With People of MANY Needs

Zach day the world draws closer to-
gether. Distances shorten. Time shrinks. The
Bedouin is our neighbOr. Bagdad is at our
door, The world has become one great city.
The newspaper has done much to bring this
about and in doing so has itself developed
from the simple and leisurely affair of a
half-century ago into the most complex and
highly organized institution. 1t is this con-
ditiOn-this universally of interest-that
makes such an organization component
part of our local and national life.
Not only must the news of all the world
be completely and intelligently covered, but
the daily newspaper of today must gather
and interpret it to meet the needs, thoughts
and sentiments of its thousands of readers.

add to the effect. Farmer Wallace
had tied apples to the boughs Of a
number of the trees, which were
chiefly cottonwood, elm and box ell

Mrs. Dunn, with friend, drove to
the capitol hill with her own horse
and buggy for the celebration, but
because of the throng which had
gathered throughout the morning,
was unable to approach near the
speakers stand.
She remembers the day as warm
one for September, with a brisk wind.

speeches were over, she says, great

cavations were rolling over the crowd.
The days just before the celebra-
ton were great ones for the children
OF the town, Mrs. Dunn said. On
Sept. 2, 1883, the Northern Pacific
bridge across the Missouri river had
been tested in preparation for the
special train on its way west to drive

seven of the largest moguls owned
by the railroad were sent out and
crossed and recrossed the new bridge,

Says Sitting Bulls
Talk Was Impressive

Most impressive event of the first
cornerstone laying to John E. Daw-
son, 406 Sixth ST., who listened to the
speeches from a position almost di-
rectly in front Of the speakers stand,
was the talk given by Sitting Bull.
His remarks were appropriate and his
gestures very expressive, and he spoke
for fully 10 minutes with the aid of
an interpreter, Mr.. Dawson recalls.
Sitting Bull cut a fine figure
throughout the ceremonies carrying
himself in proud and dignified fash
ion entirely fitting to his position as
the foremost medicine man of his
day, Dawson said.
