in the city introducing California
Kern river asphaltum for street paw

of the city council. He states that
all over the country asphalt is rapidly
being recognized as the best for street
paving purposes and expressed sur
prise that Rock Island had not at
least given il a trial.
The unsatisfactory results from
most of the asphalt paving of this
country arises from the fact that the
material used has been of an inferior

Lund. Sweden-Bold and in many
respects significant is this undertake
ing of the Students Singing society of
Lund in its proposed visit to America.
At London and Paris we sang and tri-
umphed. but St. Louis is far different.
The distance, financial risk and the
class of people TO be pleased are to be
taken into consideration.
Some time in the spring of 1908, for
the first time. an American tour by
the Lundensians was contemplated. \
banquet was given by members of the
executive committee of the singing
society for the opera singer. Forsell.
who had just assisted at q student
concert, and while discussing singing
and concert tours. the president of the
society, Prof. ClaeS LinndskOg. pro-
posed possibly more in jest than in
earnest concert tour to the world $
exposition in ST. Louis. The proposal,
however. met with ready approval by
those present, and when the question
was submitted to the society last Sep
TENDER il was also favorably received.
At 4 meeting Sept. IS a committee
was appointed TO investigate, and, if
the plan proved feasible. TO act as ex-
ccutive committee.
Already before this a communica-
ton had been received from the Stu
dents Singing society in Christiania.
Norway, proposing a common Swed-
ish-Norwegian concert tour to Amer
lea. That this plan should prove pop
ular in Lund was self-evident. and it
must be admitted that. had this plan
been realized. the tour would have
had another and a deeper signifi-
canoe The answer from Lund was
that the overture was heartily sup
ported. provided economical consider
atoms permitted its realization. The
Christiania students seem, however.

further communications were ever re-
ceived.
In Lund the preparations were Wig
orously carried on. In order TO

not transact any business at all, thus

has been instructed to demand from
the Clerks union an explanation why
the stores in Moline and Davenport
were allowed to keep open Memorial
day morning. Through an agree
ment made one year ago the
merchants promised to keep their
stores closed on all holidays, and the
clerks, with whom the arrangement
was made, are under the impression
that the agreement still holds good.
