N0RWEG|ANS WILL
CELEBRATE IN
May
National Independence Day
Will Be Fittingly Observed
in This City.

The coming May 18th promises to
be day long remembered by the
Scandinavians in this city. Visitors
from all over the state will be present
and a big celebration is planned by
the committee having the work in
hand. Speeches, banquets, and par
AIDES, and a play to be put ON at the
Metropolitan opera house are some of
the features planned. Although there
are several other dates, ON account of
recent events, which can well be
recognized by the Scandinavian people,
yet this date-May Twill ever re-
main in the minds of the people as the
real date of Norways independence.
The day will also mark the formal
dedication of the Scandinavian library
to be installed at the university and
procured by dint of hard work on the
part of Professor Tingelstad, who
raised over $4,000 throughout North
Dakota from the Scandinavian people.
The state added $4,000 to this sum and
the result will be one of the finest
Scandinavian libraries in the United
States. Professor Tingelstad took
trip to Norway and Denmark about Il
year ago in the interests of the work
and too much credit cannot be given
ulIl lOF Ile SUCCESS OI tIle uuQ6fCdkluS.
The committee, composed of H. J.
Lylllten, J. Anderson, Professor Tin
gelstad, Miss Hassel and Miss Lund.
has selected Anton Sannes of Mime
apolis to handle the play. MIR. Sannes
is a Scandinavian actor of some note
and the one who had charge of the
play put on at the big May 18th cele-
bration at DEBORAH, Ia, last year.
The play which Mr.. Sannes has to
work upon is called "Jeppe paa Bier
get" or in English, "Jeppe on the Hill
side" 1t is a play by that famous
Norwegian playwright, Ludwig Holberg,
whose works are known throughout
the world. 1t is a comedy in every
sense of the word, a comedy of peasant
life in Denmark along about the first
part of the 18th century, having been
played as early as 1922 in Denmark
and Scandinavia. The play is truly
remarkable for its vivid portrayal OF
the peasant life at that time and as
such has always been a great favorite
with the theater-goers.

OF Interest to East Siders

communications have been made on the
matter, and the city has tried to lease
the grounds for the purpose, but it
seems the property has just passed
through the probate court, and the
matter has not been adjusted. 1t was
referred to the committee on water and
light with power to lease the property
If possible. and If not to arrange for
another place for storing the wood.
A communication from John Hass
was read. 1t seems that in 1902 he
made application for liquor license
and put up a $500 cash bond. The
license was not granted, and accord
ing to the communication, the money
had not been refunded. 1t was referred
to the city attorney for investigation.
The matter of appointing the board
of health was brought UP, and City
Attorney Collins suggested that the
council take a recess SO that state
ment could be prepared. The presi-
dent declared a recess of twenty
minutes, and in about twenty seconds
Craig had suggested the names Of
Alderman Westberg, Bydahl and Bor-
cheers. Before the president had time
to get out of his chair, the council an
nounced itself ready to proceed. Craig
moved their appointed, Sherlock
seconded the motion, and the most
powerful committee of the council was
appointed.
Fl BY resolution the fire apparatus of
the city was placed in the hands Of the
superintendent of the electric Hight
plant.
The matter Of granting liquor
licenses was then taken up. Twenty
eight were on file but were laid over
because the applicants had not signed
the contract for the use of electric
lights from, the city as required by the
ordinance. There seems to be a mis-
understanding on this matter. The
city requires all applicants for license.
before receiving such license, to sign
a contract with the city to purchase
whatever electric light is used about
the saloon, from the municipal plant
of the city. The ordinance. does not
prevent persons having licenses from
using other kinds of lights, but only
requires that If electricity Is used it
be purchased from the city. In as
much as the city owns the electric
light plant, and also the license
privilege, the restriction seems to be
very unreasonable, Otherwise cases
might arise In which the city undertook
to regulate the saloons they could
procure their light from the west side
and practically put the electric light
plant out Of business. The following
applications were approved | and

per, prominent physician of the

monia and is not expected to live.
DR.. Upper, who is one of the wealthy

for the chartering of the Special" and
in record-breaking time had DR.. H. w.

possible with the present poor condi-
ton of the roadbed. 1t was reported

pVTdtlnts AtHletlc ASSOCIATION Under
State Law.
A mass meeting is being held at the
state university this afternoon by the
students and members of the faculty
for the purpose of considering the
proposition of Incorporating the Uni
versity Athletic association under the
laws of the state.
This has been agitated more or less
OF late and there seems to be an i'm
preston abroad that to incorporate
would be beneficial to the successful
conduct of athletics in connection with
the states foremost institution.
There are numerous improvements
being made at the university along
the line of providing for athletics, viz.
the construction of fine running
track, the purchasing of apparatus,
such as throwing hammers, the
discus, etc. Tennis courts have also
to be maintained and baseball and
other material furnished.
Ii the association is incorporated.
it will mean that in future all athletic
events. such as track meets, football,
baseball, etc. will be handled and
financed by the association, the mem
bers of which shall be stockholders.
The government would be vested in a
set of officers and board of directors.
1t is expected that decision will
he finally arrived at some time late
today.

CITY FATHER TAKE
UP LEGISLATIVE
GRIND
Cost of Power for Brick Com
pany Discussed and |. Other he
Matters.

The city council met in adjourned
session last night with, all the members
present The reading of the minutes
were dispensed with-for the sake Of
melOdy-and the council proceeded to
business. I'D.
There was no report of officers, and
none of standing committees.
"A communication was read from
the Red River Valley Brick company in
reference to continuation of its con-
tract with the city for power for its
brick plant on the east side of the
river. The matter turned into an in
formal talk. It seems that the COM
pany has formerly paid the city SIS
per month as fiat rate no matter how
many days the plant was idle. Super
intendent Allard had estimated that
according to the power required as in
dicated to him by the company 1t would
cost at the regular rate at which the
city is now selling electricity, about
$211 per month on the basis of
regular service Of ten hours every day.
He thought it would not be expedient
tor the city to enter into contract nm
der these conditions. and the council
seemed to share this belief. The rate
of forty cents per hour was also not
satisfactory. It was concluded that
the, only fair way would be to attach
the machinery of the plant to the
dynamo, and test the amount used, and
see II an agreement on this basis could
be reached. In order to carry out this
idea the matter was referred to the
committee on water and light in con-
junction with the superintendent of the
electric light plant. and as it was
important that the matter be settled at
az early date as possible, they were
empowered to act in the premises.
The. city, council was notified to re-
move Its wood from the lots near the
electric light plant. Several former
