'A Birthday Letter From An Old-Timer | “OUR YESTERDAYS” Many, many yesterdays have come and gone since July 11, 1873—how many are here today that unfolded the first issue of The Bismarck Tribune on that day, July 11, 1873, 62 years ago; the Tribune's birthday? If there is one living here, I hope they will call me and let me say “Hello, Old Timer!” You don’t know what it was to have a real paper once a week to tell us some- thing of the outside world, to those that had been here all winter without a train, and weeks without mail. Those who put in the winters of ’72-73-74 will never forget the hard-/ ships and privations and oh, the awful loneliness that had to be endured. The Tribune weathered the lean years, three fires and the depression and still is going strong. ° \ The Tribune was owned and edited by C. A. Lounsberry until about! 1890 when M. H. Jewell and Huntley (Spoopendike) bought it. Huntley did! not stay with it very long. Jewell carried on until his death in 1910. “Long live The Tribune.” Now I will tell you of a few other papers that came in, and most of them passed out of existence in Bismarck. The Bismarck Journal by C. A. Lounsberry in 1883. The Advertiser by Palmer and LaShell in 1884. The Saturday Evening Journal by Lounsberry and Otis in 1885. The Settler by A. D. Gray in 1890, later by William Moffit, whose paper, like the late Record, told the truth. And that hurt. Billie went to his office one morning and found it empty. The press and all had mysteriously dis- appeared—but was traced to thé Missouri river. It was fished out and never missed an issue. Later while sitting alone in his office some one came from behind him and beat him over the head and left him for dead. Still he did not miss an issue—he kept hammering away until he went to the Philippines with Co. A as their captain. “You can’t keep a good man down.” (I am afraid I am off the track). The Bismarck Sun by J. A. Emmons in 1890—his hobby was tumble weeds. ‘The Palladium by Knappen. The Capital, a suffrage paper that vanished but it has done its good work. We got the vote. The Public Opinion. ‘The Capitol by Humphreys and Moule. The Red Flame. sa ‘The Jim Jam Jems by Sam Clark—The Record by Sam Clark. There may have been othérs that I did not know of. urvey Shows North Dakotans Settle Differences at Home To the mortification of Reno, marital difficulties of North Da- kotans are settled at home—in state courts and through local lawyers. “The people of this state have a respect for the sanctity of mar- riage,” the attorney general added. A check, however, of several of the larger counties in the state The only state not represented in Reno’r divorce mill, North Da- kota does not place many obstacles in the way of those seeking mar- ital relief, but makes no attempt to invite out-of-state business. The fact that this state was the only one not represented in the 1,286 divorces granted at Reno the first six months of this year is “indicative that the people in North Dakota are of higher moral standard,” Attorney General P. O. Sathre asserted Thursday. reveals divorces are increasing in some counties over last year. No official state reports are made. To obtain a divorce in North Dakota persons must be a resi- dent for a year and a citizen or declare intention of becoming a citizen. Grounds for divorce are desertion for a year or failure to support for the same length of time, extreme cruelty, either phy- sical or mental, and adultery. For the latter two causes, immediate divorces can be obtained. Mrs, W. C. Wiley, leader. Before relinquishing their offices, Mrs, Larson, Mrs. Wiley, Mrs. Nichols and Mrs. H. C. Johnson gave reports on their work as president, secretary, Project leader and treasurer, respec- tively. The major project for next year will be determined after all Home- makers’ clubs in the state have sent their preference to the North Dakota Agricultural college extension depart- ment. This group chose to have as topics for minor lessons “Use of Perennial Flowers,” “Vogue in Quilts,” “One Dish Meals,” “Salads for Every Occasion,” “Facts and Stories About China Ware,” “The Art of Arranging Flowers” and “Outstanding Women of the United States.” Mrs. Larson and Mrs. Wiley, who recently had birthdays, read a poem and gave a comic reading, respective- ly, as their program contributions and were presented with gifts. Mrs. O. M, Satter assisted in enter- taining the group, which had as guests, Mrs. Mrs. G. A. Bardsley and Mrs, Harry Tatley. 5 se % | City and County ] e¢-—————_—__—_-. County Judge I. C.

E. Agre led the Nash-Finch at- tack with four hits in five times at bat. ning and adding a pair in the sey- enth, Paramount downed Lucases’ 7-2, to better its fourth place position.

ONTINUE D C from page one | Woodworth Man Is Knocked From Bunk In Which He Slept Fields Are Submerged River bottoms in the Killdeer and Manning areas were flooded with farmers moving to higher land. Fields were submerged, but no esti- mate can yet be obtained of the dam- age. Some farm buildings were in danger of being swept away. At Williston high water is flooding the haylands and backing up ordi- narily dry coulees. The Missouri river is threatening to climb its banks, running higher than during the June flood stage. The Williston weather bureau re- ported 1.87 inches moisture in four days and a total of 10.83 inches since Jan. 1, nearly sive inches more than for the 12 months of 1934. ‘Cropsaver’ Says Roberts The heavy July rainfall is a “crop- saver” throughout the state, O. W. Roberts, federal weather bureau chief at Bismarck, said, although some damage to crops and basements of residences was done Wednesday night flooding. Eastern North Dakota received the heaviest average rainfall Wednesday night, 1.80 inches, extending through the Red River valley, Roberts said. Grand Forks reported the heaviest precipitation, 2.87 inches, while Car- ington had 2.48 inches, The western part of the state, which was deluged Tuesday, received additional rainfall Wednesday, Bismarck receiving 1.27 inches, Dunn Center 97, Dickinson -T1, Williston .66, and Minot .64, 4.61 Inches This Month Exam for Chemists} 1955 miles long and that the average loss to crops would be between 60 and 70 per cent. Hail Storm Hits Verona Damage unofficially estimated at $20,000 was listed at Oakes in the wake of a heavy hail storm that swept an eight by 15-mile strip north of Verona Wednesday. Reports said other séctions north, northwest and northeast of Oakes had suffered un- estimated crop and property damage. Poultry flocks on many farms were reported to have suffered heavily from the large ‘sail stones which also shattered window glass and damaged automobiles in the Englevale area. Residents north of Oakes estimated }from two to three inches of rain fell near Englevale and toward Elliott. Grain around Stirum, Milnor and ‘Wyndmere was reported badly lodged by rain, but hail damage was slight. Some farm buildings were damaged by the storm, THOUSANDS PERISH IN CHINESE FLOOD Hankow, China, July 11.—()—Un- confirmed Chinese reports said Thursday night that between 2,000 and 3,000 persons had perished in the town of Yenshih Hsien in western Honan province, 20 miles east of aoe when the Lo river rose 20 feet. The rise, attributed to a cloud- burst, was reported to have wiped out the town. Although this report was not con- firmed immediately, from other sources Chinese advices said the landscape was littered with human bodies and the wreckage of the once prosperous community. China’s devastating floods con- tinued their havoc over wide areas Thursday night. The situation in the Yellow river valley was regarded as menacing. The Han river in Hupeh province spread its destruction, Chinese re- ports stating that the important city of Loahokow in northwest Hupeh was}. virtually submerged with 10,000 per- sons homeless and 3,000 houses de- stroyed.

Though there was no official state- ment, there was some talk of offering to make the senate dissolution clause apply only to holding companies in the third degree or higher, instead of Prohibiting all except “first degree” holding firms, “First degree” holding firms are superimposed directly on operating companies. Second degree holding companies control the first degree firms, and so on. The composition of the senate con- ference committee chosen to meet the house conferees was under fire Thurs- cif from opponents of the senate The ‘conferees are Senators Wheel- er (Dem., Mont.); Barkley (Dem., Ky.); Brown (Dem., N.
