the success that these big national
biennial tests have always proved to
be, and realizing this fact, the Nor
roma organization. consisting OF sing
ers Of both Fargo and Moorhead. have
decided to give a public concert in the
near future.
The Norrona Male Chorus il one of
the oldest organizations Of its kind in
the Red river valley, being organized
in 1885. The organization has gone
through many trials and fluctuations
well known to those who have gone
through the mill. But the fact that
Norrona still lives and breathes and
grows every hour is proof conclusive
that it's members have always been
imbned with the right kind of spirit
and love for the genuine good and true
Norwegian music. Not only has the
organization lived these long years,
but particularly during the last two
years, large number Of singers OF
talent have also joined the forces so
that now the Norrona numbers about
thirty-fi good voices, meeting regu-
larry at least once per week, under the
direction Of Prof. @, I. .Hertsgaard Of
the department Of music of Concordia
college.
Last spring the organization was at
the Red River Valley Saengerfest held
in Thief River Falls, Mimi, where
they acquitted themselves in high hon
ors, and also before and after this
this event these singers have appeared
in public and each time have done
themselves great credit. On the even
ing of Oct. 81 they will be heard in a
few informal songs at the reception In
connection with the installation exer-
cices at Concordia college But this
is only preliminary to their big public
concert which will be given ait the
same place at near future date.

true at Bering river the Controller bay
field. The Matanuska coal should be
brought to Seward for the use of our
naval coaling station and a mine for
that purpose can be well opened BY
the government on the Matanuska,
where II can be made TO serve as an
example for private mines, TO furnish
information and to serve as a chaclG
upon the profits Of the losses under
government lease. The secretary or
the navy authorizes me to state that
he believes there should be reserved
sufficient Of high grade Alaska coal
suitable for the use of the navy to be
mined hereafter for this expressed
purpose under the bureau Of mines"
Explaining in detail his plan for
leasing Alaskan coal properties the
secretary said the prime requisites OF
leading system are that only suf-
ficient lands should be leased to meet
the existing market and encourage de-
veiopment; that the quantity leased to
any one lessee should be limited to
the amount that can be probably
mined and that the losses shall pay
his royalty as ne mines his coal,
minimum being fixed to prevent hold
ing without production.

said in favor of the government en-
tering experimentally into those fields,
he did not believe in the policy of hav-
ing the government alone own and
mine Alaskan coal.
The secretary expressed opposition
to the policy of selling coal land out
right, saying he believed that the
leasing system avoids the controversy
Of both extremes Of public and private
ownership. Therefore, he suggested
government ownership and operation
Of a limited number of proportions as
an example to private owners and to
regulate the latter by competition and
the leasing OF other fields under fair
government regulation.
Secretary Fisher, In opening his adj
dress said that he spoke officially with
the consent Of the president and that
while he had had no opportunity to
submit what he had prepared, that
the general Alaskan policy outlined in
the address had been discussed with
the president, met with his approval
and would receive his support

Madame Powell touches on an Inn
portant point In intimating that the
magnetism to which so many music
ians owe much OF their success Is q
human rather than a purely artistic
quality. Think OF Paganini, List
Paderewslxi, for example. The world
wants a musician to be different from
others, to have individuality, person
ality; and this must show itself in
personal thuman) ways as well as In
unique readings of compositions.
Madame Powell win appear in FAR

that Director Holmes of the bureau Of
mines had examined the mines. He
expressed his high opinion of the peo-
pie who have become permanent resi-
dents of Alaska, saying that there is
a substantial percentage of vigorous,
law abiding, law respecting men and
women of the highest type of American
citizenship.
These people, the secretary said, are
entitled TO a territorial government
better adapted to their peculiar local
conditions and needs"
Mr.. Fisher dwelt at length upon the
much discussed controversy over Con-
troller bay. He said that to develop
the site secured by FL. 8. Ryan and his
associates 1t would be necessary to
construct piers or roadways for "a
distance Of two or three miles over
shallow flats to a channel He thought
the operation OF Ryan and his asso-
ciates should not be interfered with,
because OF all the rest OF the shore
along Controller bay remains free from
entry, thus disposing OF the claim that
a railroad monopoly has acquired the
bays frontage and whatever may be
the merits or dement's of the harbor
IL has passed out of control OF the
government Moreover. he said, If the
Ryan railroad should be built and the
government desired Its acquisition, the
opportunity for the government to
build a competitive road should be eff
fective In preventing an exorbitant
price.
my visit TO Alaska said the secre-
tary, has led me to take far great
err interest in the future Of the Ma
tanuska coal field, which is larger In
extent, having an area Of seventy -four
square miles, better in coal. better in
