MANY FAVOR
SUNDAY CLOSING
Delegation Visits Business
Interests
In order to Learn Their Senti-
ments Regarding Sun
day Closing.

A delegation composed of
Rev. Chr. Christensen, pastor
of the Norwegian Lutheran
church; Rev. H. L. Goodrich,
pastor of the Methodist church,
Rev. O. w. Smith, pastor of the
Congregational church and Rev.
A. Road. pastor of the Swedish
Lutheran church, visited the
business interests of the city
during the past week in regard
to the matter of closing their
respective places of business on
Sunday and the report handed
in by the visiting delegation was
to the effect that the sentiment
for Sunday closing of stores was
almost unanimous. Among the
lines of business visited were
grocery stores, butcher shops,
dry goods and clothing stores.
Only two proprietors of stores
were infavor Of keeping their
places of business open on Sum
pay and one of these stated that
if other places were closed he
would be willing to close his
place.
The object of the visiting
delegation is to get the business
men of the city to close their
places on Sunday voluntarily and
from the favorable report it
would seem that a good many
are favorable to this plan.
The delegation may set some
date in the near future at which
the plan will be carried out and
all business men of the city will
be notified in advance.
AS we understand it is not
proposed to ask confectionery
stores and drug stores to
close on the Sabbath at the
present.

The railway aid bonds were
issued to help construct what is
now known las the Northern
Pacific branch line between this
city and Iron River. This was
formerly the Washburn and Iron
River railway with which the
older residents of the county are

glad to hear that the old issue

thing to be paid in the way of
bonds is the refunding bonds
amounting to $500 which were
issued during the past two weeks.
