Relative to the opening for settle

custom Of the Government in such
cases, and all persons who desire to
secure chance in this lottery will
be obliged to register, according to
the method prescribed by the Depart
ment of the Interior.
3. Plaza, North Dakota, which
has been designated as registration
point is located on the 500 Line, just
a mile and half from the Reserva-
ton, so that persons coming here to
register will have an opportunity to
inspect this last great tract Of pub
lie land with little expense.
f., Plaza is the only point Of reg
istration from which this Reservation
may be seen without long distance
of travel, and ample facilities are
being provided by the city for the

1.-The necessity tor having a house
Of worship weighing upon the little
congregation, a meeting was called
September 8, 1872, to consider the
question. It was there resolved to
build schoolhouse that could also
be used as a church. The building
was erected that year, and was dedi-
Gated by Rev. Vetter on Whitmon-
day, 1873. The little frame building
stands today on the same spot where
it was built thirty-two years ago,
and is still used for the parochial
school. No other congregation Of any
faith in this county has so steadily
and effectively kept up parochial
school work.
"Some months after the dedication
Of the building the congregation sent
call to the Lutheran Theological
Seminary Of St. Louis for a gradu-
ate to come and take charge Of the
congregation. Rev. c.. Kollmorgen
accepted the call, and for seventeen
years worked faithfully in the
charge. Much Of the credit for the
remarkable development of thu
church must be given to this faith
full worker. He is now located at
Maier, MINI.
"After Rev. Kollmorgen had tax
en- charge Of the parish small
dwelling was built for him by the
congregation. This building is now
a part Of the parsonage opposite the
church.. ..,..
"Rev. Kollmorgen was succeeded
by Rev. H. Biederman who was in.
stalled on the first Sunday in Ad-
vent, 1890, and served for eight
years. The congregation had by this
time outgrown the humble church
building, and new church, large en-.
ough to accommodate the congrega.
ton, was erected on the crest of 8
hill near the schoolhouse. It is fin,

was opened for worship on Sunday
September 20, 1891. A pipe organ
was put in the same year, the first

The St. Johns German Lutheran
Church Of Harrison celebrated the
fortieth anniversary Of it's organiza-
ton last Sunday with appropriate
services morning and evening. The
church, which has a seating capacity
Of $50, was completely filled with
interested and attentive listeners.
Prof. John Herzer Of the >Theologi-
cal Seminary at Springfield, Ill.,,
who forty years ago was present at
the organization meeting, made the
anniversary sermon in the morning,
and a very able one it was. He
remembered the events of those ear
| ly days with remarkable accuracy
and mentioned by name all the orig
inal organizers of the church.
There were but seven Of the char
ter members present to participate
in the celebration. They we're Frank
licensing, Carl Honebring, Joseph
Mohn, Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Feig,
Mrs. William Maier and Mrs. Hen
nv Heining.
The afternoon exercises included
addresses by Rev. F. W. Erthal and
Rec. C. Kollmorgen, two former pas
tors the church, and Rev. Fred Yves
terkamp Of Springfield, Mimi. Rev.
Beiderman, the former pastor, has
Ipassed on beyond the dark river
since leaving this passionate.
The pipe organ was played for this
Occasion by Fred Rathert, son of the
present pastor. While only twelve
years old this boy is an expert on
the organ.

un-Americanism we advocate, but a
more efficient school system rooted
in the home life. How does it speak
for our school when children are un-
able to speak with or write to their
grand parents7 The highest compi-
ment we can pay people or q par
emit is to learn their language.
A Two-Lanquage Standard.
Our immigrant farmers from Eu-
rope speak two languages and at in
ternational conventions Americans
can take no active part unless in
English. The difference is caused
by our school system, which is based
on one language, while the three
language standard rules in Europe.
Europe sends us people Of all lang
uages and there we have the reputa-
ton Of being the country Of all lang
uages Of the world, but in interna-
tional conventions the world is sur
prised to discover we can converse in
only one language and hence they
call us The Under-language Ameri-
cans" If our elementary schools
we're raised to a two-language stan
dard they would soon, we believe,
reach the three language standard
Of Europe, for Americans can do
things if they want to and when they
see it pays. AS yet they have not
been convinced that it pays to learn
the languages Of their competitors.
The problem will be easily solved, as
we have intimated, by teaching in
every settlement the language Of the
farmers who pay the most school
taxes in the district, and when teach
ers and the authorities are as inter
ested in introducing at least one
language in the school as thew are in
introducing things far less helpful
to the scholars future career. The
only trouble is the lack of popular
education Of public sentiment on this
subject. The IMMIGRANT farmers are
the ones who can and will we hope
do the work. Last year good pro-.
gress was made, what will be done
next year depends upon how the year
is started next month. Many farm
ers speak two languages. while the
educated people adhere to the one
Language standard. What will be
the standard Of the future7 Let
the farmers answer.
