SITES SUBMITTED TOO COSTLY
State Board of Control May Turn
Down All Applications for WOm-
ans RefOrmatOry

Some city not yet heard of as an
applicant for the location of the pro-
posed state refOrnatory for women
may get the institution.
This is the belief of several state
officials who have been watching with
interest the efforts of the members of
the State Board of Control to obtain
a site among the IS offered.
The legislative appropriation for the.
site is $4,000 and in each of the
places so far visited by G. E. Vasaly
and other members of the board of
control the real estate values have
jumped toward the limit set by the
appropriation.

that is alive to the opportunities and
which wants the institution to get it

day.
No appropriation has yet been made.

Sank Centre was one of the appli-
cants for the institution but the Board
intimated tina they did not desire to get

Land can be secured adjacent to this
city at very moderate price-no in
fated valuations.

Sank River Will Not Be Straight
ened Between Sank Centre and
MelrOse-Expense $4,000

The proceeding on County Ditch
No. "a have been dropped by the
Board of County Commissioners. Fiji
teen hundred dollars bonds were put
up at the time the petition was filed
but the expense of surveying and
viewing the ditch ran up to $4,000
and at a meeting of the Board on
August oath, notice was given that an
additional bond in the sum of $1,000
would have to be deposited by the pc
titioners in order for the work to
be carried on. This was not done
and the proposed Strengthening of the
Sank river between Sank Centre and
Melrose will be given up for the
present at least. The first report
of the viewing board stated that the
land along the proposed ditch would
be benefited to the extent of $4,000
and according to the surveyors report
the cost of digging the ditch would
would amount to $4,000. At that
rate the ditch was considered a very
good investment but subsequent inves-
| tigation showed the benefit to the land
would only amount to $4,000, or 3d.
600 less than the estimated cost OF the
ditch, and as the $1,000 bond had not
been filed within the 10 days specified
the proceedings were dismissed
The twenty-five petitioners are "out'
their $4,000 and practically nothing
accomplished but the satisfaction of
knowing that it couldn't be DONE"

.THREEMEy| THROWN
!. into BIRCH LAKE
JUDGE DIEHL, L. w. AND C. C.
GINGERY HAVE EXCITING
EXPERIENCE
The BATH WAS A COLD One
ACCIDENT HAPPENED FIFTEEN
RODS FROM SHCRE-ALL
GOOD SWIMMERS

Saturday afternoon, Judge Diehl,
L. w. Gingery and C. C. Gingery,
father of L. w., preambulated out to
Birch Lake on a fishing excursion.
All the gentlemen named are ex-
pert anglers and greater at telling
fish stories. Their women folks ex-
pected them to return with fnny
specimens aglore and lot of new re-
marks as to how the big one got away.
They returned early in the evening
in bedragged and sodden condition,
minus fish and strangely reticent as
to their experience.
The reason was that when they
reached the lake they embarked in
one of the new-fangled steel fishing
boats and having reached a favorable
location about 10 or IL rods from
the shore in about 20 feet of water,
Mr.. Gingery, ST., threw out the an
Choir, and one of the party, after bait
ing his hook, threw it into the water,
and then laid down the pole to attend
to some minor details of the ceremony.
A big black bass snatched the bait,
jerked the pole out of the boat and
dragging it after him, started on
pleasure excursion across the lake.
L. W., who would rather lose the sale
of a farm than a big fish, leaning
far over the edge of the boat made an
acrobatic effort to reach the pole and
-Zowie the boat turned turtle and
the party were precipitated into 20
feet of water.
The first thought of the party, of
course, was the safety of C. c. Gin
gerry, who is II years of age, and
who was clad in a heavy overcoat and
long fishing boots. They cast appre-
hensive chances around but could not
fdiscern him and then looking ahead
they discovered him making for the
shore with the famous Australian ov-
er-hand stroke that made the "boys"
appear like amateurs The eight rods
they had to swim did not bother the
fishermen much, but the two rods they
had to wade through the mud and
rushes tested their wind and endur-
ance. AS a wader, as we'll as a SWIM
mer, the 77-year-old man made the
younger men look like dubs. They all
reached the shore in safety and after
registering vow to never go fish
ing again except in fiat-bottomed
wooden scow, they boarded their car
and wended their way home. No one
received any damage except wet
ting, but if all the party had not been
expert swimmers far different story
would have been written.

SAUK CENTRE IN THE MOVIES
Picture Taken Three Weeks Ago
Thrown on Screen at Caughren
Theatre Last Evening

One rainy Saturday several weeks
weeks ago camera man and director
representing a Twin City Motion
Picture concern came to Sank Centre
for the purpose of taking 1000 feet
of film of the various points of inter-
est about Sank Centre. This was in
accordance with a contract made with
the business men week previous. The
pictures were thrown on the screen at
the Caughren Theatre last evening be-
fore two packed houses. The pictures
demonstrated one thing to a certain
ty, that high grade motion pictures
cannot be taken in the rain, judging
by results achieved in this city. Be-
fore they started work here men were
asked if they could take satisfactory
picture under the existing conditions
and they said they could. Some of the
pictures were taken on Monday, which
was bright and clear and they show
up very satisfactorily. Manager Du-
beau is in no way responsible for the
unsatisfactory pictures.
The Herald would recommend to
any neighboring towns who may be in
terested in motion pictures of their
city to insist that the pictures be tax
en- on a bright and clear day.

TODD CO. FAIRaA-BIG SUCCESS
Large Attendance on Wednesday Will
Likely Save Financial LOss-Sauk
Centre Delegation

The Todd County Fair this year was
an unqualified success although they
had only one day on which the weather
favored it.
Wednesday was the big day, nearly
1000 being in attendance. Some of
their attractions failed to materialize.
J. J. Hill who was billed to speak
in the forenoon was called to New
York in connection with the billion
dollar loan for the allies although
Judging by the prosperity manifested
he could have raised the amount right
in Long Prairie.
The attractions were of a high Or
der, and different from those usually
offered by fairs. The exercises of the
school children were very fine and
brought forth round after round of
applause. Farmer Kerslate and his
trained pigs was one of the most novel
attractions we ever saw on the boards.
The exhibits, except in corn, were as
good as any we ever saw at a county
fair in this part of the state. Those
of fruit, poultry and the school exhib-
it being specially noticeable.
The ball game between Sank Cen
tire and Long Prairie resulted in a vic
tory for the Dwellers after a hard
fought ten-inning game, three to two.
Ten cars went up from Sank Cen
tire. Many planned to attend but had
roads and other unavoidable circum-
stances cut down the number.

DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTERTAINED

On the afternoon of Friday the Com
mercial club rooms were the scene of
one of the prettiest social functions of
the season, when Mesdames Barto and
Lewis were "at home" to about one
hundred and fifty of their friends. The
fragrance of profusion of sweet
peas, deftly arranged in the reception
room, together with the sweet strains
of music and the cordial welcome of
the hostesses placed the guests at ease
at once and gave promise of most
delightful afternoon. Entering the
spacious room which was the social
center, the guests were charmed by
the beautiful floral effect secured by
tn artistic arrangement of maroon dah-
las and asters in Japanese baskets
artfully suspended from the ceiling
and walls. Occupying the center of
the room stood long library table
graced by bouquets of exquisite pink
dahlias and white asters. A mass of
maroon dahlias embedded in a bower
of asparagus greens covered the shelf

were most enjoyable. Miss Linton
gave on a Victrola several beautiful
musical selections, which were appre-

hour of pleasant social intercourse
dainty refreshments, consisting of ice
cream, cakes and frappe, were served
by eight young ladies. The guests

ton of the success Of the gracious eff
forts of the hostesses in giving them

Wednesday afternoon while M. c.
Kelsey was taking a quiet fish on
Sank Lake, just beyond the Home
School for Girls he came in contact
with a stranger who was hunting
clans, in the hope no doubt
that he might locate one with a good
sized pearl inside. Pearl fishing is
quite an extensive industry along
some portions of the Mississippi river,
particularly near Lacrosse, Wis, and
perhaps this gentleman is the fore
runner of a new business enterprise
to be launched on Sank lake and river.
