MEETS GREAT COMPOSER
PRESS AGENT OF ST. oLAF,s
BAND TELLS OF INTERVIEW
WITH EDWARD GRIEG.

Harry Randall, impressario for tho
st. Olaf college band during its Nor
wegian tour this summer, arrived in the
city today after completing arrange
ments for twenty-five concerts in Nor.
way and five in the United States. He
crossed the ocean on the steamship
Oscar H., of the Scandinavian-Amer.
lean line, which is the boat which will
convey the ST. Olaf students to Nor
way in June. Captain Hemphill Of the
Oscar H., is as much interested in the
tour as any one and promises the party
good time while on his boat.
famous people since he left Mime
apolis last winter, including Edward
Grieg,e the great composer, and Premier
Nicholson, who steered Norway thru
the dangerous crisis Of last summer.
He made special trip to Washington
to present TO President Roosevelt q
medal struck in honor Of the American
tour Of the Norwegian students chorus.
This medal he presented in person and
was graciously received by the presi-
dent.
Edward Grieg was much interested to
learn that his famous chorus s'Land-
kjending" Land Sighting) had been
arranged expressly for the st. Olaf
band and promised himself the pleasure
of hearing it. He said that he had
once heard one of the great bands in
Germany play the composition, but the
arrangement had not been printed as
far as he knew.
Premier Nicholson predicted that the
American boys would be received with
open arms, not only out Of gratitude
for the great attention shown the Nor
wegian students, but for the prominent
part that America had taken in secur-
ing the recognition of Norway after
the dissolution with Sweden.
In addition to the concerts, previ-
ranged for public appearances at Gjovik
and Lillehammer. At the latter place
the concert will be in Sandvik' IS park,
the great outdoor museum. 1t is ex-
pected that Bjornstjerene Bjornson will
attend the last named concert.
It is expected that the st. Olaf party
will meet King Haakon at Bergen, as
he will be in that city when the stu
dents arrive. It is planned to take the
party on cruise of Sogne fjord in the
steamer Lofoten at the time that EN-
peror William is sojourning at Gudvan
gen, and possibly the band may have
the honor Of playing before the en-
peror.
The first concert Of the tour will b.
held in Minneapolis on June Z, Nor
ways great holiday, at the Auditorium
Concerts will also. be given at Chicago
yet selected. The party will sail from
New York on June 81 at noon and viii
arrive in Norway ten days later.

THE FARMER.

The farmer has the most sane,
and natural occupation, and
ought to find life sweeter, if less
highly seasoned, than any other.
He alone, strictly speaking, has
a home. How can man thrive
and take root without land? He
writes his history upon his field.
How many ties, how many re-
sources, he has-his friendship
with his cattle, his team, his dog,
his trees, the satisfaction in his
growing crops, in his improved
fields; his intimacy with nature,
with bird and beast, and with
the quickening elemental forces;
his cooperation with the cloud,
the sun, the seasons, heat, wind,
rain, frost; nothing will take the
various distempers which the
city and artificial life breed out

Hhssed upon a farm. Cling to

that it shall SAVIOR of you and

A SPLENDID MOVE.

One of the best things that has
happened to Oakley in a long,
long time is the organization of
a Commercial Club. We know
of no one thing that could posi-
bly, mean so much to the town
today, as good strong emerge
tic chamber of commerce. This
will be power that will move
things, and will bring about
more improvements and more
progress in the next FIVE years
than has been in the past
twenty-five years. If only the
members of this organization
will lend the encouragement, and
put forth the effort, that they
promised on Monday evening,
there will be such COM
plete transformation in the
commercial, educational and
social conditions of the commun-
ity, as will make it a centre of
all those activities which contri-
butte to human progress and
social advancement, and will
make the town as desirable a
residence town as the great
state of Idaho affords.
We have a climate that exceps
Boise's, a soil that has no super
ior, a water supply that is ample
for a city of 250O0 inhabitants,
with excellent facilities for doub-
ling or trebling this in case of
necessity, and that, oo,of water
that is unexcelled in purity, a
natural slope that insures dry
ness and health, a country con-
tiguous embracing thousands of
as fertile acres as can anywhere
be found, hot mineral springs at

granite, onyx, copper, iron, oil,
and gold within a radius of 20
miles, abundance of timber near

1t Will Revive, Build Up and Boost
the Town---A New Era for Oakley.

The unsuspecting public was
very much surprised when II
awoke on Tuesday morning ano
found that a new era had dawn
ed upon this dear old town
which during the night had tax.
en- on the vestments and appur.
tenances Of a modern city.
For some weeks past, there
has been something doing in a
quiet, effective way, but few
were apprised of it, so that
when the layman became aware
on Tuesday morning, that a
fully organized, a modern and
up-to-date Commercial Club had
been born during the night, it is
no wonder that, Rip Van Wrinkle
like, they thrust their hands thru
their hirsute adornments, and
vigorously pulled and tugged
away at the same, to make sure
whether they were really awake,
and must perforce believe their
senses.
Hon. S. P. Worthington, the
mayor, initiated the movement
which came to such successful
fruition on Monday evening. In
response to his invitation about
20 of the prominent business
men, met in the Fourth Ward
meeting house and proceeded to
do business.
After the purpose of the meet
ing had been stated, each one
present arose and expressed his
views on the advisahility of the
organization of a Commercial
Club, and 1t just so happened
that there was a perfect unanim-
ity OF thought and feeling upon
the subject. 1t took them but
very few minutes to elect viva
voce the following splendid
coterie of officers.
President, w. T. lack.
Vice-president, H. c. Haight.
Secretary. E. M. Dunn.
Treasurer, S, F. Halverson.
Directorate-W. 7. Jack, Fl. c.
Haight, S. P. Worthington, S. E.
Hale, M, o. Funk, J. N. Price, A.
Nj. Merrill.
The following committee on
constitution and bylaws was
named by the president:
S. P. Worthington,
H. c. Haight,
A. M. Merrill.
The following on the securing
of permanent quarters was
named:
w. E. Aaron,
S. F. Halverson,
M. o. Funk.
The following members were
appointed to represent the Club
at the meeting of Commercial
Clubs of Southern Idaho, today
the fifteenth at Twin Falls:

to us speedily? Let us make a
beginning to show that we ap-
preciate what we have, by estab-
fishing a good school system, a
good water system, a good sys-
tenn of municipal government, of
peace, order and sobriety, and
the other things will follow rap
idly in their wake. Capitalists,
who have long had their eyes
upon us, anxious to connect our
prosperous community with the
commercial world will vie with
each other in being first to lay
the electric road. This will
mean, too, electric light, and
then we shall have all the ad.
vantages of large centres OF
trade, and industrial cities with
none of their disadvantages.
These things we believe a com
mercial club can bring about,
hence we hail with delight it's
organization. Representing, as
it does. the commercial interests
of the entire community, it will
move with such momentum as
will carry all things before it.
This could not be true of any
other organization. The town
board has done much, but it has
always been hampered by its
legal limitations. The Club will
be unlimited in its operations.
The voice of the Club will be the
voice OF the people, the criterion
of progress, and the force that
will bring sure results.
The business men were espec-
tally discreet and wise, in placing
at the head of this organization
the best business man, the wisest
leader, the most energetic man
the community can claim-Hon.
w. I. Jack. To have Pres. lack
at the head means success. And
as if this did not completely as
sure it, the foresight and wisdom
of the business fraternity, FORTH
fed themselves by patting a
mighty close second for vice-pres-
ident--Hon. H. c. Haight. No
man IN the community is more
interested in its development.
and will do more for the i'm
provement of conditions than
Hector c. Haight. The gentle
men were also felicitous in the
selection of their other officers
and board of directorate; they
are all men of experience and
men who are anxious to take
hold and lift. A great deal of
the work will naturally fall up
on the secretary and in Atty. E.
M. Dunn we believe the Club
have the very best man they
could have obtained for that
position. We have all confidence
in Secretary Dunn, believing that
he will conduct the correspon-
dence end of the Club in a thoro-
ly business like way, and in a
manner that will reflect credit
upon the organization.
What has been said of the
other officers can well be said of
the treasurer. No man is better
to take care of the
funds than S.F.Halverson. That
he will take the best possible
care of them goes withot saying.
Our only fear is that he might

still unable to get the safe open. they
decided to hide It. and return some fu-
ture day to get possession OF It again.
Thompson says they did hide 1t, and he
is sure It was so well hidden that no
one has found 1t to this day, and he
further claims that he Is the only man
now living who can find It. He Is quite
sure that he can walk straight to the
hidden treasure and dig it up In a few
minutes and he declares 1t to be his
purpose to buy the land upon which the
safe is buried and then take possession
of it with its contents. Thompson does
not give the source OF his information,
but says he knows that there Is as much
as $4,000 in tho safe. Without giving
Thompson's plausible reasons for writing
to the Richmond gentleman on the sub
tect it may be we'll enough to ask Is
there or was there wealthy gentleman
