MINNEAPOLIS ID V
 HONOR PIONEERS
Big Celebration Will Open There
 On'June s

Minneapolis Juna tAP)- Pageantry and song will vie with speeches and exhibits in depicting the pRrt played by Norwegians in the development of the northwest at the Ncrse-American centennial cele- bration here June 6 to 90.
 Much of the romance in the build ins of the northwestern section of the United States are chapters from the history of the Morse Americans In this country, for 1t is in this sec- ton a majority of the "hardy Morse" settled.
 Interest will be added to the cele- 'bration by the presence Of Presid ent and Mrs. Coolidge and June B. has been set aside as Presidents day, when he will speak at 2 p. m. at the state fair grounds, where the celebration will he held.
 Promise of the presence of the giant dirigible Los Angeles for part Of the celebration has provided an- other point of attraction for those who have never seen a dirigible.
 But to the thousands of Norse- Americans born in Norway. or mem hers Of the early Norwegian colonies in the northwest. the celebration has Its main attraction in the promise of gigantic reunion, particularly in the conventions of "Bygdelags" on June 6.
 Thirty "Bygdelags" will hold their reunions on that day, each consti- tuting descendants Of a Norwegian community or clan, distinguished by distinct dialect. These conven- tions are annual affairs in this coun- try and are expected to attract 25,- oto persons this year.
 Tn this group will be many de- scendents of the original 6S immi- grants who arrived In this country Oct. g. 1925, on the Norwegian sloop Restaurationen, the first organized group of Norwegians to emigrate to America.
 It Is in commemoration of the ar rival of this now historic sloop that the celebration will be held, spon- sored by Norse-American churches, colleges, associations and individ- uals. to enable composite picture Of what the Norseman has done in tho settlement and growth Of the north west. |
 Tn the original group that board ed the sloop at stavanger were bz men, women anc children. but be- fore the voyage had been completed the roster had been increased by the birth of a girl, Margaret Allen Lar sen Atwater. ~
 Participating in the celebration here will be Mrs. Atwater's son, Rev. John Larsen Atwater of Chicago retired Baptist clergyman, now 7S years old. and Mrs Atwater's sister Jane s. Atwater, for 50 years teacher in the public schools or Chi- cago.e
 Exhibits of the arts and the pro- fessions, contributed by Norse- Americans, will make an important nart of the celebration, and on the closing night a pageant including 900 persons will picture the Americanization of the Norwegian.
 This pageant will center around Colonel Hans Heg of the 18th Wis ,onsin infantry, the all-Norse regi- nent of the Civil war, which partici- oated in 2s engagements before Col onel Heg was killed in the battle or ~bfrka manga

Through The Static

Genuine summer static was pres ent last evening, It started in tho afternoon and the thunder storm of the early evening did not help con- dltions any While music came through fairly well, the crashes of static prevented announcements and talks from being heard.
 e.
 WBz seemed to be our best bet last evening. The program, while not as poppy as VIC should have liked it to be, held our interest on its merits. The choice of selections by Alice Welch, soprano, and Donald Pirnie, baritone, was excellent and the con! cert by the WillIston Academy Giee club has seldom been excelled.
 Miss Welch opened the program with The Wren," a fragile little melody. This was followed by q Know Where I'm Goin'." by Hughes, T Know, My Love-" by Hughes, "The ould Plaid Shawl" and Spring Fancy" The voice was ex- cellent and that metallic tone which Is so often noticeable from WBZ was missing.
 Pirnie's program was well adapt cd to follow that by Miss Welch. The baritone's voice, in marked contrast to the soprano tones. pleased us greatly. And then, 1t was possible to understand the words of each song, something seldom experienced from WBZ. "The Dream" from "Manon" and Bantock's "Serenade" were probably the best numbers of Mir. Pirnie's extensive program. '
 The Glee club from Williston Academy Of Easthampton appeared at WBz for its annual concert over the radio. The glee club is recognized as one of the best '"prep" school groups in this section of the coun- try, and it upheld Its reputation last evening. Soldiers Chorus" by Gou- nod, and Kentucky Babe" were two of the best selections rendered. We have never heard the latter number rendered any more satisfactorily The tone shadings were excellent and the club showed the result Of careful and extensive training.
 t.:
 We heard just bit Of the pro- gram marking the opening Of the new station in New York city, WGCP, which is located in the Grand General Palace. This station is 500 watt proposition and broad casts on 252 meters. Except for the 4 fact that some other station was tangled up with WGCP for some time, the program came through well when it was possible to hear 1t through the static. A section of a story in what appeared 10 be negro dialect came through to us, but since we couldn't follow the talk, due to the static, we dashed away and, after few turns around the dial, in the course of which we brought In nothing unusual, we shut her off and went to bed.
 That's all for today thanks.

Clear Creek Water
System To Be Rebuilt

With the suspension Of drilling op-
erations on the water well in the San
ia Fe roundhouse grounds comes the
announcement that an appropriation
of 100000 is carried in the years
budget for the improvement of the
Clear Creek water supply plant. A
gravity ditch, electric pumping plant
and other works will be constructed.
The well in the yards was sunk to
a depth of about one thousand feet,
and while a great amount of water
was discovered, it was too salty for
use. Chief Engineer G. L. Davenport,
water expert for the Santa Fe, has
the disposition of the we'll under con-
sideration as to the advisability of
casing off the salt water, or whether
the water can be treated and used for
railroad shop purposes.

OPMENTS in
ARIZONA TO COST
TWENTY MILLIONS

The vests building program for
1925, calling for expenditures of many
millions to construct power, dam, rail-
road and community projects, will be
considerably greater" than in 1924,
declares a prospectus issued this week
by the United States department of
labor based upon survey of conditions
in the Rocky Mountain region.
The expansive policy of construction
assures the western states steady en-
ployment for resident labor of all
classes throughout the building sea-
son, with the prospect of Slight short
age of building labor in some of the
larger communities" says the report.
Increased building and construction
are forecast by the report in all OF
the regional states-IdahO, Montana,
Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah,
Nevada and New Mexico.
Colorado has public project sche-
duleds this year calling for expendi-
lures of about $35,000,000 while Ari-
zona is preparing for approximately
SIC, 100000 worth of development pro-
jects, including $6,000,000 copper
teaching plant. In addition, Arizona
is watching the development of rail-
road building program which includes
the double tracking of $50 miles of
railway. More than million will be
spent on the development of the Sit
greaves forest and many millions have
been appropriated for Santa Fe rail
way improvements.
New Mexico had comparatively
light building year in 1924, the re-
port adds, and an increase of from
5 to Is per cent is predicted in that
state this year with a $500,000 court
house in Albuquerque among it's
scheduled projects of ranking impor-

Council Gives Permission
To Have Streets Surfaced

The city council at it's special meet
ing Wednesday evening granted per-
mission for any and all property own
ers to put on the streets before their
property the same material as that
used on the few miles of highway
west of town, and now connected to
the city paving on Second street.
The work will be in the nature of
an experiment and it will be up to
the property owners to pay all costs,
but as the cost is so much less than
other forms of paving, it is expected
by the council that number of
blocks in different parts of the city
will be surfaced. The contractors
who have been figuring on the work
estimate that the cost will not exceed

Winslow's New Slogan
z'The Meteor City,
By a Railroader

Editor Winslow Mail:
Your slogan is very attractive
The tourist will like it in time,
So be ready to answer the query"
Where is this remarkable mine?
We want to see this meteor.
On your city we never will knock
But what We are anxious to see friend
Is this very remarkable rock
It's a snappy advertisement.
And it sounds very good in rhyme
But to make this slogan stronger,
Have Dad Ament haul in the mine
Forgive me, Mr.. Editor,
I know you wont like this pun,
I'm strong for ''The Meteor City,"
And this is all meant in fun.
