ENJOY PROGRAM.
CHRISTINA TREE, BAND,
SANTA CLAUS, CAROLS AND
PRESENTS FOR ALL.

Long before the hour set for the
appearance of Santa Claus at the
Community celebration Saturday
evening, the street near the Com
munity Center building was black
with children intent on participating
in the festivities. Santa Claus oc-
cupied a sleigh and was driven
about town and on every street he
enthused children who fiocked to
the tree set in the street at the
Center and was brilliantly illumin-
ated.
The High School band opened up
the festivities and after rendering
several selections they were follow
ed by the Christmas carols led by
Miss Wing. Santa then formed the
children in lines of twos and in
passing through the building were
each handed a gift in the shape of
container in which were candy,
pop corn and nuts. 1900 packages
were handed out by the committee
and many did not wait to receive
theirs.
The celebration was arranged by
the Community Center Board in
connection with the School Board
and was one of the most successful
ever held. The weather was mild
and this accounted for the immense
attendance! The yiids enjoyed
every minute of the time and their
enjoyment was only exceeded by
the pleasure felt by the older ones
present in seeing them happy.

of a small band of American soldiers
who were penetrating into that
lonely wilderness of Minnesota be-
fore its metamorphosis into land
teeming with the white man S cities,
farms, gardens and civilization.

O'clock" wrote Pike. "Gave out two
pounds extra of flour, one gill of
whisky, and some tobacco, to each
man, in order to distinguish Christ
mas Day; distance advanced three
miles"
The Pike expedition, including its
commander and twenty soldiers,
left st. Louis on August 9, 1906, on
a trip to the sources of the Missis-
sippi. Late in September the party
reached the site Of the future city
of Minneapolis, and on October 16,
not far from the present city of
Little Falls, the building of fort
was begun. With sleds and a
piroque flowed by three men,"
Lieutenant Pike and his force set
out in December for the fur-trading
posts at Sandy Lake and Leech
Lake, reaching the former on jan
uary 8. In February the explorer
arrived at what he believed was
the upper source of the Missis-
sippi," Cass Lake. Not until April
80, 1906, did Pike return to st.
Louis, his starting point. The story
of the expedition is told in an alb
sorbing chapter in DIR. William w.
Folwelps recently-published History
of Minnesota.
