pany Is having a time of it in St.
Cloud, where the Tri-State Company
is seeking admission. The North
western is using full page advertise
ments in the st. Cloud papers to show
the public why, in its Judgment,
second line should not be admitted.
On Friday of last week The Times
and Journal-Press each contained two
full page advs. The fight appears to
be waxing warm.
Watch the Golden Rule Store win
dows this week for some more great
bargains.
That new hotel project that has
been talked for long time in St.
Cloud seems to be about to material
ike. The latest proposition is for the
citizens of the county seat town to
buy site and present it to outside
parties who will build and operate a
first class house. The purchase price
has been raised and it is expected the
building will soon be erected. The
site is the corner across from the
present hotel and on which the old N,
P. Clarke building now stands.

The Monarch elevator at Stiles sta
ton, five miles west on the Northern
Pacific, burned to the ground We'd
nesday morning. 1t is total loss.
The fire was discovered by A. d. Car
penter, who lives a short distance
north, about 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning. He went to the scene but
could do nothing as there was no
water supply. The building is several
years old and was valued at about
$4,000. The motive power was a gas
oline engine. 1t is not likely that
elevator will be rebuilt.
Ransom Buck has sold his Fairy
Lake farm to an Iowa man and will
leave this vicinity in the not far dis.
tant. future. Mr.. Buck has lived
here for thirty years, and for the past
six years, he says, he has not been off
his farm for single night. Mr..
Buck is in his Send. year but does not
look it, being well, and strong as a
man of fewer years. Mr.. Buck will
probably go to St. Paul and live with
his daughter. He is one of the old
and highly respected citizens of Sank
Centre and vicinity.
DR.. A. G. Chesley of Minneapolis,
member of the State Board of Health.
visited Sank Centre Monday to look
over the situation relative to scarlet
fever. In company with DR.. J. NJ.
McMasters, Health Officer of the city
OF Sank Centre, DR.. Chesley visited
localities where there have been and
are leases of the disease and gave
some advice as to how it should be
handled and as to what precautions
should be taken. There are at pres
ent three cases in this city, all in one
family, but there does not seem to
be any danger of an epidemic.
Never mind what kind of bait

The work of replanking the Main
street bridge over Sank Lake, delayed
for time by the non-arrival of part
of the material, was completed last
week. The new floor is composed of
four inch tamarack planks, laid
quarter of an inch apart SO as to per-
nit the seepage of water through the
interstices. A good job has been done
and the new flooring should last a
good many years. Street Commission
er Geo. M. Rice supervised the work,
which fact is sufficient guarantee of
its substantial character.
