MARGARET NORMAN BJORGE

Hundreds Of friends and relatives
gathered at the Lutheran church yes.
terday afternoon at 2:30 D.. m. to pay
their respect and reverence to the
memory Of Mrs. Margaret Norman
Bjorge, Rev. B. A. Benson conducting
the funeral services. The church was
filled to overlooking to witness the
beautiful services marking the sad
loss of this young matron. There
was a profusion Of floral offerings.
Interment was made in Greenwood
cemetery.
Margaret Norman, Oldest daughter
Of Rev. and Mrs. F. c.. Norman of
Minneapolis, Mimi, was born in
Watertown, S. d., on Sept. 10, 1896.
She received her early education in
~Brookings and in the public schools
of Forestown, Mimi, and at Window,
Mimi. She graduated from the Win.
dom high school in 1915. The follow.
ing year she entered the department
of music at State college, making her
home with her grand parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A. Olson. She graduated
from State college in the spring of
1917. In the fall of the same year
she entered the conservatory of music
at Chicago, graduating from that in.
stitution in 1918 with honors. Hav.
ing fitted herself as a teacher of
music in the public schools she ac.
cepted a position at Audubon, Iowa,
where she taught two years. In 1921
she taught at Forest City, Iowa, where
she was offered a permanent position,
On June 10, 1921, she was united
in marriage at Anoka, Mimi, to A.
jobs Bjorge Of Brookings, and she
has made her home in this city since
that time. She vas taken i'll on Jan.
3 of this year and after spending
three weeks in the DeacOness
hospital at Broogins she was
taken to the home Of her parents in
Minneapolis, Mimi, and later to the
Fairview hospital where she passed
away on Feb. 4.
She leaves to mourn her departure

way, The whole country has bene-
fitted and no n questioned the wisdom
of the expenditure. The states on the
coast, east, south and west, however,
are receiving the greater benefits
and states in the north central group,
like Minnesota, get comparatively little
benefit from the canal.
True, we have the Great Lakes, but
they are not open to the sea-. When
we start a cargo from Duluth to Eu-
rope, we must pay for a portage across
New York state which costs as much
or more than the combined cost of
water transportation down the lakes
and across the Atlantic.
To remedy this, it is now proposed
that the United States join with Can
ada in opening up the st. Lawrence
river. The United States army engin-
GERS have reported that for about $780,
O0O, 900 locks and dams can be built
which will permit all ocean going
vessels except the largest leviathans
to come up to our lake ports. Canada
offers to pay half the cost, making
the cost to us a little more than one
fourth of what we spent on the Pan
anna canal. The army engineers be-
lieve that the horse power developed
at the dams to be built will not only
take are IL the cost of operation but
will in time pay for the entire cost of
construction. These power benefits
Canada offers to share with us.
The states which will benefit most
are those which receive the lesser
benefits from the Panama canal. That
would make things fair all around.
We believe, however, that the entire
country will benefit, except the pri-
vate interests which now profit from
the transfer of freight across New
York. The 500 canal has a tonnage
of 70 to 80 millions a year, while
the Panama canal exceeded 10, 200, 900
for the first time in 1920. With the
way open to the sea, traffic on the
Great Lakes will be doubled or
trebled. We cannot doubt that this
great agricultural and industrial re
gion, which includes Americas sec
ond, fourth and fifth largest cities,
will send down through the st. Law
renee a tonnage much greater than
Panama's. These states are entitled
to a route direct to the ocean.
There are several other waterway
projects which are worthy of consid-
GRAFTON. Each should be investigated,
and costs weighed against benefits.
Wherever it can be shown that bene-
the exceed the cost, the work should
be expedited. Expenditures for piece,
meal and haphazard waterway i'm,
provements should be stopped.

COURT A~DJOUNRS

Judge ". n. Skinner adjourned cir
cult court last Thursday to March
and left for his home at Watertown
The calendar this last term was a
heavy one but the majority of the
cases were of minor importance. No
large sums Of money were involved
and none Of the cases attracted espec-
ial public interest. One case has
been appealed to supreme court. The
First State bank Of Elkton lost it's
case against j. G. Marek and the
bank is appealing the case. The suit
is concerning the non-payment of a
note and the attachment of a stock
of goods.

and the current very swift and for a
time we were in doubt about making
a safe crossing, but after being carried
downstream a ways we landed safely

lumber from Candy, Mimi, with oxen.
Tracy vas the western terminus of
the railroad at that time, but they soon
began to push it on into Dakota. DR..
Kelsey and DR.. Higgins drove to Tracy
to try to persuade the railroad officials
to bring the railroad to Fountain, as
we had a little town started, but !
guess they preferred to start their own
town because they left us out in the
cold. We then decided that the next
best thing was to move the town to
the railroad. A short time before this,
two smart looking young men drove
into Fountain with q big team Of mules
hitched to a buggy. They gave their
names as George Mathews and John
Scobie, and said they were lawyers
from Fayette, Iowa. AS we were all
law abiding around there, I think their
business vas light.
Bookings was the name of the new
station on the railroad where the new
town was to be. We took oxen and
hayrack and began moving the store o.
George Pierce. which became the sec
ond building in Brookings. The new
town grew rapidly and soon out
stripped all other settlements in the
county. Situated as it was in a rich
farming district and with a large
group of enterprising men, a promising
future was insured. Among these mer
who did so much in shaping the early
history of Bookings were John Scobie
by whose efforts State college was 10
