This community has suffered a
distinct loss in the passing Of Marc
us Hagestad. So strong and sturdy,
apparently so to tn n d OF his
rourse here, it came to US with such
gripping suddenness that we cannot
yet realize that he has gone. But as
the days go and he does not appear
among us with his serious cheerful
ness, his ready, sympathetic conrad
ship and the courteous gentleness
that went with him always, we shall
come to realize then that we have
lost an influence fine and dependable
out of our lives.
Marcus Julian Hagestad was born
in River Falls, Wisconsin, August
20, 1901. He died September 6,
1917. He was member Of the Lu-
theran church where his grand
father, Rev. Thorsen, has been past
or the last forty-three years, and
where his grandfather, Rev. Hage-
stad was pastor the eleven years
just preceding. The rites Of bap-
tism, confirmation and burial were all
performed in their t m e by his
grandfather Thorsen.
Marcus was in the third year of
his normal course and very popular
with his classmates and teachers.
All speak in the highest praise of his
studious, thoughtful life and the ex-
cellent scholarship he showed. The
class of 1920 had elected him presi-
dent of their class Marcus never
had to be reminded of his school du-
ties either in class or in general re-
lations. His life was fine force for
good.
He was buried from the Lutheran

LAND BOARD TABLES
REPORT PROVIDING
FOR MOVING BOOKS

The state land board on a motion OF
Secretary OF State Dougherty tabled
the recommendations Of the special
committee consisting of the secretary
of state, state auditor and superintend-
ent OF public instruction to investi-
gate the matter Of the removal of the
land department books from the treas
ury department, at meeting of the
board today. AS an appropriation of
$4,000 Is needed to care for this ex-
pense, and this appropriation must be
made by the legislature. the action of
the board today is said to leave the
appropriations committee of the house
very much up In the air" It has been
waiting for a final decision of the board
on the matter.
Auditor Van beusen has taken the
stand that the books should be kept by
the land department and not by the
treasurer. The special committee ap-
pointed to investigate submitted two
reports to the land board. The ma
jority report. signed by the secretary
Of state and state auditor, recommend
ed the land department keep the books.
The minority report by Miss Redneid,
recommended that the treasurer keep
the books. These reports have been
laid on the table now by the board with
neither being adopted and the issue Is
still undecided.
