Sons of Norway will Not Com.
memorate Independence
Day this Year.

The Sons of Norway held a regular
meeting Monday evening and aside
from the regular routine business two
prominent candidates were given the
initiatory degrees. Sheriff o. G. Han
son was one of the victims to ride the
goat while another county official,
Auditor Hans Anderson took the honor
seat. AS both gentlemen weigh over
the 200 pound mark. a special animal
was imported for their use and benefit.
The matter Of celebrating Norway's
Independence day came up for con-
siderable discussion and after the mat
ter had been given due consideration
it was decided to let the day slip by
without celebrating. A later date, prob
ably some time in June, will be figured
on as the time for big picnic.
At the meeting last night, Nels
Thompson. president of the lodge, was
elected a delegate to the annual con-
clave of the head lodge which will
be held in Chippewa Falls, Wis, on
June 20. Judge l.. H. Hassell, an Of

BIG LOG JAM At CR0QKsT0N
They Are Piled Up In Red Lake River
Drivers Are Having All Kinds
Of Trouble With Drive.

A big log jam containing 100000
feet of logs piled up six or eight feet
high and filling the river for quar-
ter of mile is causing the river driv-
ers of the Crookston Lumber company
considerable trouble at the present
time. The jam is formed over east of
Jeromes addition in Crookston where
there is boom which holds the big
drive and the logs are allowed to
come from there to the mill in small
quantities.
The jam was caused by sudden
rise in the river which caused the
waters to run swiftly and catch the
big pile of logs which we're dumped
into the river at the landing three
miles above the city last winter. Com
ing down they stopped at the boom
just east Of Jerome's addition and be-
gan piling up.

OUT IN THE STATE WITH THE EDITORS

Assumption Pioneer: Whenever you
are right hew to the line no matter what
happens.
New Orleans Christian Advocate: Do
not be in too great hurry to put yourself
at the front. If you are worthy and capa-
BILE you will get there in due time.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: AS for
the patrons of peace, they must know
there can be no greater assurance against
war than navy strong enough to protect
all parts of the country; and when we
have such navy we can feel quite con-
fident that no country will want to provoke
a difficulty with the United States.
Mansfield Journal: 1t is to be regretted
that the campaign is to be opened now.
The primary will not be held until January
and the candidates could well afford to
permit the people to remain quit for several
months yet. But politicians are restless,
especially when they are out of office.
They like to be before the tootlights and
attract the attention of the public to them
selves.
Claiborne Guardian Journal: Our ad-
vice to our readers is not to be in haste to
commit to the support of any candidate.
The voters are going to have good material
to select from and ought to make wise
choice. Wait and read the platforms and
hear the candidates discuss the issues of
the, day before committing to any of them.
After that has been done, select and sup
port the candidate that you believe will
best serve the State; but hear and weigh
the evidence before making your verdict.
Do not be in hasteto get in the band wagon
Of any candidate.
