Logan, April 24-People here. especially
those conversant with Agricultural COL

some or the present members leaving. To
begin with, Professor Ostien, the profess

CO. B IS CENSUREO
Continued from page ~

U. S. A., on April 20, 1907, the show
ing was very poor, probably the poor
est in the state. In view of the hon
est and faithful efforts made by your
self to maintain a company in the city
Of Fargo, this is very much to be re-
GREETED and seems to show that Far
20, although the largest city in the
state, either will not or can not take
the interest necessary to properly
maintain company as we'll as the
smaller towns of the state.
In view of this fact. unless an inn
mediate effort is made to recruit the
company up to the proper numerical
strength. and some showing made in
regard to obtaining an armory for the
proper storing and keeping of the
property issued by the United States
government, 1t will become absolutely
necessary to muster the company out
OF service, and place it in some town
where they will take some interest in
1t and properly maintain same.
Page and Casselton of your county
would both like to have a company.
Grand Forks, whose company was
mustered out several years ago, would
like to get back into the guard and
would like to get the place.
II regret the necessity of Writing
this letter. but. under the Dick bill,
companies must be up to the stand
ard, and you must either place the
company where it should be or It
must be mustered out.
Very respectfully,

this history Of the great war between
the states. The northern army were
men who offered up their lives for the
preservation of their country. In the
southern army were men equally
brave and loyal to their cause.
In our exercises on Memorial day
the animosities of the days that are
past should not be reviewed, but. on
the contrary, they should be entirely
forgotten. The honor and respect due
patriotic devotion should be shown all
who participated in that great strug-
gle. AS was said by the late General
Alger: Let US tread lightly by each
soldiers grave, be he from the north
or from the south, for he was an
American brother. dying for his con-
victions."
The only school exercises held on
May Both should be those appropriate
to the occasion. Honor the living and
the dead soldiers and at the same time
let us remember the obligations which
rest upon US in the way of perpetual
ing the principles for which they were
called upon to offer their lives on the
field Of battle.

last night as though there were no
possible heights to which he could
not rise in the climaxes. 1t made no
difference to him that forty instru-
ments. including the kettle drums,
were striving to be heard in the great
aria. why Do the Nations So Furi-
ously Rage" Far and above this
tremendous volume of exquisite har-
mony rose the grand voice, pure in
its richness, unfathomable in it's
depths, perfect in its articulation and
marvellous in its power Truly we
have been favored by this great sing
er, and We congratulate ourselves
again that the society should have
selected the Messiah. if for no other
reason than the opportunity it has
given us to hear Mr.. Holmquist sing
this song.
The chorus. that animate sea of
familiar faces that filled the stage
beyond its capacity, was truly on its
musical mettle last night, for in it
was centered the expectations of the
audience and the perpetuation of the
society: Great musical artists can
always be secured at price, but
choruses must be made from the ma
terial at our door. That Grand Forks
has the material has been demon
strated. Never did chorus sing
with greater animation. The four
months of persistent and consistent
work, under the able direction OF a
magnetic leader. reached its climax
last night in an outburst of maeni-
ficent harmony that thrilled the great
est audience ever assembled in the
Metropolitan theatre. 1t is customary
to say nice things of a local chorus.
but never did such a chorus more
truly deserve the genuine plaudits of
the people. Admirably balanced in
all the parts, prompt in the attack
of broken and difficult passages, true
to the key at all times. it made com.
binatiOn of harmony that permitted,
the great orchestra of forty pieces
to work to its capacity, and it was
difficult to tell whether the real climax
of its work was reached in the Halle
lujah chorus or the grand Amen"
Truly it was splendid chorus, and
while We listened with inspiration to
the soloists and the great orchestra,
we doff our musical hats to this chorus
and express the hope that not one Of
their voices will be missing when we
gather for the second annual May
Music festival of the Grand Forks
Oratorio society.
After all has been said aud due
credit given to all who contributed to
make this music festival success,
there is one personality that stands
out as the real genius of the festival.
This is Director George A. Stout His
was the inception. and who but he
could furnish the master hand for
such production as that given last
night He was able to assemble and
hold chorus of 1870 voices. composed
of almost every singer in the city.
Seldom was a member absent from
rehearsal, and always was there APP
parent that feeling of confidence il
the director so necessary to the sue
cess OF any great musical effort.
Grand Forks owes MIN an inestimable
debt of gratitude for the unknown
talent that he has brought forth to
elevate the musical atmosphere of our
fair city For it must be remembered
that it has been a labor of love with
Mr.. Stout, and in it he has had the
Indispensable assistance of his talent
ed wife.

SOME REFLECTIONS.

This week Grand Forks in particu-
lar and North Dakota in general have
been hearing truths that are calcu-
lated to quicken thought and enlarge
and enrich life. We refer to the pro-
ceedings carried on in connection
with Wesley college in the shape of
lectureship which is to be an annual
affair. We owe a debt of gratitude
to Dr. Robertson and the trustees of
Wesley college for making possible
conditions which have led to the COM
Ing Of DR.. Borden P. Bovine, pro-
lessor of philosophy in Boston uni
versity. AS is we'll known, Professor
Bovine is among the most eminent
metaphysicians of the world and is
regarded as an authority in his spe-
cial field.
We gave all the space in our COL
umns that was needed for the repro
duction Of DR.. Bowne's lectures, and
1t will be readily observed that his
hearers abroad have been more than
those at home" Our endeavor has
been to give our constituency the ben
eft OF the npest, broadcast, profound
est and most up-to-date scholarship.
All who have followed the Evening
Times reports will at once admit that
Dr. Bovine stands for the highest and
best in modern, scholarship. That he
has 4; message for the world is evil
dsnt. ana that he delivers 1t with
punsency, power. facility and author
ity, 10. equally evident. Both from his
