time friend, Captain A. F. Price, were
in the city Monday on visit. Cap
tain Price was formerly resident Of
our neighboring county, but about

This is his first visit here since he left
and he expressed himself as greatly
surprised at the turn this country
took for the better just as soon as he
pulled out. Where little shsnties
stood decade ago now stands fine
houses and barns, and there is more
water standing in ponds over the
country, he said, than be ever saw b.
fore. Captain Price was register Of
deeds of Sargent county four years.

Hydraulic Cement Blocks.

Hydraulic Cement Blocks.
Oakes is to have a manufacturing
establishment. We are informed
that number of business men resid-
ing here have united together in the
form of an incorporated company to
carry on the manufacture ofhydraulic
building blocks from cement. They
expect to compete successfully as to
cost, and claim that there is no COM
parison in the relative merits of blocks
made under their system and those
made in any other manner. They
are also far superior to either stone or
brick. The company has bought
four acres of ground near the North
western track on Front street and ex-
poets to have the plant in operation
in about twenty days.

Saturday, and returned Monday &C.
sOompanied BY his wife and children.
He says that during the high wind
sof last week, shack covered with
straw, blew over on a bunch of his
#father-in-law's cattle, killing four out
right and badly manning several
Others.
ss Mr.. Bishop spent Saturday night
with his old friend, B. 81. Tibbetts,
who was so badly burned in the prai-
ne fire of last week. He says there
sisa a chance of tho unfortunate man
1 pulling through, but there are good
many chances against him. Diabetes
and Bright's desease have shown
mild symptoms. The burns on his
back and under his right arm, reach
ing to his abdomen are quite deep,
and it will require the grating of skin
before they heal. His face is badly
burned, and he has slight burns on
top Of his right arm and his right leg.
Mr.. Tibbetts hardly knows how it all
happened. It came and was all over
90 quickly that there was little time
for thought. He had plowed one fur
row and was blowing another dis
tsnce away intending to cheat the
fire with fire, but it came too quickly
for him.
Mr.. Tibbetts has q large host of
friends throughout the county and
state, and they are praying for his
speedy recovery to health and
strength. He will look good, even
with scars, If he only gets we'll.

Obituary.

Master Lynn Eldin Bolts, boy
we'll known to and much beloved by
children of our city, passed away very
suddenly in the hospital at Hankinson,
Tuesday night May2, at 1l:30 p m.
This sudden close of bright and
hopeful young life was due to results
of kick in the face by pet colt with
which he was playing on the proceed.
ing Friday.
Lynn was born September l8, 1891 i,
at Waconia, Minnesota. At about four
years of age he moved with his par
ents to Oakes. During the past two
years he has been living with Mr.. E. NJ.
Strong near Hankinson, aud attend
ing school. His friends had been en-
couraging and planning his life for
the work of the ministry for which he
gave much promise. In disposition,
he was kind and gentle. In his
studies he was bright and quick to
learn. He was a strong believer in
Christ and showed an especial liking
for the Bible and its study. BE was
we'll acquainted with the Bible and
very much enjoyed reading any re-
ligious literature.
The accident occurred on the farm
of Mr.. Strong near Hankinson. The
injured lad was removed to the hos
pital as soon as possible where every
thing possible vas done to restore
him but to no purpose as it seemed
his work on earth was done and he
was wanted to add new strength to
the chorus of praise above.
He endured his suffering with fort
itude worthy of an older person. He
expressed his readiness to meet his
Savior but did not like to leave his
mamma and friends.
After the singing of song and
prayer, he passed away very peace
fully to the heavenly mansions, to be
with his Savior where everyone who
lives. with trust in the Savior may
hope to meet Him.
We believe that Master Lynn is this
day
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast.
and he is one of
The jewels, precious Jewels
His loved and his own.
Who like the stars of the morning
His bright crown adjoining
Shall shine in their beauty
Bright gems for his crown. s*+

Great CIergue Failure,

But let me give you a word about the
origin of this great American property,
which is now operating here on Canadian
territory. 1t began with a New England
man named Clerg1e, and was built up by
him with Philadelphia capital. The town
of Sault Sainte Marie. Canada, had started
TO build canal to use the power of the
St. Mary's river for its water works, lights
and street cars. It had expended about
900 when II got into financial difficulties
Then came Mr. F. II. Clergue, an Amerl-
can promoter and investor who was looking
up water powers and other possible specula-
tions He offered TO assume the debt giving
the town bonds for what it had spent. and
In return he was TO have exclusive right to
the water power and the other concessions
The proposition was agreed to- He finished
the canal, and started one enterprise after
another. He interested American capital in
his propositions, and gradually increased
his capitalization. as he added the various
plants, until at last the capitalization was
over 100000. The most OF this stock was
sold in the United States.
In the meantime Clergue had secured con-
cessions for the railroad and had begun 10
build It. He had built his pulp mill and got
great concession OF timber land for that
He had bought some OF the best nickel
properties about Sudbury. He started a
great smelter there. intending TO reduce
the matte by electricity generated through
the power plant here, putting up enormous
machinery for that purpose. This was a
failure. At least IL has been so up to this
time.
AS Mr.. Clergue went on he found IT diff
fcult TO make ends meet He paid divi-
bends, so it is said, out Of the capital stock
and borrowed millions outside When his
notes came due he had no funds 20 meet
them. The company went into the hands OF
receiver and the assets were bought in
for something like one-tenth OF the amount
OF the stocks and bond issue. Since then
the company has been taken out Of the
hands Of the receiver. II has been reorgan-
lied, and It is still operated and owned by
the Lake Superior corporation. Mr. Clergue
Is still on the board Of directors, but he has
no active connection with the management
Of the works.
The real manager now is Mr.. Sawyer. q
