THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23 1985 But He’s Blamed for It Orris W. Roberts, Bismarck’s Observer, Born in Towa Log House, Broke Into Meteorological Science on Small West Indies Island The ‘phone rings. “Hello-helio—” in breathless haste, the worried voice of a housewife breaks through the receiver. “There’s a funny looking cloud in the sky— and my Jimmy’s gone swimming—and it looks like rain—and my laundry’s on the line—is it going to rain?” “No, madame,” comes the imperturbable reply. weather, but it’s not going to rain today.” v “Oh — I'm so glad —,my laun- dry—” the voice trails off’ uncertainly as the inquirer hangs up. For the last 30 years, O. W. Rob- erts, section director for North Da-| kota in charge of the Bismarck; weather bureau, has been answering just such questions. He's known as “the weather man,” and on him farmers of the state de- pend for accurate forecasts. Around his medley of instruments oftentimes} crowd the future fates of crops—and of the state. Roberts—whose first name is Orris —was born in a log house on an Iowa alata near Dunlap, Aug. 22, He was graduated from the Dunlap high school in 1885 and attended . Towa State college at Ames/in 1891 and 1892, For a short time after his leaving, school in 1892 he aided in installing electrical equipment of the World's} Columbian Exposition at Chicago. In 1898, the call of adventure sounded loudly in his ears, and he found him- O. W. ROBERTS self a volunteer soldier in the Span- ish-American war.

ESTABLISHES STATE HEADQUARTERS HERE Offices at Penitentiary; Daily Police Broadcasts to Be Resumed Nov. 1 Establishment of headquarters at the state bureau of criminal identifi- cation offices and resumption of the daily police Broadcasts over KFYR, Bismarck radio station, on Nov. 1, were announced here Wednesday by A. C. Jordan, manager of the North Dakota Sheriff and Peace Officers’ association. Permission to set up offices /at the bureau, loated in the state peniten- tiary, was granted by the board of administration earlier this week. Chosen because of the similarity of the work, the identification bureau will provide immediate and valuable records for use by the association in the apprehension and conviction of criminals, Jordan said. ©. A. Miller is head of the bureau of identifica tion. To Revive Interest A revival of interest in the work of the bureau is also one of the aims of the peace officers’ group. Work of the bureau has been drastically cur- tailed by the small appropriation ($5,000) by the last session of the state legislature, but hopes for an ex- pansion of the program are held by the peace officers, Jordan said. Daily police broadcasts will be started Nov. 1, and will be continued every day except Sunday. The broad- casts will be made at 11 o'clock each morning. New features of the daily talks over the air in addition to the state bulle- tins will be a summary of the appre- hensions made during each previous 24-hour period with a report of all property recovered during the same time. A review of the week’s activi- ties will be given each Saturday. Outlines School Plans Jordan also outlined plans for a school of instruction which will be conducted next spring for all North Dakota peace officers. Fifty-three subjects will be considered during the sessions of the school, Jordan said. Problems of finger - printing, traf- fic regulation, use and care of fire- arms and the use of other police equipment will be the subject of spe- cial studies. Modern devices for use in criminal apprehension will be dem- onstrated by experts.

D., Oct. 23.—I, E. Giedt, cashier of the Farmers State bank here, has returned home after attending the funeral of his brother, County Judge J. P. Giedt, who .was buried last Sunday at Eureka, 8. D. Judge Giedt, who was 63 yeafs old at the time of his death, took an ac- tive part in building western South Dakota and had been a political lead- er in that area for more than 30 years. Emigrating to America from Russia with his parents in 1886 when he was 16 years old, Judge Giedt lived with ‘his parents near Danzig, N.D. A few years later he obtained employment jon @ newspaper at Eureka, 8. where he set about the task of im: proving his education. Held Public Offices Later he was elected in turn count; auditor, clerk of court, county trea: urer and register of deeds and fi- nally was elected county judge. He was not permitted to take that office, | however, because he was not a lawyer. Thereupon he moved with his family to Vermilion, 8, D., where he entered the law school of South Dakota Uni- versity, finishing the course in three years. Returning to Eureka, he opened a law office and was elected county at- torney and later city attorney and mayor of Eureka. He then served several terms in the state legislature as representative and senator from McPherson county and in 1934 was again elected county judge, the po- sition for which he had been unable to qualify years before. He held that office at the time of his death. ‘Was Married Twice Judge Giedt was: married twice. Shortly after he became of age he returned to Russia and brought back his boyhood sweetheart, whom he had left behind. She lived only a, short time after coming to this country, however, and Judge Giedt remarried. ‘His second wife died during the influ- enza epidemic in 1918. In addition to his brother at Rich- ardton, Judge Geidt leaves two other brothers, John J. Geidt, of Yakamia, Wash., and Rev. E. H.

Whether the aid will be through relief orders or some other system will be pursued, we cannot tell at this time.” Approximately 100,000 persons’ on! farms in North Dakota will receive the benefit of the new resettlement administration orders, Willson ex- pected, He said he anticipated the exten- sion of direct relief to farm families would “continue until we have a crop.” Truce Is Sequel to Death of 2 in Strike Lake Charles, La., Oct. 23—(P)—A truce was called Wednesday in the International Longshoremen’s strike following a pitched battle in which two men were killed and eight wounded. Gov. O. K. Allen ordered UNPAID TAX BILL SBEN AS HANDIGAP Baker Figures Counties Could Operate One Year on Amounts Due and Uncollected North Dakota’s unpaid tax bill dur- ing the last four years smounts to $29.517,926.13, according to figures made publ Wednesd: the Greater North Dakota association and obtained by it from Lyman Baker, federal statistical coordinator here. Delinquent special assessments are not included in the figure. But on the other hand, no allow- ance is made for the fact that the second instalment of real estate taxes did not become d@inquent until Oct. 15 and collections this month are ex- pected to reduce the 1934 delinquency figure of $13,324,758.45 contained the report.

Analysis of Burleigh county delin- quencies shows that $116,474.58 or 18.64 per cent remains unpaid from the 1931 levy; $139,710.05 or 22.63 per cent is unpaid from 1932; $179,028.25 or 27.85 per cent is unpaid from 1933, and $336,564.55 or 54.69 per cent is unpaid from 1934. October collections. however, may bring the latter figure to a point comparable with or be- low the other years. Five Per Cent Is Normal In a normal year, the state figures. that five per cent of the taxes as- sessed are uncollectible, although tn good years more than 98 per cent of the total assessed has been collected. One result of this condition, accord-| ing to the analysis, is that the annual levies have been “padded” to allow forcing a still heavier burden on those who do pay their taxes. Most counties, the report says, could operate for a year without any tax levy if they could collect the amounts due them from preceding years. Praident Garfie!
