pastorate of the first Congregational
church of Sank Centre on his hands
while in charge of the manual train

during the past year and has now
time to devote his energies to the
school work five days in the week
Mr.. Oehler has had signal success
in handling the department of the
schools of which he has had charge.
He has a happy faculty of imbuing
the Young people under him with his
own enthusiasm, and in addition he
is an excellent disciplinarian. The
boys and girls all like him, which
fact is Of great assistance to him in
his work. While his work in the
schools has been uniformly success
full in the past, he will undoubtedly

the coming year.
While Mr. Oehler has resigned the
pastorate of the church, he has not
yet severed his connection with that
organization. He is away on his
regular summer vacation while at
Menomonie, and will preach for a
few Sundays at least, after his re-
turn. Mr.. Oehler informs The Herald
that it is his intention to preach
somewhere Sunday mornings. The
Sank Centre Congregational church
has not yet taken any definite steps
toward securing his services for one
sermon a day during the coming
year, but it may do so.

THE BIG STATE FAIR
MinneSOta'S Great Annual Exhibit
Will Open September 5 at
HamIjne

The Minnesota state fair will open
at Hamline on Monday Sept. 5 and
will continue throughout the week.
1t glorifies the great achievements
of Minnesota industries and shows
one in the most graphic way possible
the commanding position Minnesota
holds in the progress of the nation.
1t tells how Minnesota adds to the
wealth and sustenance of the entire
world.
1t demonstrates that in many fields
of industry Minnesota leads, not only
among its own people, but in the en-
tire universe.
1t is story of progress, of energy,
of proud accomplishment.
1t is a world exposition in itself.
Special rates on all railroads from
stations in Minnesota have been made
for all who will attend the Minnesota
state fair.
Every railroad leading into Minneap-
oils and ST. Paul will charge one and
one-half fares for the round trip, or
three cents mile. This action was
taken at the last meeting of the
Western Passenger Association, when
the managers of the passenger traffic
on all lines voted to make this special
concession on account of the three
state fairs, those of Minnesota, Iowa
and Wisconsin. No other state fairs
in the country are favored in this
way.

tdry Things About J. II.
SimOntOn

In its issue of August 8 the ST.
Cloud Times prints the following
article:
-. ii. Simonton, assessor OF the
township of Sank Centre, was in the
city today. Mr.. Simonton was at
one time the editor of this paper,
having owned it with his brother
Thomas in 1864. The two young
men came here from Pennsylvania
and after time they took r. Chan
ming Morse into partnership with
them. j. II. Simonton sold his in
terests in the paper to N. S. Barnes,
who later disposed of his share to
Thomas Simonton. The latter then
sold the paper to Mr.. Reed from
whom. by detour of several other
men, it finally passed into the hands
of G. f. Macdonald, in 1875.
From here Mr.. SimontOn went tC
Sank Centre where he started the

IN THE GIRLS SCHOOL
Northwestern Radiator COmpdny'S
Radiators are Ordered by
St. Paul Contractor

The Northwestern Radiator Com.
pany scored win this week when
it succeeded in closing a contract
to furnish the radiation for the girls
industrial school now in process OF
construction.
3. A. Derrick, treasurer of the
Radiator Company, infornled The
Herald Tuesday morning that he had
just received an order for $500 feet
of radiators to be used in the four
cottages now in course of construc-
ton 6. A. KEGS G. Co., domestic
engineers, of st. Paul, the firm
which was awarded the contract for
furnishing and installing the heating
plaRspf the cottages, ordered the
radiators for the buildings.
Mr.. Derrick was greatly pleased
over this order, for he had worked
for it for some time, as had several
others connected with the factory.
Mr.. Derrick said he felt that in the
future, Sank Centre radiation would
he used whenever the state erected
additional buildings, for the radia-
tors are the best made and a fair
trial, said Mr.. Derrick, would con-
vince users of that fact.
Another contract that the radiator
company has landed recently is for
$1,000 feet of radiation to be INSTALL
ed in fine new building that is
in process of erection bN~tAlss.W. s,
Mott Company of Minneapolis,
large wholesale firm that handles
mill filings. Mr.. Derrick says there
are now on hand at the factory
enough finished radiators to fill
these two contracts He further
AYERS that he is going after business
all over the country and that it will
be very easy to close good contracts.
The fact of the matter is that the
product of the factory is of such a
high quality that it is easy to sell
goods.
The factory is running a force of
20 men at present and the men are
doing fine work Some of the best
experts in the country are employed
at the works, hence the high grade
OF goods manufactured The outlook
for the concern is bright, and the
indications are that the factory will
have to be enlarged as soon as the
fame of Sank Centre radiators gets
abroad.
