New News Of Yesterday
Fanciful Dreams
Which Came True
By Holland

"When I started out as an engineer
engaged to make with others the sur
vev of the first railroad line west Of
Pittsburgh, had in mind a sugges-
tion which had been made ten years
earlier by a citizen Of Wisconsin. in
yolving the construction of a railroad
from some point near the head waters
,f the Mississippi or perhaps at some
port on Lake Michigan westerly until
the Pacific coast was reached said
the late James d. Laying to me. about
The time when announcement was
made of the purpose of the Chicago,
MINNEAPOLIS and st. Paul Railroad TO
extend its lines until they reached
the Pacific coast.
II remember having heard some Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad people dis
cussing the proposition made by this
citizen of Wisconsin. They were dis
tosed to laugh at it, saying, What
visionary ideas get into the minds of
men who have not the slightest un-
derstanding of a subject which they
profess to have mastered
Many years later, when | knew
more about the early history of the
agitations which had the construction
of railroads to the Pacific coast in
view, l realized that those men Of an
earlier day had a pretty fair compre-
hension of the subject. That is all the
more remarkable because some of the
propositions advanced by them were
made public in the very infancy oi
railroad construction of the United
States.
Il recall now three different propo-
sitions, different in the sense thai
they were advanced by different men
and at different times, and all of then
before California was ceded to the
United States from Mexico. The
propositions in those early days
seemed to be the merest chimeras oi
the visionary dreams OF not well-bal.
anced minds. Yet they all contained
fundamental features which after.
ward we're adopted by the promoters
Of railroads to the Pacific which were
built.
'All Of these propositions suggested
that the government grants of land
10 the incorporators of the Pacifi,
which were built
All of these propositions suggest
ed that the government give grants
of land to the incorporators of ths
Pacific railroads. One man went 81
far as to promise to build the road il
the government would grant hin
thirty miles OF land on each side oi

by Congress, nevertheless it con

motion of the Union Pacific possible
Another of these men of the earl
day actually promised, II Congress
gave him the land grant, to build
railroad which would make il pos
sible for a passenger to go from tn
Atlantic to the Pacific in five days

REMAINS ARE SHIPPED IVES,
Mrs. Eta Wilson Dies at Home of
Her Mother, Mrs. L. L. Ander-
son, Monday, August 80.

Mrs Eta Anderson of Marcus,
Washington, died at the home of her
mother, Mrs L. L. Anderson, of
West Union township, Monday after
noon, Aug. 30,1915.
The deceased lost her husband last
November since which time she has
been in poor health, and she came
back about three weeks ago to her
girlhood home in the hope that amid
old scenes and familiar surroundings
she might improve as she had on
previous visits. Tubercular and heart
trouble, was the cause of her demise.
Mrs. Wilson was born at Lewiston,
Me-, May II, 1864. She came west
with her parents in 1867, and located
in West Union township where she
grew to womanhood. She was edu-
Gated in the rural school and the st.
Cloud Normal, and after graduation
taught in the home district for num-
Der of successive terms. She was unit
ed marriage to Frank A. Wilson,
Aug. 2, 1880, and for the past 90
years has resided in Washington. She
was the mother of four children. d.

YOUNG LAD is CALLED HOME
Frederick Robbers Dies After Short
Illness With Acute Appendicitis
and PeritOnitis.

The residents of Sank Centre were
severely shocked Wednesday morning
when the news was spread that Fred
erick William Robbers, the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Robbers, had
died the night before at the Lamb hos
pital.
1t was not generally known that
Fred was i'll. The Herald understands
that he had been employed on the
Caughren farm in Getty and came
home Friday about noon feeling some
what i'll. His mother and sisters were
visiting with relatives near Little
Sank and his father of course was on
his mail run on the branch. Mrs. S.
P. Hansen noticed him go into the
house, and not seeing anything more
of him an investigation was made on
Saturday morning, at which time he
was found to be severely i'll. DIR.
Lamb was called and Immediately had
the young man removed to the hos
pital. A diagnosis developed the fact
that he had very severe attack of
acute appendicitis and general per-
itonitis. Everything possible was
done, of course, but death claimed
him about 1890 Tuesday evening. His
heart broken mother and sisters were
at his bedside when the end came, but
the father did not know of his death
until his return home Wednesday
noon.
Frederick was born in the city of
Sank Centre in 1899. He was one of
the city's brightest and promising
boys, and deservedly popular with his
fellows.
The funeral services will be held
from the family residence on Birch
street Friday afternoon, Sept. 8, Rev.
w. J. Brown, pastor of the Congre-
gational church officiating.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robbers and daugh-
tiers have the sincere sympathy of the
entire community in their extremely
sad affliction.

When the Sank Centre High School
was built in 1912, both School Board
and Architect found themselves very
much limited in supplying floor space
for the accommodation of the pupils of
the district, and in the site of the
building were not able to provide for
very much growth, the maximum
number that the present school was
designed to accommodate was one hun
dred and eighty, and this has already
been exceeded by something like 10.
The Manual Training, Domestic
Science and Agricultural departments,
of necessity, limited to the then min
imum floor space required, and if the
High School building was being erect
ed now, before the plans could be o.
KID greater floor space would be re-
quired in all of these departments.
Since 1912 the State of Minnesota
has adopted the policy of increasing
the Commercial and Normal depart
ments by giving state aid te school
districts conducting them. The pres
ent High School has reached and even
exceeded its capacity by the growth
taken place since 1912; so when it
became necessary to build new
building on account of the recent fire,
the Board felt that it was wise to
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-09-02

consider not only the grades necessary
but the over-crowded condition of the
High School in connection with it, in
providing in this building Junior
High School, which will accommodate
the seventh and eighth grades, and
the Freshman year of the High School
in specialized work. This is in keep
ing with the recommendations of the
National Educational Association, and
is plan that is being gradually
adopted by the better conducted
school all over the county and is in
the interest of greater school efficien-
cy.

bination gymnasium auditorium room,

DELIGHTFUL ANNUAL PICNIC

On Friday of last week the G. A. R.
and W. R. c., held their annual picnic.
This year, for change. the grounds
at Hoboken creek were chosen instead
of Fairy lake, where it has been held
for many years. The clans gathered
at the Post Room at $50 a. M, and
proceeded by autos to the place APP
pointed. Tables were set beneath the
trees and the camp fire blazed on the
shore of the creek. About 80 people
partook of the bountiful dinner,
which consisted of everything from
Boston baked beans to ice cream and
peaches. The ground was not level
enough for foot racing, and the cold
boys were too anxious to see the
girls play ball, so did not enter into
any singing. The crowd broke up at
three o'clock, having spent few very
delightful hours in the open.
