When the program was finished,
Mr.. Amund johnson made a short
speech in which he thanked Miss
|Dagoberg, on behalf Of the school
hoard, Tor the skill and energy with
which she had conducted the school,
and expressed at the same time that
it was the wish of the board to Sc
cure her services for another term.
The district has had varying luck in
hiring teachers, but Miss Dagoberg
has shown herself to be we'll fitted
for her work, and this the district
knows to appreciate.
Prairie fires have ragged in this
vicinity every day during the past
week, and much timber has been
destroyed as everything is so dry
that lire cannot lie put out with
out difficulty. Last Friday the
neighborhood Of Foldahl post office
was surprised by prairie fire, and
Postmaster Amun6son suffered the
loss of.his stables, and it was Just
nip and tuck that the dwelling house
was saved. A pig and some chickens
were lost in the fire. The postmas-
ter's neighbor, Anton Svean, lost his
stable, and it is also said a calf and
a few chickens, by the same fire.
Notwithstanding the stringent law
in regard to setting prairie fires, it
seems to be slow work to teach peo.
pie to exercise necessary care. Your
correspondent was also the other
day surrounded by the fire and for a
while it looked ominous, but escaped
with the mere fright and nine hours
hard work. Corr.

+. April 70, 19OO. I
A school entertainment was recent
ly held here which was more largely
attended by grown people than is
generally the case on such occasions.
The day was extraordinarily beauti-
full, the air being as mild and pure as
if it had been one of the finest days
in the middle of June. At noon, peo-
pie began to gather at the school
house on section 20, and soon there
was a big crowd, in festive garments,
assembled to listen to the closing
exercises of a six months term Of
school, kept by Miss Esther Dago-
berg. The school-house was decor
ated inside in a tasteful manner. and
high above it on a long flag pole
waved the star spangled banner.
Lunch was served by the ladies, after
which was rendered the program
which was in many respects the best
/ have ever heard. 1t was well
thought out and showed much prac-
,tice, all the children performing their
different parts in a very praise
worthy manner, which would be we'll
worthy of mention in detail, but
would be too lengthy for your col
umns, therefore / shall only give the
names of a few of the most meritori-
GUS, namely Amelia Hogberg, Axel
Stromberg, Reinhold Bergstrom,
Herman Johnson, Freda Bergstrom,
Bernhard Gillund, Tena johnson,
Oscar Ostrand, Peter Amundson,
