A Changes in the general engineering lusty blow strikes and reverberates staff of the North Dakota highway from the open door of J. W. Buett- department were announced Wednes- day by Commissioner W. J. Flannigan. The changes included several trans- fers and promotions of engineers now employed as division engineers and the assignment of field or resident engineers to general staff work. Included in the general order were," the promotion of S. O. Sorkness, now division engineer at Valley City, to engineer of railroad relation, a new department, with headquarters in Bismarck, and F. H. Brasie, division engineer at Williston, transferred to Valley City as division engineer.

Loy, assistant engineer at Dickinson, becomes as- sistant division engineer at Valley City, replacing T. J. Sheehan, who joined the engineering staff of the ‘ner’s blacksmith shop here. | For 32 years the musical sound of Buettner’s labors have sounded in Norwich; for 64 years, this man—be- ‘Meved to be the oldest blacksmith in North Dakota—has laborered at his trade, one of the oldest in the coun- ry. | More than 80 years old now, Buett- ner still prides himself on his handi- work, maintains it is the best trade, |“because there is not a person in this world who can get along without a iblacksmith—even the housewife has |to have a knife—which some brother blackmith has made—to cut a piece) |of bread to feed the family.” | |_ Buettner has seen the youth of !Norwich grow to manhood, from lads ! who watched, open-eyed, the flare of} ‘rosy flame from his forge, many of them who since left the town. But Buettner and his blacksmith shop are still here. He learned his trade when he was) |16 from guild craftsmen in Germany, his birthplace. | “My father told me that when I | Was out of school, I had to learn a , useful trade,” Buettner recalled. “I Selected the blacksmith trade. It is ,the oldest and best trade. I like and follow it today.” | Born in New Mecklenburg, Bran- bureau of public roads. George Teske,'denburg Province, Germania, Buett-| resident engineer, becomes assistant division engineer at Devils Lake. Brasie on Job 18 Years Most of the promotions went to men who have long been affiliated with the department, Flannigan said. F. H. Brasie joined the staff when the highway department was first organ- ized approximately 18 years ago. Sorkness is a graduate of North Da- kota agricultural college and has been with the staff for three years, while Boyd, a graduate of North Dakota university, has seen nine years of service with the highway department. Johnson, a Dakota Wesleyan grad- uate, spent 10 years in the engineer- ing service in North Dakota; Smith has been a department engineer for seven years, after graduating from Marquette university; Loy attended North Dakota university before join- ing the staff seven years ago; Teske, South Dakota university graduate, has been in the North Dakota field 10 years.

D. ner came to the United States when THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1935 | Plays Here Oct. 8 ] —_ ‘Norwich Blacksmith on Job for Last 64 Years . W BUETTNER he was 27 years old. He settled first at Albert Lea, Minn., but his desire to learn the language of his adopted land, took him into the employment of John Donahue, at Twin Lakes, Minn. Later, he went to Iowa and in 1903, came to Norwich, where he has re- mained since. The march of years has failed to diminish this man’s joy in his work, “I still enjoy my work,” he says. Buettner, with the candor of the old-time craftsman, looks with scorn on modern-day “so-called black- smiths.” “We should have a good strict ex- amination law,” he declared “and the strictest is not too strict for me; we will not have any good young smiths unless we have such a law.” TRACTOR AND MOTOR | STOLEN NEAR MINOT 17,000 Pound Farm Implement! and Combine Motivator Haul- ed Away on Truck | Minot, N. D., Oct. 2—(#)—Through- out the northwest part of North Da- kota Wednesday sheriffs and other! peace officers were looking for a 7,000 pound tractor and a 1,000 pound combine motor which were stolen Sun- day night from a farm three miles north of Minot. Both were loaded on @ truck and hauled away. C. E. Guelle of Minot, service man- | ager at the Minot branch of the In- ternational Harvester company, is the | man to whom the tractor and motor} belonged. He lives in Minot and goes back and forth to the farm, The tractor and motor were missing when he went to the farm Monday afternoon, and the matter was re- Ported to Sheriff Ray Diedorff of Ward county. It was learned late Monday that a truck with a tractor loaded on it was seen in Minot about 5 a. m. Monday. Guelle Tuesday offered a $50 re- ward for information leading to iden- tification of the persons who stole the tractor and motor. ‘The motor was loosened from a com- | ‘bine harvester which stood near a| shack on Guelle’s farm and was load- ed onto the platform of the truck; after the truck had been backed up ‘close to the combine. Then the truck was driven out onto the road and was backed into a ditch | | so that its platform was down to the! level of the ground. The tractor wa: | started and was driven onto the truck platform. | The truck pulled out of the ditch | and went away. THEIR NAMES LIVE Philadelphia, Pa.

Canoeist on Way | South Stops Here Thirty miles may be just a half- hour ride for the present day motor- ist but its a full day’s journey for Gwilyn Williams, summer resort pro- prietor at Lake Stevens, Wash., who is paddling a canoe from Three Forks, Mont., to New Orleans via the Mis- souri and Mississippi rivers. Williams arrived here Monday af- ter a little over a month of travel over the river route. He left again Tuesday, expecting to reach the mouth of the Mississippi in three or four months, Last year, in company with a fellow river wanderer, he shot rapids and falls in an 800-mile trip down the Columbia river from Canada to the Pacific coast so this year’s trip is nothing extraordinary in his life. He makes his annual pilgrimages for the “sport of it,” he says and added that by the time the present solo trip is completed he probably also will havea pretty capable pair of shoulders. Somewhat of an amateur archeo- logist, Williams spent considerable time here conferring with men who could give him hints on where to search for Indian relics, Williams’ canoe is 17 feet long and weighs, when loaded, around 150 In addition to camping equipment, he carries plenty of films to take pictures and whatever he picks up on the way. His home is at Everett, Wash. Civil Service Exams Are Announced Here Open competitive examinations for 11 federal positions have been an- nounced here by Miss Alice Sales, sec- retary of the U. 8.

LAW IS UNDER FIRE Washburn Coal Company Gets Writ of Certiorari to Re- view New Act A test of constitutionality of the North Dakota “shipper-owner” law governing transportation of materials by the person producing them, was begun Wednesday in Burleigh county district court. Thomas Burke, acting counsel for Thomas Figenskau, doing business under the firm name of Figenskau Coal Company of Washburn, obtained a writ of certiorari to review the leg- islative act. At the same time, Burke obtained a temporary injunction against the board of railroad commissioners, and L. H. McCoy, state motor vehicle reg- istrar, restraining them from inter- fering with shipper-owner operation of trucks by Figenskau until dis- Position of the case. In his complaint, Figenskau ad- mits non-compliance with the ship- per owner laws, chapter 181 of the 1935 session laws, but maintains the regulations are set by the railroad commission “null and void.” Chapter 179 of the 1935 session laws, governing and defining auto transportation companies, also is_at- tacked in the complaint. The law requires shipper owners to pay a $15 registration fee, among other regulations, and to cover trucks with $10,000 public liability in- surance. Figenskau alleges both laws are “repugnant to the constitution of the United States and of North Dakota in that such acts contain exemptions which are discriminatory.” Former Local Woman Drowns in Red River Grand Forks police Tuesday re- covered the body of Mrs. Martha M. Musgjerd, 37, formerly of Bismarck, from the Red River, according to word received here.
