History Proves Capitol
Commission Chose Well

for moving the dirt and grading, and
1t Is recommended that the bill be
allowed as presented which would be
less than SOC per yard for work done.
The bill Of r. B. Mellon for trees set
out upon the capital park grounds
and for the work in setting them for
1924, was examined and found that
only the actual expense of getting
and setting out the trees was charged.
It is therefore recommended, that the
bill be allowed"
It will be recognized that Mr.. r.
B. Mellon was one of the Mellon
Brothers Of Pittsburgh and a brother
Of the present ambassador to the
Court OF st. JAMES and one Of the
owners Of bank in Bismarck to
which I have heretofore referred.
He was then spending much time in
Bismarck.
Held In New Building
The 1885 session Of the territorial
legislature was held in the new build
ing and at each session Of the legis-
lature until division and statehood
considerable ingenuity and much log
rolling was necessary to secure addi-
tional appropriations necessary to its
maintenance. Nearly all of the people
who participated or took an active
interest in the removal of the capital
and the erection of the building have
gone west. I think General E. A.
Williams of Bismarck, who was
speaker Of the house Of representa-
tives in the session which enacted the
removal law and who died only a
short time since, was about the last
surviving member of that legislative
assembly. All the members Of the
capital commission have gone except
George A. Mathews and myself. Mr..
Mathews was alive two or three years
ago and resident of Los Angeles,
California.
It will be recalled by those who in
1883 resided in what is now North
Dakota that at that time farming III
the western two-thirds of the state
had not developed as fully as it had
iE the eastern part and it was gen.
orally believed that only the eastern
part was suitable for the raising o:
general crops. and that the western
part was unfit for anything but graz
ing. and consequently. would never
support any considerable population.
If this opinion had been correct. of
course, Bismarck would have re-
manned considerably one side of the
center of population. This opinion
undoubtedly accounted for consider
able of the disapproval manifested in
what IS now North Dakota Of the
location of the capital at Bismarck,
but as the west has developed and
its agricultural and other indus
tries have grown marvelously, Bis
marck is doubtless as near the center
Of gravity and as readily accessible
as any place within the state which
might then have been selected.
