HARRIET SCHOOLS PIANO
Interesting Exercises Held at Pres
entation Last Evening. . =.

There was music in the air at the Lake
Harriet school building last evening when
the new school piano was formally pre-
scented to the board Of education. In spite
Of bad weather the entire lower floor of
the building was filled when G. w. Van
Tuyl opened the formal exercises with
brief address and conducted the exercises
in which many of the pupils of the school
participated. James Gray made the adj
dress formally conveying to the, school
board title to the piano. Superintend-
ent c. M. Jordan, in the absence of
President T. F. Quinby, accepted the gift
Director w. K. Hicks added pleasant
word Of appreciation on behalf Of the
board. DR.. Jordan complimented highly
the people of the Lake Harriet district
for the interest they showed in their
school! Some earnest words from Judge
LELAND on the Importance of the public
school system completed the formal pro-
gram. In one of the rooms an excellent
exhibition of the work Of the children Of
the Harriet building had been tastefully
arranged. The reception committee con-
sisted Of the husbands Of the ladies who
had charge Of securing the funds and ar

A line TO M0OSEJAW
A Belief That the Washburn Road
Is Headed for That
Point.
The Line Would Parallel the 500,
but Too Far West to Re-
duce Business. /.

| Another line from Minneapolis to Moose
jaw Assiniboia, is regarded as the logical
result of prospective extensions of the
Bismarck, Great Falls & Washburn rail
road. This road, constructed by General
| w. D. Washburn of Minneapolis, now runs
from Bismarck to Washburn, N. D., about
forty miles. It was in operation for two
years before the 500 road entered Bis
marck, but with the advent of the latter
system at that point the WashburR road
Immediately assumed largely increased
Importance through its intimate relations
with the 500 interests. ,.. E,....
AS the name of the road indicates, it
was undoubtedly the plan of its protector
to extend it westward along the Missouri
valley to Great Falls. Mont. However that
may be, 1t is now suspected that the more
immediate extension will be to Moosejaw
1t is about zoo miles from Washburn, the
present terminus, to BufOrd N. D., which
is on the Missouri river close to the Mon
tana line. This much Of the new con-
struction would be available for the ulti-
mate line to Great Falls as we'll as for the
Moosejaw line. From Buford to Moose
jaw the distance is about 40 miles. ~.ts}
The 500 already has a direct line to
Moosejaw, crossing the boundary line at
Portal In case the 'Washburn line is ex-
tended, it will practically parallel the 500
line about 100 miles west. While it would
not be regarded as probable that General
WaShburn would take any steps to cut into
the business of the 500, the new line
would be far enough west of the present
main line to develop an independent car
rying business. The new route from Min
neapolis would be over the present 500
main line to Hankinson, N. D.; thence
northwesterly to Bismarck; thence along
the Missouri to Buford, and thence more
noctherly to Moosejaw.
The territory, traversed by: such a line
Is new but sufficiently tested to promise
good traffic when developed. Through
northwestern North Dakota, it is claimed
that the rainfall in the Missouri valley
is heavier and more dependable than in
the western part of the Red River. valley
country Farmers have already produced
big crops Of wheat along the Knife river,
west of Washburn, and the grain hauled
to Washburn for shipment.
The lands in northern Montana and
southern Assiniboia, lying between the
Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern,
that would pay tribute to the extension,
are exceedingly fertile, producing as high
as twenty-seven bushels Of wheat to the
acre, with fair average Of twenty BUSH
els Grain is mot the only product, as
also large herds of cattle feed on the
ranges of lower Assiniboia and as far
south as the Great Northern line. -.
With the extension of the Washburn
road to Moosejaw the situation of the; 500
will be similar to that of the Great North
ern in northern Minnesota and in North
Dakota, where owing to the heaviness
Of the traffic from the rich tributary ter
ritory' the road has parallel branches at
average intervals of less than fifty rniess

A GENEROUS PLAN

It Will Be at Swedish Tabernacle

Be Popular"

The Philharmonic club will give its
Christmas presentation Of the Messiah"
| in the Swedish Tabernacle, In order that
the greatest possible number may have
an opportunity to hear it. The change
from the plan to give the oratorio in Plym-

by Rev. G. L. Morrill, to TIL 9 Jour
n al and a, suggestion to the effect that
the Christmas enterta inment of the Phil

so afford much larger number the OPP
portunity of hearing this great work, and
at minimum cost. lead me to say that
the suggestion being SO exactly in accord
with its aims, the club was strongly i'm
pressed thereby. and the board CT direct
ors gave 1t the most careful consideration.
AS the result Of our Investigations we very
reluctantly came to the conclusion that the
Exposition building was not at all adapted
to an artistic rendition of Handers great
masterpiece. The acoustics Of the hall are
Such That the solo artists could not do
themselves justice, while the effect of the
choral and orchestral work would be very
much dwarfed. An unsatisfa Glory per-
Torrance would be the inevitable result,
and this the club could not afford to risk

will be presented at the Tabernacle in

is 1900, and the directors at meeting

no doubt the fine auditorium will be filled
