@ AUX CENTRE is to have a new
y postmaster. He is a simon-pure,
blown in the bottle democrat.
The change took place Wednesday,
March Is, 1916, following the close
of business for the day, at which time
Joseph A. Schoenhoff became the Of
fetal postcard inspector and stamp
dispenser for Uncle Sam, succeeding
Oliver B. Boobar, who has served con-
secutively since Jan. /, 1904.
AS previously noted in the Herald,
Mr.. Schoenhoff was confirmed by the
senate several weeks ago, and he re-
ceived his commission shortly after
the first of the March.
He has spent most of his time dur
ing the past ten days in the office
familiarizing himself with his duties.
With Mrs. Minnie Mullen as the chief
assistant and Victoria Meyers and
Harry Wicklund as the clerks, the ser
vice in the office will not be impaired.
The new postmaster informs the Her
aid that he does not anticipate any
change in the personnel of the office
force.
Mr.. Schoenhoff was born in Ger
many 40 years ago. Most of his boy
hood was spent on a farm near Metre
Grove. Joe has always taken an ac-
tive interest in the business affairs of
the town, and is equipped to give the
patrons of the Sank Centre office
splendid service. After leaving the
farm he attended Vath's business col
lege in this city for three years. He
is happily married and has one. son
and two daughters. @''
The contest for the appointment
was somewhat strenuous, and the
Herald is glad to note that the nam
ing of Mr.. Schoenhoff left no sore
spots. President Wilson sent his name
to the senate Jan. IL, 1916, and the

power COMPANY
GIVEN CONTRACT
WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP THE
WATER AND LIGHT STREETS
ANOTHER 5 YEARS
ILLUMINATING Change MADE
NITROGEN LAMPS TO REPLACE
PRESENT ARCS-BETTER
LIGHTS, CHEAPER COST

The. city council at an adjourned
meeting Wednesday night instructed
Mayor McGibbon and Clerk Cooper
to enter into contract with the Gen.
trail Minnesota Power & Milling Co.,
for the pumping of water and furnish
ing street lighting for period of five
years with the privilege on the part
of the city for extending the contract
an additional year.
ia The new contract will go into effect
May 1, 1916. The asking of privilege
Of years extension of contract was
for the reason that five years hence
the city council then in office may find
it difficult to enter into new water
and lighting deal in less than one
year.
Under the proposition of the power
company, the present contract for
pumping water is simply renewed, the
rate remaining at $1,000 per year.
A new system of lighting will be
inaugurated, however, in that nitro
gen lamps will be substituted for the
present arcs and street incandescents.
The nitrogen lamp system is the most
up-to-date for street illumination
known at. the present time and will
put Sank Centre in the forefront in
that respect.
Not only are the nitrogen lamps
brighter and more powerful than the
present lights but they are consider
ably cheaper. AS a matter of fact
the city will be able to install ten
more lights than at present at the
same cost which the city is now pay
ing for street lighting. The rates for
the new lights are:
For 600 candle power lamp, like one
on exhibition S84 per year.
For 400 candle power, equal to
present arc, $72 per year.
For 100 candle power, $50 per year
For 60 candle power, $24 per year.
This last size the company recon-
mends to take the place of the pres
ent 80 candle power.
The contract must stipulate that
not less than rs arcs be installed and
that the company must make all re-
newals of lamps. The company asked
until May 1 for the beginning of the
new contract that they may have time
to order new fixtures required.
In that period, the lighting commit
tee of the council-Messrs. Jameson,
Brown and Hillerud-will decide what
size of lights shall be installed and
where they shall be placed. 1t was
stated at the meeting that there would
be no disposition to change present To-
cations but that about ten new lamps
would be installed in various parts of
the city. The 600 candle power lamps
are recommended by the company for
the business district, with the smaller
lamps in the residence parts. The
committee will give test to all sizes
to assist them in their distribution.
Manager Merryman of the power
company was present and in discus
sing improvements to be made to the
water power system said repairs and
alterations to the flume would be ne
cessary this summer but because of
the high price of metal it was doubt
full if the company could afford to
build another power unit.

PURE BRED HORSES INCREAS-


Farm horses in Montana are in
creasing in quality and quantity, and
it is now estimated that there are
450,OOO horses on Montana farms,
whose price is worth Is per cent more
than last year at the same time.
This is the belief of DR.. E. H. Riley
of Bozeman, member of the state
stallion registration board. This
board inspects stations previous to
their being registered for breeding
purposes. He believes that 200 reg
istered stations have been brought
into the state this year. The Hol-
bert people at Great Falls have i'm
ported at least 60 stations this year
and at present Fred Holbert is in
France to bring over new stock.
The embargo on horses has been
lifted by the French president and
between the dates of December !,
1916, and March Is, 1917, they will be
allowed to bring the animals out Of
France. Two of the horses that Hol-
bert has gone after have been pur-
chased for over two years but the
importing firm were unable to get
them out Of France. They will bring
over quite number between the
dates allowed and all the American
importers will take advantage of
their chance.
Belgium is war-torn and it is i'm
possible to get horses from this coun-
try, once known as great horse pro-
ducing section.
"Breed thoroughbred" is the ad-
vice DR.. Riley gives to Montana farm
ers if they wish to improve their stock
to the maximum of efficiency. The in
tiuence Of thoroughbred sire on a
farm will make itself noticeable in
eight or ten years so that the stand
ard of all the stock will be effectively
raised.
On January l, 1915, there were
800 900 farm horses in Montana. A
year later there were 100000 and TO-
day it is believed there is 100000

SEATTLE, May I.-Engineer Kramer of the Alaska road com mission arrived i'll the city last night on his way to Fairbanks where he will make preparations for the commencement of sum mer operations at the interior end of the line.
 Kramer says that there will be an immense amount of work on the Fairbanks end this year. We do not contemplate any rail lay ing this year, however, he said Our operations this summer will be almost entirely directed to the work of preparation. We are go- ing to get things ready for actual construction next year. The work to be done this summer consists of clearing the right of way, grading and also the building of wharves and docks at Nenana for the handling and storage of sup plies brought in by the river route.
 We also intend to commence the construction of wagon roads from Fairbanks to Nenana coai fields which will mean the open ing up of the fields to the Fair banks market. The work oi grading, etc, will proceed both ways from Nenana and all pos. sible efforts will be made to have everything ready for laying the rails next year There will be three engineers with residences at Fairbanks.
