Considered strange in that day by the | people who knew little of the French, he now is looked upon as a man ahead of his times. His wife was Medora Von Hotfman of New York, 4 | daughter of one of New York's early ' financiers. The town of Medora, far ther west on the Northern Pacific stamps her name upon the history of the state while De Mores holds record of her husband., The Frenchman’s | grazing lands were close to the points where the two towns were located. | DeMores is credited with having es- 4 tablished the first plant for the kill- ing of beef cattle and the shipping of | chilled mea in refrigerator cars.

The Sheridan House and the people of Bismarck entertained a commission appointed to relocate the capitol on May 23, 1883. This com- mission was empowered to select the new capitol city by the territorial leg- islature. Entertainment was the or- der of the day and from a satin hook- let which graced the table as menu cards, it is found that the members of the céOmmission fared in part as fol- lows: Meats: Spring Lamb. Loin of Prime Beef. Tame Goose. Young Pig.’ Tenderloin Steak. Shoulder of Venison, Loin of Mountain Sheep, Wild Goose. Roast Pigeon, Quail on Toast. Potted Pigeon, Pluver on Toast. New Brunswick Salmon. Broiled Shad. Brook Trout. Needless to’say, Bismarck was se- lected as the.territorial capital and the first meeting here of the terri- torial legislature ewas in 1885. The Sheridaif House was the center of the session life and most of the import- ant questions to be considered were settled in private rooms within its boarded sides.
