's < “CORNERSTINE FROM DESTROYED CAPITOL Three Witnesses Satur Saturday At ernoon Were Present ae Stone Was Laid {na crowd of approximately 300 per- sons gathered to watch the perhtiei! of the removal of the cornerstone of North Dakota's historic old capitel building Saturday afternoon theré stood a few pioneers who could not suppress exclamations of regret as the granite block was dragged from its’ niche and hurtled te- the ground. One “old-timer” summed up his: feelings in the matter, saying “what- ever its limitations may have- been! architecturally, the old capitol build- ing has stood as a symbol of North Dakota to those of us who have watched the growth of the state from’ its infancy and as a monument to those early pioneers who endured the vicissitudes of frontier life so cheer- fully. I know that the new capitol will be @ vast improvement over the old, but, somehow, I feel just .as though I had just lost a very dear friend.” By using a submachine gun. which cut away the adjacent brick work, the removal of\the cornerstone from. the wall was finally effected after ordinary methods had failed to dis- lodge it. So solidly was the granite block set in the wall that a heavy steel chain, wrapped around the cornerstone and attached to a large road tractor, snapped five different times when the driver tried to dislodge the stone by setting his machine in motion. In the niche inside the cornerstone was found the sealed copper box set there at the dedication ceremonies Sept. 5, 1883, and which is said to contain documents and articlés of interest. Governor George F. Shafer, who with the members of the state|committee who will have charge of historical society, was nt at the ceremony, removed thé box and placed it in the custody of Russell Reid, superintendent of the histor- ical society. Officials were divided in opinion as to whether the box should be opened. It had not been decided, Monday whether it should be opened or kept intact and placed-in the-cornerstone Df the new capitol building. There were at least three’ persons present Saturday who had attended the ceremonies at the dedication of the cornerstone as well as those at its removal. They were C. B, Little, P. A. Peterson and J. B. Belk, all of Bismarck. The work of dynamiting the walls was commenced. Sunday, the logal company of the National Guard hav-; ing volunteered to do the work. Small sections of the wall are raised at a time, Colonel Frayne Baker, the of- ficer in charge, said Monday, to pre- vent any possible injury to the Memorial building that might result from the jar of falling brick, ‘LAWMAKERS LUNGH Many Are Entertained-by Group | at Noon Meeting; Films Are Shown ~ Members of the Lions’ club enter= tained 2 number of legislators at their luncheon meeting Monday. ‘ Members of the Masonic quartet sang two songs, “Going Home” by Dvorak and “Drink to Me only With ‘Thine Eyes.” Members of the quar- et are Rev.

When “Brother Bill” ¢| hit the political pond with such a ‘*| devastating splash 15 years ago, the spray had a tendency to obscure all the other Lemkes, who seemed quite content to occupy ringside seats and be counted among the innocent on- Jookers. Representative Lemke did not ac- quire a taste for politics, and has never been a strong or active par- tisan. He tried to squirm out of the nomination, declaring that 4,000 acres of land to manage’ was enough trou- ble for any ordinary man. “In 1930,” Lemke said, 7,400 bushels of durum wheat to pay my taxes. The year before I had paid practically the same tax bill by haul- ing in 3,400 bushels of durum, or less than half what it took last year. If 1929 I shipped a carload of sheep and received for it $3,200. Last year I shipped another carload of bet- ter. sheep, with 500 pounds of added weight, and received only $1,500, or less than half what I feceived the year before. n 1929 I got 30c a pound for wool in the local acs chaers year only 13c. “It is hard for even those of us who Bue Fags uu background, both from # genealogical | prof He was |* “it took | Be M. ‘SCampbell, One Once | Fargo Athlete, Dies Fargo, N.

This does not mean that the birth rate has fallen off, Whittemore says, but merely indicates that Lager have been lax about getting birth certificates for their children. A parent who fails to have a birth certified is doing his child an injus- tice, Whittemore adds, and he lists 13 reasons why it should be done. The reasons follow: As evidence to prove the age and to determine the validity of a con- tract entered into by an’ alleged minor; as evidence to establish age and proof of citizenship and sacett| in order to vote; as evidence to estab- lish the right of admission to the feasions and to many public of- fices; as evidence of legal age to marry; as evidence to prove the claims of widows and orphans under the widows’ and orphans’ pension law; as evidence to determine the Hability of parents for the debts of @ minor; as evidence in the adrain- istration of estates, the settlement of insurance and pensions; as evi-/ dence to prove the irresponsibility of; children under legal, age for crime ‘nd misdemeanor, and various other bor; as evidence to determine the; relations of guardians and wards; as proof of citizenship in order to ob- tain a passport; and as evidence in: the claim for exemption from or the right to jury and military service. f” At the Movies | ——_+ CAPITOL THEATRE Very few people realize with what; rapidity and accuracy the prisoners in all State penitentiaries flash im- They have a method which enables them, immediately to communicate in- formation over the entire prison in; the space of a few moments.
