FOLDAHL.

Christmas is past again with all
it's joys and pleasures. We had
excellent fine weather on Christmas
dav, which was good thing. The
Xmas festival and program of the
Y. P. S.. and Sunday School chill
dren of Foldal. was held in the even
ing and it was grand success. All
the Young people seemed to enjoy
taking an active part. 1t was a good
program. Besides many hymns.
recitations. speeches. songs and
music. We had we'll prepared
address by our lady missionary. Anna
Bergstrand. A large crowd was
gathered. the school room being
packed. and many enjoved the fresh
air outside. on account of lack Of
room. In the latter part of the pro-
gram. there came crowd of people
who were rather noisv. and tried to
disturb the peace. 1t seems that
some people out here have no better
sense than to try to disturb the Deo-
pie at religious meetings. After
the program was over and the people
had all left the place for their
homes. some i'll minded party had
gone back to the school house again.
and knocked out number of
lights in the school room.
and besides did other bad and un-
civilized deeds. which only shows
how low civilization stands among
some of our young people.
The peace officers of that town
have been notified about it. and are
now on a close lookout for the
offenders.

THE STATE GOOD
ROADS MEETING

The first annual meeting of the
Minnesota RoadMakers Association.
was held. Dec. Is. 1908. in the House
of Representatives Chamber. in the
old capitol building. St. Paul. There
was a large attendance.
Part of the program arranged for
the meeting was as follows:
:: Address by Hon. Gustave Scholle.
chairman State Highway Commits
sion.
minnesota Highways." by Geo.
W. Cooley. State Highway engineer.
"Drainage and it's Relation to the
Road Interests of the State,' by. G.
A. Ralph. State Drainage Engineer.
"Highway Bridges and Culverts."
by L. P. Wolff, State Bridge Expert.
"Discussion of History of Road
Building and Methods for Future
Work. G. A. Will. Hennepin Co.
"Road Laws" Hon. Geo. F.
Simpson. Attorney General.
"Leash Tax VS.. Statute Labor, "by
Geo. H. Staples.
''Earth Road Building." by J. T.
Elwell.
Addresses by Lieut.. Gov. A. O..
Eberhart. and several others.
One very interesting feature of
the meeting was the question box
every cay, and the general discus
sions folowing:
Often these would bring out some
very valuable suggestions relative to
construction. etc.. which would not
have been touched upon at all in any
other way.
There were two committees ap-
pointed. One on resolutions, on
which 1 had the honor to serve: the
other on legislation. Among the re-
solutions introduced was one re-
uuesting the State Highway CON-
mission to build one mile of highway
in each county. to serve as an object
lesson. the entire expense of same to
be met by the State. this in addition
to the one-third on State road ex-
penditures as now paid.
We also recommended that the
legislature pass a bill allowing the
state to paw one-half the cost of
state highway work. This it seems
to me would be more EQUITABLE. as
about one-half of the tax valuation
of the state is AGRICULTURAL. the other
half in the cities and towns. and it
would seem that such an arrange
ment. would e0ualize the cost of
these roads much more.
Several other laws and reforms
were recommended. both to the
general public and the state law
makers.
| was assured by members of the
highway commission that thev
would materially increase the appro-
Driatlon to our county, next wear for
state road work.
This wear we received 1920. and
had $1,000 for the year before. giving
US $1,000 from the State Road Fund
to use this year and even this figure
should be increased. as no doubt it
will be when the appropriations are
made.
We built nearly eight miles of road
this year in Marshall Co.. and partly
constructed five more.
These roads are twenty feet on
TOP. and the bitches are constructed
so as to drain the water off the road
wav and adjoining PROPERTY.

The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1909-02-05

To dignity the question of Jewish
immigration by the term problem is
incorrect, for this country could,
without the least violence to itself,
assimilate the worlds Jewish popula-
ton and then have room for three
times that number, exclusive of the
regular quota of other foreign set
tiers. With all the recent immigra-
ton consequent upon the brutal per-
secution in Russia and Roumania, to-
gether with the native-born children
Of the voluntary immigrants of nor
NAL times, the United States of
America has no more than 1,500,0 900
Jewish residents. The Galveston
movement, then, is not the outcome
of a problem, but a question of eX-
pediency brought about by special
conditions. To divert Jewish immi-
grafton from the Northern ports, no.
tably New York, where there are
about 100000 Israelites, an interested

In direct railroad communication

scarcity of labor IN the South and

the able-bodied could be maintined

thereby serving two purposes: his
own maintenance and the crying need
of American industries. The present
was all-important-the future would
take care of itself For just as soon
as man would save sufficient from
the work of his hands to bring his
family or his friends to his side, he
would do so, and this committee
knew by experience. A thousand
immigrants the first of the year
meant 5000 a few years later. The
un-uttered prophecy has been veri-
flied, for although our first group of
immigrants arrived on July 1, 1907,
and subsequent groups at three
weeks interval, family, relatives and
friends have already joined the pio-
neers; the travelling expenses having

success as long as the powers that

and apart from such financial crisis
with it's consequent depression, as

formly appreciated.

IMPROVED TONE
 IN STOCK MARKET Activity Comes In spurt8 and
 Is Not Substantial BETTER TARIFF OUTLOOK Buying of Stocks Is Principally On
Buying of Stocks Is Principally On Covering By the Bear Element
 and on More Hopeful View of Balkan Trouble.

New York, March 16.-The improved tone of the stock market today did not mean that there was any substan- tial widening in the dimensions of the market. Such activity as there was came in occasional spurts and it was largely confined to few stocks. favorable view was taken of the course of events at Washington as giV- ing promise to removal of obstacles m the way of the progress of the tariff revision. such as the threatened con- troyersv over the rules might have been. The financial element regards expedition in the work of fixing the new tariff schedules as desirable above everything else. The buying of stocks on this account was partly from the uncovered bear element, which has looked for bad effect from the hrst publication of the terms of the tar1n bill Buying here of stocks for for- eign account was in the nature Of bear covering also, the repurchases be- ing prompted by more cheerful view of the Balkan situation. United States Steel was quite conspicuous in the light of buying stocks, that issue having been a favorite medium for specula- tion.
 The report from Pittsburg of the re- sumption of dividends on Crucible Steel preferred after an interval Of suspension, dating back over a year had some sentimental effect on the steel industrials. Reports of additional companies in the trade cutting wages were not a detriment to the stock. Amalgamated Copper shared quite fully in the strength of the United States Steel and was not hurt apparently by another reduction in copper prices here and in London. Price reductions, both in copper and steel must bring the level ultimately to a point where GUS toners will abandon their abstentation and begin to buy. Lately there Is growing up disposition to look upon successive price cuts as steps toward this end.
 The February foreign trade state ment was a remarkable one, both by reason of the heavy shrinkage in value of exports and of the increase in imports, reaching STATEHOOD in the former case and $33. .Ss5, 900 in the lat ter. compared with the year before. Over $3O,00O,000 of the decline in eX- ports is in agricultural exports, due to the check of the high prices pre- vailing to the foreign demand. or the growth of imports there can be no doubt of it's significance as showing

WHEAT PRICES ARE SOMEWHAT LOWER European War Scare Has Bad
 Effect Upon Market DEMAND IS VERY SLACK Corn Is Firm Early In the Day, But Weakens and Closes at Low Point.
 Oats Close Weak and Pro-
 visions Steady.
DEMAND IS VERY SLACK

Chicago, March 16-A liberal in- crease in the worlds visible supply of wheat had a depressing effect today on the market for that grain here, prices at the close showing net losses for the day of B O. 7sc. Corn and oats closed weak and provisions steady.
 A mild war scare imparted consid- erable strength to the wheat market during the early part of the day, shorts being somewhat concerned over renewed talk of a possible conflict between Austria and Servia. Although demand was not extremely urgent there was sufficient to force prices up A @5sc on initial transactions. As the session progressed, however, the bears, in the absence of any fresh news of a bullish nature, became m re aggres- sive and weak tone developed. An extremely slack demand for the cash grain at the principal grain centers of this country had bearish influence but the chief factor of late trading was the showing of Bradstreets re- port on the worlds visible supply total available stocks being estimated at 3,0SS,00O bushels compared with a decrease Of fS3,OOO the correspodlnB time year ago. The market became decidedly weak late in the session. May declining to $1.15A after touch ing $1.167s at the opening. Final quo tations on May were $1.15 3s @1.15 1a . July closed at $1.O4 after ranging be- tween $1.03M and $1.05b @ 1.05A.
 Corn was firm early in the day, ow- ing to buying by shorts based mainly on the strength of wheat, but weak ened toward the middle of the session, and continued heavy the balance of the day. The market closed at almost the lowest point with prices off 3sc to F O 1ac compared with the previous close. Final quotations on May were CTS @67Ac and on July. 67@671sc.
 Oats declined with wheat and corn. closing prices being at the lowest point of the day. May sold between 54 ss c and 55Q55bc and closed at 54ssc.
 Provisions were firm nearly all day owing to buying by outside packers Decreased receipts of live hogs had a bullish effect At the close prices were unchanged to Dc higher.
