Ninety-four persons took the
state examinations for teachers held
last week. This is an increase of
32 over last year, and it is probably
the largest number that ever took
the examinations in this county.
Twelve applied for LIST grade. 27
for complete second, and the rest
for limited second grade certifi-
Gates. The examinations were all
fair, with the exception of history,
in which the applicant was expect
ed to write a little book in an
hours time. Not only was the test
entirely too long. but the questions
selected were for the most part
stupidity old-fashioned in that they
tested the applicants mechanical
memory rather than their true
knowledge of history.

SEEK STATE EX-
PERT ADVICE
City Dads Take Up Foot Lake
Problem. Provide New Roof
For Carnegie Library.

The city council decided last
Monday evening to ask the state
board Of health to send Prof. H. T.
Bass to Willmar that he might look
over the grounds and suggest i'm
provements for the present system
of sewerage. Prof. Bass is sani-
tary expert to the state board of
health, and he is q man of eminent
authority on questions of drainage
and sanitation. The date when
Prof. Bass will be here will be an
nounced later.
There seems to be some misun-
derstanding regarding who has
authority to order Foot lake
damned. The old law provided
that the county commissioners
should deal with the question when
ever the lake was either partly OF
wholly within the county limits,
and that the village or city council
should be the proper authority in
cases where the lake was either
partly or wholly within the village
or city limits. In April this yeal
this law was amended so as to read
'provided, however, that this shall
not apply to cities governed by {
home rule charter As Willmal
is so governed. the authority vestet
in the city council under the ole
law reverts to the county commits
sioners, and it is now up to tha
body to deal with the question.
The council also increased the Ii
brary appropriation by $500, tn
money to be used for the buildin,
of new roof, which is badly need
ed. The new roof will not be fiat
as is the present one. but tilted
and it will have a cupola at tn
top, which will add a great deal
the attractiveness of the building

Norwegian Steamship Line.

A movement has been started for
q new. direct route between Amer
ica and Norway, the line to be
known as the Norwegian American
Line, and to be equipped with mo-
dern, fast ships to carry mail. pass
engers and freight. The new line
will be established as q IA day route
between America and Norway,
touching at Bergen and Trondhjem,
thus making connections with the
two trunk railroads, "Bergens-
banen" and "Merakerbanen." 1t
is also proposed to establish direct
connection with Christiania, Stav-
anger and other large harbors in
Norway.
In America the ships will arrive
at New York either direct or, if it
should prove more feasible, over
Fort Pond Bay (Montauk), the
eastern point of Long Island. with
nearly a half days shorter time en-
route than with direct landing at
New York.
A route planned for the Norwe-
gian-American line will in connec-
tion with "Bergensbanen, in COM
parison with the Danish line or the
United Steam Ship Association 8
line, afford the shortest sea trip
and the fastest, most direct route
between America and Norway.
And as compared with the big
steam ship lines of England and
Germany, the Norwegian-American
line can easily hold its own in
speed, considering the usual stops
in England and Germany at points
of departure.
The capital stock, which it is ex-
pected will be bought up by Nor
wegians in Norway and Norwegian
Americans in America, has been
placed at 10 million crowns, pro-
viding for the routes development
in the future. Each share has been
placed at 200 crowns. ($54), and
half shares at 100 crowns ($27).
The shares have been placed at a
small figure in order to interest all
and that the new line may become
OF national interest among the mas
ses of the two countries concerned.
Senator Thorpe is representing
the line in this city and any infor-
nation regarding the enterprise
may be secured from him.

CHRISTIAN VOLUNTEERS TO
ESTABLISH HOME FOR UN-
FORTUNATES AT ZUMBROTA

Staff Captain J. H. Dyke of the
Christian Volunteers of Minneapo-
lis was in Willmar Friday and Sat-
urday. soliciting contributions for
a Home for Unfortunates to be es-
tablished in Zumbrota in a building
formerly occupied by a hospital.
The hospital proposition failed, and
the stockholders agreed to give their
stock to the Christian Volunteers
provided they would assume mort
gage of $1,000. This they did, and
they are now trying to raise enough
money to pay this, as we'll as to Sc
cure additional funds for repairing
and fitting up the building. The
property, which consists of 25-
room building and three acres of
land, is valued at $12,5O0.
The Volunteers propose to ap-
point a representative in towns of
1000. and up. who will keep in touch
with local physicians and report all
cases who need help along rescue
liEas directly to headquarters on q
strictly confidential plan. 1t is al
so planned to appoint a member Of
the board Of trustees from each of
the larger cities, who will be local
ly interested in the work. The
home will be operated along strict
ly Christian lines. giving its in
mates Christian influence and en-.
couragement to a better life. 50
that when they leave the home it
will be with a firm determination
to live a better life and will also
arrange for the disposition of the
unfortunate children. placing them
when possible in Christian homes,
where they will be brought up to
be useful Christian men and women.
They will thru their free employ
ment department be able to fine
employment for those that are
needy. AS little publicity as posi-
bic will be given the unfortunate'
who seek refuge there and thr,
their help and assistance will save
! many from plunging into a life Of
shame and moral ruin.

Bitten BY q DoQ.

Sunday evening as Kenneth, the
ten year old son of Engineer AL
Baldwin, was crossing the railroad
bridge, he was set upon by Anton
Ronning's dog, which inflicted a
wound in his left thigh. The bite
was not bad one, however, and
the doctors do not think it will be
long before it will be completely
healed. There was some talk about
the dog being mad, but he has been
kept tied up ever since Sunday, and
so far he has exhibited no signs of
being afflicted with the dread dis
ease.

G. n. MAGNATES
AT WuLMAR
The Hills, Father and Son, Make
q Stop At Willmar. on Their
Crop Inspecting Trip.

For about five minutes Willmar
entertained the highest Great Nor
tkern officers last Friday afternoon.
The party included L. w. Hill. pre-
sident: James J. Hill, chairman; J.
M. Gruber, general manager; w.
D. Scott, general superintendent,
and G. A. Bruce, general master
mechanic. and they went thru Will
mar on the day mentioned on their
way to St. Paul after a tour of in.
spection over various parts of the
system. ...
The distinguished visitors did not
stay in Willmar longer than they
did for the simple reason that there
was very little to inspect. They
experienced some difficulty in locat-
ing the freight depot-where q
faithful band of employees were do
ing more than $4,000 worth OF
freight business per year. within a
space not big enough for a stable
and when they finally did locate it,
they expressed surprise that the
Great Northern hadn't torn down
the shack a long time ago. Mel
ther were the inspectors satisfied
with the passenger depot, altho
they complimented John Anderson
upon keeping it so clean. but they
were unable to state anything lust
yet" regarding any definite plans
for building improvements But
it was very evident both from the
facial and the verbal expressions Of
the members Of the party that they
were very much disgusted with the
present state Of affairs, and we ven
ture to guess that whoever the
"Great Northern" is, he will get it
when the inspectors get home. We
would not be very much surprised
to see at least a new freight depot
come sailing along one of these
days, for they say Jim Hill has q
way of getting what he wants,
even from the Great Northern.
