decide to move it to Hettinger). This
! will furnish speedy access to the
| Canadian border for those who do not
care to patronize home industry.
In fact the only logical competitor
for the capitol site other than Jul
city would possibly be Jamestown in
the event the price of wheat remains
as it is for a prolonged period OF
time. This would have a tendency to
cause a nervous breakdown among
many of our executive officers in at
tempting to keep the farmers con-
tented, thereby increasing the men,
bership in that famous institution
located at Jamestown.
Yours truly,
Broncho Jim from Rattlesnake
Ridge.
