The pleasant home of Hon. j. ID. and
Mrs. Morse on Bridge street was taken
possession of last Saturday by their
relatives in commemoration of the

she doesn't look it. But however,
that does not matter, some who were
present, called her auntie and one or

very enjoyable day was spent indeed,

Lockes and others get together.
There were many good things to
eat and the guests presented Mrs.
Morse with a set of fine silver spoons.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE

Former Mirnenpolitan Writes of
Government Control in Alaska.
Lars Gunderson, formerly Of Mime
apolis, now Of Vongarak, Alaska, has
written a letter to a friend in this city,
in which he enters a strong protest
against government red tape, the rigid
collection of taxes and the overlooking
of other regulations which should come
under governmental control in the new
country Taxation without representa-
tion,' against which the original colonies
complained. he says, is nothing compared
to the condition that now obtains in
Alaska. The fact that there is not post
Office or postal route in that part of In
Gle Sans domain induced him to write to
the postoftlce department. at Washington.
He received reply 140 days later in the
shape Of blanks, asking how far it was
from the proposed postoflce to the near
est railroad station. Disguised with this
roundabout way Of getting at the subject,
Gunderson wrote to Senator Knute Nelson
Of Minnesota, who promised to do what he
could for the benefit of Americans in
Alaska. Gunderson says the government
is there with soldiers and tax collectors,
for whom there is absolutely no use at
present. ..'.r

A GREATER LYNHURST PLANNED
The Property Wtll Be Replatted and
Improved Subject to Building
Restrictions.

over 100 acres Of property and thus comes
into control Of some $50 lots. For over
year the company has been at work get
ting control Of the land In the neighbor-
hood of what is known as the East Shore
OF Lake Harriet It now has practically
all the lake frontage from Forty second
street to Minnehaha avenue near Fiftieth
and extending back from the shore to Du-
pont avenue S, or Kings boulevard.
This is the most important transaction
Of the year as affecting the future Of
large residence district. The new section
all future building will be directly under
the control of the David c. Bell Invest

of the structures and high standard.
The plat of the fourth division Of Rem
ington Park, which is at present very I'M
desirable in every way. owing to the con-
formation of the blocks and streets as
laid out, is to be vacated and the property
replatted in modern shape, streets re-
opened, sewers and water mains put in.
Then these lots are to be sold, but only
under building restrictions requiring that
no house shall be erected within thirty
feet of the lot front and to cost at least
S3, 900. Surveyors are now at work on de-
tails Of the plat. 1t is hoped that at an
early date an improved car service will
be secured on the Bryant avenue line.

be applied to the entirely tract, Is already
there are ten or twelve fine residences on
Fremont avenue between Forty sixth and
Forty eighth in what it has been the Gus

The same firm has also secured control
Of many of the lots in Remington Third

further south, between Dupont and Lyn-

be kept at a uniformly high grade, al

TRIBUTE OF CHILDREN
FLOWERS FOR DEAD HEROES
Potted Plants In Great Numbers
Given by Pupils of Public
Schools.

Yesterday the soldiers graves of Mime
apolis cemeteries were locked with moro
flowers than usual. This was due to the
plan adopted by the general Memorial Day
committee and carried out by the sub
committee on flowers. namely, Of having
the school children furnish the floral
tributes in the form Of potted plants.
The committee had the active co-opera-
ton of Superintendent c. NJ. Jordan and
his corps of principals and teachers, who
joined with the committee in belief that
the school children could be thus taught
a great lesson in patriotism.
Over two, months ago when the
schools learned that the Grand Army and
allied orders desired them to furnish the
flowers. the pupils commenced growing
them for Memorial Day Very few were
bought. The children brought their
flowers to school Wednesday and when
the flower committee commenced the i'm
mense task of collecting them from the
hfty-fve Of the fifty-nine graded schools
in the case of many schools the num-
Der delivered was considerably in ex-
cess of the number pledged. At every
cemetery in the city and the few ceme-
teries in the county adjoining Minneapo-
lis, every soldiers grave had several
blooming plants, furnished by the chill
dren, and at Lakewood cemetery the
floral display was remarkable.
Among the schools giving large numbers
of plants were the Holmes, 1913; Bremer,
223; Clinton, 100 Adams, 22O; Douglas,
141; Calhoun, 25O; Lyndale and Emerson,
about 200 each.
Captain Colfax Grant and two ladies
from each circle, aid and corps consti-
tuted the flower committee Of the general
Memorial Day committee.
The assistance Of the school children
allowed the flower commit ea more time
in which to make the evergreen wreaths
which were furnished and made by the
ladies of the committee for soldiers
graves, as we'll as the beautiful floral
tributes dedicated to the memory of de-
parted soldiers at the Exposition building
exercises and at the G.. A. R. lots in the
different cemeteries.
