RETURNS EROM The WEST
James A. Norris, Veteran G. N. Employee,
Attended Hill Anniversary Banquet
at Glacier Park

James A. Norris, veteran Great
Northern station agent at Sank Centre
returned Saturday night from the. Hill
banquet which was given in honor of
the 18th birthday of james J. Hill at
Hotel Glacier, Glacier Park, Montana.
This banquet was given by the Vet
Grams Association of Great Northern
employees.
The party, numbering nearly three
hundred, were conveyed from ST. Paul
on special train. In order to be a
member of this Association an en-
ployee must have seen at beast rs
years of continuous service in the
employ of the Great Northern. Mr..
Norris has been in continuous service
for 80 years and is one of the oldest
men in point of service.
The Great Northern met all ex.
penses of the trip and it is needless
to add that everything was of the
best and highest order.
Mir. Hill was presented with a bou-
quet of seyenty-five American Beauty
roses, and general Fluctuations were
exchanged. 49,
Mr.. Norris after the banquet con-
tinued his journey to the Pacific coast,
visiting with old friends at Seattle,
Portland and Spokane, returning Sat
urday night.
Mr.. Norris is the mildest hammered
station agent that ever sold mileage
book, collected storage charges on a
neglected trunk or gathered in ex-
cess baggage for cranky travelling
mans overweight sample cases, but
after viewing the Golden" west and
looking over the fabulous" fruit
regions Of the Pacific coast, he be-
comes indignant when any one sug
gests there is a better country than
right around Sank Centre, and wakes
beligerant when he declares, THAT
Central Minnesota is good enough for
him. He unhesitatingly proclaims
that he is better satisfied with Sank
Centre as place of residence than
ever before in his life.

were ''some pumpkins" when it came
to locating the number of seeds in a
pumpkin were from Minnesota, but
one came from far-off Saskatche,
wan while another hailed from Wor-
cester, Mass. A number were regis
tered from Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,
North and South Dakota, and other
states. Probably no other county
fair held in the state attracted people
from wider range of territory than
the one held in Sank Centre. Every
outside visitor left the fair booster
for this city and section, all of which
should inure to the benefit of the
community in the future.
