BOARDOF EDUCATION
Swedish Mission Conference
Takes Steps to Open Their
New School.
The sessions of the Swedish Mis
sion State Conference came to a
close with thiee large devotional and
evangelistic meetings last Sunday.
The afternoon and evening sessions
were held in the Assembly auditor
ium to accommodate the crowds.
Outside of the usual routine work
and doctrinal discussions the import
ant business of the conference was
the appointment of a Board of Edu
cation to provide for the opening of:
the Minnehaha Academy at Minne
apolis, the new Swedish-Amenean
institution ot learning just being
completed neai Minnehaha Falls.
The following weie elected as such
board: Rev. A. E. Palmquist of St.
Paul, piebident Rev. Nathaniel
Fianklin of Minneapolis, secretary
Aaion Cailson, Minneapolis, treas
uiei Revs. C. F. Sandstrom and C.
G. Ellstiom of Minneapolis Rev. A.
J. Oiman of Kensington Rev. A. W.
Franklin of Pennock Rev. N. Isaac
Nelson of Buftalo Messis. A. M.
Noidstrom and S. A. Mattson of
Minneapolis Chas. Wallblom and E.
J. Stolpe of St. Paul Swan Ander
son of Willmar F. W. Eiickson of
Duluth and Pi of. D. F. Swenson of
Minneapolis.
The confeience confirmed the call
of Rev. Biunstrom of Jamestown, N.
Y., to become the president of Min
nehaha Academy. The building will
be dedicated June 21, during the ses
sions of the General Swedish Mis
sion Covenant to be held at Minne
apolis. Best of all, it is expected
that the building will be dedicated
free of indebtedness. The structure
will cost $30,000 without furnishings.
$14,000 have been raised during the
past year. Three years ago the
Northwestern Confeience of the Cov
enant took over the old school pro
position of the Minnehaha School
Association. This included lots now
woith $20,000 and $7,000 cash.
Duzing the following vear some
$7,000 weie subscubed, and with the
good impetus given collections dur
ing the past year, it seems that there
will be no insurmountable difficulty in
cleaimg off the indebtedness by the
time of the annual meeting.
The following were elected as
chanmen of the diffeient divisions of
the Confeience: Willmar Circle, Rev.

The contest arranged for by the L..
A Tjosvold Music Co, of this city,
came to a close May 12 Nearly three
hundred solutions were received and it
was no small task for the appointed
judges, Hon O Thoipe, Atty Chas
Johnson and Mr A E Mossbergr, to
decide which was the best Some con
testants had used the dictionary and
listed many names without any refer
ence to picture, and others were elim
inated for other defects Finally the
choice narrowed down to a few and it
was finally decided that the solution by
Richard Taylor best represented the
correct solution by word and sketch,
and the award was made to him "Dick"
is the boy who sells the Curtis publica
tions around town, and is well liked by
the readers of the "Post," "Journal" and
"Gentleman," who now congratulate the
boy on his good luck. He tells what he
did with his prize in a letter published
in an ad on the first page of this pa

calls for it a handsomely painted dish
An interesting fact in this connection
is that fully 80 per cent of the solu

from the Willmar Tribune, something
for advertisers to think about.

Discoverer of the South Pole Here..
Capt. Roald Amundsen, the polar
explorer, came to Willmar on the
train from Watertown, S. D., last
Thursday afternoon. Among those to
meet him at the depot was Iver As
paas, who in his young days made
seven annual trips to Spitzbergen in
quest of polar game. He is 87 years
of age but still hale and hearty.
Capt. Amundsen, the conqueror of
the polar regions, evinced much in
terest in meeting the old walrus and
polar bear hunter. The Captain wore
a light spring suit and no overcoat,
and is a striking personality.
His lecture at the Assembly Audi
torium was a treat. After seeing the
views and hearing the Captain ex
plain the manner in which the south
pole expedition was successfully
carried out, one has a very vivid idea
of what such a trip means and the
thoro organization and pieparation
needed.
The moving pictures were remark
able when one thinks of the fact
that they were taken in the polar re
gions and not faked by some picture
concern. The passing of the "Fram"
thru the ice-bergs, the schools of
whales sporting in large numbers
like we may see suckers in the creek,
the antics of the polar dogs, the
dancing penguins, seals crawling
o\er the ice absolutely fearless of
man's approach, the departure of
the sledge teams on the last stage
of the trip, all pictured very vividly
and better than words could possi
bly do the conditions that prevail in
a polar temperature.
Capt. Amundsen left on the night
tram for Grand Forks.
John Dale, a brother of Ludvig S
Dale, well known at Willmar, arriv
ed from Norway a couple of weeks
ago, and is working on the Tallman
Dlace at Green Lake. Another bro
ther, Anton Dale, came up from Min
neapolis and spent last Sunday with
his brother.
Mrs. Ben Benson entertained
friends yesterday thruout afternoon
and evening. A lunch was served
at five o'clock, with covers laid for
18. The rooms were decorated with
apple blossoms. Musical numbers
were furnished by Miss Esther and
Mr. Sophus Larsen.
The first half of the real estate
taxes must be paid by Saturday of
next week to avoid the penalty.
School Matters Discussed.
The special school meeting last
Monday night drew about fifty voters
in spite of the disagreeable weather.
The meeting was called for the pur
pose of ascertaining the wishes of
the distiict in regarding to meeting
the increasing demands for room.
Prof. G. A. Foster, President Rus
sel Spicer and Secretary Aug. O.
Porsberg told of the needs of the
district and H. S. Peterson, O. R.
Berkness and others asked questions.
The conditions confronting the
Board of Education is over-crowded
rooms and no place to put the in
creasing number of pupils. The
basement of the Library building is
now used for the normal department,
and the number of pupils in grade
rooms run uo to 55 to a room, when
35 to 40 is the normal number. Even
the high school room, which, when
erected a few years ago, was thought
to provide for the future needs for
many years is filling up to its full
capacity. The present seating ca
pacity is 195 and the enrollment is
186. With the annual increase in
sight it will not be long until there
will be less room in the high school
building for grade pupils. The Board
has suggested a substantial addition
to the Lincoln school house in the
east part of the city. It is this part
of town that is growing the faster
at the present time. Some doubt was
expressed by those present as to the
oracticabihty of remodeling the pres
ent Lincoln building and expressed
themsehes in favor of a new build
ing. Finally on a motion for an ex
pression of those present as to
whether or not the Board of Educa
tion should prepare plans and sub
mit a proposition to the voters of
the district at a future meeting 26
of those present \oted "yes" and 23
"no."
After some further discussion
Pies. Spicer adjourned the meeting
after stating that it would be taken
as the sense ol the meeting that the
Board of Education proceed to pre
pare plans, ascertain the cost, and
call a special meeting to vote on a
bond proposition.
Plans for Eagle Lake Church.
The plans for the new Eagle Lake
church to take the place of the
building burned down last Christwljs:
eve., have been drawn by C. E. Ed
wins, architect, Minneapolis. The
plans provide for a handsome church
with a basement containing assem
bly room, library, kitchen, heating
plant, fuel room, etc. A copy of the
plans may be seen at the Willmar
Tribune office.
Contracts Let for Hospital.
The contracts for the new Willmar
Hospital to be erected by Dr. B. J.
Bianton were let last Thursday. Jens
Olsen of Willmar will build the struc
ture and Ben Benson will install the
plumbing. There were quite a few
outside bidders, but the home bid
ders were the lower. The contracts
let aggregate over $18,000, about
$2,000 less than the architect's esti
mate.

toad Convention at Graceville
Gels This Vision For the
Future.
Graceville, Minn., May 21—(Spec
ial.)—The first real step in the con
jstruction of the east and west high
way to be built from the Twin Cities
to Browns Valley, a distance of 205
miles, was taken yesterday at the
convention of commissioners and
commercial club details from the
counties of Traverse, Big Stone,
Stevens, Swift, Kandiyohi, Meeker,
Wright, Hennepin and Ramsey. The
convention was held in Graceville
yesterday and the permanent organ
ization of the East and West State
Highway associations effected.
Representatives from 34 towns
along the rest of this great trunk
line highway were present. This
road, which is to be of macadam, is
to be constructed under what is
known as the Dunn act. This act pro
vides that the sate and counties will
share the expense of construction,
thus taking the burden from the in
dividual property owners. These
counties now have available a total
of about $40,000 which can be used
in the construction of links of this
highway.
This East and West highway as
far as Morris, Minn., ultimately will
be the short auto highway to Glacier
National park, cutting off, it is esti
mated, about 100 miles from the
present route, which follows the
Great Northern railway directly
north through St Cloud, Alexandria
and Fergus Falls. The East and
West Highway parallels the Willmar
division of .the Great Northern to
Morris and then the Brown's Valley
branch through Graceville to the
State line.
Hon. James R. Hickey of St. Paul
addressed the convention, explaining
the construction phases of the high
way. Eighty enthusiastic practical
roadmakers were in attendance at
the convention.
P. N. Tallman of Willmar was
elected the id *-of the
Minnesota East and West Highway
association at the afternoon session.
M. J. O'Brien of Graceville was chos
en first viee president J. W. Wright
of Litchfield, second vice president
Frank Thornton, secretary, and W.
H. Boland of Waverly, treasurer.
The directors are Louis W. Hill of
Ramsey county, Asa Paine of Henne
pin, Mark M. Wooley of Wright, J.
W. Johnson of Meeker, E. C. Wellin
of Kandiyohi, D. F. McDermott of
Swift, Paul Spooner of Stevens,
.George V. Hickey of Big Stone, H.
W. Barrett of Traverse.
The county commissioners of all
the counties along the route, as well
I. as Commercial clubs in the towns
situated thereon, were requested to
ask the state highway commission
for surveys and estimates for the
road. Indications are that the work
of construction along this highway
will begin immediately and be push
ed vigorously. The road traverses
one of the most beautiful lake sec
tions of the state, passing more than
100 lakes and linking 34 towns in
eight of the most prosperous and
scenic counties of Minnesota.—Min

I wish to acknowledge receipt, and thank you for the
Kimball piano awarded me by the judges of your puzzle contest.
To win such a lovely prize as that was almost beyond my
expectations, but I worked hard to get it and my success as
sures me of the possibilities of your puzzle contests and of the
opportunities they afford. They are sure on the square. I
have always wanted a player-piano and when you informed my
folks that we could take full credit for our prize piano towards
a Kimball player-piano they decided to get one for me. We
have the Kimball player-piano in our home and all of us are
enjoying it to the fullest extent. It is a beauty and is so sim
ple and easy to operate. We are all delighted with it and will
always remember you with the best of wishes.
Yours truly,
RICHARD TAYLOR.
The above is a fac simile of the letter received
from Master Richard Taylor, the winner of the prize
piano.
