NORWEGIANS CELEBRATED.


success. Beside the great crowds
that had already arrived there were

The day was opened with a grand
parade, the order Of which was:
Standard bearers.
Fargo police department..
North Dakota State Band.
Governor White in carriage.
Fargo and Moorhead city councils.
lhe bauta sten committee in carri-
ages.

"Sons of Norway.
Fargo High School students.

Patriotism and love of the mem Or
les OF the Fatherland were exhibited
by the visitors and the parade headed
for the college where the unveiling
OF the granite shaft in commemora-
tion of Bjornsterne Bjornson was to
take place.
Under perfect sky and with due
ceremony the exercises were con-
Quoted.
Miss Helga Trovaten, who looked a
perfect picture in her typical costume
OF a young girl in Norway pulled
the ropes and released the Norwegian
trj.cOlOIs, which hid the stone from
view, and they fell to the ground,
and the bauta sten,was in full view
of the thousands of curious eyes.
The vast audience then broke out in
great applause which lasted a minute
or two.
To an accompaniment by the North
Dakota State Band, under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Rudd for this one num-
Der, the great audience sang, with
feeling and patriotic expression the
Norwegian national anthem: "Ja,
VI els a dette Landet.'' Editor
John Blaauw of The Tacoma Tjdende
very ably directed the singers.
An interesting feature of the cele-
bratiOn was the wedding according
to olden ceremony of a young couple
which took place IN the armory. The
bridal couple were dressed in the cos
tune OF the Fatherland and the cere-
mony was performed by Rev. A. O..
Fonkalsrud.
The crowds that had gathe red to
see the ceremoLy were vast, thinking
that it was free to all, bus the only
way that they could be handled was
by charging an admission fee.
The celebration all through was a
most decided success and all honor is
due to Dr.. Fjelde of A Abercromble who
was the originator of the idea and to
whose untiring efforts the present
celebation was bought on.

rary chairman and NJ. II. jewell, Sec

journed until'2 p.m.
On re-assembling the temporary or

tee which recommended seating the
anti Murphy delegation from Ward
county. There has been great deal

conducting the convention according
to legal procedure. IL was shown g
be "a close fight and lie committee de-
cided it on the strength OF the regu-

The commi, tee on water did not
think that they were convcrsant
enough with the mechanism and
probable durability of the different
makes to make an intelligent choice
and that they therefore desired more
time in which to become familiar
with the same.
A question then arose as to
whether they could adjourn without
taking some action on the matter
and disposing of the bids in one way
or another and the city attorney gave
it as his opinion that there could be
no legal reason that would prevent
them from ad0urning providing
that they did not receive or accept
any further bids.
The matter was then laid over and
placed in the hands of the water
committee to be brought up for final
action at the next meeting.
Alderman McElroy then moved
that the printing committee, togeth
er with the city attorne,, and audi
tor arrange for the necessary print
ing in connection with the issuance
of warrants for the water works i'm
provements and suggested that if
it were possible :hat the warrants
for that purpose and those for the
sewerage improvement be drawn up
in as near like form az the different
purpose. for which they we're to be
issued would permit. He also sug-
gested that expert help be employed
for the purpose of arranging special
set of books for the use of the water
works commission or authorities.
His motion was carried.
President Kurtz then addressed the
council in behalf of the local COM
mandery G. A. r. He said that
there was at one time in this city
a. large and prosperous post

the city and other reasons that they
had become small organization un-
able to rent hall for meeting pur-
poses, that they had from time to time

last meeting decided to ask the per-
mission Of the mayor and city council
to meet in the council hall.
Having seen the mayor the latter
had said that he was willing that
they use the council room as request
ed the third Tuesday in each month

Gil signify their pleasurs in the mat

There was considerable talk regard

He was arm,d with "Jager" rife,
an arm in common use with the hunt

there hung to his belt a French army
pistol, a cap and ball affair, fully
two feet long. RIFLES saw an olk

CORRESPONDENTS
Leland Siftings.

Mrs. Ethel Hawkins was the guest
of Mrs. Lucy Chaplin last week.
We have been having a little cloud
juice for the benefit of the miners.
Glendale with her population
wishes to incorporate. We, with oul
marshal, Henry Ball, don't need tc
incorporate as our town is very or
derly Our merchants do large
business.
The Columbia mine is doing big
work. They have washed off large
amount of ground already. Frank
Floss is manager. Frank understands
his business when it comes to run
ming mine.
We hear OF a rich strike on Coyote
creek. The ledge is large one ana
goes many thousands to the ton. That
creek has furnished very rich placer
mines, consequently quartz lodges must
be in the vicinity that has furnished
the placer gold.
In speaking of Oregon, especially
at a distance, people get this part
of Oregon mixed up with the web-foot
country That is a sad mistake. Leland
or southern Oregon is far di ifferent from
the Willamette or webfoot country.
At present wild flowers are growing
in profusion and we have a nice
bouquet at writing, the sun is shining,
aud the meadow larks are singing.
Sometimes we boom a little but
Glendale sees us and goes us one
better by writing of mountains of
quartz, carrying big values of gold
Some editors want to draw immigra-
tion and have to magnify to get
parties to look over their country.
Our quartz is Of such formation that a
miner can see al a glance that they
are permanent and carry free gold
with sulphates that have the lasting
qualities.
We understand that Mrs. Fanny
Rutherford shot a big panther last
week about four miles down the creek
from Leland. Her dogs chased it up
tree, She took her gun and went to
see what the dogs had treed and ound
big panther sitting on large limb.
She shot it twice before it fell.
Our native Oregon girls have got
the grit A portion of them can shoot
a gun, help clear land and make
themselves useful.

Guv Letter. the delivery boy for the
New Meat Market, is suffering from
an exciting accident which occurred
on Monday and which might easily
have resulted fatally. With his horse
and delivery cart lie was jogging up
sixth street and just in front OF the
express office in the Opera house
block. he was run into by runaway
team and wagon. The runaways
came up from behind and struck the
cart with a terrific impact, turning 1t
over several times and showing CART
horse and all for some distace up the
street. The boy was throw out was
stepped upon by the horse and run
over by the cart, and when the mix-up
was past lay senseless in the gravel
of the street. He was picked up and
cared for. No bones were broken and
he was found to be only severely
bruised. He is now nearly recovered
and will resume his work.
After the team had passed, the cart
riehted and the horse started on up
the street after the runaway. He
turned east on E street and went
around the block, coming back into
Sixth street at fhe Sugar Pine store.
He turned down Sixth street, took a
drink at the water trough and, start
ing to cross the tracks, was very
nearly run over by freight car stop

WATER Is PLENTIFUL NOW
Late Storm Is an Excellent One
for the Placers.

The recent storm, while it has
features that are not altogether pleas
ant to pedestrians and those who are
obliged to be in the open air, is one
of the best for the placer mining
enterprise that has occurred for long
time. 1t has been showing intermit-
tently for several days and while in
the lower valleys it has been melting
as it fell, in the mountains it has
been pilIng up probably to depth of
several feet, making a reserve water
supply on which the creeks and
gulches may draw for many weeks to
come. All the smaller streams and
gulche- are now running full OF
water from the melting snow and tho
result is an awakening Of activity in
the placer mines, many Of which had
recently been compelled partially to
suspend operations as all but the
beet water rights were running some
what short. II the present storm is
followed up by another equally as
good little later in the season, it will
be sufficient to make this first class
placer year and the present somewhat
uncomfortable wetness is helping to
swell the clean up of next spring.
Besides the many large mines Of
this county there are numberless
"gulch digRings" and little sluice
box ventures whose aggregate is as
tonishingly large and helps in no
small measure to swell the gold out
put Of Southern Oregon. Some of
these "diggings" can be worked only
when the water Is sluicing down every
ravine on tie mountain side and
times like the present are the harvest
times for workings like these.
