Firms for Minnesota.

A tract of co. 900 acres has been Sc
cured in Aitkin county for q Finnish
colony by q company of which the
Rev. John Falkner is the president.
Should the company's plans be rea-
lized, much more land will be needed.
Probably as many as SO, 600 Firms will
immigrate to America this year and
efforts will be made to lead a large
part to Minneso ota, as the Firms are
thrifty, honest and excellent pioneers.
1t is believed that they are particular

and other counties. The officers of
the company are the Rev. John Falk

To Connect Buffalo and Granite Falls.

TO Connect Buffalo and Granite FaItS.
G. G. McEwen and F. W. Ives of
Hutchinson were around here a few
days ago to ascertain the popular
opinion in regard to having railroad
passing through this vicinity in a
northeasterly course. They represent
q number of capitalists of which W.
S. Lewis of St. Paul, we'll known in
financial circles, is the leading spirit.
The object is to build an independent
railroad from Buffalo to Granite
Falls, and they wish to have the peo-
pie call mass meetings in the comuni-
ties where the road would pass through
and ascertain what bonuses could be
raised and then Mr.. Lewis will meet
their representatives in Litchfeld on
any date they wish. The road accord
ing to present plans, would pass
through the south east corner of Kan
diyohi county somewhere near Lake
Lillian, but 1t would be likely to 60 a
few miles either to one side or the
other, where the people could raise
the most money.-Thorpe Correspond.

Doesn't Look Like Remova1.

We have it on good authority that
the plans for the new shops to be
built here are in the hands of the off,
cials of this division of the Great
Northern and that they will surely be
erected during the coming summer.
Wheeled scrapers and other machinery
for doing the grading have already
been received aud the work will start
in the near future. This ought to
settle all the baseless rumors that
have been floating around about the
removal of the division or the divi-
sion of1ices.-Breckenridge Telegram.

Opening Game Of Season.

The Willmar Seminary and High
school baseball teams enjoy the dis
tinction of furnishing the first matched
game OF the present season at Ath-
letic Park. The ball "was started a.
rolling" on Monday afternoon at four
O'Clock and ''kept a-rolling" until
6:3O. Both teams furnished plenty of
amusement for the spectators during
the long entertainment, and as there
was no admission fee charged there
was no "kick coming for q long wait
to see the end of the program. ~ Soft
grounds. caused some disadvantage.
It was apparent to the spectators that
there was lack of practice by the
Seminary team in the lineup it had,
and that it defeated the High school
boys was a surprise that was quite
commendable. The game, though not
a swift one, was not entirely lacking
in brilliant plays and the "rooters -
made themselves conspicuous when
ever favorable opportunity pre-
sented itself. H. E Campbell assayed
the role of the much abused umpire.
The score by innings follows:

Dor Trcubis-Rejsets Demands

Great Northern May Face Another Ia.
Dor Troubis-Rejsets Demands
Of Trsinmen.
The Great Northern line may not
have strike on its hands on Nav l,
but it may find itself in an unpleasant
position.
While the Northern Pacific and
other transcontinental roads have
granted concessions to the trainmen
the Great Northern, through General
Manager F. E Ward, sent q COM
munication to the trainmen announ-
cling two decisions:
First-The company refused to treat
with the committee, it's officers or the
officers of the National Orders of Con-
ductors and Trainmen as an organi-
zstiOn.
Second-The company refused to
grant any of the demands of the COM
mittee relating to increased pay for
men serving on double header trains,
or to abolish doubie-heading, or to
grant any concessions whatever on
this issue.
Unless the road recedes from it's DO
sition negotiations between the train
men and the company will be broken
off at noon today and the railroad
may face another labor trouble.
A. B. Garretson, assistant grand
chief OF the trainmen, who has been in
charge of the negotiations, says un-
less the company recedes from its po--
sition the members of the committee
will return to their homes and the
trainmen will be polled by divisions.
This will require about ten days.
When asked if he could anticipate
the result he said he could, but de-
clined to indicate the result of the vote
beyond saying that the 1900 or more
men involved would not sit idly by
and see themselves deprived of the
benefits which the other great rail-
road systems have granted to their
employees.
The Northern Pacific has increased
the pay of it's trainmen and has abol-
| ished double-headers on all but the
Yellowstone division. This decision
was satisfactory to the men and the
Great Northern employees expected
similar favors. They have not re-
ceived them.-Minneapolis Times,
Tuesday.
Later news is to the effect that tho
Great Northern officials have consent

M0RM0MS ARE ACTIVE
Recognized Church of Jesus Christ
OF Latter Day Saints Prepares tor
Aggressive Campaign.

Perhaps one of the most active
church societies of the present day is
the sect commonly known as Nor
mons, and it may be interesting to
Willmar people to learn that they are
pushing their work along at a rate
even in this county which will result
ultimately in increasing their ranks
to q number that will give them a
good showing in this part of the coun-
try. Missionaries 'have been in the
field In Willmar and vicinity and it is
reported that not few converts are
made to their faith. Last summer the
work was carried on here by two Ed
ers and it is understood that the CAM
paign will be vigorously renewed this
year by a house to house canvass in
the same manner by missionaries from
the headquarters of the state of Min
nesota, which are located in the Twin
Cities.
AT the annual conference held in
Kansas City recently twelve apostles
we're assigned to the different fields
throughout the world and besides
these nearly 400 other ministers were
appointed to places throughout the
United States and many foreign coun-
tries F. II. Smith is the apostle as
signed to the territory comprising
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and
North and South Dakota. The sect
numbers about $4,000 and is SC altered
very widely throughout the world.
The conference affirmed its condem-
nation of polygamy, declaring the
Book OF Mormon forbids the practice.
The conference meets next year at
Kirkland. Ohio.
The above information is given par
t1cularly for the benefit of some who
may not be aware of the strong foot.
hold this sect is gaining. It is said
that converts are made largely among
the Scandinavian population. A vast
amount of literature has been distrib-
uted throughout this state, a goodly
portion OF which was left in this vi
clnity last season by the Elders who
visited this section.

administered to the following:
Emma Lindner, Thora Peterson,
Ruth Mccullough, Jettie Person, Olga
Carlson, Marion Minton. Maurice
Nordstrom, John Rasmussen, Arthur
Rasmusson, Geo. Lundquist, Peter
Rose.
In the Bishops sermon, which WAS
q most mastery one, he took occasion
to review the work accomplished the
past year under Rev. McCullough's
charge, and was loud in his praise of
the church management. More had
been done in the matter Of contribu-
tions and in missionary work than in
previous years, and altogether the
record was one which reflected much
credit upon both church officers and
the able rector, Rev. Mccullough.
The Bishop gave St. Luke's church .
most excellent standing in comparison
with other Episcopal churches in tho
