TOLNA Back in 1905, the community that now is Tolna, was nothing but a slough. The pioneers became impatient, hauling all their supplies from Lakota, Bartlett, Lari- more, Cooperstown and other towns located on railroads. They decided to build the village. Among the new towns of North Dakota at that time, Tolna was perhaps the last to be built. Mr. Tallman, born in New Jersey, as a young man came west to Wilmar, Minne­ sota and proved to be an exceptional organizer and a promoter. He was associated with many companies, one a large area independent telephone company, which he sold to Northwestern Bell system. He had also become associated with James J. Hill in the railroading enterprises of those days. New lines were built into several states. Mr. Tallman got in on the ground floor of townsites, banks, and the like. He owned the quarter section of land the town Tolna was built on. On May 8, 1906, the town was surveyed. On May 25, 1906, the townsite was open for sale, and the building of the town began. Miss Tallman, daughter of Mr. Tallman, gave the village the name of Tolna. Mr. Tallman named the streets after his several daughters. It was also stipulated that the first baby born in the village would be given free land for a house. That baby was a girl, born to Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Heald. She was named Lillian Tolna Heald. Her birthdate was Sept. 26, 1906. The quarter section of land the town was built on is in sections 10 and 11, town­ ship 150, range 61, Nelson County, twenty-three miles south of Lakota, three miles south of Stump Lake, and three miles north of the Sheyenne River. The country surrounding the little village is fertile farming land, settled by a thrifty class of people, many coming here in 1881. Lumber and materials for the buildings were brought in by teams and steam traction engines, as fast as possible and carpenters by the score were fashioning the materials into places of business and residences. In 1906, the Great Northern Railroad built a secondary mainline from Aneta to Devils Lake, which came thru Tolna. It was necessary to construct a bridge across the Great Stony Coulee east of town. This great bridge when finished was 1,054 feet from span to span and about 68 feet above the lowest part of Stony Coulee. The G. N. R. Co. bought thirty acres of land in the Coulee for a water reservoir. They also bought a gravel pit. In 1907, the tank crew built the water tank and laid the pipes to the reservoir for the railroad. Mr. A. A. Kobe was the first depot agent. The first train came thru Tolna, August 29, 1907. In October 1907, J.J. Hill, president of the G. N. R. Co. passed thru Tolna on a special train going west. February 9, 1907, Tolna voted to incorporate and become a village. April 4, 1907, election was held. Reorganization was held May 14, 1907. Officers elected were as follows: - 1 - «nIBffil uwlflwH tiltIf V'U'^gSS HS ^^./jSPW*'^'' Building the Great Stony Coulee Bridge in 1906. - 2 - Trustees - Geo. Magoris - T. S. Ouim - R. D. Heald.

Ottofy Store and Post Office located in Bergan Township on the farm now owned by Magnus Ensrud served people living south and east of Tolna until 1907 when the railroad came to Pekin and Tolna. The stock was sold to Eidsvog and Gunderson and they started a store in Pekin. Post Masters at Ottofy were S. D. Wangsness, John Iverson, and Inga Stugberg. Harrisburg was located east of Stump Lake. John O'Brien was the post master here. Harrisburg had several business places, but ceased to operate when the railroad was built to Lakota. Crosier was located 3 miles southeast of Tolna. Edward Hollander was the post master here. Tollef Hensrud carried mail from Harrisburg to Crosier to Ottofy to Michael Deehr and Pete Bolkau for distribution 3 times a week. August 15, 1907, Hensrud made his last trip with mail from Harrisburg to Tolna. Simon Myhre will carry the mail to Tolna until the mail can be delivered by train. October 14, 1907, mail to Tolna was delivered by train. Crosier Post Office was moved to Tolna in 1906. Hollander was the post master. Mail service at Tolna had the following schedule: Outgoing mail 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Incoming mail at 4:00 p.m. the same days. John Holden picked up the mail at Ottofy, Crosier, and Harrisburg and delivered it to Lakota; bringing the mail back from Lakota to Harrisburg to Crosier, and Ottofy on his return trip on a Star Route basis. Prior to the years of 1905 the area was served by the five country post offices. In 1906 Dissmore resigned as post master. Edward Hollander moved from Crosier Post Office into the townsite. The building, now the old telephone office, once a Dissmore building, was moved into town from 5 miles north of Tolna, becoming the post office. March 28, 1907, Ted Deehr was temporarily in charge of the post office. In 1909 the Rural Route north of town was established. The annual salary was $600.00. During the year of 1910, J. A. Palmer became post master. Assisting him was Winslow. April, 1911, mail was being received daily by fast train #27. December, 1913, Mrs. Emil Glans (Hildegaarde) became post master, moving the post office to the Glans Drug Store. Two years later J. J. Schindele took postal examination - 5 - at Devils Lake and became post master until March, 1920. Schindele moved the office into his hardware store, (vacant lot between present post office and Hoyts Cafe.) B. A. Hennesey (Mrs. Ivan Hennesey) was the next post master running the post office with the Tolna Tribune in the old hotel building (site of present fire hall) until 1928, then moving to the old harness shop building (site of present REA building.) Ivan Hennesey was acting post master from April 30, 1939, until May 1, 1941, when W. G. Ward, Jr. became post master, moving the post office temporarily into the Larson building. (Hansing residence at present.) A new building was built north of Gronaas Floral Shop November 11, 1941. The post office remained there until October 31, 1961, when it was moved into the present post office. W. G. Ward, Jr. has been serving since as post master except for two years, 1944 to 1946, when he was in the navy. At that time Genevieve Ward was appointed acting post master. Mail came to Tolna by train from Fargo and Devils Lake six times a week until 1957, when it was delivered from Fargo by truck. In 1964 the mail came by truck from Devils Lake to Pekin as it does today. The first appointed carrier on the Tolna Route north of town was Olin Sessions, Sr. He carried mail 3 times a week. He held this position until 1931 when Askil Snortland became the carrier and served until his death in 1968.

    © Copyright 2015 Alexander James Morrow i Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: James N. Gregory, Chair Moon-Ho Jung Ileana Rodriguez Silva Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History ii University of Washington Abstract Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James Gregory Department of History This dissertation explores the economic and cultural (re)definition of labor and laborers. It traces the growing reliance upon contingent work as the foundation for industrial capitalism along the Pacific Coast; the shaping of urban space according to the demands of workers and capital; the formation of a working class subject through the discourse and social practices of both laborers and intellectuals; and workers’ struggles to improve their circumstances in the face of coercive and onerous conditions. Woven together, these strands reveal the consequences of a regional economy built upon contingent and migratory forms of labor. This workforce was hardly new to the American West, but the Pacific Coast’s reliance upon contingent labor reached its apogee after World War I, drawing hundreds of thousands of young men through far flung circuits of migration that stretched across the Pacific and into Latin America, transforming its largest urban centers and working class demography in the process. The presence of this substantial workforce (itinerant, unattached, and racially heterogeneous) was out step with the expectations of the modern American worker (stable, married, and white), and became the warrant for social investigators, employers, the state, and other workers to sharpen the lines of solidarity and exclusion.

  • The Industrial Workers of the World in the Seattle General Strike - Colin M
    The Industrial Workers of the World in the Seattle general strike - Colin M. Anderson An attempt to find out the IWW's actual involvement in the Seattle General Strike of 1919, which has been hampered by myths caused by the capitalist press and AFL union leaders of the time. The Seattle General Strike is an event very important in the history of the Pacific Northwest. On February 6, 1919 Seattle workers became the first workers in United States history to participate in an official general strike. Many people know little, if anything, about the strike, however. Perhaps the momentousness of the event is lost in the fact that the strike took place without violence, or perhaps it is because there was no apparent visible change in the city following the event. But the strike is a landmark for the U.S. labor movement, and is very important, if for no there reason, for what it stands for. Workers expressed their power through a massive action of solidarity, and demonstrated to the nation the potential power of organized labor. This was at a time when labor was generally divided over ideological lines that prevented them from achieving such mass action very often. For many at the time, however, the strike represented something else: something more sinister and extreme. To many of the locals in Seattle the strike was the beginning of an attempted revolution by the Industrial Workers of the World and others with similar radical tendencies. These people saw the putting down of the strike was the triumph of patriotism in the face of radicalism gone too far.

  • Legacy, Memory, and the Seattle General Strike Of
    “I’VE TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE GOOD AMERICANS OUT OF YOU”: LEGACY, MEMORY, AND THE SEATTLE GENERAL STRIKE OF 1919 by KATHRYN GREY AMMON Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: ________________ Dr. Jonathan Hagel Thesis Adviser ________________ Dr. David Farber Committee Member ________________ Dr. David Roediger Committee Member _________________________ Date Defended Abstract: This historical project explores competing legacies and formation of memory within the Seattle General Strike of 1919 both in its after effects on the Seattle Labor Movement and the nation as a whole through the First Red Scare. This paper is divided into three chapters, an examination of the strike, national and local media coverage of the strike, and an examination of national and local repercussions from the strike. The Seattle General Strike of 1919 existed within an intersection of many disparate movements—and truly has been memorialized as more than the sum of its parts. The Seattle General Strike has not been evaluated within the context of differing pro-capitalist and pro-worker solidarity viewpoints and how these two stories split, which this thesis will do. 1 Introduction It was ten in the morning of February 6, 1919 when the church bells in Seattle, Washington rang out their usual chimes. Several schoolchildren, likely as young as nine years old stood up, quietly packed their bags, and walked out of their school room. As they walked out the double doors of the school, one teacher yelled after them. “There you go,” said the teacher, “to join those Bolsheviki, when I’ve tried so hard to make good Americans out of you.”1 These children were not just school pupils—they were workers with a union job, specifically, they were members of the newsboys’ union.
