North Dakota Blue Book 1973 hJHTH DAKUU SJATE^ DEPOSITORY DOCUMENT NORTH DAKOTA urth Dakota Sttft Uhrar*. _ «-»«.•. B&UE BOOK 1973 COMPILED BY LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BEN MEIER Secretary of State Greetings It is appropriate as North Dakota progresses in the seventies that we record our progress and current status in government and in other areas. North Dakota is in a unique situation in this decade. For the first time. North Dakota's agriculture-based economy is faced with the outside entrepreneur, eager to utilize our natural resources. Our water and coal — our energy resources — are becoming increasingly important to people outside our State. The significant challenge of this decade will be to determine the proper balance between conservation of our natural resources, and the necessary usage of them to contribute our share to the nation's energy needs. Among the people faced with that challenge are the many elected leaders and governmental officials noted in this volume. Their ability to deal with this and other problems will determine North Dakota's course for centuries. Their careful judgment and wise planning is essen­ tial to our State's well-being in the years ahead. Arthur A. Link Governor Foreword The 1973 edition of the Blue Book was authorized by the Forty-third Legislative Assembly. The Secretary of State's office takes satisfaction and pride in present­ ing this latest edition. The previous Blue Book was published in 1961. In publishing this book, we have attempted to present in concise form to the citizens of North Dakota a description of their government and a directory of its agencies and officers. The text also provides geograph­ ical, industrial, historical and general information of North Dakota. It is my sincere hope that the material and facts will be helpful as a reference for educational institutions and to all who seek knowledge of our State. It was my privilege to serve as your Secretary of State in 1961 when the previous Blue Book was published. I note that during the intervening 12 years our great State has made tremendous strides in agriculture, oil development, water development with a program pro­ viding flood control, irrigation, hydro-power, and rec­ reation. We now have a more stabilized economy. We have improved highways, including completion of Interstate 94 across the State; our educational system has expanded; and medical care facilities have made great advances. North Dakotans are proud people — proud of an abundance of good, clean air, elbow room in a healthy climate, and of being able to operate their State govern­ ment on a cash basis. State officials, departments, agencies and many other North Dakotans assisted in compiling data for the 1973 Blue Book. To each of them I extend my hearty thanks. I also thank Jay Bryant and Gladys Derrick for their help in compiling and editing this edition. Ben Meier Secretary of State Great Seal of North Dakota The Great Seal was prescribed in every detail by Section 207 of the Notch Dakota Constitution. It is a continuation of the Great Seal of the Territory of Dakota adopted at the second session of the legislature of Dakota Territory and described in Chapter 56 of the Session Laws of 1862-63. The only difference is in the arrange­ ment of the words of the motto: "Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, One and Inseparable" — a quotation from Webster's reply to Hayne. Following is Section 207 of the Constitution of North Dakota: "The following described seal is hereby declared to be and hereby constituted the Great Seal of "the State of North Dakota, to wit: A tree in the open field, the trunk of which is surrounded by three bundles of wheat; on the right a plow, anvil and sledge; on the left a bow crossed with three arrows, and an Indian on horseback pursuing a buffalo toward the setting sun; the foliage of the tree arched by a half circle of forty-two stars, surrounded by the motto 'Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, One and Inseparable'; the words 'Great Seal' at the top, and the words, 'State of North Dakota' at the bottom; 'October 1st' on the left and '1889' on the right. The seal to be two and one-half inches in diameter." The State Flag The flag of North Dakota shall consist of a field of blue silk or material which will withstand the elements four feet four inches on the pike and five feet six inches on the fly, with a border of knotted yellow fringe two and one- half inches wide. On each side of said flag in the center thereof, shall be embroidered or stamped an eagle with outspread wings and with opened beak. The eagle shall be three feet four inches from tip to tip of wing, and one foot ten inches from top of head to bottom of olive branch hereinafter described. The left foot of the eagle shall grasp a sheaf of arrows, the right foot shall grasp an olive branch showing three red berries. On the breast of the eagle shall be displayed a shield, the lower part showing seven red and six white stripes placed alternately. Through the open beak of the eagle shall pass a scroll bearing the words "E Pluribus Unum." Beneath the eagle there shall be a scroll on which shall be borne the words "North Dakota." Over the scroll carried through the eagle's beak shall be shown thirteen five-pointed stars, the whole device being surmounted by a sunburst. The flag shall conform in all respects as to color, form, size, and device with the regimental flag carried by the First North Dakota Infantry in the Spanish American War and Philippine Insurrection, except in the words shown on die scroll below the eagle. (Sec. 54-0202, N.D.C.C.) The Governor's Coat of Arms The Governor's Flag was created by the Thirty-fifth Legislative Assembly- Hie Coat of Arms, which can be used as a flag by adding white stars in the four corners, is described as follows: Device: On an Indian arrowhead point to base or a bend vert charged with three mullets of the first, in base a fleur-de-lis of the second. Crest: On a wreath or an azure, a sheaf of three arrows argent armed and flighted gules behind a stringed bow fessways or with grip of the second (gules). Motto: Strength from the soil. The colors of yellow-gold and green are indicative of the great agricultural State of North Dakota and has particular reference to ripening grain and the abundant grazing areas. The Indian arrowhead forms the shield of the Coat of Arms and symbolizes the "Sioux State." The three stars denote the trinity of government: legislative, executive and judicial. Each star In the bend Is given the heraldic value of thirteen which signifies the thirteen original colonies of the United States, and the cumulative numerical value of the three stars indicates that North Dakota was the thirty-ninth state admitted to the Union. The stars also allude to the history of the Territory under three foreign flags. Three stars are borne upon the Coat of Arms of Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition ana also on the Coat of Arms of Lord Selkirk, head of .the first permanent settlement In this State. The fleur-de-lis alludes to La Verendrye, a French explorer who was the first known white man to visit the territory of this State. The blue and gold wreath in the crest reflects the history of the territory as part of the Louisiana purchase. The crest which shall constitute the military crest of the State of North Dakota is a motif taken from the State Seal, and the Sioux Indian tribes signifies mighty warriors. The Coat of Arms may be used In a manner consistent with the respect and dignity due a state Coat of Arms and its symbolic values by the following persons, organiza­ tions and agencies: Governor of North Dakota; North Dakota National Guard; depart­ ments and agencies of the State of North Dakota; North Dakota veterans organizations; officially recognized North Dakota educational Institutions, systems, or divisions thereof; recognized North Dakota patriotic organizations. 6 The State Bird The meadowlark is a genus of American song birds belonging to the same family (Iceteridae) as the bobolink and the blackbirds. There are three species, all about the size of a robin. The plumage is generally brownish above, streaked and barred with black, and yellow below, with a black crescent on the breast. They are social birds. The Western Meadowlark (S. Neglecta) is somewhat lighter in color, having the yellow extending on to the cheeks, has a very different song consisting of loud ringing, flute- like notes; is found from Wisconsin to Texas and westward to the Pacific. The Western Meadowlark was named the official bird by the Thirtieth Legislative Assembly, March 10, 1947. The State Flower f.'S • ',. X1; The Wild Prairie Rose (rosa blanda or arkansana) was named the official state flower of North Dakota, March 7, 1(107.

    Sandpiper Pipeline: Comparison of Environmental Effects of Reasonable Alternatives In the Matter of the Application of North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC for a Certificate of Need for the Sandpiper Pipeline Project in Minnesota Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Docket CN-13-473 Minnesota Department of Commerce Energy Environmental Review and Analysis | December 2014 Sandpiper Pipeline: Comparison of Environmental Effects of Reasonable Alternatives Abstract North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC (NDPC) is proposing to construct the Sandpiper Project, a 565 to 608-mile long pipeline and associated facilities from the Tioga, North Dakota, through Minnesota to Superior, Wisconsin. On November 8, 2013, NDPC filed two applications with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (Commission): the first for a Certificate of Need (CN) and the second for a pipeline route permit for the project. The CN rules at Minn. R. 7853.0130 require, in determining if a certificate of need should be granted, that consideration be paid to the “natural and socioeconomic environments compared to the effects of reasonable alternatives,” and “the effect of the proposed facility, or a suitable modification of it, upon the natural and socioeconomic environments compared to the effect of not building the facility.” For the Sandpiper Project, the Commission concluded that an environmental analysis of six system alternatives, which were identified in the Route Permit docket, and six alternatives to the proposed project identified by NDPC in its CN application would provide it with valuable information to be weighed along with other information while making its need decision. This document is intended to provide that analysis. It is intended for the use of any party who chooses to advocate for or against consideration of an alternative in the certificate of need docket.
