Manager, Still in Use.

A representative of the Independent

that these will be transferred to Mi

FATHER JOSEPH RAITH'S
FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY
Popular Priest Has Been in Charge of
the Work at St. LeO's Catholic
Church Long Period.

Father Jos. Raith took charge of the
work in St. Leo's parish fifteen years
ago last Sunday and if the members
may have their wishes fulfilled, he will
be with them that many years longer.
The Father was one of the speakers
at the Daughters of Isabella banquet
last Sunday evening and in his modest
way he reviewed his work during the
past years. When he came to Minot,
he found a small church and small,
scattered congregation. Services were
conducted in the old church for several
years until it was no longer adequate,
when it was torn down and the present
magnificent edifice constructed. St.
Leo's church has become one Of the
largest in the state. Father Raith
feels the need of parochial school,
for the work has become so great that
he can hardly carry it on longer alone.
The Daughters Of Isabella are expect
ed to start the ball rolling for fund,
which is to be the nucleus of this
school.

Minneapolis Concern With Large
Holdings in Illinois to Enter the
Mining Field in North Dakota.

Mining Field in North Dakota.
The Dominion Coal Co., of Minneap-
oils, one of the largest mining con-
Germs in the northwest, has purchased
the holdings of the Mcclure Coal Co.
at Tasker and the old Leydecker prop
erty near Burlington, which has lain
dormant for years, and will at once
begin sinking a new shaft at Tasker
and later in the season will open up
the Lydecker mine. This entrance Of
eastern mining companies in the lig-
mite field has been in process of con-
summation for some time. A repre-.
sentative of the Dominion Co. visited
this field last fall and the delay in
bringing the deal to close sooner was
caused by the owners Of the Leydecker
property failing to give clear title
to the property. ]. P. Wallace, son of
Judge Wallace of Burlington, will be
general manager, with headquarters
at Tasker. He assumes the manage
ment today, having recently resigned
his position with the c. A. Bugge Co.
at Burlington. The Dominion Coal Co.
have large holdings in Illinois, one of
their mines in that state has capac-
ity Of 10000 tons per day. The en-
trance of large eastern corporations in
the Ignite industry Of this section will
mark a new era in the development
of the mines which line the Des Laos
valley, making this field supreme in
the control of the markets of the
northern section of the state.

Was Warmly
AppIauded.

Community music is comparative
ly new feature in Keokuk, but one
that is destined to be popular and
successful, if the concert given last
evening at the tabernacle is cri-
terion. 1t was demonstrated that the
big shed could be filled for other
than lecture and religious purposes,
for the throng that gathered last
night for the concert filled the place
with the exception of the extreme
end rows on both sides and a few sec
| lions of seats in the rear. 1t is esti-
mated that counting performers and
| audience both, there were in the
neighborhood of fifteen hundred per-
sons present
The program presented by the high
school orchestra under the leadership
OF Prof. P. c. Hayden; the community
| band under J. G. Hedrick, and the
huge high school chorus, was varied
and Interesting one. Music lovers of
the city were treated to two hours
and half of real community music
and apparently they were prepared to
listen to another hour of it, if needs
| be. The program as it was, however,
was so long that it was necessary to
refuse all encores and delete several
| numbers.
