Forks, N. D. will give a lecture
at the Norwegian Methodist
Church in Washburn Thursday
March 18th at o'clock in the
evening.
That Rev. Hargan is a good
speaker is warranted by the
fact that he was pastor of the
largest and most prominent
church in the Norwegian Danish
Conference of the M. b. Church
before he was appointed last
fall to the Office of District
Superintendent of Red River
Valley District.
He will lecture on "Savonarola
the Reformer of ITALY," which
subject will be of special interest
when treated by man of such
broad education as Rev. Hangar.
All Scandinavians ought to
make use of this opportunity to
hear him.

Robert Logan. Some years ago Mr..
Logan did considerable work on the
ground sinking a shaft about 80 feet

men refused to work any more, be-
cause the bottom sounded as though
they were at the top of great cham

The present owners have been
cleaning out this old shaft, and at
the bottom have uncovered a ledge
which is about IS feet wide, Of
quartz, in which is a streak of lead
