Concert Was Suparh.

One of the largest audiences of the
season greeted Harald Heide upon the
occasion of his second visit to this
city last Friday evening at the Will
mar opera house. To say that the
concert was good would be putting it
mildly, for it. was superb, and it
seemed as if the audience would never
tire of the music which this great
artist brought forth from his violin.
He was ably assisted by Mrs Edith
Fortiere, q Granite Falls musical
artist, whose accompaniments on the
piano as we'll as her solos on the same
instrument showed that she was q
musician in every sense of the
word. Her: numbers as we'll as those
of the violinist were received with
most enthusiastic applause.
From this city Mr.. Heide left for
Grand Forks, N. D., where he was to
fill an engagement this week. A
return engagement will be filled at
Eau Claire, Wis, after the Grand
Forks date.

stereo optieon Temperance Service.

''Alcohol and Business" will be the
subject Of a Temperance address
given in the First Presbyterian church
next Sunday evening at 1880, by the
pastor. The address will be illus
trated by more than fifty stereopticon
slides which will depict in a most
realistic way the evils of intemperance
and the attitude of the great railway
companies and other business corpor-
ations toward the liquor traffic.
Among the views shown will be a
reproduction of the celebrated paint
ing: breaking Home Ties'', Battle
in Manila Bay, four views of train
wrecked as the result of drunkenness etc.
A special feature of the service will he
the singing of: The Holy City, by
Mrs. F. w. Dobbyn, which will be
illustrated by a set of beautifully
colored slides. Other songs will be
thrown on the screen to be sung by
the audience. All who are interested
in the cause of temperance are cor
daily invited to attend this service.
A special invitation is extended to
railroad men to be present as it will
be service of special interest to
them.

A Voice from Sp.cer.

Spicer, Minn., March 10, 1906.
Editor Tribune:-It is needless to
say that the friends of reform here
feel happy over the result of the elec-
tion both in Spicer and in other
villages in this county. It is evident
that the people of this county are
strongly opposed to the liquor traffic,
and desire prohibition, or at least
county option, and it will be we'll for
candidates for the legislature to bear
this in mind next fall.
Spicer not only voted against
saloons but also elected no-license
council, and we think it will be hard
for the piggers to hide here, with a
council. that means business and is
backed up financially and morally by
three or four temperance Organiza-
tiOns. The future is bright for q good
class OF people moving into Spicer.
We expect to see another church built
here this summer and several other
buildings. Why won't Spicer be a
fine place to live in for retired far
mers and other people that like to
live by the waters?
The Cargill Elevator Co. has put in
another lumber yard here, and we
predict that they will do a good busi-
ness.
Wonder if the letter from Mr..
Anderson of Belgrade didn't open the
eyes of some of our "wet'' business
men.
Hope Willmar will roll up much
larger vote for no license this spring
than ever before. Let the good work
go on. S.

men have more self respect than the
members of your sex? [ don't think
you will ever see young men go pro-
menading around with drunken ladies
who smoke cigars and spit tobacco
juice all around. Girls will often
accept the company of such charac-
, ters. Until the girls demand of the
| boys the same purity of character
that the boys demand of the girls
there will be no refined society,".

Company After More Property.

Realizing that at least part of the
Sperry Addition to the city will be
needed in the not far distant future
for more room for the extension of it's
yards, the Great Northern Railway
Co. has, thru it's right of way agent,
Mr.. Averill, approached several OF
the property owners living in that
portion of the city with view OF
ascertaining what the property could
be bought for. Two blocks west of the
overhead bridge and a small portion
on the other side will probably be
needed. We understand that some OF
the residents there have expressed
themselves very strongly against SELL
ing their property and being obliged
to vacate. The company will attempt
to buy what is actually needed and
will offer for the same what it con-
siders fair price. In the event of a
refusal from the property owners to
dispose of their property, the COM
pany will institute the usual condem-
nation proceedings.
There has been much speculation as
to the exact location of the new stock
yards which the company plans to
build here and rumor has it that they
will probably be located in that part
of the city. In any event there are
many improvements contemplated by
the Great Northern which will make it
necessary to acquire large slice OF
additional ground in the eastern por-
ton of the city not far from the pre-
sent right of way. The present stock
yards are altogether too small to meet
the requirements and new location
is being planned for.

Property Changes Hands.

o. B. Olson of this city has become

residence property on the north. The
property of late has been owned by
Edward Markwtt, of Abby, S. D., who
disposed of the same in a trade with
Mr.. Olson for a quarter section of
land in North Dakota. The deal was
closed last Saturday thru the real
estate firm of K. Samuelson & Co. In
a previous deal Mr.. Samuelson
became the owner of quarter section
of land in Norman county, which he
secured in a trade with j. E. Leslie
for 28O acres of South Dakota land.

RAILROAD CHANGES
Great Northern Officials Are Trans.
Il. fsrrsd ss Result Of Creation Of :.
- New Divisions. E=x.,<--


All kinds of rumors have been afoat
regarding proposed changes in; the
division points Of the Great Northern.
It is now definitely known that the
first of April there will be transfer
of several employees on the system.
M. H. Murtha, late of Spokane, Wash :,
where he has made his headquarters
as trai nmaster on the Spokane Falls
& Northern railway, is transferred to
Willmar, where he succeeds r.. l..
Knebel as assistant superintendent of
the Willmar division, which now ex-
tends from St. Paul to Breckenridge.
Mr.. Knebel goes to Sioux City to
make his headquarters there as assist
ant superintendent of the Willmar &
Sioux Falls division, which extends
from Willmar to O'Neill, Neb. p. C.
Allen, of Whitefish, Mont, will be
the new superintendent of this divi-
sion. Other officials who will be re-
moved from this city to Sioux City
are Roadmaster Connolly and Master
Carpenter Nelson. Chief Clerk Car
michael of the Great Northern Offices
here, will also be transferred to that
point and with him will 20 his chief
stenographer, Frank Connolly, and
perhaps severa. others of the force of
clerks and dispatchers. The transfer
will necessitate quite change in the
force here, but just to what extent we
are at present unable to state def
nitely.
The creating of the line from St.
Paul to Breckenridge into one divi-
sion, with headquarters at Wi]lmar,
will necessitate the removal of num-
Der OF train crews from Breckenridge
to this city, who will now be under
the supervision of Master Mechanic
Winney. We understand that Master
Mechanic Huffman will be transferred
from breckenridge to Sioux City. 1t
is reported that q train crews in all
will be obliged to make their head
quarters in Willmar on account of the
enlarged division. The Breckenridge
division, it is stated, will extend to
Devils Lake, N. D.
All of the changes contemplated will
mean several promotions among en-
ployes, especially at the Great North
ern offices in this city, from where
part OF the force is removed to Sioux:
City. Willmar will reap the benefit.
OF the change in the fact that there
will be more families added to her
present population as the result of the
removal from Breckenridge.
