Drowning Narrowly
Averted at the Lake

Earl Barr, son OF c. G. Barr, came
very near losing his life by drowning
at Lake Kampeska last Sunday. His
father has gasoline motor boat and
it was anchored to buoy a few rods
out from shore. Earl discovered that
the boat was fast filling with water
caused by the high waves and took
3 row boat and started for the motor
boat, but he had not been out long be-
fore his row boat capsized and he was
compelled to swim to shore in the
high waves. If he had not been a
good swimmer he would no doubt
have been drowned as the waves
were the highest this season.
The motor boat broke anchor and
drifted to shore and only suffered
small damages from the displacement
of the engine.

Communication From

Governor Yessey has issued the fol-
lowing letter to the commercial clubs
Of the state: VI
In the organization of our immi-3
grafton bureau, our first work will be
to look after the retention of the;
homesteaders turnout the western
part Of the state that are anxious to
stay, providing they can get labor to
carry them thru this very critical per-
iod in the history Of that part Of the
state.
I've hope that the commercial clubs
will enter into hearty cooperation
with us In this effort to bring pressure
to bear upon the city councils to do,
as much public improvement in the
cities as can consistently be done in
the next twelve months and also to-
be interested in the employment of
these worthy people that they should
have. preference over outsiders Or
possibly the unmarried working men
CT the community.
q believe it is better to create n
telling in the minds of these people
that the state is interested in their
welfare and wants to keep them here,
than it would be to spend money en-
deavoring to get new settlers into our
state.
we trust we will have the hearty
cooperation of the commercial clubs
in the state in this line of work.
