Prof. Hilleboe delivered the princi-
pal address at the 18th of May celebra-
tionat Irving. He 6rstreminded the peo-
pie of the national history and charac-
teristics. He pointed out what the
race had done and what we as citizens
owe to this our new home. The race
has been jealousy observing the rules
of honesty and always liberty loving
people. Our liberty cost centuries of
hard trials and sacrifices. This coun-
try demands of all it's citizens relig-
ious devotion to the principles upon
which it's foundation code is built. It
demands that we surrender some of
the modern rules and indulgences
which are only relic of the times of
ancient barbarity. For 100 years we
were regarded as nation to whom
weaker oppressed people could resort
for protection, but to-day we are just
ly accused of scohing at the rights of
a weaker people, openly violating the
spirit that lead to Norway's and U.
SIS. independence. We indulge more
in habits that lead our people down.
ward. AS a Scandinavian race we
came here poor and have had fortune
which has to great extent led to our
devotion to wealth and neglecting the
intellectual and moral welfare of our
country. AS said, our national traits
were honesty, hospitality and valua-
ton of true worth in a person; but we
are slowly undergoing change. To
be able to escape justice is often con-
sidered as ingenuity. Mr.. Hilleboe's
speech was not along the "spread
eagle" line, but an exhortation to
wake up to the needs of our day, and
sacrifice personal pleasure to national
and moral advancement. 1t is decid-
eddy impossible for Mr.. Hilleboe to
seek favor by drawing the wool over
the peoples eyes regarding the rising
dangers. Mr.. Hastager also delivered
a short but powerful plea for advance
ment of temperance and chas5e living.

Seattle, Wash, March 15-Captain
f. H. Smith, a well known English
man, who arrived here yesterday On
the Tosca Maru, from Japan, declares
that war between that country and
Russia is soon to come.
"Trouble over the Russian occupa-
ton of Nanchuria is the cause of the
trouble," said Captain Smith, =" and
the Japanese are spelling for a chance
TO whip some one. They are making
all preparations for the scrap that
must come verv soon. When it does
come, England will be forced to help
the Mikaio's army, and the war may
involve all Europe. In the meantime,
the Russians are pushing work on the
railroad across Manchuria, and to this
the Japanese have no objections. Rus
STA, however, must defend the road
against the attack of the natives.
Some 10000 coolies are now employed
in the work"

THE MOST IMPORTANT BEING
PosToFFIcE APPROPRIATION.
SENATE IS STILL TALKING
Allison of Iowa and Spooner of Wis
consin Show Signs of Mis-
ouri Origin.

Washington, March 14.-Through-
out he session Of the senate today
the ship subsidy bill was under con-
sideration. The measure was discussed
by Foraker Of Ohio, McLaurin Of Mis-
sissippi and Harris of Kansas.
Foraker supported the bill, although
he admitted that he would have pre-
ferred to build up an American mer-
chant marine by the levying of dis
eliminating duties. He was willing,
however, to defer to the judgment Of
the majority, that the pending meas
ure embodied a better plan.
Both McLaurin and Harris opposed
h measure on the ground that in
their Judgment it was not constitu-
tfonal, they maintained that 1t was
class legislation which amounted to
little short Of robbery of the people
for the benefit Of a few ship owners
Harris made the point that the
United States now was paying more
to American lines for the carrying
Of ocean mails than was paid to for
eign ships for a greater service.
Washington, March 15.-Differences
Of opinion on the republican side ap-
peared in the senate debate on the
ship subsidy bill today.
Allison of Iowa, indicated that he
was nGt quite satisfied with the meas
ure, as it stands now and gave notice
of amendments he proposed to offer
to i, limi ing the time of it's opera
ton and limiting also the amount of
money annually to be paid from the
treasury on account Of it.
He was followed by SpOoner of Wis
c%onsin, who took exception to some
of the provisions of the measure. He
was not at all certain that the bill
would accomplish the great results
which its advocates claim for it, and
he urged that before it's enactment
into law. definite information upon
that point ought to be furnished to
congress. He did not care to vote for
a measure making an appropriation
that not only would not accomplish
definite results, but which might be
simply a gift to ship owners. He
gave notice of an amendment which
he proposed to offer providing that
the bill if it became a law might be
amended or repeale~ by congress with
out impairing anv contact made IN
der its provisions. This amendment
would be notice, he said, that the
subsidy would not he q safe founda-
ton upon which to build largely.
Earlier in the dav Teller Of Colo
RADIO made a speech in opposition to
the measure and was followed bv
Elkin, of West Virginia, with. 3 brief
address in support Of it although the
West Virginia senator admitted that
he would much prefer the adoption Of
a policy Of discriminating duties.

Start.

When they decided TO go to Salt
Lake in a body next August, the &C.
casion of the annual reunion of the
order from all over the country, the
Elks of Montana made arrangements
for a working fund, to meet the ex-
penses incident to a trip of that sort.
The executive committee appointed
by the different lodges considered that
a per capita tax Of 81 would about be
sufficient, while the amount, individ-
ually, would not be so heavy as to
prove b~urdensome. All the lodges &C.
copied the assessment and a treasur-
err has been appointed to receive the
money.
The first lodge in the state to pay
it's assessment is Helena, No. 1913,
which last Thursday paid to Mr.. Hays,
the treasurer of the committee, the
sum of 5000, that representing the
total membership of the lodge. Should
more members be taken in before the
fund is closed the additional amount
will be RENTED.
