learned of the whereabouts of his
brother, w. B. Olson, a prominent
Seattle contractor whom he had not
heard from in thirty years. Seeing
picture and Write-up Of his brother

was surprised to learn that the cen
tractor who now has charge of the
Pacific Jurisdiction Of the Sons of
Norway, was none other than his
brother, who left mis- home in little
town in Minnesota thirty years ago,
and went west to seek his fortune.
During all those years, the brothers
never correspondent, in fact 0. P.
Olson soCn left Minnesota and locat-
ed elsewhere, and in that way they
became separated. The brothers
have been trying in vain to locate
each other for many years. Mr.. o.
son lost no time in writing to his

HAS HARD TRIP
Big Machine ir Advance of Mime
apoIis Auto Club, Finds Muddy
Roads Clear Across the State-Met
by Minot Car at Rugby.


The Pathfinder, which is going
over the route between Minneapolis
and Helena, Mont, which is paving
the way for the big auto tour which
the Minnesota Auto club will take in
July, arrived in Minot Tuesday eve
ming after a rather muddy trip across
the state The pathfinder was met at
Rugby by A. c. Hanson, with his Lex
ington racer, and H. c. Ellis and dir.
ected to Minot.
The Pathfinder carried five men,
two being newspaper correspondents,
and when the party arrived they were
besmeared with mud, but very happy.
The Pathfinder is a big Halliday
forty horse power touring car. 1t has
bedecked with gaudy signs.
At Fargo, this sign was placed IN
the rim of hind tire: Fargo is the
biggest little city in the world"
At Grand Forks, some enterprising
citizen placed this on the radiator:
Grand Forks always in the Lead"
and at Devils Lake, some admirer of
that city, presumably Heine Mitchell,
placed on the wind shield the very
appropriate little fabrication: Devils
Lake always on top"
There was no space left for Minot.

SOCIALISTS TO
Start PAPER
leSueur and Others Interested in
Project-WiII Capitalize for $4,000

The Socialists are making plans
to start a Socialist paper in Mlnot
soon. Stock is now being subscribed
Arthur LeSueur informs us that a
soon as $4,000 worth of stock is sold
the plant will be bought and the paper
started. Those behind the movement;
say they will capitalize the company
for $4,000. The paper will be pub
lished weekly in the beginning, but
will probably be changed to a daily
within short time. 7
The 'Minot Socialists are rather az
gressive and say that something will
be doing when their paper once gets
going. They expect to make The
paper state wide, and in that event
will be able to work up quite a sub
scription list.
LeSueur will probably be one of the
staff.
