Seventy-fifth Anniversary With this edition The Tribune takes note of the diamond jubilee of Dakota territory which will be celebrated here July 8,4 and 5. It recounts proudly the pathway by which the Dakotas were changed from a plain untrod by white man to a great col- lection of commonwealths, for more than the states now known as Dakota are interested in this event. The state of Montana and parts of Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho once were included within the vast realm which was designated three quarters of a century ago on vague and un- certain maps as the Land of the Dakotas. Those 75 years have seen the advance of the white man and the retreat of the red. They have seen civilization brought to these prairies. They have seen the victory and defeat, tragedy and heartache, toil, cares and joys which make up the day-by-day life of a great people. They have seen toil-worn hands lay down their burdens and younger hands come to take their place. They have seen fine cities rise, good roads and adequate schooling where once the only instruction was at the prairie mother’s knee. Once the graves of men who died in this vast expanse of territory were unmarked, but as our occupancy of these lands has continued we have seen the creation of cities of the dead where those who bore their burdens in the heat of the day sleep the last long sleep. Seventy-five years have brought us a proud tradition and to it we look now to solve the old problems which still remain with us and those new ones which we have ourselves created. The same zeal, the same energy and—above all—the same friendly cooperation which marked the men who settled this area will enable us to go on to heights which they never dreamed of. THEY LAID THE FOUNDATION. IT IS OUR JOB TO BUILD A COMMONWEALTH WHICH WILL BE WORTHY OF THEM. It is our job to keep alight the torch of courage which showed them the way into the Dakotas; to strive mightily that we may fulfill the destiny which is ours if we have the initia- tive, the energy and the perseverance to grasp it. It is of these PIONEERS that we think on the occasion of this PPONEER DAYS FESTIVAL. To them we pay humble tribute, those who are dead and that valiant little band which still remains. The least we can do, as we remember the 75 years since the territory was organized and the 65 years since Custer and his brave men rode forth to die in battle, is to promise them and ourselves anew that we will strive to be worthy of them. Irrigation Nothing so challenges the imagination of North Dakotans today as the possibility that by irrigation we may be able to prevent crop failure, insure a sound and enduring prosperity. We have here the finest alluvial soil known to science. Put water on these prairies and rich bottom lands and almost any- thing will grow in abundance. Ten years of crop failures and low prices have convinced the average Dakotan that drastic steps are necessary. For the observant man cannot fail to note the fact that production has more to do with our prosperity than the price of which the politicians talk exclusively. We have assumed that this land would produce bounti- fully, year in and year out, under natural conditions. The ex- perience of the last 10 years proves that this assumption is unjustified by facts. All of the elements are here but they amust be put together by man and placed under his control before they can be made to bring forth the fruits of the earth, year in and year out, in abundance. But let no one assume that this will be an easy transition. The agriculture we have known is too well established to be succeeded by a new system within a few brief years. We must show both the will and the ability to change from dry farming to irrigation if the latter system is to be successful. But the game seems well worth the candle. Certainly we cannot go on forever as we have been doing in recent years when failure to produce rather than low farm prices have laid a blight- ing hand upon the land. - There will be many disappointments before the dream of irrigation in the Missouri valley and tributary streams is real- ized. Even after that time comes there will be heartaches and disillusionment. There always are. But it is reasonable to assume that the trend will be upward and that a much better condition can be established here than any we have ever known in the past.

C. Schwarz, lists two clerics from Bismarck. They are Rev. Walter E. Vater, pastor of the McCabe Methodist Episcopal church, and Most Rev. Vincent Wehrle, Bis- hop of Bismarck. The 1,224 page volume offers the biographies of more than 7,000 lead- ers in the religious field, chosen from approximately 250,000 American clergymen. The editor writes in the preface that he is proud of the fact that it is the first biographical volume in the field which includes representatives of all faiths. A special section contains a list of accredited theological seminaries and universities maintaining divinity schools. Of particular value to stu- dents of church trends and develop- ments is a statistical survey of church memberships. Sketches included were carefully se- lected on the basis of merit and not @ line of space in the book was paid for. Career Began in England The biographical sketch of Rev. Vater begins with his birth Jan. 20, 1886, at Pendeen, Cornwall, England, the son of Walter and Mary Emily (Higgins) Vater. He received his ed- ucation in the English Army schools, three years of theology under a pri- vate instructor and obtained three years of credits for the theological course under the Methodist Church of Canada. He was married to Annie Tregano- wan April 14, 1912, and served as ac- credited local preacher of the Wesley- an Methodist churgh in England from 1904-08. He was ordained a deacon in the North Dakota conference Oct. 22, 1911, and as ar elder Oct. 12, 1913. He has had his local charge since 1924. Rev. Vater was a member of the board of ministerial training of the North Dakota conference from 1918- 28 and also has served the conference as a member of the board of educa- tion, vice president of the hospital board, chairman of the world serv- ice committee, chairman of the board of stewards and chairman of the conference relations committee. He also has served on faculties of sum- mer schools for pastors and young people’s institutes. Rev. Vater Is @ past chairman of the Bismarck Min- isterial association and now is serv- ing on the Salvation Army advisory board. Bishop Born in 1855 Bishop Wehrle’s _ biolographical sketch shows that he was born Dec. 19, 1855, at Berg, Canton of St. Gall, Switzerland, the son @f John Baptist and Elizabeth (Hafner) Wehrle. His education wds secured in the Dioces- an Seminary of S8t.-Gall_ for four years, the University of . Einsiedeln, Switzerland, and the Benedictine Col- lege and Seminary for seven years. He came to the United States in 1882, He had entered the Benedictine order in 1875 and was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1882, He was a missionary in Arkansas from that year until 1885, at Jasper, Ind., from 1885-87, at Stephen, 8, D., from 1887-88, and at Devils Lake, 1888-99. From 1899-1910, he was at Richard- ton, where he founded Assumption Abbey Nov. 24, 1903, and served as abbot for seven successive years. His consecration as Bishop of Bismarck occurred May 19, 1910. Five Known Dead in Collapse of Building New York, June 20.—(#)—Four bod- ies were recovered Saturday from the wreckage of a collapsed Bronx apart- ment house, bringing to five the known dead, as police and fire rescue squads, with picks and _ shovels, searched for seven others believed buried in the debris. ‘The bodies of three workmen were uncovered as another portion of the second floor collapsed Saturday morn- ing. More than a score of workmen were working in the unfinished seven- story structure when the center wing fell in Friday afternoon, piling wreckage from the basement to the third floor. Twelve men were injured as the interior of the building collapsed in an avalanche of wreckage. * Custer’s Official | Story of Blizzard | Following is a copy of General Geo. A. Custer’s official report on the April, 1873 blizzard in Yank- ton, in which his command was caught, as filed with the war de- partment at Washington. It is dated April 16, 1873, and signed by Custer as Brevet Major General: “The severest snow storm which has visited this section for years and the worst I remember has prevailed here for forty-eight (48) hours. Men and horses had to abandon camp. The citizens of Yankton very kindly opened their doors and stables furnishing shel- ter for most of the command. About three hundred (300) horses are sheltered in the Quartermas- ter’s storehouse. The Hall of the Territorial Legislature has been devoted to the use of the men. I fear thus far we have lost about fifty (50) horses and in the pres- ent scattered and disarranged condition of the command fears are entertained that several of the men have been lost and frozen to death. The men are cut off from their rations and have ore dered bread, meat and coffee purchased for them in Yankton. Please approve of this order. Mrs. Custer and myself took shelter in an unoccupied and unfurnished house near camp where we have remained during the storm with- out @ particle of fire and with but little food. I can give you no idea of ‘the severity of the storm and the sufferings of the men. Tents are generally blown down or bad- ly torn, About forty (40) laun- dresses and with several small children are still in camp. Citi- zens here have aided nobly in badly frosen.” THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1936 When Tragedy Struck on Highway Because the driver “was in a hurry” to pass a bus he was following in @ cloud of dust, Mrs. Edward — our Personal Health By William Brady, M.

THE UNCONSIDERED ROUTE OF INFECTION Correspondent complains that it is difficult to get a ticket, program, street-car transfer or even a n per without being contaminated by the vendor’s saliva, thanks to the universal habit of moistening thumb or finger with saliva to handle such things. In my opinion spitting on the street, the floor or on the hand to facilitate turning @ page is insignificant so far as public health is concerned. If I were king I'd do away with all ordinances or regulations against spitting, except one which the worst offenders would most resent, namely: “Do Not Spit in My Face.” That is precisely what the majority of nice, refined, educated, polite people do when they have what they please to call a “cold.” They in- sist on the right to converse with friends or to keep up and about their ordi- nary work or play, which involves more or less talking with companions, customers, clients, pupils, employees at close range. During polite conversa- tion there is given off from nose and mouth a moisture spray composed large- ly of invisibly fine droplets of moisture but droplets which may contain great numbers of the germs of whatever disease the individual happens to be coming down with. This spray carries from two to five feet to lodge directly upon another's lips, perhaps. This is the common, everyday route of infection-with any and all of the common respiratory infections which mas- querade in polite society as “colds” in the early stage before one can know wnat the illness or indisposition is to be. Unpleasant thought, eh? That’s what the pampered nephew of the gent who owns the air informed me when I was about to explain all this to the listeners on a chain of radio stations. Freedom of speech in Yankee- land. Interests paying for use of the air preferred to soft-pedal this teach- ing. It wouldn’t help their business much. In the U. 8. A. business is first, minor considerations afterward. -Saliva that contaminates paper money, newspaper, transfer, ticket, pro- gram or finger or hand may carry infection, as in the custom of shaking hands, but it is unlikely that this indirect route is important in the spread of disease, for the simple scientific reason that germs quickly lose their virulence when exposed to temperature below that of the blood for a few seconds or light or drying for a few seconds or minutes. - Ordinary soap and water cleanliness is pretty good protection against this hazard. But no such cleanliness offers the slightest bar to everyday respiratory infection by the direct route, conversational spray. Here is the source of at least three- fourths of all the illness physicians attend. Not casual contact with soiled or contaminated doorknobs, telephone transmitters, chair arms, hanging straps —these may be sources of ringworm, scabies and other contagious diseases, but not of everyday infections. I believe shaking hands is not at all dangerous in itself, provided one disciplines oneself to avoid putting fingers to mouth without first washing the hands. But to shake hands with any one you must come within five- foot conversational spray range, and the germ-laden spray gets you while you are performing the rite. Escarole Is there any sugar in escarole (chicory greens)? ... (Mrs. J. G.) Answer—An insignificant amount perhaps, es much as spinach con- tains, for example.

DISPLAY IS PLANNED 45 Spectacular and Beautiful Features Promised by Legion Officials Two solid hours of the most daz- zling, stupendous, breath-taking show of fireworks that ever made North Dakota eyes blink in wonder and amazement are in store for the Pion- eer Days Festival audience Saturday night, July 4, at the airport. Lloyd Spetz Post No. 1 of the Amer- ican Legion is arranging the display which contains 45 different features, many of which have never before been seen in this state. Words, post officials have assured The Tribune, are utterly inadequate to describe the beauty and splendor of the scenes they are planning, but these are some of the devices which will be used: Golden cloud rockets, prismatic whirlwinds, “devil among the tailor” rockets, cherry blossom bombs, silver | fire bombs, jewelled rockets, gold and silver gyroscopes, aerial cannon, mag- nesium light parachutes, weeping willow rockets, flag night shells, glow-worm bombshells, crystal shells, | chain rockets, Girandolas, artillery shells, spider shells, crystal palace | shells, and lightening bug batteries. In addition there will be four sepa- | Fry of Miles City, Mont., the other passenger in th> car, lies beside the highway suffering from serious injuries. rate set pieces, the American flag waving in living fire, a Pioneer Days set with letters 18 inches high, the American Legion emblem, and a re- production in fire of a photograph of General Custer. The fireworks will begin at 9 p. m. 4 PRIESTS SERVE CATHOLIC PARISH Two Young Clergymen Ordianed Here This Spring Added to Procathedral Staff Rev. Robert A. Fechan, pastor of St. Mary's procathedral, Saturday announced the arrival of an addi- tional assistant priest, which raises the number of clergy serving the pro- cathedral congregation to four. Rev. Thomas J. Tracy, who was ordained a few weeks ago in the pro- cathedral, is at St. Paul, where he celebrated his first mass, visiting with his parents. He will begin his duties here in about 10 days. Rev. George Kovitch already has arrived from Scranton, Pa. A gradu- ate of Procopius seminary at Lisle, Tl, he is one of the three young priests who were ordained for service in the Bismarck diocese in the local church two months ago. He returned |.

After all they’d done for Lucille, how could she talk to her own mother like that? Mrs. Travers sighed. What if Cal hadn't treated her just the way he should during these years he'd been so rich?
