DAKOTA TERRITORIAL CAPITOL FIRST NORTH DAKOTA CAPITOL Yankton, South Dakota Bismarck, North Dakota 1861-1883 L889-1930 DEDICATION TO PIONEERS

The Citizens of the State of North Dakota, during the "Golden Jubilee," pause to observe its fifty years of statehood and to recognize the contribution made by the early pioneers, both living and dead, to the upbuilding of the commonwealth. From its virgin prairies of seventy years ago those early settlers, through periods of priva­ WiH tion and hardship, planned and built a great i ii - State. We cherish the traditions that have been our heritage and find new inspiration as we review their heroic deeds. I II I May the generations that have and will follow the path they blazed, be ever conscious of their obligation to the pioneers.

Seventy-five years ago the prairies of Dakota Territory we're unbroken save for a few trading and military posts. The plains then were the- home of roving tribes of Indians. Fifty years ago. the- pioneers of Dakota Territory, having established their frontier communities and strong in their young courage, turned their eyes to the future. They had the vision and the- energy to build a commonwealth. Their unrelenting efforts towards unity culminated on Nov. '2. ISS'.l. when North Dakota was admitted as one of the sovereign states of the union. This year we an- observing fifty years of statehood. Hut it is more than a phrase. We observe fifty years of progress. Now we meet in Bismarck and later in other communities of the state to pay our heartfelt tribute to I he brave men anil women who peopled Dakota Territory anil made- of it a state. We recall with pride- thai they were the architects who planned and the builders who moulded the great state that North Dakota is today. In common with the other citizens of North Dakota, I am humble in the presence of the pioneers. I am honored and pleased to ho able to extend to them all a sincere welcome to this, the state celebration of North Dakota's Golden Jubilee. And it is our wish thai we, the citizens of today, e-vc-r shall uphold the noble traditions that they established yesterday.

"hieither snoiv, nor rain, nor heat nor night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." The above words appear ever the portals of the New Vorh pnsl office.

Through winter's cold and summer's heat; through two major wars and border conflicts; through good times and bad; through joyful harvest and drear depression The Bismarck Tribune has served t he Territory and State of North Dakota. It has suffered in three fires and has been published from five different buildings but it has never missed a scheduled publication in the 66 years of its existence. For more than two-thirds of a century it has upheld the highest principles of the newspaper profession. It has sought to find and publish the truth, that the people of a great state might have honest light by which to guide their destiny.

The management and employes of North Dakota's oldest newspaper take this opportunity to pledge their continued allegiance to the faith of its founders, and to publicly express their confidence in the destiny of North Dakota and its people through this jubilee and others yet to come.

NORTH DAKOTA, Hold to Your Traditions!

Webster defines tradition as a belief or custom handed down to posterity. What are North Dakota traditions ? The will to labor for a home; to forego the easy road for the hard road to success! The dream of a great state to come for the future generations! The strength of character to hold to this purpose in spite of adversity. These are the traditions of North Dakota. These traditions have given North Dakota all the fame and fortune it has accumulated. These traditions, recognized by the people, will carry North Dakota on to a greater inheritance.

EPISODE ONE "IN THE BEGINNING" In the beautiful story of creation we lead that first, Cud made the earth, but all was yet darkness; He caused light to appear, but there was yet no life to enjoy and benefil from it; He then created many beautiful tilings and lastly He made man in His own image. This ballet, which symbolizes the appearance of living tilings upon the earth, is culminated by the appearance of man. In the distance wo see weird figures doing a fantastic anil ghostly dance, As the light becomes brighter we see the appearance of Flowers, Trees, Land, Sky and Rivers. Together they do a gay rhythmic dance which increases in speed as the glory and beauty of Life are fell more fully. As Ihe dance is at its height, Man appears .

Page Twenty-six EPISODE TWO "THE FIRST INHABITANTS OF NORTH DAKOTA" Before the white man came to North Dakota in 1738, the land was occupied by several tribes of Indians—notably the Mandan, Hidatsi, Arikaras, Assiniboines, Sioux, Cheyennes and Chippewas. The Sioux were the natural enemies of all tribes with whom they were not allied. They had no permanent villages, roaming the plains instead of raising corn and vegetables as did many of the other tribes. It was not until after the white man came, supplying the Indians with guns, ammunition and intoxicating liquor and taking their land that the history of North Dakota's early days became a gruesome story of bloody wars, surprise attacks and massacres conducted by various bands of Indians against one another and the whites. First white man to enter North Dakota was a French explorer, Verendrye, in 1738, who was followed by many other French fur traders and by representatives of the Northwest Company and the Hudson Bay Company. Prominent among these was Alexander Henry, who led an expedition of white men to the Red River Valley in 1800. By 1805 the Dakotas were overrun by traders. The Indians, themselves, had no objections to the traders, for the opportunity to trade gave them means to buy essentials. We depict a band of Indians in their camp engaged in peaceful pursuits and their subsequent trading at a Fort on Park River. INDIANS William Dohn, Vincent Kaline, Lee Hicks, J. A.

EPISODE THREE "THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION" Soon after the beginning of his term of office, President Thomas Jefferson became interested in sending a party to explore the valley of the Missouri River. The explorers were to trace the river to its source and find the best water communication to the Pacific Ocean. In 1803 he commissioned Captain Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the region of the Northwest, much of which was in the Louisiana territory. In May, 1804, Lewis and Clark with a well-provisioned party left St. Louis on their great western journey. They had expected difficulty with the hostile savages but found their greatest dlifficulties in navigating the Missouri River. They spent the winter of 1804-05 west of Washburn on the north side of the river from Fort Clark. Here they raised the Flag Christmas Day, 1804—the first time an American flag flew in North Dakota. It was at Fort Mandan that Sakakawea, the "Bird Woman," joined the expedition. A Shoshone Indian, captured at the age of eleven by the Missouri River Indians and sold to Charbonneau, her French husband, she had traveled much of the country east and west of the Rockies and was able to furnish valuable information to Lewis and Clark. Shu was the only woman to accompany the expedition and was guide, interpreter and protector. Much of the success of the expedition can be attributed to Sakakawea. In the spring of 1805 as soon as the ice had gone out of the river, the boats were launched again, the journey was continued westward and Lewis and Clark saw the Pacific for the first time late in the same year. We portray a scene in the camp of Lewis and Clark at Fort Mandan. II. .1.

EPISODE FOUR "MILITARY POSTS" The fur trading period merged into an era of the establishment of military posts in what is now North Dakota. These were made necessary by the fact that the great number of Indians living here were seldom peaceful in the genuine sense—so it was necessary to have armed forces ready for use if necessary. Despite all the hardships, constant fear of attack by hostile Indians and the lonely life in the territory, there was amusement at the trading posts and forts. A few music boxes and pianos had found their way into gome of the officers' quarters and army men on leave to the states would bring back the newest books and their ladies, the latest in styles. Almost any occasion was used as an excuse for a party and the officers and their wives would gather in a parlor to play games, cards or dance. We show a group of officers and their wives at one of these gatherings in Fort Abercrombie and the dancing of the Virginia Reel.

EPISODE FIVE "THE NORTHERN PACIFIC" Without the presence of the military the Northern Pacific Railroad could not have been built. In 1870 Thomas H. Canfield located the route so that it crossed the Red River at what is now Fargo and then called Central!*, In 1872, he decided upon the spot where the road should cross the Missouri River and t here located the town of Edwinton. later named Bismarck, for the purpose of attracting German capital for the completion of the road. The first rail was laid within the limits of North Dakota January 1, 1872. June, 1873, it was completed as far as Bismarck. As work went on, difficulties with the Indians arose and it was necessary for troops from Fort Abraham Lincoln to accompany the surveyors and workers. We show a Northern Pacific surveying party guarded by troops being attacked by a band of Sioux.

Page Twenty-eight EPISODE SIX "THE BEGINNING OF CUSTER'S LAST STAND" One of the most serious Indian wars ever to occur in any portion of the United States took place during 1876, with the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes. Gold had been discovered within their reservation and miners persisted in intruding. The Sioux grew restless and finally were driven to resist under their chiefs Red Cloud, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. Two thousand United States troops were sent to suppress the hostiles but army officials failed to realize the extent of the discontent. One of the three detachments of cavalry was under George A. Custer and his final march westward began from Fort Abraham Lincoln. Custer had expected to encounter five hundred Indians. Instead, two or three thousand warriors, flushed with victory over Major Reno, came charging down upon his force with un-Indian-like recklessness. It was too late to turn back and Custer met the rush as best he could. Not a man survived to tell the tale of that fight. The soldiers who were slain had friends or acquaintances and some had wives and children living here, so to the people of Bismarck and the Missouri Slope, Custer's battle was a frightful event. News of the battle and its results reached Bismarck late in the evening of July 5, ten days after the battle had taken place, and was first published in The Bismarck Tribune July 6. We show the beginning of Custer's march west from Fort Abraham Lincoln and the men's farewells to their wives and families. GENERAL CUSTER—Lorin Duemcland MRS. CUSTER—Kathleen Ray Richard Akland, I'.

EPISODE SEVEN "EARLY TRANSPORTATION BY OX CART AND STAGE COACH" After the discovery of gold in the Black Hills during the 1870's, a great business was built up transporting freight and passengers between Medora and Deadwood. Passengers were carried by stage coach. Freight was moved by ox trains, often a mile or more in length, a method which was slow but fairly efficient if neither the Indians nor road agents succeeded in making off with the freight. This scene depicts the hazards of travel in the early days. Mr. and Mrs. F. J. GUlenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Reff and Mr. and Mrs. Dure Maddock.

EPISODE EIGHT "IMMIGRATION" During the 1880's many home-seekers came into North Dakota, attracted by reports of the fertility of the land. From Ontario came the Scotch and Irish and from Minnesota and Wisconsin came many Civil War veterans, arriving to take up free land in payment for their services in the war. A sturdy foreign element contributed much to the upbuilding of the state—in the Red River Valley the Scandinavians, the Icelanders and the Bohemians—and through the west and central portions the Germans, Ukrainians, Russians and Scandinavians. Some of these people came In covered wagons drawn by ox teams and mules, while others, coming later, arrived by train. Many were the hardships faced by these homeseekers and a brave lot they were. Roads were poor, where they existed at all, and doctors were few and far between. We portray several families of these sturdy folk seeking a new home.

KITSODE TEN "EDUCATION" Claim shack schools taught by pioneer mothers, schools held at ranch licenses and those in primitive quarter* at a few of the larger fur and military posts were the beginning of an educational system in North Dakota. Firs! school building in an organized school district was built in 1876, at Pembina, with Frank A. Wardwell as tin. her. By the time North Dakota was admitted to the Union there was a well organized system of education with 1,862 schools in operation,

Me,d. by AMERICAN WINE CO- STLOUIS sine. 1859 Zed OwM FoodStohe* Page Thirty The individual who did move than anyone else to insure free public education for children of North Dakota was General Beadle, Civil War veteran, whose untiring efforts resulted in the writing' into the Enabling Act the provision that public school land could not be sold for loss than $10 an acre. Sections 16 and 26 of every township were set aside as school lands, with the income to be placed in a permanent school fund. The state University opened in 1891!, but was nearly forced to close in 1895 through the governor's vetoing the necessary legislative appropriation. It was kept open only through the heroic sacrifices of a few professors under President Merrifield, all of whom donated their services and secured contributions from citizens.

EPISODE ELEVEN "AGRICULTURE" While buffalo were being exterminated in the western part of the state and ranchers were coming in, bonanza wheat farming was becoming the principal agricultural interest in the Red River Valley and the eastern third of North Dakota. However, as the eras of depressions came along, this kind of farming failed as a money-making business. Through the efforts of specialists of the Department of Agriculture and State Agricultural College, people were gradually brought to realize they must practice a diversified agriculture. Oscar H. Will of Bismarck, one of the pioneer seed men of the state, secured corn from the Indians, developed it and thus greatly aided in making that grain one of North Dakota's important crops. We present "BEAUTY AND FERTILITY," an allegorical ballet in which we see corn and wheat gently waving in the Breeze. Suddenly rain comes—almost beating down the grain—and then the sun appears, spreading warmth and bringing a beautiful rainbow. SUN—Airnes Ann Robinson Dancers: .loan Mint.in.

EPISODE TWELVE "THE LAYING OF THE CORNERSTONE OF THE CAPITOL IN 1883" In 1883 the territorial legislature of Dakota passed an act providing for the removal of the Capitol from Yankton to some place more convenient and accessible to the inhabitants generally. A commission of nine persons was author­ ized to select the new location, the only condition being that the place chosen had to donate to the territory 160 acres of land and should contribute $100,000 for the erection of the Capitol Building. Aberdeen, Huron, Sioux Kails and Pierre campaigned vigorously for the capitol but Bismarck was selected by the commission. Much of the credit is due Ales McKenzie for the transfer. South Dakotans were furious, denouncing the commission in the strongest possible terms. September 5, 1883, the cornerstone of the new territorial edifice was laid at Bismarck with attendant celebration, A trainload of dignitaries arrived which included President Grant as well as foreign representatives from Germany, England and other European countries, on their way to the driving of the last spike to complete the Northern Pacific railroad at Gold Creek, Mont., Sept. 8, 1883.

EPISODE THIRTEEN "THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION IN 188!)" The congress of the United States in an act of February 22, L889. provided Por the division of the Territory <>i Dakota. The area lying north of the boundary was to constitute the State of North Dakota. The area was to be apportioned into twenty-five districts, three delegates to a constitutional Convention to lie elected from each district. The convention was to be held at Bismarck July 4, 1889. In accordance with provisions of the Enabling Act, seventy-five delegates assembled In convention at Bismarck and framed the Constitution of North Dakota, beginning their work July 4, 1881). A parade was held in Bismarck in which several hundred Indians, militia companies from various parts of the state and many patriotic organizations took part. After the parade, party caucasing began in the streets, hotel lobbies and wherever there was a group of people. On the morning of July 5, delegates caucased according to their party affiliations and agreed upon permanent officers. Frederick B. Fancher, now living in Los Angeles, Calif., was elected chairman. We present a scene of July 4, 1889, and the parade on that day. (PERSONNEL OF PREVIOUS EPISODES)

Page Thirty-two EPISODE FOURTEEN "THE FIRST LEGISLATURE" The first state legislature assembled November 19, 1889, and .continued in session 12(1 clays. It enacted laws dealing with state banks, schools and school lands, prohibition, railroad property, state institutions, medicine and the abolishment of the grand jury system and the substitution of informations by the state's attorney instead of indict­ ments. Certain members of the legislature attempted to pass a law whereby the Louisiana Lottery scheme, which had been denied an extension of its charter in Louisiana, could be established and perpetuated in North Dakota. The bill passed the Senate by two-thirds of the vote. Governor Miller then marshalled the forces opposed to the lottery. Funds were raised to circulate petitions, articles were published in the papers and letters were secured from prominent business men in some of the largest cities in the east and presented to the House. Upon taking a vote of the House the measure secured less than the number of votes which would have assured its passage. This scene shows the House in session and the discussion and voting on the measure regarding the Louisiana Lottery. (PERSONNEL OF PREVIOUS EPISODES)

It was a war to end all wars—a war to make the world safe for democracy. We pause to pay tribute to the courageous men and women in the World War. To these men and women we are greatly indebted, to those within our midst and those in Flanders Fields we dedicate these tableaux. Earl Shafer Roland Grover, Norman Howard, Carl Gaastjon, Wil- Knute Anderson, Thomaa Wrangham, Anton .1. Benson unci Patrick Ham Petuson, Charles Buckman, .leilin Karaslewicz, Oscar Becker. .1. Cox.

EPISODE SEVENTEEN "THE BURNING OF THE CAPITOL" Early in the morning of December 28, 1930, citizens of Bismarck were alarmed with news thai the Capitol Building was burning. The loss ran into millions of dollars. While the majority of valuable records were destroyed, among those saved was the original copy of the Constitution of the State of North Dakota, which Secretary of Stale Robert Byrne rescued from his office. Quarters for the various State Departments were immediately set up in the Liberty Memorial Building on the capitol grounds and other buildings in the City of Bismarck. The present Capitol Building, one of the most modern in the world and of which citizens of North Dakota may be justly proud, was started in L932 and cm pleted in 1934. We present a fireworks display portraying the burning of the Capitol Building.

EPISODE EIGHTEEN "THE MASQUE OF NATIONS AND THE WHEEL OF PROGRESS" We now have completed the panorama that has been North Dakota, but before we close this record of achievement it is our desire to grant you a glimpse of our hopes for the future. YOUTH who will hold in its hand and carry upon its "shoulders the future'of the State of North Dakota, presents the dances anil chills of the many nationalities thai today are North Dakotans. A mighty wheel is formed and as it revolves, symbolizes the progress of North Dakota from its small beginning up to the present, suggesting the great things in store lor our stale m the future, The audience is requested to join with the cast in singing the Star Spangled Banner.
