SCHOOL CHILDHtN'S MATINEE, SC
New Feature Will be Installed in Au.
ditorium Tuesday.

Beginning Tuesday, a school chill
dren's matinee of moving pictures will
be given at the Auditorium every af-
ternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The pictures
will be just the same as those shown
at night, but the illustrated songs will
not be sung at the matinee. On this
account, the admission to these school
childrens matinees will be only 5
cents. This admission entities one to
a seat in any part of the theater The
pictures shown are wholesome, clean
and interesting. More than that, many
of them are an education in them
selves, showing views of foreign lands.

Now That He Has Thought II Over,
He Sees Benefit.
c. ID. Simms is one man In the outly-
ing districts who sees Justice in the
annexation movement that has been
started to extend the city limits OF
Norfolk. 81 must confess" said Mr.
Simms yesterday, that when I first
heard OF the proposed annexation
thought that would rather not be in
cluded in the annexation deal. This
was only my first thought, though. A
little reflection shows one that the
item of additional taxes will be light
one. In fact 1t Is an expense that
would be more than offset In a short
time by direct benefits. | am sure that
we would receive our proportionate
share of lights, fire protection and
crossings. City water mains are be-
ing constantly extended and they
sion Is made for Norfolk has grown
out beyond the fire limits as a num-
Der of recent fires has shown. But
beyond the benefits received, and
can now see where they would coun-
terbalance whatever increase there
might be in taxes, can see the justice
in arguing why those Of us who are
benefited by being residents Of Nor
folk, not legal but actual Norfolk,
ought to contribute our share towards
city expenses. Besides touching local
affairs I would like to be an actual
resident of the city with a vote in city
elections" Mr.. Simms Is not alone
in his attitude. In fact some Of the
Thursday evening demonstrators have
told members of the city council that
as they consider the proposition more
they think better of the annexation
side. One man said that what he
wanted was the guarantee Of Square
deal" in the promise that the new ter
ritory would receive city benefits as
fast as would be practical.

of Commercial Clubs.

cally complete, but will be submitted
to the judgment of the coming con-
ference for further recommendations,
before it is announced.
Every commercial organization in
the state should send a representa-
tive to this commercial club meeting.
The meeting will not be held for the
purpose of boosting" the twin
cities, or any other particular sec
ton of the state; on the contrary,
those who have been instrumental in
getting up the meeting desire it to
be distinctly understood that the
meeting will be for the purpose of
pushing the development of the
whole of the great state of Mime
sofa, irrespective of sectional lines.
George H. Welch, chief of the
new bureau of immigration, is one of
the prime movers in the proposed
meeting, and it is known that he is
especially active in pushing the ad-
vantages of Minnesota to the front.
Bemidji will undoubtedly send
live delegation to the January
meeting, and every city and town in
the state which has a commercial
organization should be represented,
as much good can be accomplished
by the organization of state fedora
ton of commercial clubs.

MINNESOTA u MANDOLIN
AND GLEE CLUB IS COMING
Forty Talented College Men Will Give Fine Entertain
ment at City Opera House Saturday Evening".
Best Organization in the West

Citations, and those who have
emerged from them after their
college time is over, than patriotism
ever stirs in the breasts of most
people.
This is spirit which comes
naturally to the youth who has
reached the junction of boyhood and
manhood or travelled little beyond.
He has the maturity to realize and
accept the serious things, he sees
irrresistably the ridiculous and
comical things, and he siezes both
with the life that only youth con-
tributes.
Those students who are mixed
up' in the many branches of student
activities and do the most work for
college organizations, are the ones
who receive in return the greatest
amount of affection for their Alma
Mater" The football men love
their college, not only because it was
there that they made some of their
fastest friendships and formed some
of their most lasting associations,
but because they fought for her
honor and fame. So it is with the
debators, the members of the
Dramatic Club, and those of the
Y. M. c. A. The men of the Glee
and Mandolin Club do not know
how much they really love their
college and the fellowship which
they have found there until they all
get off together for their annual trip
and the time has come for them to
show what they have been working
at together for the first four months
of the yeat.

HAZEL ALBRANT IS DEAD;

Daughter of Mrs. R. J. AIbrant Victim
OF Pneumonia, While Visiting
at Fergus Falls.

The body of Hazel Albrant, the
4-year-old daughter of Mrs. r. J..
Albrant of this city, was laid to rest
in Greenwood cemetery here this
afternoon at o'clock.
Previous to the interment, funeral
services were held at the home of c..
Z. Albrant, a number of the friends
of the Albrant family congregating
in token of respect to the family.
Hazel Albrant died at Fergus
Falls at 6 O'Clock Tuesday evening,
pneumonia being the direct cause of
death. The child, who had been
suffering with spinal meningitis, had
about recovered from that disease
when pneumonia set in, with fatal
results.

Governor Johnson and prominent
men from different sections of the
state will meet in Saint Paul on Fri
day to finally approve the details of
the program for the commercial club

with business engagements which he
cannot break.
One of the important addresses of
the convention will be on home buy

The entertainment which the
University of Minnesota Glee and
Mandolin Club gives is of course
musical, and the boys pride them
selves upon having among their
number some of the best artists
in the west. AS the Minnesota
football team always places her in
the front rank and often at the
head of western athletics, so her
Glee and Mandolin Club has estab-
lished its standing as one of the
most thoroughly developed of all
of the organizations Of its kind
in western universities and colleges,
and many say its work is equal
to almost any in the east.
The program, though musical, is
not recital or even what IS gen
orally termed a concert. The
music is presented in a scene
bubbling over with college life and
enthusiasm. There is nothing
staid and solemn about it. One
minute the boys are carried away
with irresistible mil t h,
and the miTth is contagious
beyond the foot-lights; the next
minute they throw the same heart
and zeal into one of the beautiful
compositions which they have
worked over and studied together
until they feel the impulse of every
note; and again the stage is the
scene of wild college enthusiasm,
an emotion which is second only
to patriotism and is felt much more
strongly by those who are in the
midst of college interests and asso-

SAYS THERE IS CHANCE
OF LOSING OUT IN DEAL
Congressman Steenerson Writes Letter
Concerning Lands Owned BY Ore
gon & California Railroad.

NAOOhotOu 1AHlCS: "A 6OOO many
people in Polk county and the valley
have been interested in certain
Oregan lands that they have been
given to understand could be pur-
chased for $3.50 per acre in tracts
up to 16O acres each. AS there is a
possibility that some of our investors
in northern Minnesota may be i'm
PEELED to put some money into the
proposition and thereby probably
lose it, the Times offers a letter
from Congressman Steenerson ex-
planning about the lands and the
terms governing their sale. It seems
that in the year 1862, an act of con-
gress was passed granting to the
Oregan & California Railroad Com
pany of San Francisco large areas of
tillable land in Oregan and Cali
fornia, the act stating specifically
the land should be sold only to actual
settlers thereon and at not to exceed
$3.50 per acre, 100 acres being the
largest tract to be sold to any one
settler. A misconception has been
quite general in this and other parts
of the Northwest as to how to secure
one of these tracts and hence the
letter from Mr.. Steenerson will throw
light upon the matter. Writing to
a citizen of Climax, under date of
December 20, the congressman says:
L have your letter inquiring
about the land in Oregon that is re-
ported for sale at $3.50 per acre for
actual settlers. I called on the
assistant commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office this morning and
he seems to be familiar with the
whole matter, and he regards the
action of the lawyers who are
accepting retainers to bring suits for
people based upon demand for the
conveyance of the land, as fraudu-
lent. In the first place the Act of
Congress provides that the railroad
company shall sell the land to actual
settlers at $3.50 per acre. In order
to have any standing whatever one
must be an actual settler and make
improvements upon the land, and
then he has got his prospective law.
suit with the company for the title.
The company has refused to abide
by that condition of the grant which
required them to sell the land in
160-acre tracts at $3.50 per acre,
They have sold large tracts at a
higher price, and no doubt the land
is worth great more than that.
These people who are acting as
agents for the attorneys who claim
to make tender and are laying the
foundations for lawsuits, are really
committing fraud upon the people,
and the land office officials have
already requested the postofce de-
partment to have a fraud order
issued against delivering mail to
them.
