Recently, so the story goes, he was
calling upon a very estimable young

verp pleasantly and there was nothing
visible on the surface to be liable to
cause any friction of serious nature.
However, as the evening progressed
aud when the Confirmed Bachelor was
about ready to take his departure he
insisted upon diversion along oscula-

Recent Coal Deals.

Within the week two important coal
properties in the shadow of Wheeling
have changed hands for IN aggregate
consideration Of half million dollars.
The money gwen for these mines does
not look astounding in this age Of
million dollar enterprises. But to the
observer who recalls the somewhat re.
cent period in Wheeling's history
when coal banks" were regarded al
most on par with brickyards, the
change must arouse reflection.
Coal is pressing steel for the honor
of being king and its marvellous adj
yancement has kept pace with tho
growth of the steel industry. In fact,
they go aand in hand, with interests
mutually and irdissolubly linked.
Whom the steel and iron mills are idle
the coal mines must be- fdle, and the
resumption of one Inspires, the re.
sumption of the other.
And with uil the immense tonnage
tlat has been taken out of the bowels
Of The West Virginia hills only the
aiiFfacc has yet been scratched. What
appears to be fancy prices for coal

Oh as insignificant n few vclrs just

ent and past periods reveal surprising
margins, That is VIII farseeing H.

with Mrs. Cosson to drN them and
with such talent as the high school is
able to produce, will put on a play
which will be interesting to all, not
only on account of the large amount
OF fun and hunor pervading the
whole OF Shakespeare made over play,
but on account of personal interest
in our friends, the students. The pro-
ceeds are to help out the high school

The Sauk Centre herald., 1905-07-20
The Out Break Of Fairy Lake.
Communicated

The out break of Fairy Lake as
stated in the preceding Herald
happened On June the 25th, it was
caused by digging ditch across the
sand bar about one hundred rods
from the natural outlet on June the
23rd. The natural outlet as every
body knows especially the old
settlers, is at Gallaghers point ex-
tending through Omdoff's land and
flowing into the Ashley Creek. When
the lake is at it's natural height it
does not overflow but has several
times in the last forty years. The
Mill Company and citizens took
hold the next day and built tempo
rary dam to keep back the rush of
water from the Sauk Centre dam.
On July the third it broke open
anew and did more damage to the
property owners below the outbreak
than before, causing hundreds of tons
of hay to be destroyed. They awaited
for higher authority to act but moth
ing was done, so on Saturday, July Is,
some OF the property owners and
people that appreciate the value and
beauty of Fairy Lake were compelled
to build dam in order to save the
lake. The big ditch was cutting
deeper and closer and if let alone
would have nearly drained the lake.
The work was proceeding nicely when
in the afternoon the constable of
Kandota appeared on the scene and
ordered the men to stop working;
when asked to produce papers he
failed to find them. The men worked
with renewed vigor and the bluff
didn't work. Monday morning more
help arrived and about ten O'Clock a
certain attorney OF Kandota appeared
before them and freely offered his
advice, and took the names of the
men at work and said there would be
serious trouble. He said "They
might as we'll dam the Sauk River"
the people that damed up the lake
did noble deed, and the law will
protect them and those that tried to
cause its obstruction better take heed
for they are the real law-breakers.
