Predicted Great Progress for
North Dakota at Pro-

The text Of Governor oeorse r

1882. at the laying Of the cornerstone
for the new capitol building follows:
"Your excellency. Vice President

This occasion is, indeed. the most
notable civic event in the growth and
history Of North Dakota. For the
second time since the advent Of white
settlement in this territory. and for
the first time since statehood, the
people Of the northwest have gath
cred to witness the founding Of q
state capitol.
1T was on Sept. S. 1883, a little
more than - years ago, that his ex-
cellency, the Honorable Nehemiah J.
Ordway, governor Of the Territory Of
Dakota, stod on this historic SPOT

American statesmen. including For.

for the Territory Of Dakota and the
state Of North Dakota until consumed

day, Governor Ordway and his con-
temporaries. many Of whom are priv

Heroism and Tragedy

In Dakota's valleys and plains, on
her rolling hills and beside her
streams and rivers. there has occurred
every act Of heroism and tragedy
known to the history Of the Ameri-
can continent. Here. In this empire
Ct the west, were the first settlers
confronted with every challenge Of
tie frontier. Here. our pioneer cit.
tzens experienced the rising and the
blasting Of every human hope, and
the suffering Of those many bitter
reverses which inevitably befell those
who ventured far into the realm Of
the far west. Here, far removed from
the centers Of trade and commerce,
North Dakota and North Dakotans
have endured many disbursements,
economic and financial, only to rise
again, and to triumph and progress.
The historian Of this day need only
observe our splendid institutions Of
government, our magnificent schools
and churches. our numerous temples
Of public service, our modern avenues
Of transportation and communication,
our astonishing agricultural Develop
ment, and our limitless resources Of
the soil: he need only note our UNI
paralleled social progress. the steady
march Of our ideals Of state and ma
tional unity. the undiminished throb-
bling Of the spirit Of freedom and
democracy in the hearts Of our peo-
pie, and he must record that victory
has been the ultimate reward Of our
people, that armed with the weapons
