Colorado's surplus Wilson votes spread
over few other states would have re-
licved the tension wonderfully.
In the great outdoor West where Wall

Savings accounts in Germany, accord

The excess of deposits over Withdrawals

The working people of the West were

All farmers buy their corn. One will
go to the merchant and pay money for

occupied by corn. How many farm

Tiresome reference is made to
leaders and the need of leadership.
TO stand in the spotlight and strike
"keynotes" and drink in the cheer

honor and the glory, is pleasing
fancy. The ambitious young man
shrcwdly realizes that the following

NARROWLY ESCAPE
Death IN FLUME
QUARTET OF MILL EMPLOYEES
ARE CAUGHT IN TRAP WHEN
GATES COLLAPSE
ONRUSH OF WATER TERRIFIC
c. E. PERkINSON. ONLY SAVED
BY DRIFTING NEAR COMRADE
AND BEING SEIZED

Caught with only a few seconds
warning in the powerful rush of an
accidentally loosed 11-foot head of wa
ter in the mill flume late last Thurs
day afternoon, c. E. Parkinson, Fred
Lewis, Fred Littell and Fred Lam
prey had narrow escape from
drowning. Parkinson undoubtedly
owes his life to aid extended by Lit
tell. All would have persisted but for
the fortunate circumstances that Lam
prey and Lewis were close enough to
the loose ladder by which the quartet
had descended into the flume to climb
onto the upper rounds and keep it an
chored against the whirling waters
Until the other two were able to gain
the refuge.
The smaller of the two water wheels
which drive the electric dynamos had
gone wrong and the four mill EMPLOY
es had emptied the flume to make
needed repairs. This was accomplish
ed by the lowering of four big gates
which held the water back at the
flume intake to a depth of II feet.
The men had barely descended into
the flume by means of a long ladder
when there was crash of timbers and
the roar of huge volume of sudden
ly released water. Two of the gates
had collapsed under the strain placed
or them. They had been in service
many years and had not been lowered
since last fall.
Lamprey, Lewis and Littell were
near the ladder and reached it's pro-
tectlng rounds in a mad scramble.
None of the trio can tell just how he
reached safety. Parkinson had been
at a greater distance and was caught
in the terrific swirl. All four of the
wheels had been left open with the re-
suit that they began to churn, adding
to Perkinson's plight the danger Of
being sucked under the turbines and
drowned or killed. Broken timbers
were also being hurled through the
foaming water. For nearly a minute
he was buffeted about from wall to
wall and to the floor of the flume un-
til the current swept him near the lad
der and Littell was able to seize his
hand and assist him to safety on the
ladder.
With the gates out of commission,
it was impossible to empty the flume
to make the wheel repairs and accord
ilgly the dam gates were opened On
Friday and the lake lowered about
foot and half to allow of the build
ing of Golfer dam across the flume
irtake to hold back the water until
gates and wheel can be placed in
shape. This work is now in progress.

PLAN Big ADDITION
TO palmer HOUSE
WORK TO BE COMMENCED THIS
FALL ON -FOUR
ROOM ENLARGEMENT
FACILITIES ARE INADEQUATE
IMPROVEMENT WILL COST S1,5OO
TWO STORE ROOMS ON
GROUND FLOOR

Architect Buckley has completed
plans and specifications for $4,000
addition to be made to the Palmer
House this fall by A. j. DeBeau, own
er and manager. Mr. Dubeau says
that construction will start some time
in September. When the improvement
is completed Sank Centre will be able
to boast of one of the very finest no
tells in the Northwest.
Since the Dubeaus acquired the
Palmer House this spring they have
become more and more embarrassed
from month to month by increased
business which has necessitated re-
peated turning away of would-be pa
irons. During July, which is consid-
cred one of the worst months of the
year in the commercial hotel business,
the Palmer House entertained LISA
guests, nearly 400 more than during
any one month in the history of the
hotel. Every succeeding month since
the Dubeaus have taken control, the
hotel has shown healthy increase in
modate the patronage with the present
structure that prompts the building
'of the big addition.
The present building contains 40
guest rooms. The addition will con-
tain "a, each Is by Is feet, and con-
nected with private bath. The ar
rangement on both second and third
floors will be en- suite. The addition
will be on the north side of the pre-
sent building and extend to the alley
which divides the block between Sec
ond and Third streets on North Main.
The structure will be 83x36 feet,
three stories and full basement, OF
reinforced concrete, including floors,
and faced with brick. Trimmings will
be in white. This material will make
the structure absolutely fireproof. On
the ground floor will be two store
rooms for rental purposes, each II by
81 feet. The extreme corner on the
first floor is designed as flat for a
family home for the Dubeaus.
The addition will be modern in ev-
ery detail and entrance to the guest
rooms on the second and third floors
will be from the main lobby. The
plans include the entire remodelllng
of the lobby and the installation OF
tile floor and wainscoting. The base
ment will provide additional sample
and storage rooms. The dining room
and kitchen will remain as at present
but will be redecorated, as will all the
rooms in the old portion of the build
ing. The addition will add greatly to
the appearance of Main street north
of Third.

PICNIC is ENJOYABLE

The annual combination G. A. R.
and w. R. C.. picnic on Tuesday OF
this week at Hoboken Creek was the
best one ever held. The weather was
perfect, there was large crowd, the
dinner was bountiful and the lemon
ade lasted till the last one departed
for home. The "Old Vets" were in
their best trim and the women in their
most cheerful mood. Several guests
visiting in G. A. R. homes avalled
themselves of the privilege of attend
ing the picnic. The young CD tolks
waded in the creek, while the old
folks sat on the bank and applauded.
A Virginia reel was danced on the
green with ladies' choice Of partners
Chas. Bryant got little mixed up
Mr.. Sneesby was a little behind time
and Joe Parker cut too many pigeon
wings, but all came out even at the
end. The ladies escorted their part
ners to the lemonade jar, where they
shone to great advantage. Mrs. Mil
ler and Clara Carr furnished the
dance music. The party can hardly
wait for whole year to go by before
enjoying another and it is possible an
other will take place when the wealth
Ell becomes cooler.-Contributed.

NARROW ESCAPE IN RUNAWAY.

Mrs. Row, residing on the old Jar
dine farm near West Union, had a
narrow escape from injury late last
Thursday afternoon when the team
she was driving ran away on Main
street. She had stopped at the Han
sen store when one of the horses be-
came restless because of an unloosen-
ed tug swinging about his heels and
started to run. At Main and Third
streets the team broke away from the
buggy, the team going west on Third
ard the buggy rolling along Main
with high speed and crashing into the
corner of the Palmer House. The.
force of the impact knocked pieces off
several of the hotel bricks but Mrs.
Row was not thrown out of the We
hicle and escaped injury. When the
team was brought back she insisted

MASONS LAY CORNER STONE
MANY NOTABLES PRESENT

Large numbers of the wearers of
the Square and Compass and Key
stone will visit Sank Centre today
Thursday to participate in the lay
ing of the corner stone of the Masonic
Temple being erected by the local bod
les on Main street between Fourth end
Fifth.
The erection of structure to be US
ed entirely for Masonic purposes is
rather unusual in cities of the size of
Sank Centre. Star in the West Lodge
is one of the oldest in the state. The
first meeting was held in the Moore
building, corner of Third and Main
streets, Dec. Is, 1856, a dispensation
having been granted by Grand Master
Nash Nov. 10, 1886, for the organiza-
ton of the lodge U. D. The Grand
Lodge issued charter under the
name Star in the West Lodge No. 60,
Oct. "a, 1867.
The present lodge home was erect
ed during the year 1878, at which
time the Masons and Odd Fellows
jointly made arrangements to erect
the third story over the double story
frame building owned ny Z. Lancas-
ter. The lodges were given a 99-rear
lease on this property. In 1889 the
Odd Fellows lodge bought their pre-
sent property and in 1890 the Masons
assumed the lease Of the room on the
south side of the building.
E. P. Barnum was the first Wor.,
shipful Master of Star IN the West
Lodge. Henry A. Boobar was the first
man raised to the sublime degree Of
a Master Mason, having taken his En-
tered Apprentice and Fellowcraft de-
grees in North Star Lodge, St. Cloud.
Star in the West Lodge has fur
nished number of Grand Lodge of
ficers, the late Alonzo Barto serving
as Grand Master 25 years ago. An
interesting event during his admins
tration was the laying of the corner
stone of the Minneapolis Court House
and City hall, an account of which ap-
peared in the 25-year ago department
of the Minneapolis Journal on july 16
of this year, as follows:
with all the impressive beauty Of
the Masonic ritual and in the presence
Of thousands of enthusiastic citizens
such as only Minneapolis citizens can
gather together when anything Of
public import is at hand the corner
stone of the court house was duly laid
Thursday afternoon and the building
started formally on it's career. Delay
ed by the rain it was nearly o'clock
when the procession started from 9Th
street up Henepin. A mounted square
of officers and 100 patrolmen led the
parade followed by the St. Paul ag-
gregation with band. Damascus aud

and Darius and Zion commanders

line. The Granite Cutters union, 60
strong, in shirt sleeves and working
aprons, formed feature of the pa
rade.
