A History of Dickey County, North Dakota A History of Dickey County, North Dakota BY THE DICKEY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Edited by R. M. BLACK President, State Normal and Industrial School Published by THE DIC~EY COU~TY HISTORICAL SOCIETY ELLEXDALE, XORTH DAKOTA 1930 COPYRIGHT 1930 By the Dickey County Historical Society To the Pioneers of Dickey County and their successors-- the fathers, mothers and children of today-- this book is affectionately dedicated . by its compilers and authors Preface The history of a people is interesting not only as a record of events but more particularly a record of the aspirations, struggles and idea.ls of those ·who have made it possible for those of the present generation to make happy home~ and to enjoy the privileges and opportunities which are to be had by those who seek them. Dickey County, North Dakotc:1, is relatively young, but a whole generation of people have grown up within its borders since it was first settled. At the same time there are, at ·the time this history is written many of the original pioneers still living, and in fact taking an active part in the civic, social and business activities in the communities of this county. These pioneers did a splendid work, and they more than any one else know and appreciate the hardships, toils and hopes of the early days. To preserve the records of what they attempted and achieved and hand on something of the vision that guided them, the Dickey County Historical Society was organized. That Society is now attempting to collect and preserve the incidents and implements of the early settlers. It was early suggested that a record in historical form would be of general interest to all the citizens. A meeting was called at Fullerton in the summer of 1924, and at that meeting Mr. Alex Alin, Mr. T. R. Shimmin, Mrs. T. R. Shimmin, Mr. Ira A. Barnes, Mr. E. F. Stevens, Mrs. E. F. Stevens, Mrs. Katherine Pollock Goddard, Mrs. Mary Flemington Strand and Mr. R. M. Black were present. General plans were considered and a committee of five were selected to give the matter further consideration. This committee consisted of Mr. Ira A. Barnes, Mr. Alex Alin, Mrs. Frances Folsom, Mr. T. R. Shimmin and Mrs. Amy Northrop Magoffin. A meeting of all citizens of the county who were interested in a historical society was called at the Court House on the second day of the County Fair of 1924. From this meeting a permanent organization of the Society was effected, and the sentiment was very favorable to publishing a history from material to be collected. The following officers were elected: President, l\1r. Ira Barnes; Vice-President, Mr. T. R. Shimmin; Secretary-Treasurer, Miss Blanche Stevens. The official board then named consisted of the following people, Mr. Ira Barnes, Mr. T. R. Shimmin, Mr. E. F. Stevens, Mr. Alex Alin, Mrs. Florence Folson, Mrs. Eb Magoffin and Mrs. Gertrude Linville. The Executive Committee employed Mr. Dana Wright of James­ to\vn as field man and he spent twenty-four days in the county collecting material from old settlers in which work he was helped by members of the committee. This 1naterial and other as collected was turned over to Presi­ dent R. M. Black of the State Normal and Industrial School who was selected by the Historical Society as an editor for the purpose of drawing out a logical and consecutive account of the historical events of the county. The book now offered to the public is the result of editing these stories and incidents. The plan of the book is to give a general story of the county as a unit in the first nine chapters. Then each township and the two cities of Ellendale and Oakes each have a chapter, after which a brief story of the part the county took in the World War is given in the last chapter. Neither the his­ tory nor the list of pioneers mentioned in the text is complete, as in many cases it has been impossible to find the records and also the size of the volume has made it necessary to condense and abridge frequently. The at­ tempt has been made to include ~any characteristic stories to give the ac­ count the flavor of the early times. It is to be regretted that all the stories of the pioneers cannot be included. Much credit is due to Major Dana Wright for his careful and pains­ taking work in getting the narratives, and to Miss Blanche Stevens for making possible the publication of the history through her ,vise business management. Mr. Barnes has rendered constant aid, and the memory of many of the pioneers has been drawn upon to complete the record. Acknow­ ledgement is rnade in the heading of each chapter. Mistakes have probably crept in, and for such the editor and committee ask your indulgence. It is hoped the book will be found interesting, and from the stimulus it may give, that all who can do so will contribute their stories and relics to the museum and repository that the Society is building at the County Court House.

  • April 12, 2021 the Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota
    April 12, 2021 The Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota 600 E. Boulevard Bismarck, ND 58505 Dear Governor Burgum, As organizations representing physicians, long-term care providers and hospitals, we, the undersigned, sincerely thank you for your leadership throughout the pandemic. As North Dakota’s infection rates climbed and deaths increased, you recognized that local control efforts were not enough and took charge by implementing stronger controls to stop the spread. We applaud you for placing health needs and saving lives before politics. We, the undersigned, oppose HB 1323, as it eliminates authority for the governor and state health officer when North Dakota needs it most – during a pandemic. Your leadership of implementing a state-wide mask mandate significantly reduced COVID-19 infections throughout North Dakota. Statistics show North Dakota went from a high of 11,301 current infections on November 14 to 4,758 infections on December 7 – a 58 percent reduction. During this same period, North Dakota’s 14 day rolling average of positivity went from 15.70 percent on November 14 to 9.79 percent on December 6. Your actions saved lives. North Dakota’s infection rates were the highest in the country. People were dying. The most vulnerable – the elderly and long-term care residents – became the highest COVID-19 war casualties. Although this group represented only 10 percent of infections, statistics show this group resulted in 60 percent of deaths. We lost mothers, fathers, grandparents and loved ones way too soon, leaving survivors to deal with war-torn scars. As we learned from experience, voluntary mask requests and localized mandates are not effective.

The States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada and Texas file this suit to compel the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“ Administrator ” or “ EPA ”), to take action mandated by the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7401 et seq. (the “ CAA ”) to designate areas of the country as attaining or not attaining the revised primary sulfur dioxide (“ SO 2”) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“ NAAQS ”). On June 2, 2010 the Administrator signed and EPA promulgated the revised SO 2 NAAQS. See 75 Fed. Reg. 35,520 (June 22, 2010) (the “ SO 2 NAAQS ”). Once EPA sets a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires States to submit within one year to EPA information indicating which part of that State meets the new or revised NAAQS. 42 U.S.C. § 7407(d). Plaintiffs the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada and Texas each timely submitted to EPA their proposed designations. The CAA then establishes a nondiscretionary duty for the Administrator to designate all areas of the country as (1) “attainment” (if they are attaining the new or revised NAAQS), (2) “nonattainment” (if they are not attaining the NAAQS), or (3) “unclassifiable” (if there is inadequate information to make a designation).

  • Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? a Regression Discontinuity Design
    1 Paper Presented for 5th Annual Public Finance Consortium— “Politics and Administration in Public Finance” School of Public and Environmental Affairs Indiana University, Bloomington Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? A Regression Discontinuity Design Can Chen, PhD Associate Professor Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Georgia State University Boyuan Zhao PhD Candidate Department of Public Policy and Administration Florida International University Please do not cite this paper without the authors’ permission. 1 2 INTRODUCTION Recently, a growing number of politicians with prominent business backgrounds are joining the battlefield of politics, running for key positions in offices. Donald Trump is the most recent example of a U.S. president who has constructed his own successful business empire before his political life. At state level, successful business figures have turned into politics and won governorship in different states. For example, Rick Scott, the 45th governor of Florida, was the owner of Hospital Corporation of America and a venture capitalist, and Kevin Stitt, current governor of Oklahoma, was the founder, chairman and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group. These candidates have successful executive experience as business leaders, while many of them have little or no experience in public offices prior to their governor tenure. Their professional career path distinctively contrasts with “conventional” career politicians who typically hold law degrees, start their career from legal affair positions, and climb up the political ladder gradually. State governors are key actors in the budgeting process of the states. Governors are responsible for budget development and recommendation, in which promote their policy preference. Besides, they have line-item veto power on the state budget.

In the Ravine: And Other Short StoriesBy Stephen BalbachEleven short stories and one novella (In the Ravine) by Anton Chekhov, as read by British actor Kenneth Branagh in 2002. The stories are:The Trousseau (1883)Fat and Thin (1883)Oh! the Public! (1885)Misery (1886)An Actor's End (1886)Children (1886)The Chorus Girl (1886)The Orator (1886)Hush! (1886)The Beggar (1887)A Story Without a Title (1888)Overall very good although it helps to read along with the text since some of the Russian vocabulary and names are difficult to track by audio alone. It is the Constance Garnett translation, freely available online. In the Ravine is the best, a wide and colorful portrait of peasant village life - a tragic story though. "Misery" is very good. "Children" does a good job at evoking childhood. "The Chorus Girl" is also well done. The CD says "Abridged" even though all the stories are Unabridged.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.
