The GrieE Social.

On Thursday evening January %,
the Grieg Sangforening Society gave
one of their delightful Socials in their
hall in honor of the ''passive" MEM
bers who number seventeen, not
counting their "better halves" joy
and mirth and song and oratory filled
up the evening hours and the pro-
gram was a delight. The program
opened with a song by the Gfiegs,
Hon. c.. O. knudSon delivered a short
address, Mrs. \. n. Bragstad gave a
reading, a mixed choir sang, and
Messrs. Knudson and Serum sang a
duet, all Of which were heartily APP
plauded. Mr.. Knudson's speech was
full of praise for music and referred
to the old songs all heard and learned
from the dear old mothers and fathers
as they taught their children of form
er glories, and the speaker believed
that such inspiration in childhood
had done much to make men better
and more patriotic. "Who can doubt
it" said the speaker. "when We think
of ia vi elSker dette Landet som nu
stiZer frem.' and "Hor Oss Seva moder
for oss ALA when we think Of the
strained relations between Norway
and Sweden and the happy and peace
full ending of the difficulty.
The speaker paid a splendid tribute
to the passive members and thanked
them for their generous aid in a fin
ancial way and hoped the Griegs
would ever retain the love and respect
of L people which has been SO BEAU
tifully and so kindly expressed in the
past.
The "kitchen' program followed
the intellectual feast and it is need
less to say this part of the program
was carried out to perfection. Prof
essor Tuve seemed to be the only one
whose appetite lacked the JOY of
hunger, and the ladies were of the
opinion that the absence of Mrs. Tuve
had much to do with the Professors
condition. President Anderson called
upon Prof. Tive for a speech and he
responded and paid the Griegs many
well deserved compliments, as did also
Gudmund S%kartvedt, Thomas Thor
son and other speakers who were
called upon.

Worlds Fair in 1913.
Mr.. c. T. Vogel read an interesting paper
before the association, in which he stated
that intelligence had been received from
San Francisco that number of prominent
wealthy citizens of that city have in con-
temptation to hold worlds fair In the
Golden Gate city in 1913. In promoting
SUCH q glgantlc enterprise, an aSSOclaliOH
has been launched to be known. as the Pa
cific Ocean Exposition Company, which
plans to give a colossal fair to commemo-
rate the four hundredth anniversary of the
discovery of the Pacific ocean by Vasco
NuneZ de Balboa, a Spansh-American dis
coverer. The observance of such an his
torical event in conjunction with the antici-
pated completion of the Panama canal is
deemed especially appropriate. as was
after crossing the isthmus of Panama that
the daring navigator first looked upon the
Pacific. Balboa, in company with other
Spanish adventures, it was recalled. soon
became convinced when he was told that
beyond the mountains was a mighty sea
that could be seen from elevated points,
and that the rivers that flowed down the
slopes of the mountains on the other side
abounded with gold; also that along the
coast of that sea was country where gold
was as plentiful as iron.
The discovery o. gold In California did
not occur, however, until 1S4S, when Gen.
John A. Suffer and James Marshall first
found the precious metal in central Cali
fornia near the Sacramento river.
1t was declared to be the earnest wish of
the association that the fair project shall
surpass anything ever held west of the
Rockies. and assurance was given that by
the time it is in progress San Francisco
