OLD-TIME WEATHER
P. Lamb Tells of Some AtmOs-
pheriC Conditions in the Early
Days Of Stearns County

Wherever two or three are gathered
together discussing that most prolific
of all subjects the weather. there may
"Old Settler" be found with story
more soul-harrowing than the others.
The vile product dished up to Mime
sofa during April has been cussed and
discussed at length here and else
where, and the snow and cold OF Sun
day were the straw that broke the
backs of several thousand human
camels. However, it seems there were
worse things happened to Stearns
county in the early days. So says P.
Lamb. who, just fifty years ago last
Monday, April 20. 1857, arrived at St.
Cloud from California.
Mr.. Lamb AYERS that he and his
party crossed the Mississippi river at
st. Cloud on the ice which had not
then gone out. He has lived in the
county ever since, having been resi-
dent of Sauk Centre since 1866, and
has never seen anything as bad as
that. In January, 1858, there was an
old-fashioned January thaw''-not a
Harry Thaw-during which the ice
in the Sauk river broke up and all
went out Nothing like that, according
to Mr.. Lamb, has since occurred.
The year 1857 was noted for another
thing, namely the first appearance OF
grasshoppers in Minnesota, says Mr..
Lamb. The hard winter following this
devastation made it pretty hard sled
ding for settlers in the new North Star
state that season But Mr.. Lamb,
having lots of pluck like the others,
weathered all the hard luck and worse
weather and is hale and hearty today.

Hon. J. R. Howard Gives a Resume
of the legislatures Work
HOW 1T LOOKS TO HIM
Representative From Stearns Co.,
Tells What lie Thinks About
Lawmakers Record

One of the hardest and most con-
scientious workers in the late legis-
lature was the Hon. John R. Howard
of Sauk Centre. Mr.. Howard
served faithfully and well. in the
House during the recent session and
reflected credit upon himself and his
constituents. In the Minneapolis
Journals review of the work of the
legislature the following compliment
ary mention is made of Mr.. Howard:
John R. Howard headed the road
and bridge committee and was always
active in railroad legislation. His ex-
perience as a former chief clerk of
the House stood him in good stead"
In response to a requessrffom The
Herald, Mr.. Howard has prepared for
publication a resume of the work of
the session as viewed from his stand
point 1t is we'll worth reading. Read
The Herald
4. + !.
Editor of The Herald: The 35th
session of the Minnesota Legislature
was an industrious one, 4SO bills being
passed.
Among the more important ques-
tions were the two-cent passenger rate
bills, the anti-pass bills, the appropria.
tion for roads and bridges, the drain
age bills, the training school removal,
the highway revision bill, the tax COM
bill, the agricultural schools
bill and the bill authorizing the Board
of Control to manufacture binders
mowers and rakes at the Saltwater
prison; also the bill for rock crush
ing plant at the ST. Cloud reformatory,
the crushed rock to be shipped to any
town free of charge, for use on the
public highways. (This bill being
killed by the Senate.)
The township drainage bill is of
special interest to the people Of
Stearns county. AS there was a strong
sentiment in most of the Towns that
desired the enactment of a simple
township drainage law. This subject
was given careful consideration by the
drainage committee of the House of
which l was a member.
The question of improving our pub
lie highways was given very earnest
attention by the House committee on
roads and bridges during the entire
session. AS chairman of that COM
mittee much of the responsibility for
securing some practical legislation
along that line devolved upon me, and
am pleased with the result. There
have been the following laws relative
to our highways enacted.
Hereafter the county board may ap-
point a competent surveyor and road
builder as county superintendent of
highways, who shall lay out and
superintend the construction Of all
bridges and roads. and who shall do
the work of the present county sur
veyor.
The Office of town road overseer is
abolished, and the town supervisors
must appoint a competent road build
er, as inspector, in each township who
is authorized to appoint additional as
sistants subject to the approval of the
town supervisors, who can remove any
Or all of them at any time.
All highway taxes are to be expend-
ed under the direction of one respon-
sible man in each township, and it
is believed that this change will prove
to be a great improvement on our
present highway system, after it has
been given fair trial.

GREATER EXPENSE
Water and Light For fhe City
Will Cost More This Year
THE RATES ARE RAISED
An Advance of Something Like $500
Will Have to be Expended to
Secure These Commodities

An advance of something like $500
is what it will cost to secure light and
water service for the city of Sauk Gen.
tire for the coming year.
That's the ultimatum of the Central
Minnesota Power and Milling Com
pany submitted to the city council at
the regular May meeting Wednesday
night. The figures submitted by the
company were:
WATER SERVICES, 500 per annum
payable monthly.
ELECTRIC LIGHT SERVICE-Arc
Lights, $50 per light with a minimum
OF % lights, any number above that
figure at the same rate.
lncandescent Lights, 16 candle
power, s12 per year; 80 candle power,
$A per year.
Last years water contract was for
$4,000 fiat. This years shows an in
crease Of $500. Last year the lights
cost $S5 per year for arc lights and SIP
a year for incandescents.
This shows total incrsase OF prac-
ticalIy $7oe>t the water and light
service. The city sesanted the prop
osition.
In response to a question by The
Herald why the rates were raised,
Manager T. D. Davidson OF Power and
Milling company said that under the
old contract the company was not
making money and hence the bid was
raised sufficiently to make the busi-
ness paying proposition.
The council appropriated $175 to de-
fray the expenses of delegates OF the
fire department to the state firemen's
convention in st. Cloud in June.
A request from the G. A. R. post
that the council defray the expenses
for carriages for the old soldiers to
ride in on Memorial Day was favor
ably received and will doubtless be
granted
The city hall was rented to George
O'Gara and John Costello for four
months for skating rink. rhe' city
reserving the right to useft when oc-
cassion demanded.
A batch of bills was allowed. The
city clerk was instructed to inform the
Schleusener Hardware company that
their bill was not satisfactory and will
not be accepted.
The city council held a special
meeting Monday night and did few
things. Here they are:
AS the council had not appointed a
city assessor the county auditor named
Hon. ]. R. Howard of this city to fill
the place. When the appointment
came up for consideration Monday
night Mr.. Howard was confirmed by
a vote of to l, Alderman Miller alone
voting "No."
Mayor Wards recommendation that
the salary of the chief of police be in
creased $1,000 per month was turned
down on the ground that it is bad
precedent to set to raise salaries.
But the obsticle was surmounted on
another ground, namely, that the chief
is now doing extra work as superin-
tendent of the water works and also
officiating as fire warden. So he got
the raise after all.
A. F. Warren resigned his position
as street commissioner. Two men
were nominated as his successor,
namely, JOS E. Miller and G. b.
Cleveland Mr.. Miller was elected, re-
ceiving four votes 10 Mr.. Cleveland's
two.
Lucas Kells was unanimously ap-
pointed collector of water taxes, he to
receive 2 peg cent of collections as his
pay. Read The Herald.

WATERv|LLEH HIGH
Wins Game from Cony High
Saturday Afternoon,
Game a Close One With Final
Score 5 10 q.
Taking too Many Chances Costs the
Home Team the Game.

One Of the best baseball games Of
the season was played at the Driving
park Saturday afternoon between the
COny High team and that of the Wat
erVill" High school, and although Cony
was the loser it was only by the mar
row margin of one score. and there
was nothing to be ashamed of in the
defeat.
1t was as pretty a game as one could
wish to see. ana up to the ninth it be-
lOnged to neither WaterVille or COnY.
The visitors came to the bat first and
landed two runs, but from that time
until the eighth not one of them cross
ed the home plate. Cony drew a blank
in the first but run in two men in the
second, and then continued to draw
blanks until the eighth. when she tied
the score again by getting one run to
offset that made by Waterville.
The game at that time was 8 and,
but when Waterville came to bat in
the ninth She pounded out two runs
while Cony could land but one. and the
game was lost. The game was 4 close
one throughout, both teams playing
good ball and with but few errors, and
the principal cause of Conys defeat
was that she took too many chances.
