DI m Err TO DtTfRLY
Small Party Of Friends Enter
tains Minneapolis Man

A few of Sank Centres business
and professional men whose good for
tune it has been to know f. c. Deter
", late superintendent of construc-
ton at the Home School for Girls,
rendered him an informal dinner at
the Palmer House Tuesday evening.
John Straiton, foreman of the force
of plumbers at the school, was also a
guest. Covers were laid for nine.
The party sat down at 9 o'clock and
an excellent menu was served by the
hotel in its well known excellent man
ner. The affair was strictly informal
and the menu was discussed and en-
joyed while repartee and laughter
went round the board. Cigars fol-
lowed and the sociabilty continued
until after eleyen O'Clock. Mr.. Deter
~ left on the early train Wednesday
morning for his home in Minneapolis
where on this morning he began work
on another contract where he receives
even higher pay than he did here.
Mr.. Deterly came to Sank Centre
June last and has.consequently been
here for nearly nine months. During
that time Mr.. Deterly demonstrated
beyond question his ability in his
special line Of work and also that lie
is one Of the finest men tomeet Soc
tally that has ever been in Sank Cen
tire. It is with regret that his friends
here let him depart. But they know
that his work here done in the best
possible manner, lias been completed
and that many positions are open to
him al the time.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
Meets for the First Time in Its
New Quarters
GOOD MEETING Held
eastman Bill is Endorsed and Com
mittee Appointed to Purchase
Additional Furniture

The Commercial Club met in its
new quarters las. Friday evening for
the first time. T he new location
furnishes much more commOdions
and convenient place than did the
old. The hall is the one formerly oc-
cupied by the Knights of Pythias IN
the Cauglren building on Main street.
The club there has one large room
with good sized reception room, ante
room and two cloak rooms, also a
dining hall with kitchen and all nec-
essary appliances. The members felt
at home last Friday night in their
new quarters and many were the ex-
pressions of satisfaction relative to
the hall.
Additional furniture is now needed
to properly furnish the hall, and a
committee consisting of B. f. Du-
Bots, F. w. Sprague and DIR. A. F.
Moynihan was appointed to make the
necessary purchases The new furn-
ishings, it is thought, will be in place
by the date of the next meeting,
namely the second Friday in March
The question of organizing boys
club as sort of auxiliary to the
Commercial Club was discussed at
some length, differing opinions being
expressed as to the desirability OF
such an organization. The matter
was finally referred to committee
consisting of J. B. Schoenhoff, Thos
Sullivan and M. d. Aygarn, to in.
yestigate the matter and report at
the next regular meeting.
The report of the committee ap
pointed to supervise the moving from
the old quarters was received and &C.
copied and vote of thanks was voted
the committee.
The following new members were
C. E. Bohall, M. G. Kelsey, DR.. III. l.
Lamb, Sydney T. Mann, Henry MANN
The eastman bill came up for con
sideration and after some discussion
motion was adopted endorsing the
measure and instructing the secre-
tary to transmit copy of the resolu.
tion to Senator ]. j. Ahmann and
Representative Frank E. Minette
with the request that they support
the bill.
A batch of bills was allowed, after
which adjournment was taken.

passes is up to the proper or standard
or lie knows the reason why.
The thoroughness with which the
work has been performed is evidenced
particularlysin the attics Of the build
ings where the galvanized iron yenti-
lating flues are located. The publish
er of The Herald has personally and
critically examined these flues and
can truthfully say that he never saw
finer er more substantial work. And
the temptation to slight things is
likely to be great where the work is
concealed in an attic.
Another feature of this years con-
structive work is the personnel of the
men who have been in charge and
who have done the actual work. The
Messrs. Skooglun are gentlemen in
every sense of the word and it is a
pleasure to know them. Mr.. Deter
ly, who for nearly nine months has
practically made his home in Sank
Centre with apartments al the Palm
er House, is gentleman, well edu-
Gated man, highly competent in his
line, man of strict integrity and a
prince to know in social way, as
many Sank Centre business and pro-
fessionai men can and do testify.
They will miss Mr.. Deterly's genial
personality in the months to come.
The men who have performed the
actual work of construction, from
bricklayer, mason, carpenter, to plumb
er and the rest, have been of the
same character. Especially is this
true of John StraiIon, plumbing fore
man and the other young men under
him. They are all gentlemen in the
best sense of the work.
The new buildings add materially
to the appearance Of the plant. and
when the grounds are graded, as they
probably will be in the coming sea-
son, the beauty and attractiveness Of
the site for which Nature has done SO
much will be greatly enhanced.
The cost of the lev buildings is as
follows: administrator building,
s25, 600: hospital, s2S, 900; cottages.
about $4,000 each; chapel, $4,000.
The Board OF Control asks for an APP
preparation of s29s. 1000. 90 for the next
two years. This sum includes $685.
10000 for four cottages; 100000
addition to the hospital; a $4,000. 90
addition 10 the chapel: central heat
ing plant costing s42, 10000 and COW
barn at $4,000.

came as a complete surprise. When
the suffrage bill came over from the
House, it's friends supposed that it
would take the usual course of meas
ures passed by the representatives
that is; be referred to the proper COM
mittee-but instead Senator G. I'll.
Sullivan of Saltwater moved that the
bill be rejected. There was conster-
nation i'm the camp of the suffragists,
as several of their number were alb
sent. Senator Ole o. Sageng, COM
mander-in-chief of the suffrage forces,
demanded a call of the Senate and
announced that he would keep it in
session till all were present or ac-
counted for. T he sergeant-at-arms
and his deputies got busy rounding
as they might only 81 members could
be mustered After three hours of
suspense, during which hunger seized
the imprisoned Solons-t h battle
coming at noon-Senator Sageng Weld
ed, permitting a vote. Thirty-one
members voted to reject the bill,
twenty-five to receive it. Thereupon,
with loook of triumph on his face,
Senator Sullivan moved that the vote
be reconsidered, saying, shut / hope
the motion will not prevail" and thus
the issue cannot be revived at this
session of the legislature.
What the suffragettes are now say
ing about Senator Sullivan and the
thirty senators who voted with him
would make far more spicy reading
matter.

WORK ABOUT DONE
Contractors Have Nearly finished
Their job
GIRLS no NE SCHOOL
New Buildings at the institution
Are Practically Ready for
Their Occupants

The new buildings at the Minnesota
Home School for Girls are about ready
for their occupants. Cottages No. 5
and 6 we're last week turned over to
the state by the contractors. They
can bafoccupied as soon as the furn-
isi1fEs 4fe placed. The hospital has
been occupied for the past fortnight.
q little more work remains to be
done on the administration building
BY the first of March it will be ready
to be turned over to the state. All
that now remains to be done on this
structure is little work by the car
penters and the painters, mere finish
ing, that's all. AS soon as this is
done the superintendent can move in
and occupy the exceedingly fine quart
ers the state has provided.
With the completion of the new
structures, there will be far more room
for the accommodation of the wards
of the state. AT the present time
there are over 125 girls quartered in
the four buildings now in use. AS
part of one is used for the superin-
tendent and the business office of the
institution, the crowding is great
and the discipline of the institution
resultingly interfered with. Cottages
No. and 6 will relieve this conges-
tion and when the superintendent oc-
cupies the fine administration build
ing, which has been described in The
Herald, the cottage now occupied by
that official will have more room.
The state has been well served by
the contractors for these buildings,
Skooglun Bros. of Minneapolis. They
are able and conscientious contractors
of years OF experience and have put
nothing but first class material into
the structures, all of which are SUI
perior to those erected two years ago.
Skooglun Bros. have carried out the
specifications for these buildings in
eyery detail, thus giving the state ex.
actly what it called for.
To. Mr.. F.. &c. Deterly, superinten-
dent of construction, is due great
credit for the able, workmanlike and
conscientious manner in which the
buildings have been erected and fin
ished. Mr.. Deterly is Architect
Johnson's right hand man, a man OF
ability, integrity, and long years OF
experience. Mr.. Deterly has been
ton the job from the start, and
whenever he found, as he did occa-
sionally find, man who was shirk-
ing or doing work below the high
standard desired, that man had either
to do his work right or quit. Any
job Of work on which Mr.. Deterly

DECISION TWO TO ONE
SOphomores and Freshmen Clash
Soon for Honor of Having
Names on Cauehren Cup

The second round in the joint de
bate in the Sank Centre high school
was fought last Monday night. Tbs
opposing forces were teams represents
ing the Junior and the freshman
classes. The latter won by score Of
two to one after having nobly defend
ed the negative Of the question:
Resolved, That the federal govern
ment should own and operate all i'm

The winning freshman team was
composed of Kenneth McCullom, Lena
Smith and Margaret Hilsdale.
The losing junior team was: Floyd
Parkinson, Lillian Porter and Grace
Noel.
The Judges were f. w. Sprague, a.

/ The joint debate thus far is stand
off. The sophomores won the first
round for the affirmative of the ques-
tion, defeating the seniors. Now
come the freshmen with a victory
over the juniors. for the negative.
The two winning teams will clash on
March Il in the final set-to, the win
ner of which is entitled to have it's
names engraved on the Caughren cup.
Monday evenings debate was good
one. A large and enthusiastic aud
ienee was present and was hugely en-
tertained throughout. The debaters
TOOK up the question in somewhat
different manner than did the clash
ing teams of the week before, using
some new arguments and clothing
the old ones in different raiment.
There were but two boys entered in
the debate, one on each side. Floyd
Parkinson brayely led t h e junior
forces, while Kenneth McCullom was
at the head of the freshmen aggrega-
ton. These two representatives OF
the sterner sex looked a bit lonesome.
but they went at the debate with
just as much yigor as they probably
would have done had all the particle
pats been Of the male persuasion.
The young ladies' had their matter

matte manner and made a good APP
pearance, though one of them did not
speak loud enough to be heard in all
parts of the room.

the debaters disposed of the weighty
questions that have frazzled t h .

and made good impression on the
audience. e l. e y undoubtedly re-
ceived some experience which will
stand them in good stead later in
school life as well as in the actual
| life that lies beyond the class room
and the labatory.
The decision OF the Judges gave
general satisfaction. The freshmen
