TIE PlCKlING STATION
An Industry that Will Be
Profitable to Cucum-
ber RaiSerS

At a meeting OF the directors of the
Commercial club In the Offices OF
Chairman N. N. Bergheim Tuesday
afternoon, E. Van Voorhis, of the
picking firm of Van Voorhis & John
son Of Minneapolis, came to an agree
ment with the board, by which the
company agrees to put up q picking
station in this city providing the
Commercial club furnishes the lumber
and site and secures contracts with
the farmers and gardeners of this
county for the sowing of hundred
acres in cucumbers, to raise same
and sell exclusively to the local plckl-
ing station at contract price, schedule
OF which was run in an issue of this
paper not long ago. The site of the
station will be just east of the Com
mercial clubs elevator near the old
mainline on Broadway east, and the
building will be 36x74 feet with H.
foot posts. It will cost about 500
completed. If the company operates
the picking station five years in
succession the building will belong to
it, otherwise the commercial club will
become the owner of same. :.
The proposition looked very good
10 tho UOarO Ol u1EoCCOIo VI tuo O1uOs
but of course had to come up tor
ratification by the club at last nights
meeting, too late for publication.
Supt. H. E. White suggested that
the Commercial club lease some tracts
OF land and turn it over to the school
boys to raise cucumbers on, and as
the pickling firm agrees to furnish the
cucumber seed. which costs seventy
fie cents per pound. and requires from
l 1.2 to 2 pounds to the acre, taking
their pay for it when the cucumbers
are marketed, the boys will be able to
make little money for themselves
during vacation. It would also help
to get the required acreage to be
contracted for. Vacant lots can be
readily turned to account if the
owners are willing to wait until the
fall to get paid for rental of same.
The matter of holding county
fair in the future was taken up by the
Commercial club at its meeting last
night. While it is thought that it IS
at present too late to plan for such
fair this year, it is practically certain
that a street fair with county fair
features will be given this fall.

DOMkf SOME WRESTLER
Lafond, Local Champion,
Unable to Win Handi-
cap Match

That" q mat artist, who is able to
stay 10 1.2 minutes with Gotch is
necessarily quite we'll versed IN the
finer points of tie wrestling game was
proven only too clearly at the Milo
before a large audience Monday even.
ing, when Paul Domke of Pipestone,
Mlnn., who accomplished that feat,
threw Louis LaFond, the local
champion, pinning bis shoulders to
the mat three times in 16 IL
minutes.
Undoubtedly LaFond could have
stayed with Domke for a longer period
had he renamed on the defense
he did not do after the first fall had
been scored by Domke in II minutes
on body and half Nelson, as COM
mencing both the second and third
rounds he became aggressive, his oh.
ject being to get fall or his opponent
and thereby win the handicap,
Domke having agreed to throw him
three times IN one hour. This, how
ever, worked to the advantage of the
Pipestone man, giving him better
chance to get good hold, and he
brought LaFond down on the mat for
the second fall with body hold,
in two minutes. The third fall
Domke secured with crotch hold
in 3 1-2 minutes.
The work preceding the first fall
was the one in which the local
wrestler showed up best. Several
times in this round when it looked as
though Domke was certain to pin his
shoulders to the mat LaFond wriggled
out of the dangerous hold, the local
boy getting several hands for bis
good work. The match was clean
one, all unnecessary roughness being
eliminated, and no unfair advantage
was taken by Domke, who was the
heavier of the two by from twenty
five to thirty pounds.
The preliminarles to the handicap
match was a wrestling bout between
Jay Hogle and E. Young and boxing
match between Fred Grelsh and Glare
McPherson The wrestling bout went
but one fall, when Hogle brought his
opponent down with full Nelson.
Young bad one of his shoulders In.
jured IN this fall SO it was called.
The boxing match was spirited one,
the boys giving good exhibition.
It was called q draw.
Dr., j. p. Chance of Royalton re-
fereed the contests.
