Freeze Up Proves Fatal to Pish.

Monday morning, January 8,
Mr.. Jenson, of Jensons' Island,
decided to do a little fishing, and
accordingly went down to the
shore near Jim Point and cut a
hole in the ice. Imagine his sur
prise when he was unable to
strike water, but instead he
struck a solid mass of fish backs.
Duputy Game and Fish Warden
Swanson was summoned to Lake
Traverse, where he spent the
better part of three days endeav-
oring, with a large crew of skilled
men to save the fish in that body
of water. The work done by
Mr.. Swanson and his men con-
sisted of cutting holes in the ice
and letting in air, which is fully
as necessary to fish life as it is
to animal life
It seems that Lake Traverse
froze up with rush this year,
and since the first freeze up until
the discovery was made, that
body of water has presented a
solid surface of hard glare ice, to
the exclusion of life giving oxy-
gen, causing the death of
thousands of fish Dead fish are
being taken out of that lake by
the thousands and carted away
by the wagon loads. Just how
much damage has been done can
not be estimated, but that many
thousands have died from as
phixiation is vouched for by re-
liable eye witnesses.

1t will be noticed that $212.O7
Of this amount was paid out in
Milbank
A part of the material purchas
ed for displaying the exhibit is
on hand, stored at Huron for use
the coming year.
We think that no other county
in the state had as fine an exhi.
bit at so low a cost. The cost to
the several counties ran usually
from $500 to $4,000, a portion of
which was in nearly every case
appropriated by the county com
missioners.
Much credit for the tasteful
arrangement and display of the
exhibit is due to Messrs. A. J.
Bleser, A. w Glenn and Mrs.
Glenn, who went over to Huron
before the fair opened and put in
several days unpacking and ar
ranging the exhibit. The thanks
of the citizens of the county are
due to number Of public spirit
ed men of Big Stone City and
Milbank who contributed time,
and teams or automobiles for
gathering exhibits and orna-
mental grains and grasses.
Among these we might mention
County Superintendent Purdy,
John Heffernan and others.
The annual meeting Of the
Grant County Boosters Club is
to be held at Milbank on Tues
day March II, 1912, at which
time officers will be elected and
an opportunity will be given for
any person to make suggestions
in regard to the further work Of
the organization. If it is decided
to take up a state fair exhibit for
1912 then will be the time to do
the preliminary work.

Enjoyable Affair.

! clal CluD Great success ana very
Enjoyable Affair.
The fine suite of rooms recent
ly leased by the commercial club
was formally opened by recep-
tion of an informal character last
Tuesday. In the afternoon the
club rooms were thrown open to
the ladies', who had an opportun-
ity to inspect the building and
enjoy q social time at progressive
cards. Sweet music was fur
nished during the afternoon by
Prof. Hopfner, Guy Stafford, Dee
Harris, Roy Brannon and John
Miller. Refreshments of choco-
late ice-cream were served, and
the ladies quite generally voted
the commercial club a good thing
and they had most enjoyable
afternoon, about Is ladies being
present and participating in the
enjoyment of the occasion.
In the evening the club mem
bers, with a large number of in
vited friends. gathered and en-
jOyed themselves at cards and in
the billiard and reading rooms,
and after similar refreshments
| to that served ia the afternoon
had been partaken of, with the
addition of cigars, Mayor Nee
han called the gathering to order
and in happy manner intro
duced aumber of speakers for
short talks on "the good of the
order " Thad l.. Fuller, George
S. Rix, and G.. S. Amsden, repre-
senting the law and the law max
ers, while w. w. Downie and j
D. Smull for the press, and Rev.
Holgate, for the cloth should
have represented the prophets,
the burden of both the law and
prophesy being that it was good
to be there and that the Mllbank
commercial club could and would
be an instrument of practical
good to the community, not only
in the city but also in the sur
rounding country, and the young
men who had taken upon them
selves the task of securing so
fine home for the club and who
were so successful in their work
were entitled to great deal of
credit. Mr.. r. J Hicks of the
Big Stone commercial club, who
had come up to attend the open
ing extended the greetings of
that body and suggested that
the club could be made helpful
in advancing the moral as we'll as
the commercial interests of the
community, and that this phase
of it's work should not be neglect
ed. The talks were all of an in.
formal character and indicated
that the club could be made q
valuable asset in the growth and
prosperity of the community and
that it would be be we'll in some
manner to secure the interest of
those outside of the city, the
farmers of the community.
Messrs Ferguson, SCHNEIDER,
Ross and Emanuel rendered
some fine songs at the conclusion
of the speeches.
The whole affair was a very
pleasant and successful one,
some one hundred and fifty
members and guests being pres
ent and enjoying the occasion.

iron sheeted covering, and al
though the walls were
touching the good work of
the hosemen stopped the onward
sweep of the flames at this place
and it was realized that the fire
was under control. The building
was occupied by M. E. Fossum as
a shoe store. while the rear of
the building was a store room for
Mr.. Schnabels' furniture store.
When the fire was raging and
the probability that the entire
block would be swept away was
greatest, Mr.. FOssum, the Mar
tens Bros, Miss Laura Rodgers
the contents of her art studio,
and the Misses Olson, tenants
in the rear of the Martens
building, removed their goods
from the buildings, the Martens
brothers also removing their
plate glass windows and doors.
The splendid work of the fire
department during the trying
time, with the mercury down to
20 below and the water freezing
into ice as it fell, was worthy of
commentator. Besides the bat
tie on the north side, the proxi-
nifty of the Larson tailor shop
and the larger frame building to
the rear of it on the south side of
the Schnabel structure made it
necessary for the tiremen to do
considerable har,. work at this
point and prevent the fire from
spreading to the Erlandson &
Johnson store, and this also was
very successfully done.
The city water became ex-
hausted before the fire was fully
under control. but the railroad
pumps were soon brought into
action and good pressure main
tanned. Some criticism has been
made that that the pressure was
not as strong as it should have
been, but it is maintained by
those who'are supposed to kno A,
that a heavier pressure would
haveendangered the bursting of
the hose and that would have been
more disastrous.
During the fire hot coffee was
made by Mesdames Fitch and
Stafford and passed to the firemen
by Messrs. Al Scallon, William
Mount and Miss Hazel Conright.
The heaviest loser in the fire
is Mr.. Schnabel whose large
building and the fine stock OF
furniture it contained was total
loss, as the fire spread SO rapidly
that there was no time after it's
discovery to attempt to save any
of the goods. Mr.. Schnabel's s
books were in the safe and these
were saved, intact, but a number
of the A O. U. w. books, Mr..
Schnabel being tinancier of the
local lodge of this order were des
troyed, the books being too large
to fit in the safe
Andrew Larson, the tailor, re.
moved all of his goods from his
shop, and Erlandson & johnson
also removed a large amount OF
clothing and dry goods from their
building when the fire threaten
ed their building, but the Larson
structure was the only one that
was materially damaged.

A BRYAN DEMONSTRATION.

BALTIMORE, June 23.-W. J. Bryan was almost swept off his feet by the enthusiastic crowds that greeted him on his arrival here this evening from Chicago. The division over the selec- tion of I temporary chairman brought the Nebraskan to the center of the stage and at all events, it seemed to await his coming.
 Bryan said he would fight any prop OsitiOn to make any one not a progress sive, either temporary or permanent chairman of the convention. Person ally" he said T have no objection to Judge Parker"
 Bryan had to shake hands with sev eral hundred people before he reached the auto which took him to his hotel. In the hotel corridor there was another demonstration.
 "Oh, you Bill Bryan" "Whats the matter with Bryan" Your hats in the ring were the cries heard. With Bryan were his wife, his daughter and her husband, MT. and Mrs. Heargraves and his brother Charles Bryan. He said he had made no arrangements to address any gathering during his stay in the city.

BIGGER CAMPUS
Purchase of 160 Acres Adjoining Pres
 ent Grounds.

Following the appropriation of $4O,- 900 for the state university by the special session of the legislature. the board of regents has made arrange ments for the purchase of a block and a half of real estate lying to the east of the campus. One of the objects of the purchase is, of course, to furnish desired room for the growing demands of the university and another is to square out the campus.
 The owner of the property lives in New York and the papers necessary to the transfer of the little have been for Warded for his signature. It is ex- pected that within a few days all the fOrmalities will have been complied with and the title to the property will have passed to the university. The consideration is $7500.
 The fact that an additional approp- riation was needed for the university at this time was due to the fact that in making up his estimate prior to the cOnvening of the regular session Dr. Wilde, the president failed to take into account a half years expense. He had figured the cost of running the only to the first of January when the estimate should have been engagements for the purchase above re- ferred to were completed a couple of days ago at a meeting of the regents.
