Mothers Day Sunday.

Next Sunday will be Mothers
Day at the local Presbyterian
church and the services in the
morning will be especially in honor
of the mothers. Each attendant at
the church is asked to wear white
carnation in honor of his mother
and badge of love and loyalty.
The greenhouse will make a special
price on these flowers on Saturday
for those who wish them for this
purpose. The pastors bulletin con-
tains the following suggestion in
regard to the observance Of the
day:
'Show your mother some special
kindness this day in words of afec-
tion and appreciation; by a gift or
visit to her or by a love letter if
absent from her. Bring her to the
special service at the morning hour.
Let all who have mothers living
men, women and children-make
their mothers feel this last May
day that in her children's hearts
she is Queen Of the May.''

GREEN LAKE
DAM QUESTION
Is SETTLED
Ii is Agreed 10 Raise Water
Eighteen Inches from
Recent Level.

The matter of establishing the
water level of Green Lake has been
finally agreed upon on basis salts
factory to all concerned. The coun-
ty engineer, w. R. Hoag, will
amend the specifications for the
dam so as to make the level of the
spillway 13 inches above the level
of the lake as it was on April %.
With the normal amount of water
flowing from the lake this will
make raise of 18 inches.
An action was begun by those
protesting against the two foot
raise last Friday. Attorneys R. w.
Stanford and Charles johnson had
been retained in the matter and
the complaint was signed by J. M.
Spicer, F. H. Harris, Ole j. Orson
and Ole Haverly. Atty. Stanford
went to Olivia Thursday night and
secured an order from Judge Pow
ers restraining the letting Of the
contract under the old plans. The
matter was adjusted on Saturday,
the county officials agreeing to
make the dam six inches lower than
originally intended. A stipulation
to this effect was made and signed
by County Attorney Bitterness for
the county and Attorney Stanford
for the complainants. The letting
of the contract was adjourned until
Thursday of this week, to give time
to the engineer to make the neces-
sary changes in the specifications.
The total cost Of the work will
probably reach a figure below $500.
AS the work will include the
grading and raising Of the drive
way for distance of more than a
third of a mile, Chairman Olson
feels that the money will be we'll
spent even from the standpoint of
the improvement of the road. The
raising of the roadway is made nec-
essary by the draining of the slough
which backed up to the road before
the ditch drained the same. With
high water in the lake, there was
danger that the roadway, which
would not be much above the water
level, would be washed out at any
time.
It is probable that the county
will begin an action to recover
damages against the engineer un-
der whose supervision the digging
of the Grow River ditch was done,
for the unwarranted proceeding of
practically starting the ditch nearer
the lake than the survey of the
ditch provided for.

Hurt While BLASTING.

Ole E. Olson, who lives on the
Eagle Lake creek in town of Dovre,
met with a serious accident yester-
day while blasting rock on his
farm. A charge of powder explod-
ed while he was still loading the
rock. One hand was badly lacer-

one eye receiving dangerous in
juries. He was taken to the Will

were dressed. It is regarded as
doubtful if the injured eye can be

CONVENTION
Delegates Named 10 State Con-
ventf0n aud County Com
mittee Appointed.

The Prohibition County Conven-
tion held yesterday afternoon was
opened at 2::45 o'clock with song
by Mr.. w. j. Arnold. K. T. Ryk-
ken was elected chairman and P.
W. Peterson secretary. The fol-
lowing were elected as delegates to
the state conventions. E. Magnu-
son, P. O. Anderson, A. C. Craw-
ford, Erick N. Nelson, Peter Bon
de, Victor Knutson, S. A. Rasmus-
son, P. W. Peterson, Jalmar Lar
son, J. S. Christensen, Carl Amen
rud. G.. A. Glader, P. R. Sletten,
Peter Henderson, ]. 0. Larson.
A somewhat lengthy discussion
took place as to the advisability of
expressing choice for a candidate
for representative at this time.
The prevailing sentiment seemed
to be that the legislative ticket
should be in the field. The opin-
ions were divided as to the advis-
ability Of making the choice now
or later. The matter was finally
left in the hands of the county COM
mittee. An executive committee
composed of S. A. Rasmussen, A.
C. Crawford and Erick Nelson was
elected. This committee has the
authority to appoint a county com.
mittee to be composed of one mem.
Der from each voting precinct.
The matter of nominating candi-
dates or Of securing candidates to
file for the nomination was post
poned until some future time. A
conference for this purpose is to be
called by the executive committee
named.
At the evening session w. J. Ar.
mold, who is employed by the State
Prohibition committee, entertained
the audience with several songs,
Miss Anna Ekdahl acting as accom-
panist. An address was made by
A. L. Markve, organizer for the
Seventh district. Mr.. Carl Amen
rud, the Seminary student who is
to work in Pope county, and Chris.
Hovland, who is to take charge OF
the work in this county, were called
on to express themselves in regard
to their work. The closing speech
was made by Mr.. Arnold.
Some of the best work the Prohi.
bition party is doing is the train.
ing Of young men for active public
life while fighting for a great moral
principle. What the country needs
is men who are willing to stand fol
the right, win or lose. The Young
Mems movement of the Prohibition
party deserves the hearty support,
financial and moral, of all gooG
citizens. It is a movement with
the greatest promise of good for the
future welfare of the country.

Teacher Pulled a Gun.

It is reported that the teacher in
the Gruetzmacher district made a
highly sensational attempt one day
last week to control the school by
the use of a loaded revolver. The
firearm was pointed at the heads of
the youngsters and they were
warned in true wild west fashion
to step lively.' The teacher was
discharged by Clerk Gruetzmacher
and his action afterwards endorsed
by the balance of the board.
