Porter, Nebraska Pioneer, Dead at Haigler He Wat Democratic andidate for Governor in 1863 Against David Butler Lived at Plattsmouth. I) EN Kl, EM AN, Neb.. March (Spe cial.) James R. Porter of Haigler, died Sunday morning, March t, of old age. He was S3 years of age last February, was a pioneer of Nebraska and bad been In the mercantile business at Haigler since 1SS2. He leaves a widow and sev eral children. The funeral will be held at Haigler Tuesday afternoon and Inter ment made In the family plot there. Mr. Porter came to Nebraska In April, ISnft. landing at Plattsmouth after crossing the river in a flat boat. He attended the first democratls convention held In the state. It was held In Plattsmouth in 1A39 and was composed for the most part of Buchanan appointees. Mr. Porter was a Douglas democrat The Buchanan men wanted to endorse all of the acts of Buchanan, but Mr. Porter, aided by a few others, strongly opposed tbls and put up a hard fight, and as a compromise the convention only endorsed the Buchanan administration. Even this was more than Mr. Porter favored, but It was the best that could be done. In lstiK Mr. Porter was the democratic candidate for governor against David Butler, and he was defeated by about 2,600 votes. In the early days Plattsmouth was quite an Important place, especially for those engaged, as was Mr, Porter, In the freighting business. Mr. Porter had a freighting outfit and transported supplies from the river to Plattsmouth along the river to Fort Laramie, Denver and Salt Lake. In 1867, at the point where Fort Fetterman was afterwards located, he was made a prisoner by the Indians for twenty-three' days and lost two men an da hundred head of cattle. A little later he lost $00,000 worth of property near the same place, the Indians burn ing his wagons, stock and cattle. At that time he had a contract to furnish a large supply of wood,so he came back to the river and borrowed enough money to get a new outlll ana went pack ana rtiiea his contract. He put In a claim with the government for the property that was de stroyed, but It had never received any attention. About all of the old freighters that Mr. Porter knew, and all of the men who were active with him are now gone. George W. Doane and Judge Wakeley of Omaha .and Dr. George L. Miller, who were prominent In the early days, were friends ot his early life In Nebraska. All of these are living, but they are about the last. Marshal Takes Faa-lllve.

NO COMPETITION WITH OMAHA Pornoee Is to Torn to States States In Northern Tier Iiaailarants Now Got as to Canada Thronah Interior. GREAT FALLS. Mont., March 1 (Spe cial.) With an enthusissm that was manifest In their every session, the mem bers of the Montana Association of Com mercial Club' Secretaries at their meet ing In this city on March t and 4 voted to Issue a call to the secretaries of Min nesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Oregon snd Washington to meet with the delegates of commercial bodies of Montana In April, for the purpose of organizing the Northwestern Development league. This league, It Is proposed by the promoters, shall benefit the states named In advertising the resources and chances for settlers through the eastern states through a general co-operation with a view to changing the channel of Immi gration from that section from Its pres ent channels so that It will come through the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and then west. The secretaries came from all sections of the state, more than twenty-five points j being represented, snd more than as many more sending letters Indorsing the league movement. President of the state association, George E. Matthews of Lewlston. presided at the session.' The proposed leaegue was outlined by Secre tary Oliver M. Holmes of the Great Falls board of commerce, who, with Sam W. Teagarden. has been the chief promoter of the new organization, and by Mr. Hea garden. Will Not Compete With Omaks. The speakers explained that the tend ency has been for the Immigration to drift toward the southwest through Kan sas City and that of recent years, owing to the great activity of the Canadian gov ernment, a great share had been gathered Into the broad domain of the Canadian northwest, bertng taken from Montreal and Quebec and sent over the Canadian lines west. This It Is hoped to circumvent by gettln gat the Immigrants through the agencies and keeping them out of the hands of the Canadian land agents. The statement was made that there had been a wrong Impression gone forth when It was first told the league would try to divert the channel which now passes through Omaha, but It was Bald by mem bers of the secretaries' association that great portion of the settlers of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and southern Montana find easier access to the territory through Omaha than through the northern route and that tha Omsha channel would not be considered as a field for activity with a vlesv to securing new settlers. Th league proposes to give a land show each year at St. Paul and Minneapolis, alternating between these cities, but start ing at St. Paul. The first show. It Is now proposal, shall be given either In October or November. The Northwestern Development league movement has already received the In dorsement of the Commercial clubs of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and while this indorsement was not by formal vote. It comes from the leading influences of the clubs, which Is sure to crystallise Into a jformal vote of Indorsement when the proper tlm.i comes. The secretaries of half a dozen of the largest clubs on theN Paclflo coast, too. have sent their Indorsement hv letter saying they were ready to Join the move ment and that whenever Montana got ready to call the meeting they will name their delegates to attend the initial meet ing. Idaho cities, also, have manifested more than passing Interest in the plan and lead ers from Boise City and Pocatello have made Inquiry and expressed a belief that there la a great work 'to be done by such a league. The Dakotas are ready to respond to the call and the secretaries here declared great faith in the outcome for a success ful organization and fruitful work of the new league. Land show In Twin Cities. From a source said to be official and very close to Governor Edward L. Norrls. there comes the report to the secretaries that he Is ready to lend the influence which an invitation from the state executive might mean to the governors of the other states to come to Montana to attend the meeting and enjoy the hospitality of this state and that such an invitation will be sent forth very soon, probably the last of next week. inese invitations will call upon the governors of these states to come to the meeting which will organize the league or to name some one to repreient the state as the official delegate of the governor. The governor will, It Is said, also Indicate to the governors of the other states that he believes such a meeting of the states will be for the good of all and that he thoroughly Indorses the plan. The State Association of Secretaries will about the same time Isiue to the commer cial bodies their invitation to name their delegates. .
