The Griegs Celebrate.

Inc Grleg Sang1OrenlnB CeteoIdUeu
the seventeenth anniversary OF the
organization Of the society in their
hall last week, and the event was
among the most enjoyable OF the
many given by this popular organiza-
ton.
After the evening festivities had
assumed a social condition, Otto
Hervig and other genial entertainers
opened the epicurian program with
an informal luncheon which was
solid and refreshing and during this
pleasant part of the program the
members were entertained with
society notes of past events, and the
interest increased as the hour for
oratory approached.
President @. O. KnudSon was in
his element when it came to oratory
and song and delivered his annual
address with an unusual degree of
pleasure, telling of the joys and
delights furnished through the
medium of fellowship and music, and
spoke of the growth of the society
and deep interest taken in its splen-
did record and standing among the
Singing societies of the northwest.
Other gentlemen were called upon
for remarks and as all the ri egs are
good takers the flow of oratory con-
tinued until the program called for
the annual election with the following
result:
@. O. Knudson, president; G. G.
Lawrence, vice president; Joseph
Chraft, Secretary; Edward Graneng,
treasurer; G.. G. Satrum, correspond
ing secretary: G. S. Hanson, instruct
or; L. M. Jacobson assistant instruct
or.
The society is strong in numbers
and financially in fine condition, and
every member takes special pride in
promoting it's welfare.
Hudson Hudsonite: Claus Keynes
was down from Baltic on Saturday
and again on Wednesday. The store
he and X. E. Jacobson own at Moe is
going to change hands, a Beresford
firm having purchased the stock and
Claus was down attending to business
matters, and also in%cidently visiting
with his many friends, for Claus was
brought up in this part of Lincoln
county and has many friends here.
X. DAZZLE and A. T. F%edderSon,
who have been identified with the
T. L. Torgeson store for some time,
where Mr.. DAZZLE has had charge Of
the dry goods department and Mr..
Fedderson has busted himself in the
grocery department, have formed a
partnership and bought the stock of
goods at the Moe store in Norway
northeast of Beresford. The
new proprietors went out there the
first of the week to take charge of
the business. Mr.. Dahle will move
his family there as soon as the school
is out here, and in the meantime
they will try patching it. They think
they have a good proposition, and if
fair dealing and modern methods will
win, success will be theirs and the
people of the community who patro-
nize the store will reap the benefit.

My but the Journal does get some
awful streaks at times. Last week it
got on a crouch and handed us a nice
juicy lemon because we scooped them
in our weekly on the coming of the
500. line. If that was the only thing we
scooped them on it would not have
worried them SO much we hardly be-
lieve, but we have been getting into
such a habit of scooping them that it
has at last broken out on them. Fact
is that the Inter-Ocean has numerous
items each week that the reportorial
force Of OUT worthy contemporary fails
to nose out, and many of them import
ant ones. This does not set well with
our friend of the Journal who has so
recently advertised how large and ex.
pensive a force he had on his staff.
Don't blame him much though for be-
ing r.lff1ed up a little about 1t. Sup
pose we should let news lays over a
week or SO, SO that they can catch up
but really we hate to do it. E''

DEVILS LAKE BOOMING.

All indications point to the biggest
growth and development within the
next six months that Devils Lake has
ever known. There is activity on
every. hand, and it is difficult to find
enough laborers and mechanics to
meet the demand. ~ - 81:
Real estate is going up very rapidly,
there has never been such a building
boom in the history of the city, and
even with the two large new hotels
that are under process of construction
and the two sremodeled hotels that
have just been opened to the public,
it is the general feeling among those
who are best posted that the accomoda-
tons win be Inadequate within a year
in this line.
With the 500 line coming into De.
Wis Lake it will mean the opening up
OF considerable more territory to
Devils Lake, and will make it without
an exception the best distributing
point for wholesale houses in the state.
This fact has been realized by many
large concerns and 1t Is only natural
to expect that within short space
of time Devils Lake will not be only
a wholesale distributing point but that
we will have several factories.
These things are bound to come. We
have here the facilities for the proper
handling OF these institutions the rail
road connections which are of the
very best, citizenship that is pro-
gressive and wide-awake, and there is
not shadow Of a doubt but that De-
wills Lake will double in. population
within few years, and that that will
only be a starter of what will follow.
With the emigration to the northwest,
the states in this, locality are fast fill
ing up with some of the best citizen
ship of the nation, and there will soon
be some large cities in the Dakotas,
Montana, and other states in this
locality. There Is no city anywhere
that has the advantages to draw thesin.
terests and people that Devils Lake
has. Things are coming our way, and
they are sure to keep coming. III,
