BUYS MORE land
FOR HOME SCHOOL
BOARD OF CONTROL ACQUIRES
113 ACRES AND SECURES.
TWO OPTIONS
ADJOINS PRESENT LOCATION
STATE OFFICIALS. RETICIENT AS
4TO WHAT IMPROVEMENTS
ARE contemplated So

During the past week the State
Board of Control acquired outright
113 acres, secured lease and option
to-purchase on another tract of 100
acres and an option-to-purchase on
still rs more. acres as additions to the
present large tract owned and utilized
by the state for the buildings and
grounds of the Home School for Girls
on the lake shore north of the city.
The 113-acre tract acquired out
right is part of the Alice A. Cole
estate, better known as the old Alex
Moore property, the land laying. on
the east and north Of the public road
and joining the present school prop
erty. The purchase price was SIS an
acre.
The 75-acre tract on which an OPP
tion-to-purchase has been taken is a
part of the old Parish estate, joining
the 113-acre tract just purchased, and
when it is secured by the state will
give the school all the land in that
section to the spur track and to the
Grundman property. The price on
this land is also placed at SIS an
acre.
The 16O-acre tract secured by lease
and option is the Hartman Rasmussen
farm laying one mile east of the pres
ent school property and which is bet
ter known as the old Owen Hyland
farm. The price of this tract has been
fixed at 500 an acre. 1t is imme-
diately available to the school under
the terms of the lease and will be
worked as farm. All three of the
deals were made by the w.. A. Moore
Land Co., acting as agent for all buy
ing and selling parties concerned. 1t
is expected both options. will be taken
up as soon as funds for that purpose
are available to the board.
What significance can be attached
to the three deals made by the Board
of Control insofar as additional build
ings or improvements are concerned
the members of the board are leaving
for all to guess.
They dismiss the subject with the
simple statement that acquiring of
of the land was in consonance with the
policy of having plenty of ground to
take care of the growth and develop
ment of the school and that it would
be impossible to state with accuracy
that new buildings are to be erected
or grounds more improved before
funds are available or the buildings
or improvements are needed.
However, the very fact that the
board is reaching out after the adjoin-
ing property is indicative that the
State Home School for Girls is des-
tined to become one of the finest pub
lie institutions of the state and a mag
niicient show place for Sank Centre.

s, GUARD AGAINST. FIRE

f The handsome and modern office
building erected by j. A. Caughren
north of and adjoining the Caughren
Theatre is being given, final touches
BY plumbers, electricians and decora-
tors and will be in readiness for oc-
cupancy by tenants Feb. 1. The de-
STABILITY of location in the building
for office and business purposes is at
tested in that every room or suite in
the building has been leased.
The structure is a credit to Mr..
Caaghren and a substantial addition
to Sank Centres business buildings.
The architect was instructed to draw
plans so the new building would APP
pear as a part of the Caughren the
atre building and the idea has been
carried out as to height, material and
face outline. Fire-proof matt faced
brick was used throughout in the con-
struction.
The main structure is two stories,
25 by 40 feet. In the rear is one
story extension, 20 by rs feet. On the
ground floor are two spacious and
well lighted store rooms. The south
room will be occupied by Peter Orvarr
and George Butler as barber shop.
The north room has been leased by
Mrs. A. C. Cawley for millinery
store. Mrs. Cawley will also have
work room to the rear of the show
room and three large housekeeping
rooms in the extension to the rear.
Entrance will be gained by door
way in the. center of the front which
opens on tile floored hallway. Wide
doors of plate glass will open off the
hall into both north and south store
rooms. Access to the second floor
will be had by broad stairway which
is a continuation of the hallway.
The second floor is divided into two
suites of two rooms each. The south
suite has been leased by Judge Cary
Diehl as quarters for the municipal
court and also as the home OF the Lee
Gingery Land Co. The north suite
has been taken by Mrs. o. Wheeler
where she will move her dressmaklng
business. A stairway leads to the
ground in the rear.
The entire building is not only con-
venient in construction and tasty IN
its decorations but is as fire-proof as
possible to make it. The rooms and
offices have high ceilings and an
abundance of light. Splendid ventila-
ton is procured through a patent ven
tilator contained in the light tower IN
the center of the roof over The stair
way. The floors are all of white maple
except that oak is used in the stair
way. The remainder of the wood
work is in yellow pine. Heat will be
supplied by the City, Steam Laundry.
Handsome brass electric lighting fix
lures are features of every room.
Frosted glass doors give attractive
ness on the second floor while the
windows are of wire glass fireproof
variety with metal sashes and bear
ing the fire underwriters label. The
cost Of the building will be about
$1,000.
John Becker is the general con-
tractor. David Pangburn did the brick
work and G. Hillerud & Co. is doing
the plumbing.

SCENIC BEAUTY OF ALASKA,
A Grand Panorama That Reaches it,
Climax In Mount Mckinley.

Climax In Mount Mckinley.
A careful reading of literature per
tanning to Alaska prepared me in part
for what the Journey was bound to dis,
close, but seeing is the only sense that
can give knowledge and secure appre-
citation of the grandeur, the sublimity.
the fascinating beauty of mountain,
sea, stream, ford, falls, islands, for
ests, cloud and the glorious color ef-
. fects which the dazzling rays Of the
sun bring into existence. In connec-
ton with all these is a land Of en-
chantment for all who love and can ap-
preciate nature.
Cook inlet, with its arms and reach
es, has many bewildering channels. re-
sulting from the numerous rugged is
lands. The forbldding and embattled
shores rising into lofty mountains and
at present swathed In white almost to
the waters edge possess q virility, q
grandeur and sublimity which require
the most poetic imagination and most
facile pen even family to portray. The
grand panorama reaches its climax In
Mount Mckinley, monarch Of the
North American continent. With its
altitude Of 2O,46O feet It stands alone
in lofty pride and is distinctly visible
from the vessel Notwithstanding the
very great distance. This fact well
esta blishes the quality of the clarified
and invigorating atmosphere of this
far north country.
The Thousand islands with all their
beauty would scarcely serve as pre-
lude to the surprising grandeur and
loneliness of the many thousand Is
lands that adorn the 5000 miles Of
Alaskan coast. The fiords Of Norway.
the farfamed glaciers of Switzerland,
cannot compare with their counter
parts to be found in Alaska in num-
Der. variety, size, color effect and all
the qualities that give charm to these
works of nature.-HOn. A. Barton Hep
burn in Leslie's.
