Spicer to INCORPORATE.

A petition, asking that a day be
appointed when the electors may vote
for or against the incorporation Of
Spicer as village, has been present
ed to the county commissioners and
favorably acted upon by them. Tues
day, June 7th, is the date set for the
election, and without doubt the ma
iority of votes cast will be for incor-
poration.
That Spicer ought to be Incorporate
ed has been the general sentiment for
some time, and several petitions TAX
ing in various territory have been
drawn up, but there has been great
difference of opinion as to what terri
tory should or should not be within
the village limits.
One petition, which was generally
received quite favorably, took in from
Green Lake Beach to Crescent Beach
inclusive, but there was opposition
from both these places, and at mass
meeting held for the purpose of dis
cussing the question, it was decided to
take in the territory from John Ahl.
strom q farm to Rocky Point, and ex-
tendir about one half mile back from
the lake. A committee consisting OF
William Olson, George Holt and John
Taft Jr., was appointed to attend to
all matters pertaining to the petition
for Incorporating and the work thus
far accomplished IS due to the Efforts
of this c0mmittee.-Green Lake Breeze.

To Celebrate 18th of Nav.

Every returning spring with its
many objections Of the Land Of
the Midnight Sun" brings q desire to
every Norwegian to celebrate, to some
extent at least, the day which has
been recorded in history as marking
the beginning of new era for the
Norwegian people. In order, then, to
afford this desire an opportunity of
satisfying itself, the Ladies' Society
Of Vikor congregation is making ar.
rangements for celebration to take
place at K. Axness' place near Solo,
mon Lake. Rev. Mus, of Grove City
and Rev. Solum have been procured
as speakers. Both of these gentle.
men are too well-known to need any
introduction and we feel sure that
many people will avail themselves OF
an opportunity of hearing them. That
the Sinner man" will find something
with which to satisfy his desires need
not be doubted, as an abundance OF
substantial food will be prepared.

Officers Reelected.

The annual meeting of the Civic
Federation took place last Friday
evening at the Bonde Hall. Reports
covering the work done during the
past year we're read and approved.
Officers for the coming year were
selected UNANIMOUSLY. Rev. Albin N.
Osterholm was reelected president,
Victor E. Lawson as secretary and
Gudmund P. Karwand as treasurer.
E. E. Crawford was elected vice presi-
dent. The amount of work accom-
plished since the organization of the
federation was q surprise to many.
The same illustrates very effectively
what little unity along certain
desirable lines can accomplish. Some
changes in the rules of the federation
have been suggested by the experience
OF the past year, and 3 slight change
of the constitution will come up for
adoption or rejection at the next
monthly meeting, June 3rd.

Atwater's New Hotel.

The Atwater, Hotel Company has
been organized and articles of incor-
poration have been fled. The capital
stock of the corporation is $4,000.
There are twenty. seven incorporators
in the association and it includes
practically all the business men OF
that enterprising village. The first
board of directors is composed of the
following members: Gustavus A.
Glader, Henry Stene, Charles F.
Glader, Martin Olson and James H.
Strong. The officers are Gustavus A.
Glader, president; James n. Strong,
vice president; Martin Olson, Sec
retary; and Henry stene, treasurer.
The first Tuesday in June, 1904, is
named as the date for the first annual
meeting.
Olson & Skoolheim of this city are
among the architects who have SUBJ
mitted plans for the new hotel, which
it is expected will cost in the neigh
borhood of $l5, 200. It will be q
modern brick structure, three stories
high, and will cover ground space OF
54x1O0 feet. The site~is the same as
that occupied by the old Wheeler
House which was de: troyed by FIRE.
The price paid for the piece OF ground
was g., 600.
Atwater citizens are to be congratu.
lated upon the success of their venture.
A first class hotel is needed there and
is sure to be we'll patronized.

Gone to Her Rest.

Mrs. Anna Peterson, the aged mo-
ther of Mrs. Carrie Nyreen of this
city, passed to her eternal rest last
Thursday night at her >daughter's
home on South Fifth street. Deceased
had reached the ripe old age of Il
years and death was due to the dis
solution of the vital forces conse-
quent upon old age. The end came
eacefully.
Deceased, in spite of her years, had
been very active up to q short time
ago. Her confinement to the house
was only for a period of about three
weeks. During her Is years. residence
in Wtllmar she had always been pos
sessed of desire to vigorously Dur.
sue the various duties about the home
and was hard working woman. For
the past FIVE years she had made her
home with the daughter where she
spent her last days. Previous to that
period the deceased made her home
with her son-in-law, Andrew Peterson,
whose wife passed away some ten
years ago.
The following daughters survive the
deceased: Mrs. Peter Lofgren. oil
Lake Lillian; Mrs. Frank Thompson,
of Cass Lake; and Mrs. Carrie N.Y.
reen, of Willmar. All we're present
when the final summons came.
The funeral occurred on Saturd ay
afternoon at 2 CLOCK, from the late
home ON Fifth street. Rev. A. G..
Hall of the Swedish Baptist church
officiated. The last sad rites were
performed at Fairview cemetery,
where the remains were inferred in the
family burial lot bes de those OF the
daughter who had gone before.

Kandiyohi Will Incorporate.

By a vote of 26 to 2 the citizens of
Kandiyohi decided on Tuesday of last
week to incorporate. The proper steps

for this has been set for Saturd ay,

A great deal has been said in regard
to whether or not the village will grant
saloon licenses when the proper time
comes for handling that question.
That the question will come up for q
vote at this time is hardly probable,
as the necessary legal petition for SUBJ

been prepared, at least not at this
writing. While there may be few of
the Kandiyohi residents who would be

Stone Walks for Court House.

Pedestrians who have occasion to
walk around the court house square
will gladly welcome the news that
there is to be brand new walk laid
in the not far distant future, and it
will be an all-tile one too. A stone
walk has for some time adorned the
north side and has been very ser.
viceable, but the time has come when
the old board sidewalks on the other
three sides must be replaced by more
substantial material and the county
commissioners will now take the nee
essary steps for the construction of
fine tile walks. There will also be
two new walks within the court house
yard. Commissioners Smithson and
Olson have been named as q CON-
mittee to receive bids for the construc-
ton OF such walks and the first day
of June has been announced as the
date for considering them. There
will be about 800 square yards OF
walk laid.

An Interesting Entertainment.

The stereopticon lecture and musi-
cal entertainment given by Adjt
Throckmorton and Captain Meyer on
Sunday evening was interesting and
instructive. The Methodist edifice
proved entirely too small for the
large audience which turned out to
hear them.
Mr.. Throckmorton gave a vivid
picture of the conditions which exist
in the sO.called "Slums" Of the large
cities, and showed what the Salvation
Army had done and what it is doing
to alleviate the misery, poverty and
ignorance of the people who are born
and brought up in these "hells" on
earth.
The latest charitable undertaking OF
the Salvation Army in Minneapolis
is that of fitting the old City Hall for
an Industrial Home and Poor Mans
Y. M. C. A. This work will require
S. 900 and the people present we're
asked to contribute whatever they
could for the purpose of helping in
the work. The neat sum of $35 was
secured.
