With Ez-U. s. Senator Spooner They Will be Among Distin- 6iShed to Receive Honor
 ary Degrees.
MoRGAN's NAME ENDORSED
Returning Graduates Pleased That Great Financier Is to Be Honored-Proud That Yale Has Courage of
 Convictions.
 

Returning graduates who have been asked their opinion of the Judgment of the university in conferring upon J. Plerpont Morgan of New York the highest degree in it's gift. have without exception expressed their satisfaction. f It Is recognized that 1t Is within the scope of Yale's generosity to recognize worth In any important walk of life. l As one of the younger graduates with cowboy costunie one expressed 1t yes- terday afternoon:
 II am proud of Yale that she has tho courage of her convictions.' It may be said, too, that Mir. Morgan, who in- | tended originally to remain In London for the Anglican congress, but who returned to this country to receive the degree to be conferred upon him tomorrow, is as pleased at the honor shown him by Yale as Yale is at his enthusiastic receipt of 1t.
 The old campus of Yale college has hummed with rumors of other degrees to be conferred but only that confirm ation could be given them which ap- peared to fit in with the known policy of Yale. Navigator Peary never had harder trouble to find the North Pole than representatives of The Journal Courier have had to convince members of the corporation that their duty to' the public consisted in their willingneskj to anticipate President Hadley's anf nouncements at the alumni dlnSer "Wednesday afternoon.
 One of the interesting rumorsYIs to the effect that John H. Stevens, Il vice. president of the New Haven Railroad company, will receive the degree of Master of Arts, not because he is an officer of the Connecticut Railroad com pany, but because of the important work he did in determining the task of digging the Panama canal. The oi- ficers of the United States army, now | in charge of the work are unanimous in the verdict that had 1t not been for the engineering skill of MT. Stevens the canal would be not much farther pros gressed than when DeLesseps left 1t.
 Still another rumored candidate for an honorary degree is Otto Barnard of the class of 1876, a classmate of Presl- dent Hadley, and president of the New York Trust company MT. Banpard has been one of the most prominent of the Yale graduates In New York and was at one time the president of the Yale club. He was offered the position of one of the receivers of the Knicker- booker Trust company. when it was forced to close Its doors last fall, but declined.

An extra freight on the Fergus

TO COLLEGE AND TO
WORK in SCHOOLS

Vacation days will soon be over
and everywhere the young people

can easily find out by glance at
the following summary. The high

and nearly every one of them is
going away to school or to teach.
Florence Couling, Mile Rasmus-
son and Marion Minton will attend
the St. Cloud Normal; Olive Crosby

IRVING INDEX
-: 1=*e. e.e4 :s-

:. Irving, Aug. 31.--News was re-
ceived here today from Everett,
WASH, telling of the sudden death
of S. S. Sivertson, one of the oldest
settlers of Irving. Mr.. Sivertson
was born in Gulbrandsdalen, Nor
way, and came to this township
about thirtysix years ago, where he
lived until three years ago, when
he moved to Everett, WASH, to
make his home with his son-in-law
and daughter, Prof. and Mrs. Laur-
hammer. The remains will be
brought here and laid to rest by the
side of his wife in the Nordland
cemetery. Mr.. Sivertson leaves to
mourn his death one daughter, Mrs.
P. O. Laurhammer of Everett,
WASH, and one son Hans, of Alas
ka, together with a large number
of relatives and friends.
Prof. Arnold lectured at the
Nordland church yesterday. The
subject of his address was ''Tem-
perance and Prohibition. A large
crowd listened attentively to the
very interesting and instructive
talk, and let US hope that some of
the seed at least fell in good
ground.
Altho farmers here are paying
twenty cents an hour to threshers,
some of our boys were not satisfied
but left last week for North Dako-
ia, hoping to better their circum-
stances, which the rest of US farmer
boys hope they may succeed in do
ing.
Mrs. Putnam and Karen Hanson,
who have been visiting here the
past week, intend to return to Will
mar tomorrow.
The Misses Anne and Laura Pc
derson returned last Tuesday from
short visit at Sisseton, S. D.
A blind pig passed thru Irving
last week, supplying some people
with 'the very best. However.
he mistook foes for friends and as
result is now in the county Jail.
