of the Canadian government for duty
as a lehtship at Samhro, the en-
trance to Halifax harbor The name
of her master was Captain McBeth,
and his duties and those of the crew
would have been finished in twenty
four hours with the delivery OF the
iightship in Halifax harhor
The lightship sailed from Greenock
on April 25th. and called at Queens
town, sailing from that port on AprH
gath for Halifax. The voyage from
Queenstown to st Johns, at WHICH
port the lightship was forced to call
on account of depleted coal bunkerss
occupied twenty dayhs. For week
the lightship was damned in the Ice
off the New Foundland coast There
her coal supply was SO diminished that
when she finally effected passage
into St Johns harbor she had onlA
three tons of coal left in her bupkers,
When the lightship reached that port
on sunday, May 17th she was laid
alongside the steamer Beilaventure,
from which ship she coaled. on Tues
day she sailed from st. Johns for Hal
flax and the first that was heard OF
her was when the Dufferin, this morn
ing, reported having picked up the dead
bodies of three of the crew, She was
due at Halifax today.
1t is said there were at least twenty
persons on board the i'll fated craft
none Of whom have been accounted
for. The finding OF the ships two
lifeboats battered into fragments by
the surf is positive proof that the ma
1ority, il not all, of the missing have
persisted. No trace has yet been found
of the lightship's dinghy the third
boat carried on the wrecked craft,
But the dinghy would hold no more
than two or three.

worst spots along the whole Nova

Commercial Club
In Annual Session
Officers Elected; New Members Ac-
cepted; Home Coming Week
| Discussed
F. R. LOBDELL PRESIDENT
Council Asks Club To Consider RI
quest Made For Franchise For
Gas Plant

The annual meeting of the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club was held
in the club rooms last evening. The
yearly report of the Club was read
and approved and the following Of
fcers elected for the coming year:
Pres, Frank Lobdell, First Vice-Pres.
A. C. Doliff, Second Vice-Pres., w.
A. Brand, Sec., A. j. White, Financial
Sec. and Treas, H. M. Aune. The
membership of the Club was increased
by the acceptance of several new
members.
Two topics were brought before
the Club for discussion. The first of
these was the advisability of having
a home coming week the first week in
June to celebrate Redwood Falls
fiftieth anniversary. The practicable
ty of bringing the University Chau-
tauqua here the same week was also
discussed. This course offers a week
of first class entertainment and re-
quires guarantee of only three hdn-
dred dollars from the city. 1t is prob
able that if the change can be made
without encroaching upon the rights
of the regular Chautauqua company
that this will be done.
The City Council put before the
Club for consideration the request
made some time ago that franchise
be granted by the city of Redwood
Falls for a gas plant to be installed
here. The matter will be further dis
cussed before a decision is reached.
