away Sunday. Mar. 25.
Rev. Gregersen was we'll known
by many of our citizens, having

He was one of the founders of
the Danish colony at Solvang, at
which place he lived several
years. The cause OF his death
was heart failure, from which he
had been ailing for some time.
Rev. Gregersen was not an old

CUTTING TIES AT

Paul Perkins and his crew re-

IF the week from the camp east

put in the winter getting out
ties. Paul came over with the
horses and he and the men with
him had a real delightful trip
through the snow. The first day
they got about 2 miles and on the
second, about 10. They found
he snow neck deep in lots of
0laces and no trail of any kind
broken out. In the short time
the crew worked they got out in
the neighborhood of 5000 ties
and have work enough left for
another winter. They have the
camp buildings all built now and
next year will be able to go right
to work. Mr.. Perkins plans on
going back shortly to close up

Frederic J. Haskins writes in
the Chicago Daily News about
the Danish West Indies, which
now are American possessions:
"In 1865 Secretary of State Sc
ward offered seven and a half
millions for the Islands; a vote
was taken among the population,
and the people were almost
unanimous for the transfer. The
bill then died in the senate for
eign relations committee.
In 1902 we wasted an oppor-
tunity to buy the islands for $5,-
100000. In 1916 we jumped at
the chance to buy them for $25-
100000.
The price comes to nearly $500
an acre, as against 2 cents an
acre which we paid for Alaska,
q cents for the Philippines and
about S35 for the Canal Zone,
Thus it is seen that colonies, like
everything else, rae going up in
price"

The members of the Golgatha

congregation have accepted the

the Presbyterian church will be
more than willing to cede the
field to the Lutheran church as
