CHARLES CAVALIER.
AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS THE
VETERAN NORTH DAKOTAN
DIES AT HIS HOME IN PEMBINA
—THE OLDEST WHITE SETTLER
IN THE STATE AND FIRST COL­
LECTOR OF CUSTOMS FOR DIS­
TRICT OF MINNESOTA.
Pembina, N. D., July 2S.—Chas. E.
Cavileer died this morning after a few
hours' illness, aged S4.
Chiles Cavileer, known far and
wide as the "Father of Pembina," en­
joyed the unique distinction of being
not only the oldest living settler of
this portion of the Red River valley,
but likewise of the whole state of
North Dakota. A full and complete
history of the life of this prominent
and influential pioneer of pioneers,
since coming to this .portion would
present to our minds most clearly the
wonderful growth and development
that has come to this favored portion*
of the republic. The interest that
naturally attends the narration of the
life history of the pioneer is, in his
case, made doubly strong by the fact
that in all the many years of his resi­
dence here, he has taken a leading and
prominent part in the political business
and official life of this, his adopted
home.

Mr. Cavileer was born in Springfield,
Clark county, Ohio, March 6, ISIS, ajid
js the son of Charles and Rachel
(Trease) Cavileer, natives of Maine and
Pennsylvania, respectively. Receiv­
ing in his native place the rudiments
of common-school education, at the
age of 17 he removed to Mount Carmel,
Wa/bash county, Illinois, where he
learned the saddler's trade. There
he remained, working as a journey
man, until 1S41. In that year he
moved to Minnesota and for a time
made his home at Red Rock, near St.
Paul. In 1S45, in that young city, Mr.
Cavalier established the pioneer har­
ness shop of the Sjtate of Minnesota.
This he continued for two years. In
1848, in company with a Mr. Dewey, he
opened the first drag store in St. Paul
and the state. In 1848 Mr. Cavifeer
was appointed by Governor Alexander
Ramsey to the position of first terri­
torial librarian. This office he con­
tinued to hold until, in 1851. he was
appointed by President Fillmore the
first collector of customs for the dis­
trict of Minnesota. Pembina was the
port of entry for the district and

thither he moyed. He settled down
to his official duties, which at that
time, not only had to do with the cus­
toms. but he was also representative
of all the other civil branches of the
United States government. August
17, 1S51, in company with Commodore
Norman W. Kittson, he arrived at
what is now Pembna. In 1853 Mr.
Cavileer, in partnership with N. W.
Kittson and W. H. Forbes, engaged in
the fur trade. At the end of three
years, Mr. Forbes having withdrawn.
Mr. Cavileer with Mr. Kittson, formed
a partnership with Messrs. Culver, Far-\
rington and Sargent and engaged in.
some line of business. This continued
for two years. These five years were
doubtless the most exciting ones in a
life replete with adventurous incidents.
It was during this time that he made
regular', trips to St Paul, with trains
of from 80 to 100 "Red River carts"
loaded with furs and pelts. These
trips were long and wearisome and
often dangerous from bands of roving
Indians and stampeding herds of buf­
falo.
Mr. Cavileer, in 1863, returned to
Pembina, he having, in the discharge
of his business cares, resided both at
St. Joseph, aibout thirty miles to the
westward, at the foot of the Pembina
Mountains, and at Winnipeg. In 1804
he was commissioned postmaster, a po­
sition which he held until 1884, when
the weight of increasing years caused
him to resign in favor of his son, Ed­
mund. The original plat of the city
of Pembina was laid out by the sub­
ject of this sketch and this was added
to in the shaipe of an extensive addi­
tion in 1S78, when railroad connections
with the centers of trade showed the
need for enlarging the limits of the
city.
In his earlier Hays Mr. Cavileer was
a regular correspondent of the Smith­
sonian Institute, of Washington, D.
His sketches of pioneer days and
graphic descriptions of scenes and
characters are the delight of his friends
and neighbors, and the old settlers
generally. These sketches, wliich have
been mostly for local pap ere and pio­
neer society meetings, are in the plain,
blunt, straightforward and to the point
style of the western plainsman, but
have a deep undercurrent of humor
wholly his own.
Manch 13, 1857, Mr. Cavalier was
united in marriage with Miss Isabella
Murry, who was then 16 years of- age.
She was a lassie of Scottish ancestry,
daughter of .Donald and Jean (Herron)
Hurry, and was born and lived in the
Red River valley of Canadd. T'hey
made a visit as a bridal tour to his for­
mer home in Springfield, Ohio. Mr.
and Mi's. Cavileer are the parents of
five children: Sarah, who died in in­
fancy, Edmund K., William M., Albert
D„ and Lulah Bel.

LIBERAL PRIZES OFFERED FOR

TABLES.
Chaii-man I. P. Baker of the Burleigh
County Louisiana Purchase. World'
Fair committee publishes elsewhere a
list of the prizes offered by the com
mittee for the best samples of Burleigh
county grains, grasses and vegetables,
The conditions could certainly be no
better for the collection of a line of
these samples than they are this sea­
son when everything in the line of
farm products has. attained a phenom­
enal growth, and the competition for
these prizes should be a spirited one
and such an exhibit as could be made
of these products this year cannot fail
to be of great benefit il attracting at­
tention to the wonderful and un­
bounded resources of the state.
It is hoped that all will take such an
interest in this matter as will result in
the best exhibit of the state's products
that has ever been made.

COL. PLUMMER'S JOLLY.
The gathering at the recent state
convention afforded the veteran news­
paper man and distinguished orator,
Col. Pluminer, an opportunity to greet
many old time friends. .The colonel
•v
mentions a few slopers in 'his "Talk"
coluxhn jDtf the Forum as follows:
Capt. Charles E. Gregory of Dickin­
son, came in to attend ifhe convention!.
The last time I met the captain was in
New York in the fall of 1898. He had
just ibeen mustered'out of the stervice.
He came back to North Dakota, locaited
at Dicki^on, and has been made
state's attorney- He and his estimable
wife have a chanmlng home in the
thriving city of Dickinson. Captain
Gregory is a good lawyer, and a very
able man. He is an old timer,- and
no doubt there are higher honors in
store for him. The captain is true in
his friendships and generous to-a fault.
Who should come in from Burleigh
county, but my old friend^Sid Smith.
He has a fine farm on Apple Creek,
near tMenoken. Hfe came into the Red
River valley many years ago—took a
homestead north of Wheatland. He
then located a pre-emption and a tree
claim out in Burleigh county, where he
now lives. Sid is prospering, as he
richly deserves. He is one of the old
timers that nobody who ever met hfm
can forget. He is a nephew of the
late Mayor Chapin.
Hon. Lesie Simpson of Stark is just
the same smooth proposition that he
was in days of did.
I woujd mention Jewell, the able
editor of the Bismarck Tribune, but he
would accuse me of attempting "to
pull his leg."
TURNER WINS.
THE PRIMARIES IN GRA ND FORKS
COUNTY RESULT IN VICTORY
FOR TURNER FOR SHERIFF.
Grand Forks, N. D., July 28.—The
sheriff fight in Grand Forks county is
practically over. A. F. Turner winning
out, with delegates to spare, over 0.
G. Hanson and M. A. Walsh, who were
understood to be pulling together. Re­
publican caucuses were held Saturday
evening in the various precincts of the
county, and the returns received show
that at least 1W delegates |p the county
convention to be held in Grand Forks
next Thursday are solid for Turner,
with many of the precincts yet to be
heard from. As there are but 160 del­
egates to the convention, he is already
certain of enough votes to nominate,
should the precincts not heard from
be solid for the opposition.
