Annual Meetings of the Different Soci
eties Held and Excellent Reports
Made ofPast Year's Work.
This is the season of the year when
a number of our chmch societies hold
their annual meetings and like other
orgam/ations make their reports of
the progress made during the past
year. It is veiy encouraging to note
that a spirit of progressiveness pre
vails in all of Willmar's churches and
that most excellent results are report
ed, showing commendable Chnstian
activity.
At the annual meeting of the Swed
ish Evangelical Mission congregation,
held on New Year's day the treasurer
reported that he had received $2,799
85 and paid out $2,842..}J, leaving only
a deficit in the treasury of $42.47
During the past year the thuich build
ing has undergone many improve
ments and this fact coupled with the
tact that there have been many othei
expenditures makes the above a very
creditable showing. The following

offices quoted: J. G. Appelgren,
chairman Nils Trulson, vice chair
man Aug. Johnson, secretary N.
Anderson, vice secretary J. A. Hedin,
trustee M. Anderson, deacon Aug
W. Hoglund, Sunday School super
intendent J. G. Appelgren, assistant
superintendent Miss Dora Segerstrom,
organist P. O. Anderson, leader of
the singing John Warmark, sexton.

At the annual meeting of the congre
gation of the Lutheran Free church,
held last Wednesday afternoon, the
various reports of the different officers
far exceeded expectations and every
thing indicated that all of the mem
bers had labored faithfully in con
tributing toward the suppoit of the
church. The reports from the differ
ent societies were very satisfactory.
The treasurer's report showed a bal
ance of $1600 as the remaining indebt
edness of the church. The new edifice
was completed in the fall of 1903 at a
cost of about$16,000sothis report shows
most excellent progress in the work
of wiping out the debt. In the election
of officers C. C. Birkeland was
re-ing:
elected as secretary, having held this
position for about twenty years. S.
S. Glarum, for many years treasurer,
was again honored with a re-election.
O. R. Sletten and Halvor Shipstead,
whose terms expired as members of
the board of trustees, were re-elected
for another term of two years. The
other members are O. N. Elgeross,
Eric Holt, S. S. Glarum and O. A.
Jacobson. As members of the board
of deacons Hans Rude and Anders
Johnson weie re-elected for two years.
Miss Clara Moss succeeds Miss Clara
Johnson as organist and Sam Govig
was re-elected as cantor.
An adjourned meeting for unfinished
business will be held Jan. 17.
The annual meeting of the congre
gation of the Norwegian Lutheran
Synod church was held Monday fore
noon and a most satisfactory condi
tion of affairs was found. Several
new members were received into the
church at this meeting. A good finan
cial showing was made in the report
of the treasurer, L. O. Thorpe. The
former annual meetings were held in
June, this meeting being the first one
held since the change of date, so the
business transacted covered only the
period since last June. M.Jorgenson,
treasurer of the building committee,
read his report and showed a balance
of a few cents in the building fund.
The present structure is all paid for,
as well as the furnishings. It was
completed last fall at a cost of nearly
$15,000. The parsonage was also com
pleted a short time ago and the entire
debt on the church property amounted
to something like $18,000, which has
now been practically wiped out. The
labors of this committee having been
finished, it was released from further
work. The reports from the parochial
schools showed a good attendance and
a small balance in the treasury. A
very satisfactory report was given
from the Sunday school, which now
has an attendance of about 140 pupils.
No reports were given at this meeting
from the two ladies' societies nor the
young people's societies, but they are
all in a most flourishing condition.
It was decided to continue the use of
the new ritual which was introduced a
short time ago.
The old officers were re-elected for
another year, being as follows: C. E.
Lien, secretary L. O. Thorpe, treas
urer I. Olson, trustee for three
years* Paul Hanson and Osuld Knut
son were re-elected as members of the
school committee. Prof. H. S. Hille
boe was elected as assistant superin
tendent of the Sunday school, the pas
tor being the regular superintendent.
Alfred Markhus was chosen as secre
tary and Miss Gertrude Hilleboe as
ti easurer.
The Swedish Lutheran Bethel church
congregation held its annual meeting
yesterday morning The various re
ports read show that progress has
been make in all the branches of the
church work. The communicants in
good standing now number 175 total

year there have been 18 baptisms 9
marriages and 3 deaths 17 adults and
10 children have been received into
the church 5 adults and 2 children
have received letters of dismissal, and
a few have been dropped. The finan
cial report showed that about $2,500
have been paid in for all purposes dur
ing the past year. Of this amount the
ladies aid society contributed $651.90.
The disbursements include $555 for
salaries, $86.99 for benevolent institu
tions, $95 for missions and $56.80 for
educational institutions. The amounts
paid out for permanent improvements
to the church property duringthe year,
including furnishings, foot up to the
sum of $3,860.81. There is still a debt
of $2,500, with a cash balance in the
treasury of $215.44 The total value
of the church and parsonage property
reaches more than $9,000. Though a

GRUE, Jan. 7.—Andrew Olson, who
is nearly 84 years of age, had a very
bad accident last week. He had at-Kandiyohi
tempted to clean the chimney of his
house and while he was descending
the ladder slipped. Mr. Olson fell a
distance of about ten feet and struck
the ground in such a manner as tostreet
fracture his right hip, and also re
ceiving a slight injury to the head and
right arm. Dr. Johnson was called
to attend and dress the fracture.
The city is at work complying with
the requirements for free mail de
livery service and it is expected that
the street signs will be here by thethApproved
15th of this month, btreet Commis
sioner Bonde has been busy at work
looking up the house numbering and
the old numbers can be used it
will not be necessary for the property
owners to substitute new ones. It will
be necessary however for the figures
to be in such shape that they can be
plainly read by the mail carriers so
as not to inconvenience them in their
work. The Philadelphia system of
numbering has been adopted and will
be complied with in every particular,
as it has been found to be the most
satisfactory and is the one which is
in use in all the large cities.
The territory to be covered by
carriers will extend as far north in
the First ward as Park avenue and
asCity
far west as 13th street. In the Second
ward it will extend south to Rice ave
nue and west to 12th street. Delivery
will be made in the Third ward as far
as Bertha street and north to the over
head railroad bridge. This will take
in the Great Northern offices. The
limit in the Fourth ward will be Olena
avenue on the south and Jefferson
street east. Sperry's addition to
will not be included in the
city delivery, but it is probable that
arrangements will be made for a re
ceptacle for mail to be placed near
the bridge. This we understand will
be optional with the residents of that
portion of the city.
The city is divided into three carrier
districts. The first district takes in
the First ward and all of that part of
the Second ward within the following
boundary line: Sot th to Becker ave
nue along Twelfth street, then east to
Eleventh, south to a little beyond
Trott avenue, east beyond Tenth street,
back to Litchfield avenue, east to
Sixth, then north to Pacific avenue and
on to Seventh street. The second dis
trict comprises the rest of the territory
to be covered in the Second ward, the
boundary line on the east being Fourth
street, which street is included in this
district. The boundary line on
theof
south is as follows: From Tenth
street along Trott avenue to Sixth
street, then to Monongalia, then to
Seventh, taking in part of blocks 80
and 81, back to Sixth and down to
Kandiyohi avenue, east to Fifth, then
a little beyond Rice avenue, back to
avenue and on to Fourth
street. The third carrier district takes
in the Third and Fourth wards or
those portions of them within the
following boundary line: From Fourth
along Kandiyohi avenue to
First street, then to Augusta avenue,
then along Jefferson street to Olena
avenue, back to Augusta avenue,
then to First street, along First street
to Trott avenue, to Jessie street, to
Minnesota avenue, to Mason street,
bac* to Trott avenue, to Maud street,
to Becker avenue, to Bertha street,
then to Litchfield avenue, and extends
as far as the Great Northern offices
near the railway tracks. Going back
on Litchfield avenue to First street the
line extends across to Pacific avenue,
then terminates at Fourth street.
In all there will be 21 street Utter
boxes in the city, which will be lo-Andrew
cated at the following points:
Corner of Nelson avenue and Olaf
street, Gorton and Thirteenth, Ella
and Ninth, Gorton and Tenth, Camp
bell and Eighth, Litchfield and Tenth,
Pacific and Seventh, Becker and
Eighth, Pacific and Fifth, Becker and
Fifth, Monongalia and Fifth, Pacific
Fourth, Benson and Fourth, Trott
and Fourth, Pacific and Third, Litch
field and Third, Minnesota and Third,
Becker and First, Monongalia and
First, Becker and Mason, and near
the Great Northern offices.
There are many details yet
arrange before the service can be in
augurated and until the city has fully
complied with all the requirements
the postal department will be unable
to complete its work preliminary to
the establishment of the free delivery.

flat locomotive headlights could be
seen 30 to 40 miles. Getting further on
I noticed water basin walls built on
little slopes like fortifications, holding
back the water and providing drink
ing places for the cattle. Gradually
farm houses appeared here and there.
I asked the conductor why all that
fine level land was lying idle and he
said the drought during the summer
was too severe for crops. While talk
ing with him I noticed something that
looked like a Minnesota straw stack
covered with snow, and I said to the
conductor: I believe I see a straw
stack." He smiled and informed me
that I was looking at Pike's Peak at
a distance of 150 miles. Coming up
towards Denver I could see a chain of
mountains which continued on to
Colorado Springs. There were plenty
of peaks, but the big fellow was stick
ing up above them all, and it seemed
impossible to get him out of sight.
At Denver I changed cars and took
the D. &. R. G. road to Colorado
Springs. That is a very beautiful
place. That it is dependent upon
tourists for its support is evident as
soon as you come from the cars.. A
dozen hands grab \our satchel and
your arms, tearing in all directions,
and there is a great howling about
good hotels, good busses, good beds
—in fact everything good. If youstate,
don't show them that you know our
own business you are liable to pay
heavily for the "good" things. "He
who does not keep his eyes open will
have to keep his purse open," is antry
old saying, but there are circumstan
ces when it is hard »o do it.
Arrived in Colorado Springs at 5
p. m., Dec. 29. Took a trip up to see
the Seven Falls, a wonderfully beau
tiful sight. Seven waterfalls in be-Press
tween mountains sticking up sky high
on both sides. Stopped at a hotel
over night arid got up early to go to
the Garden of the Gods This is spoken
of as a warm country and I did not
bring my Minnesota fur coat, but
found I would have enjoyed it until
the sun rose. I think that what I saw
at this place is the wonder of wonders.
Truly, it is indescribable. The wrink
led-faced, grayhaired and worry-worn
northern farmer has no idea how much
good a trip thru this 1 ind can do him.
The Cave of the Winds is an entranc
ing underground journey of nearly
three-fourths of a mile, right into the
heart of the mountain. The way is
dry and easy to walk on, the air is
pure, and at no place does the altitude
vary 20 feet from that of the entrance
of the cave. This is Nature's studio
or dark-room and in the numerous
rooms .and halls, hundreds of feet
from the last rays of daylight, are
developed beautiful colors and rare
crystallized formations, from the ex
quisite cypress, slender flowering ala
baster, to the immense carbonate
stalactites six feet long, hanging from
the ceiling. These stalactites have
some time in the past been formed by
water trickling down and carrying the
mineral substances with it, just as
icicles are formed by water dripping
from window ledges, but they are now
as hard as flint. Viewed in the
lights we carried they displayed all
the colors of the rainbow, and the
guide played on them as on a well
tuned piano A person has to see
these things to form any idea of their
beauty.
Then come other scenic places, too
numerous to mention, where the
wanderer may find supreme rest and
undisturbed communion with nature.
Before you everywhere are grea clefts
in the granite mountains, as if some
mighty hand had split and wedged
tht apart that one might enter and
behold the wondrous works of time
within. Over by the rugged walls and
just without the break of the foothills
lies Colorado Springs, an emerald
checker board midway in the picture.
Far beyond are the great plains, rol
ling away like the waves ot the ocean
to meet the sky.
There was pointed out to me the
place where a Miss Crawford climbed
the red bluff two or three times a
week. She died from consumption
and was buried at the top of Red
Mountain at her own request. Also
a place where a couple of years ago a
traveller fell down from the cliff, a
distance of 100 feet, dying instantly.
He landed at the foot of the rock, just
where the family was camping. We
also saw the mountain where Helen
Hunt, the great writer, had chosen her
final resting place. The remains were
later brought "down and buried at Col
orado Springs, where her husband
now resides.
I drank freely of the crystalline min
eral water at the pavilion. This water
is shipped to other places and sold at
ten cents a glass.
Left Colorado Springs Saturday,
Dec. 30, for Salt Lake City, over the
D. & R. G. road. The first beautiful
scenery on that road was the Royal
Gorge near Canon City, where we went
climbing up behind two stout locomo
tives, winding ahead of us in all kinds
of directions, so that sometimes a
great chasm with a dark stream down
below separated the front and the rear
of the train. The grade rises four feet
in every hundred feet. We finally
reached Tennessee Pass, 10,418 feet
above sea level There I saw the first
snow on the trip. After the locomo
tives had rested for a while, as if to
catch their breath, they dumped us
down a tunnel. We descended in safe
ty and after a while found ourselves
in beautiful Glenwood Springs. After
a while we went up another raise of
7,906 feet, on the other side of which
could be seen the Soldiers' Summit,
the place where some of Gen Logan's
soldiers were taken sick and died. A
house is built near the track, marked
".-oldiers Summit," and a fenced en
closure marks the place where rest the

a little city not very closely built. I
