GROWTH OF CUsTAvUs ADOL-
PLUS COLLEGE.

PLUS COLLEGE.
What might have been termed pro-
gram OF thanksgiving was carried out in
the auditorium of Gustavus Adolphus
College at St. Peter last Wednesday
afternoon. In the morning Rev. Oscar
j.. johnson was inaugutated president Of
the institution, and in the afternoon
formal announcement was made of the
completion of the schools endowment
fund Of $25O,OOO.
The status Of the fund was made
public by Professor A. A. Stomberg.
president Of the college board. He
announced that the institution has
collected $262,590 in cash, has $7,4lO
in bankable notes, and holds 81 900 in
pledges which are still outstanding.
Rev. Carl Solomonson, financial secre-
tary Of the college, sketched the history
of the endowment fund and threw a
number of interesting sidelights upon
the work done by the corps of some
twenty solicitors. The fund was started
ten years ago by Rev. L. G. Almen, but
received its greatest impetus in the spring
OF 1912, when James j. Hill and C. A.
Smith agreed to subscribe $50, 100
apiece, provided the college would
raise 100000.
On Dec. l, 1912, when Mr.. Solomon
son was placed in charge OF the work,
the fund contained $1,000. The task
given him was to collect $17O,O 900 before
May LIST of the present year. Solicitors
were sent into the field early last summer,
and by Sept. LIST they had raised $40, 900.
That work might be carried on steadily
all the members of the faculty volun-
teered to take extra hours of teaching,
thus relieving the president, three pro-
fessors and one assistant professor. They
worked every effectively and by Jan. l,
1914, total of $7S, 1000, in addition to
the original amount in the fund, had
been subscribed. Thereafter progress
was slower, but by persistent efforts
additional contributions we're received
until the fund has reached the sum of
over $26O,OOO.
Before a crowd that filled the audi
forum to its capacity and with cere-
monies that were most impressive, Rev.
Oscar j. Johnson was inauguarated as
the sixth president of Gustavus Adolphus
college at st. Peter last Wednesday
morning. Fully a score of the most
prominent educators in the Northwest,
among them three former presidents of
the institution, were present at the in
stallation, the event being one that was
of interest alike to the college world and
to the public at large. When the pro-
gram opened practically every seat in the
big auditorium was taken, and President
johnson may take pardonable pride in
the ovation that was accorded him.
Professor A. A. Stomberg of Mime
apolis, president of the college board
presided at the exercises and after a
hymn of praise by the audience DR.. E.
Norelius of Vasa, the founder Of Gustavus
Adolphus, read the opening prayer. A
selection by the Schumann Ladies chorus
followed, and then President johnson
was indicted into Office by his predeces-
sor, DR.. P. A. Mattson of Cannon Falls
now president of the Minnesota con.
ference.

GRAYSON, UTAH TO DATE.

The first family to settle in Gray
son arrived here in April, 1905. There
was then no house nor fence to re-
lieve the monotonous stretch of sage
brush on the south, and cedars on the
north.
We have now population of about
500, with many good homes of brick
frame and stone; the country is well
fenced for miles to the north and the
south, and much of it is under cult
walton. Our new school building is
erected according to the latest plans
and specifications of our state school
architects; but to accommodate our
ITS school children, we have to use
the church building as well as the
school house.
Our old ditch, six feet wide in the
bottom, has furnished all water for
irrigation so far; but a new ditch
ten feet wide in the bottom, is being
opened by an army of determine,
men, and We expect to bring through
lie a rousing stream in the spring
The new ditch is not to take the place
of, nor the water from the old, but
both bitches are to carry their full
capacity.
A good sized crew is to continu,
work on the road for months ant
months to come, and though oul
county highway is better now thar
ever before, it is to be better still!
The states part of this appropriation
is being handled by W. II. Redd.

meets with the markets of the world;
the demand for the new railroad.
After studying the tonnage to be
moved the French capitalists were en-
thusiastic over the road, and this ton
mage matter is what cinched the
placing of the bonds in France.
In the beginning the Frenchmen
who are furnishing the money to con-
struct the road found that the Uni
ted States government report gave IL
that there were 131 ,OO0,000,00O tons
of coal beds between Pennington and
Albuquerque. Also there were thou
sands of acres of timber between AL
buquerque and Pennington. This
alone would make healthy tonnage
for new road. Then besides there
is the Jemez coal fields fifty miles
west of Albuquerque, and also the
Hagan coal fields east of Albuquer-
que, and approximately 100 miles
from Roswell. Besides these natural
resources the new road opens up
rich stock and mining section in many
different lines besides the creation Of
new markets for the agricultural pro-
ducts. Let this road connect up the
three great valleys of the state with
all those resources and then the ex-
tension of the road southeast of Ros-
well to roads connecting with the
gulf country, and the cold facts are
enormous, and shows the business
reasons for the road.
The Frenchmen seem to have
grasped a point that is not locally
recognized. 1t is that the gulf is GO
ing to be a great coal market when
the Panama canal opens.
With the great virgin coal fields to
supply that market center, and that
practically all Of the products raised
in the three great New Mexico val
leys. gives another good business rea-
son for the proposed road.
1t means much to Roswell, opening
| up markets for her products. Lower
rates and throwing the products inso
the market centers twenty-four hours
ahead of the present arrangement.
| 1t means the doubling of the popu-
lation Of the valley metropolis in
three years after the engineers get
into the fields. II means pay rolls,
cheaper fuel, more enterprises. Steady
real estate market. It means Ros-
well will take her place as leading
city of the great southwest.

CENSORS TAKE NOTICE.

TURIN, Italy, Jan. 24.-The local
chief of police, who is also the Anth-
ony Comstock of the city, has just
solved the problem of censuring an
over-done French play without pro
hibiting it entirely. The drama in
question was MRS President" Where
the lines were considered offensive
to the public decency, the chief sup
pressed them entirely, but where the
lines were satisfactory and only the
dramatic action was too much, the
chief allowed the actors to recite then
parts but with the stage darkened SO
that the audience could not see what
accompanied the lines.

NO MORE CHURCH CONTESTS.

On last Sunday Rev. Father Gala
nan announced to his parishioners
that all church contests would be dis
continued in future. While these con-
tests in the past were necessary for
the support of the Catholic schools
which save to the taxpayers of Du-
range $4,000 year, not to mention
the cost of an extra school building.
He stated that new arrangement
was made by which the schools would
be supported from direct contribu-
tions of the parishioners. The annual
bazaar will still be continued but the
contest features will be eliminated.
Father Callahan also stated that re-
cent subscriptions from his parish
toner's would considerably reduce the
church debt, and place the parish On
a good self-supporting basis.

THEY SAY THIS Is TRUE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. a.
Nuts and "anti-nuts" is the way
strangers and frequent visitors to the
White house grounds are classified.
The squirrels who live in the trees
that guard the approach to the presi-
dents house have made the classifi-
cation. Here's how the White house
attaches say they know the story is
true:
The squirrels, according to White
house attaches, can spot stranger
the minute one enters the grounds.
They have got to know the small
army of newspaper correspondents
congressman, foreign diplomats and
others who make frequent trips to the
executive offices. They are said to
have been able to make their distinc-
ton because the strangers, having
learned about them, always bring pea
nuts and other goodies" to feed to
them. The frequent visitors, being Oh
business bent, don't have the time to
stop and feed the squirrels, and the
little animals know it. They will per
form all sorts of tricks for the strang-
ers in the hopes of getting nuts and
goodies" such as climbing up their
clothing, or sitting on their launches
and begging for nuts. They pay no
attention to the frequent visitors. AT
least White house employees say so.
