For some time trouble had been brew
ing among, the shareholders in the Hans
ka and Linden creamery. Rumors had
been circulated of every nature, and it
was claimed that difference existed be-
tween the accounts of the manager and
the treasurer and that the last general
assembly was illegal. There was abso-
lutely no foundation for these. rumors.
but they spread with thespeed of prai-
RE fire. Everybody was interested, and
when man met man. the question alb
sorbed all others. BY and by the rum
ors gained some stability and petition
was circulated and signed by several
shareholders as well as others who were
not owners of stock, demanding the cleo
ton of a full board of directors and a
committee of three besides the president
to act as finance committee. The pc
tltlon was presented to President Jor-
genson, and after a careful examination
that gentleman posted reply at the
store in which he stated that be deemed
the calling of another meeting super.
fluous and urged the employees and
everybody interested in the business tc
work in harmony end avoid quarrels and
scandal. Mr.. Jorgenson's reply was
couched in decent language, but as il
was written in Norwegian, the manager
of the creamery could not understand il
and, thinking that personal insult had
been offered to him, posted another no.
tice to the effect that he would resign on
the LIST of March unless Mr.. Jorgenson
and Mr.. Bake should BE- removed. The
resignation was directed to the sharehol-
ders and not to the directors, so that a
general meeting became necessary. Hard
ly anyone desired the retirement of the
manager, but his demands were looked
upon as father extreme. In fact COM
pliance on the part of the shareholders
would be Identical with an abrsgation Of
the republicanpolicy in Encouragement
Of the creamery and the recognition of
an absolute dictator. New petitions
were circulated calling for meeting,
and all agreed that in that way alone
could matters be Strengthened up. Ac-
cordinglY meeting of the directors was
heldton the 25th to which all sharehol-
ders were invited. At this meeting the
attendance was unusuall y large, and Mr..
Jorgenson presided. And let it be said
right here, that never in this township
was meeting held in which order and
parl entary rules prevailed to such a
degree as in this one. No bitter dis
putes; no personal ities; nothing but bu-
siness! Reasonable arguments and
