Artifacts Mark the TimeMy dad enjoyed auction

sales. Maybe he had become addicted to the auctioneer’s chant calling buyers to bid on various artifacts. When-ever Dad offered the highest bid, he would load the prizes into his battered old Ford pickup and head home. The booty usually included old furniture, rusty tools, books, or boxes of miscellaneous items thrown together and sold as one lot.

Today I’m looking at an item found in one of those boxes, something which has escaped the trash bucket, a tattered Stallion Service Ac-count Book kept by a man named Richard Krueger of Sheldon. We cannot tell how many stallions Mr. Krueger had standing at stud, but he filled the book with entries for the year’s business in 1927.

An example entry shows C. R. Simon from Elliott who brought his six-year-old black mare named Dolly for breeding. The fee Krueger charged him for the services of his stallion was $12.50, a price he charged each re-corded customer. Throughout the pages we find mares like a grey 10-year-old mare named Baldy, the brown eight-year-old Bess, the white 10-year-old Trixie, and more. Horses bred for farm work were still important because rubber tired tractors weren’t prevalent. A few years later in 1935 still only 14 percent of farm tractors rolled on pneumatic tires.

Nineteen twenty-seven was a momentous year for change. A Model T Ford cost $360 and ended production after manufacturing about 15 million of them starting in 1908. Only 400,000 units were built in 1927 because the Model A which sold for $385 took its place in October. I found another occurrence to be of interest in the auto industry - the first Volvo car rolled off the production line in Gothenburg, Sweden.

We can name more impor-tant events of the year Work began on Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota and ended 14 years later, 1941. Gutzon Bor-glum, the sculptor, decided whom the carvings would represent based on which presidents he thought rep-resented the most important events in history. The first transatlantic telephone call was made from New York City to London, and Charles Lindbergh flew his airplane named The Spirit of St. Louis from New York City to Paris in the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

The New York Yankees fielded a great team in 1927, so great that they pulled off the first sweep of a National

League team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, in the World Series. The Yankee players earned the nickname “Murderer’s Row” which included Babe Ruth who hit his 60 homers in this year.

Movie-goers could attend the first movie with sound. The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson featured six songs and 350 spoken words.

Returning to our horse theme, World War I ended a decade earlier where huge numbers of horses had been decimated. During the horse-buying years of the war, a 1915 headline in a Virginia newspaper certainly must have horrified horse-lovers. It blared “Horses for Cannon Food and Bullet Meat.” A North Dakota rancher with the well-known name Usher L. Burdick raised champion-ship horses. Maybe he had a premonition of the coming war because he urged ranch-ers to raise horses for profit

and told them to start with the very best sires they could find locally; it did not matter much which breed they chose. At a Grand Forks stock show in 1909 his horse named “Gazo-lite” placed as the champion in the three-year-old class.

Whether or not Richard Krueger raised championship studs is not known, but they were in demand. He filled the pages of his journal with 50 customers whom he charged $12.50 for each of the mares brought to his stallion. To quote Dee Brown, “Some-times there isn’t enough mate-rial. There’s a story there and you can’t fill it in with facts, so you let your imagination run wild.” That’s what we will have to do regarding this business enterprise be-cause no other information is available. With Krueger’s book filled and the last entry being July 13, he may have started a new book, but we don’t possess it.

From the HeartlandBy Allan Burke

Any debate over whether fall is upon us should be settled this week with day-time highs between 37 and 46 degrees. Nighttime lows will hover between 26 and 34 degrees. Showers are mentioned for today through Monday. It’s time to bank the coal in the basement and keep the woollies handy.

Old versus newHaving played in the ink

last week with Dr. Suzzanne Kelley’s Intro to Publishing students from North Dakota State University last week at The Hunter Times at Bonan-zaville in West Fargo, I am reminded of the advantages and disadvantages of let-terpress printing versus the digital world.

When a student suggested that things were much easier today, I was triggered to give my lecture about the old ver-sus the new.

The limitations of the let-terpress era are obvious, but so are the advantages. Some of the advantages are that the equipment lasted for decades, two or three generations (or more) of a family used the same press to print the newspaper, the same press for “job” printing (letterheads, posters, business cards, etc.) and the same machine to set type. All of the equipment could be maintained and repaired by the people who used it. Parts could be ordered one day and received the next day in the mail. Rarely was outside help summoned to fix something.

Today, computers are out-dated, if not obsolete, after about three years, there are constant software updates, people who operate the

computers, scanners and laser printers can neither maintain nor repair them and the internet is crucial to the operation of a newspaper or printing plant. We have no control over the internet and the electronics involved in accessing it.

Sunday afternoon and eve-ning, tech consultant Travis Stramer worked on issues with our computer network and internet security system, with help from BEK Com-munications staff (over the phone). Some progress was made, but the conclusion was that a piece of equip-ment involved in the process might need to be updated. More work was done Monday morning and more will be done later this week.

It’s sort of like Humpty Dumpty when you have a computer network prob-lem—all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again. That’s because in Humpty’s time in the 1870s there were no tech consultants or tele-phone cooperatives.

A fun timeWhile working at The

Hunter Times, I stayed with Dr. Tom Isern and his wife, Dr. Suzzanne Kelley. Their home in the country is no more than five minutes from The Times, and Suzzanne was in charge of printing the poetry chapbook cover on an 1897 printing press.

In addition to enjoying the company of my hosts, I got to hang out with their chocolate Lab, Angie, and their beagle, Willa.

Tom and Suzzanne took me to the Sons of Norway Kringen Lodge No. 25 in

Fargo for lunch on Thursday. Being Irish, I received special dispensation because of the ancestry of my hosts. The lodge’s food is excellent, and I was unable to resist a large piece of their homemade blueberry pie. They are noted for their chocolate pecan pie, but it was farther down the 12-foot-long table of pies.

At our table at the lodge were three retired NDSU people, so it was nice to meet them.

For lunch Friday, Suzzanne and Tom served soup in the NDSU Press office in Minard Hall on campus. I got to meet several more professors and staff as well as to visit with Zachary Vietz, our 2017 in-tern who is now the publicist for NDSU Press. Zach also edits videos for us and is helping with our World War II special section.

Both at The Times and at the soup luncheon I got to visit with the poet, Bonnie Larson Staiger of Bismarck. We had lots to talk about since her father and grandfather were in the printing business, and she grew up around ink and iron presses.

Dr. Kelley and her students will be printing the inside pages and binding the chap-book at The Braddock News Letterpress Museum the first weekend of November.

I can’t wait to play in the ink again.

Happy huntingFall hunting seasons are

getting underway, and hunt-ers from all over the country will be arriving soon. I’m not sure about the statistics for all of the game, but pheasant numbers appear to be pretty good. Thousands of acres of row crops will have been harvested by the time the seasons open, so hunters will have good access to the game.

We hope some of the hunt-ers will decide to move to the heartland and, better yet, move their businesses and some jobs here. The welcome mat is out!
