HISTORY OF THE
PARISH.

The history of the Assumption
church at Morris, Minnesota, is large
ly the history of the development of
this section of the state of Minnesota.
Mass was celebrated in Morris for the
first time in the year 1870. Divine
services were held in a railroad Sec
ton house by Fathers Hurley and Nc
Dermott, who occasionally visited
Morris as an outlying mission, from
St. Paul. The few scattered families
of Morris and surrounding country
were thus ministered to until 1876,
when certain Father Walsh came to
Morris as the first resident priest. His
parish embraced the territory which
now comprises the counties of Stew
ems, Pope, Traverse, Wilkin, Big
Stone, and Swift.
Father Walsh was succeeded in 1877
by the Rev. Charles Wensieki. The
original first Assumption church was
built during his pastorate in 1877 on
a corner lot donated for the purpose
by the railroad company. Rev. A. V.
Pellison succeeded Father Wensieki in
1879, and in November 1880 Father F.
w. Watry became pastor. Father
Watry built the original parish house
and also established a school. His
successor was the Rev. William

GEIB-CARL LUMBER co.

"Home of Quality LUMBER is the
manner in which the business slogan
reads, and it sounds mighty good, at
that. 1t means just what it says, and
that is, that the Geib-Carl Lumber
Company does handle quality material
and quality material only. Six years
have gone by since the start of this
business, and Mr.. J. J. Geib, president
and general manager, and Mr.. M. S.
Carl, secretary and treasurer, have
been right in the thick of the fray,
pushing the business and letting peo-
pie know where this kind of lumber can
be obtained Suffice to say that a lot of
them do know by this time. There is
a wide range to the supply, too, for
lumber for all purposes, millwork,
fencing, farm gates, posts, poles, hay
carriers and letter carriers, together
with the accessory lines of lime, ce-
ment, plaster, brick and stone are here
retai1ed. And so is coal and builders

While not of the age in service found
in some of the other banks in Morris,
still this bank is commencing to COM
pete with them all. The individual
deposits are the strong point, and the
building up of this feature of the busi-
ness is the one that ultimately counts
the most. The other functions of ex-
change, farm loans, insurance and the
like come in for their share.

until 1886. In October, 1886, the late
Rev. George Gaskell took charge of
the parish Father Gaskell was pas
tor for fourteen years, and died in No.
vember, 1900, beloved by all who
knew him. He was eminently sue
cessful and governed the parish firm
ly but wisely and we'll, and to this day
his name is held in benediction by the
people of Norris In 1892 fine large
brick-veneered church was built under
his direction at cost Of $l2,OOO.OO,
and was dedicated by the late Arch
bishop Zardette, then bishop. of St.
Cloud. After the death of Father
Gaskel1, the late Rev. G. J. Goebel,
became pastor, and was succeeded in
March, 1905, by the present pastor,
Rev. Edward Jones, under whose ad-
ministration the parish has become
possessed of one of the finest pieces
of church property in the Northwest.
In July, 1905, the church built by
Father Gaske1l was totally destroyed
by fire. Arrangements were made at
once for the erection of new church
edifce, and the services of Clarence
Johnson of St. Paul as architect OBJ
tanned. The new church was complet-
ed in 1906 and cost approximately
$4,000. It has seating capacity of
seven hundred fifty in the main audi
torium, besides large choir gallery.
The style of architecture in the exte-
rior is what is called Old English
Church design, and its massive pro-
portions at once attract attention.
The interior of the church is pure Ro-
man style, with rounded arches and
stately pilasters The color scheme
effects a subdued religious light, and
beautifully harmonizes with stained
glass, emb1ematic windows, donated
by the parishioners.
The dedication ceremonies of the
new church took place on October
27, 1907, and were performed by the

TIC .Slly VI MOl ID Is CSSclllldlly
"school town." Not only has it an ex-
cellent public school system, but it
also has fine parochial school, and
is the home of the West Central
School of Agriculture, which is a
branch of the State University. Be-
fore, however, commenting further up
on her schools let us say few words
about this city as a commercial and
"home" town.
The city of Morris, the county seat
of Stevens County, is located forty
miles north, and one hundred and six
miles west of Minneapolis, in the
heart of one of Minnesota's richest
agricultural districts. 1t has a popu-
lation of $500 people. Excellent rail-
road facilities, being located on main
line of Great Northern, with branch
running west to State line, and
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming east to Little Falls, and there
connecting with the main line to Twin
Cities and Duluth. 1t has an unusual
number of progressive and upto-date
mercantile establishments; large flour
mill; local creamery, three banks,
with total deposits we'll up towards the
million mark; owns it own water
works and sewer system; electricity
furnished by Ottertail Power COM
pany; and excellent telephone service,
with numerous connecting rural lines.
In considering Morris as ''home"
town, we must first speak of her ho-
tells, which are the homes of the trav-
eler. Most cities of her size would
be glad to boast one first class hotel,
but Morris has three. These insti-
tutions are the delight of the travel
ing public; they are strictly up to date,
and the proprietors spare no efforts to
please their guests.
But, after all, city is made up of
the people who live there, and we can
best gauge the people by the homes in
which they live. Thus gagged, Morris
must have quite an ideal population,
for few places in its class can boast
of more beautiful and pleasant homes.
From the most pretentious dwellings
of pleasing architecture, to the hum
BILE cottage, we find an air of pros
perity and contentment. Lawns are
beautifully kept, shade and fruit trees
are growing on boulevards and in
yards; and flowers and hedges be-
speak love of the beautiful
But we must say something more
about her schools. AS said at the
beginning, Morris is school town.
She is just completing beautiful pub
lie school building, at a cost of over
$4,000. This is fre-proof structure,
of pleasing architectural lines, and
contains the '1ast word" in modern
school equipment. In addition to the
regular high school work, four de-
partments are maintained, viz:
Teachers Normal Training, Domes-
tic Science, Manual Training, and
Commercial. Special instructors are
engaged for these special departments.
The Catholic parochial school is
housed in a beautiful building, just
completed at cost of nearly $50,00O.

Writes Important Report.

Prof. w. S. Bailey of the University
of Illinois, has written report on
2O5 square miles in the heart of the
New Jersey highlands, which in
cludes one of the most important
iron ore producing districts in the
eastern United States. In this re-
port, which was published by the
United States geological survey, the
two conclusions of most significance
relate to the origin of the ore and
the origin of the rocks that constitute
the hills of the highlands. Formerly
both ore and rocks were regarded as
sedimentary. Proof is now given
that the rocks of the highlands are
of igneous origin, and that they
were forced into a preeXisting series
of sedimentary rocks that are among
the oldest in North America. The
iron ores are shown to be intimately
related to the igneous rocks, and,
therefore, like them, to be igneous
also. A direct inference from this
conclusion is that the ores are not
limited in depth.

Pianos of standard size have a

ENGLISH STEAMERS SUNK.

ENGLISH STEAMERS SUNK.
Buenos Aires, Argentine, Feb. IT.
1t is reported from credible sources
that the German steamer Holger was
sighted yesterday heading for Buenos
Aires and having on board the crews
of several English steamers sent to
the bottom by some German warship,
probably off the coast of Brazil.
The Holger, for some time, has
been identified with German activi-
ties in the South Atlantic. She left
Pernambuco secretly early in Janu-
airy, presumably with supplies for
German warships. The Brazilian
government punished the port Off
Gals whose negligence made this
breach of neutrality possible.
