Fine Concert BY
Warren Juvenile Band

~.
The concert given by the Warren
Juvenile Band at the High School Audi
forum on Tuesday evening did great
credit to the boys belonging to the or
ganization and to their efficient leader,
MI. Emil Dahlof. Very few towns Of
the size of. Warren, we dare say, can
boast Of a Juvenile band of forty pieces.
And then when We consider the difficult
music which the boys played with such
tine spirit and precision, we marvel still
more at what has been accomplished
in, the two years that the band has been
in existence. Those who heard the boys
play year ago and who heard them
play now, We're astonished at the pro-
gress they HAD made in a year. The
tact and patience of Director Dahlof in
dealing with boys and his ability to
keep them interested, also counts for
much in making the band success.
At short intermission in the program
Prof. G. E. SjOstrand, who is the presi-
dent Of the band spoke warm words Of
appreciation Of the musical work Of the
boys and their leader, Mr. Dahlof.
Warren can rightly be proud of its
Juvenile band and should give it de-
served encouragement It is to be
hoped that the boys will play at many
open air concerts during the coming
summer, to the delight of the people of
this entire community - -, II

Some Amazing Appetites.

It Is very wise provision Of nature
that our appetites, especially during
these days, are not proportionally as
great as those Of some insects, says
an English naturalist u
For example, if a baby had the appe-
tite Of young potato beetle it. would
eat from SO to 100 pounds of food every
"a hours. If a horse ate as much as q
caterpillar, in proportion to it's; size. It
would consume ton Of hay every "a
hours. A caterpillar eats twice It's
weight Of leaves every day, buta potato
beetle <devours every day at least five
times its weight Of foliage, every bit. Of
which represents just SO much money
to the farmer. si IS. RI s I.
4 The most destructive Of all insects,
however, is the grasshoppe which,
when in good health, consumes in a day
ten times its weight of vegetation. No
wonder that whole districts are devas-
tated by its multitudinous swarms IS

MANY; : En- TO
SaSl.,-) CONCERT
The Warren Oratorio Chorus Present
'The Great Light at the Strand
ON Sunday Afternoon.

A large and appreciative audience
listened to the rendition Of the sacred
cantata, ''rhe Great Light, by the
Warren Oratorio Chorus at the Strand
last Sunday afternoon. The great
cantata depicts in beautiful words and
music the wonderful story of the
Savior's life. death and resurrection
and therefore was very fittingly rem
dered on the quiet afternoon of Easter
Day. That it is possible to render great
musical compositions like this cantata
in our little city speaks volumes for
the musical talent and the interest in
good music that is found here. Too
much praise cannot be given to all who.
belong to the chorus for giving their
time and talents to the rendition >Of
music that is worth while and, for the
enjoyment and edification Of the people
of the city. The s0loists on this Occa-
sion were Mrs. f. G. Wittensten, so
prano; Mrs. Nora Ulland, contralto
Mr. Ingof Grindeland, tenor and Mr..
A. I. Bystrom, bass. They all have fine
and we'll trained voices and it was
pleasure to listen to their respective
parts. The quartette work also was
excellent, those taking part therein
being Mrs. A. r. Hatfield, Mrs. Nora
Ulland, Mrs. &C. Wittensten, Miss
Ebba Lundgren, and Messrs Ingolf
Grindeland, A. I. Bystrom,s Ingolf
Peterson and Ole Lyngholm. Miss
Agda Wennerberg, of the Conservatory
of Music Of North Star College, is the
director Of the chorus and much of the
success attained is due to her energy
and ability as leader Miss Olga
Hermanson, also Of the North Star Col
lege Conservatory of Music, was the
accompanist, and Miss Bertrice Lund-
quist, the pianist, both performing their
parts well. The music loving people
.sof Warren are very grateful to all who
took part in the rendition Of this great
cantata. They have helped to place
Warren on the map as musical center.

Red Lake Drainage
And Conservancy
District Organized

Eight months only after the drainage
and flood relief meeting held at Thief
River Falls on July %, presided over
by @. G. Selvig, the Red Lake Drainage
and Conseryancy Board was appointed
by Judges Grindeland and Stanton.
Two hearings were held on November
and January 20, at which those favor-
ing and opposing the organization were
heard. Senator r. T. Cliff, the author
OF the drainage district act, attended
the latter hearing and gave conclusive
facts showing the advantages to be
gained from having the district organ
lied. .t@. p s.# ssss
The five members of the Board at
tended last week a hearing at Warren
on a system of bitches proposed for
eastern, Marshall county under the
Judicial ditch law. Joseph Baugh, of
Warren, is engineer in charge Of this
project. The decision Of Judge Grinde-
land is awaited with interest as the
project affects thousands of acres.
At a meeting Of the Board the Red
Lake river and Clearwater river pro-
jects were formally started and the at
torney for the board, Chas. Boughton,
OF Red Lake Falls, was instructed to
proceed with plans. Mr.. Selvig, who is
chairman<of the Drainage Board, re-
Gently made trip to Washington in re-
gard to these projects. In a letter re-
Gently received by him from Congress-
man STEVENSON. he states that the
Stevenson bill was approved by the
Secretary of Interior for the Indian
Bureau and will doubtless become a
law soon. This will clear the way for
the deepening and widening of those
rivers Saffording permanent drainage
for large acreage of highly valuable
land III
The members of the Red Lake Drain
age Board are VIM Paskewitz, Grygla :;
Andrew Johnson, Gonvick ;Axel Nelson,

Aubol st. Hilaire. S. E. Hunt, Red
Lake Falls, was appointed treasurer.
Thief River Falls is the permanent
place; of business. Many important
duties devolve upon the Board. One
of the most important is the mainten-
ance of bitches after they are estab-

great Joss to crops due to bitches that.
have become filled up or damaged. The
work of this. Board will be followed
with interest as its organization marks
a new epoch in the attempts to solve
the drainage problems of this section
of the state. It is the second district
so organized, the Big Stone Lake dis
triet being the first. Others being plan
ned are the Roseau river district, up
per Red River and perhaps the Otter

No Decision Yet In
Big Drainage Project

:. The hearing before Judge Grindeland-
in the matter Of the big drainage pro-
ject in the eastern part Of the county.
was concluded last Thursday afternoon,
after two days consumed in presenting
arguments forSor objections against the
proposed Improvement. AS stated last
week, about 200 farmers interested
either for or against the project, were
heard in the matter. Julius J. Olson
and Charles LOring represented farmers
favoring the project and e. NJ. Stanton
and H. @. Chomie, bf Thief River Falls.
and c. A. Fosnes: of Montevideo. were
the attorneys for those opposed There
appeared to be many conflicting Opin-
ions in regard to the project and the
benefits to be derived therefrom. Many
expressed themselves as willing to pay
the additional ditch taxes that would
be imposed and believed that the pro-
posed drainage scheme would be a good
investment, while others strongly OBJ
jected to being saddled with any more
ditch taxes and some asserted that
there were bitches enough already
Most Of those heard believed that Thief
river should be deepened or widened
from the Skomedahl bridge south for a
distance of two miles in order to pro-
vide better outlet for the food waters
that accumulate in the river at that
point and not carried off rapidly enough
owing to insufficient fall in the bed of
thettriver: Judge Grindeland will take
thine to consider: the matter carefully in
all its bearings He is in the cities this
| week and has, not vet rendered any. de
cision. But as far as concerns judicial
ditch number 80, in Pennington county,
