Discusses Pictures
The address on the Indian portraits,
which was to have been made by T.
B. Walker, was made by Mr.. Adams,
superintendent of the Walker gallery,
Mr.. Walker having been prevented
from attending. Mr.. Adams gave a
short description of the immense col
lection of pictures, potteries, etc.,
which Mr.. Walker has acquired and
extended a cordial invitation to all
to visit the galleries at their pleas
ure. He also told something of the
life and work of Mr.. Cross, the ar
fist who painted most of the wonder
full paintings shown, and who is still
working on pictures of Indian life.
S. G. Iverson Speaks
H. A. Baldwin, as master of cere-
monies, then introduced S. G. Iver-
son, State Auditor, who talked elo-
quently of the romance of the pio-
neer days, the chivalry and courage
developed by the conditions on the
frontier. Mr.. Iverson reminded his
listeners that in the early days men
and women shared equally in hard
ship, work and achievement, and
spoke feelingly in memory of the
pioneer wife and mother.
| Mr.. Iverson stated that while con-
ditions have changed, human nature
has not changed and is confronted
by as serious problems today as ever
existed in the past, and proved that
one of the serious evils of the pres
ent is the concentration of humanity
in the large cities of the country,
making his listeners realize that the
work of the present generation is
to care for future generations
Rain Prevents Pageant
The second presentation of the His
toric Pageant, which was to have
been presented at Ramsey Park, was
not given because of rain. The first
presentation which was somewhat III
the nature of a rehearsal and was
not complete in some details. How
ever the stage settings and the In
dians, settlers and other characters
were most picturesque, and the spec
tacley was greatly enjoyed By
those who saw it. It is prob
ably the pageant will be presented
again when climatic conditions are
more favorable as many people are
greatly disappointed at not having
