Tenth Annual Reunion A Big
Success. Full Report to
Our Next Edition.
An ideal day, a large attendance
of old settlers and an interesting
program combined to make yester
day's celebration one of the best re
unions yet held by the Kandiyohi
County Old Settlers' Association.
The entertainment committee of
the Commercial Club, heade 1 by E.
C. Well in, deserve the fullest praise
for its labors in providing for the
comforts and entertainment of the
members of the association while in
the city.
The program at the park held a
crowd interested until the
close. The automobile ride proved
somewhat of a failure on account of
the rough roads. Out of eighteen
machines in the city but five were
brought out by the owners. The
feature of marking the historic
spots in the neighborhood was some
of the most practical work yet ac
complished by the association and
it is to be regretted that a larger
number of the members could not
be accommodated to take part in
the dedicatory exercises.
At the business session in the
morning ttyere was a larger attend
ance than at any previous business
meeting held. About twenty new
members were enrolled. The fol
lowing were elected officers for the
ensuing year: president, John
Wicklund of Kandiyohi first vice
president,'Martin Olson of Atwater
second vice president, William Ol
son of Spicer secretary, A. O.
Forsberg of Willmar treasurer, J.
G. Monson of Kandiyohi.
A more extended report of the
celebration will be given in our
next issue, as neither time nor
space will permit us to do it justice
this week.
Sheriff Sonde at Atwater.
Axel Freelander of Atwater is
languishing in jail convicted on the
plea of having maintained a nui
sance in the village of Atwater.
He was arrested by the village mar
shall in Atwater for drunkenness
last Wednesday night and Sheriff
Bonde was called to come down.
He made a raid on Freelander's
place in the Klevjer building and
made a charge against Freelander
for maintaining a place for illegal
sale of intoxicating liquors. When
arraigned on the charge he plead
guilty and Justice Andrew Nelson
sentenced him fifteen days for
drunkenness and fined him fifty dol
lars and costs on the second charge.
The fixtures, including coil refrig
erators, bars, etc., were confiscated
by the sheriff and stored for future
disposition. Old saloon fixtures
are a mighty poor property in Kan
diyohi county, or the sale of the
confiscated stuff might net the pub
lic treasury a nice little sum. This
is the second set of, fixtures that A.
A. Klevjer has lost in this county,
his place at Willmar having been
cleaned out on a previous occasion.
Church Picnic at Christine.
The Christine congregation of
Lake Lillian will hold its annual

voters who refuse to pay or work
their poll tax. Three such cases
were before Judge Muller of the
Municipal court this morning.
Two pleaded guilty and were fined

to work and had no money to pay.
His case went over until tomorrow.

their sons and moved to this city,
having built a new home on Tenth
street. Here, surrounded by mem
bers of the family, deceased was

Lake Andrew Woman is Twice
Stricken in Electrical Storm
Last Sunday Evening.
A terrible event occurred at Nor
way Lake last Sunday evening when
Mrs. Ingrid Skaalerud, wife of Ole
the fmaqjgkaaierud, was struck by lightning
and instantly killed. Mr. and Mrs.
Skaalerud were entertaining John
Nordin and wife, and th party had
down to the shore of the lake,
about a quarter of a mile from the
residence, to enjoy the pleasant
evening by the cool waters of the
lake. The threatening thunder
shower coming up, they all started
for home. Mr. Nordin had his
team tied and was very anxious to
get to the same, therefore ran
ahead of the ladies. When near a
wire fence a first flash of lightning
came so near as to cause Mrs. Skaa
lerud to drop to the ground. She,
however, rose again and started to
run for the house, but had not pro
ceeded far before another flash of
lightning struck her with the fatal
result. Mrs. Nordin was also rend
ered unconscious by the thunder
bolt, but has recovered without any
serious consequences. The sad trag
edy has cast a gloom over the en
tire community.
The deceased was a daughter of
Halvor Hande, was born and
brought up in this locality and was
respected and loved by all who
knew her. She leaves a sorrow
stricken husband and seven small
children to mourn her sudden death.
They have the heartfelt sympathy of
the community in their sad bereave
ment.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon at the East Norway Lake
church. Rev. D. C. Jordahl offi
ciated. The interment took place
in the adjoining cemetery.

The road work in this community
is now nearly finished and the roads
are in fairly good shape. Consid
erable work has been done on
"sloughside," where a grade 40
rods long has been made, which is
an improvement to the neighbor
hood and a credit to the path
master, Hans Halvorson, and those
that took part in doing the work.
As the new road law has already
taken effect, this is-the last time
the road work can be done in the
old way, but it is doubted whether
the new way will be any better
than the old way of doing the
work.

er last Saturday morning, a large
crowd gathered at the auction at
the Crow River parsonage. A very
interesting address was delivered
by Rev. Borgo, after which the sale
of the numerous articles took place.
The people were very generous in
bidding and the three societies dis
posed of all their goods in a short
time, the income of the sale
amounting to somewhere around
$150.
Didn't Know the Sheriff.
Sheriff Bonde went up to Linton
ville last Monday and arrested Jo
seph Horscher on the charge of il
legal sale of liquor. The doughty
prohibition sheriff is the complain
ing witness himself. While sum
moning jurors in that locality a
week ago Sheriff Bonde ^secured
evidence that the party named was
selling the proscribed stuff, and se
cured a warrant for his arrest. Be
fore serving the warrant he made
the interesting purchase of a bottle
of beer from the unsuspecting man.
Horscher was arraigned before the
municipal count yesterday afternoon
and was bound over to await the
action of the grand jury. His bail
was fixed at $100, and he is await
ing the return of the papers sent to
his friends at Linton before regain
ing his liberty. Horscher still
stoutly maintains that such a man
as Peter Bonde never was in his
place of business.

During the first quarter of the current year the record high prices
for copper have resulted in the payment of $21,097,354 in dividends by
twenty-five companies, which are directly interested in mining or are
large shareholders in the United States and Mexico, says Mining World.
These twenty-five concerns have declared since their incorporation
dividends amounting to the vast total of $349,739,183. Their issued cap
italization, varying from $1,000,000 to $153,087,900, amounts to $358,969-,
350, indicating that the dividends paid so far are equivalent to 97.4 per
cent.
Of immediate interest is, what will these shares yield in 1907?
For instance, Calumet & Hecla stock of $25 par value when selling at
$845 per share upon which $80 in dividends is declared (based on the last
quarterly payment) will yield about 9i per cent per annum. Since in
corporation in 1871, this company has declared dividends aggregating
the large total of $101,350,000 which is equivalent to 4,054 per cent on
the capitalization of $2,500,000. Amalgamated stock of $100 par value,
marketable at $88 7-8 and earning $8 in dividends annually, yields about
9 per cent, or very nearly the same as Calumet & Hecla at its present
market value. Since organization, in April, 1899, Amalgamated has de
clared dividends of $46,478,988 on its outstanding capitalization which
has been increased from $75,000,000 to $153,087,900.
Another surprise is that Calumet & Arizona stock of $10 par value,
selling at $160 upon which the annual dividend, based on the last quar
terly declaration, is $20 per share, yields 12i per cent. This dividend is
3 per cent more than is credited to Calumet & Hecla whose stock, by
the way, is marketed at more than five times the price of Calumet &
Arizona. Since incorporation in 1901, the Calumet & Arizona mine has
yielded dividends of $7,000,000, or 350 per cent on its issued capital of
$2,000,000.
Among the other large copper companies which have returned their
capitalization since organization are: Anaconda of Montana, $33,000,
000 on $30,000,000 issued stock Boston & Montana, $52,525,000 on $3\
750,000 Montana Ore Purchasing, $9,443,119 on $2,025,000 Osceola Con
solidated of Michigan, $6,362,000 on $2,403,850 Arizona, $8,982,043 on
$3,775,000 Parrot of Montana, $6,807,258 on $2,298,500 Quincy of
Michigan $17,270,000 on $3,751,000 United Verde of Arizona $22
270,322 on $3,000,000 Utah Consolidated, $6,036,000 on $1,500,000, and
Wolverine of Michigan, $4,530,000 on $1,500,000.
Copper, at prices ranging from 12c. to 15c. per pound, is respons
ible for more millionaires, probably, than any other industry. Under
these prices bloated plutocrats were turned out yearly. With prices
ranging between 20c. and 25c. we see quarterly increases of the"crop Mul
ti's and it is to be presumed that in the natural sequence of coming
events they will be turned out hourly from 1907 on.
The great Calumet & Hecla naturally leads, it having paid to 1905
over $91,0000,00 more to its original shareholders than they paid for it.
The Quincy has given back more than $15,000,000, and the Tamarack
more than $8,000,000 more than it received. The supporters of copper
mines evidently receive a brimming up and overflowing measure of re
ward.
Multitudes will be cast by the incoming tide of values high up on
the shores of fortune, and will thank the imperial metal King Copper
for relief from the toils and anxieties of poverty.
Stevens' "Copper Hand Book," the standard authority on the sub
ject, in fact, the only one of its kind in the world, says: "That it is es
timated that the copper mines of the world should produce 24,318 150
tons by the time the year 2000 is born." Compared with 1900—^486|363
tons—it would look as if prices might tumble, but by the same -au
thority, we find that the world will require by that time (year 2000)
174,681,468 tons. To even a lay reader the future importance of "Cop
per" should be quite manifest.
Of the real situation the following extract from the Salt Lake Her
ald will convey at least an inkling:
"The markets of the world have been stripped of the accumulated
supplies of the red metal, and today manufactures are not certain where
they are going to get what they need to fillthe orders ahead Produc
tion during the year just closed will show a substantial increase but
nothing like what it ought to have been, measured by the requirements
of the world.
Utah was able to produce only 10,000,000 pounds more than it did
in 1905. The state may do better than that this year, but not much
Nobody is ready yet to either mine or smelt the ore as rapidly as they
would like, and what is true of Utah is more than true of some of the
great copper regions of the country. The unprecedented demand for the
metal will not be met this year. That is certain, and it is therefore
just as certain that the price will remain high, most likely as hieh or
