SENIORS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
Local Inter- Glass High School Debate
Held at High School Assembly
Room Last Evening.

The final inter-class debate for the
Caughren cup took place Wednesday
night at the high school auditorium.
The question, RESOLVED That the
United States Should Materially In
crease It's Armament" was argued by
the Freshmen team, who had pre-
viously defeated the Sophomores on
the same question, and the Seniors,
victors over the Junior class. The af
frmative was supported by the first
year students, Solomon Dewey, Flor
ence Hennemann and Glen Bohall and
the negative by Maud Gingery, Helen
Allen and Hazel Rosenberger, repre-
senting the Seniors. Attorney Kelsey
presided. Miss Esther Sprague, L. l..
Kells and DR.. Moynihan acted as
judges. The decision was unanimous
in favor of the negative and accord
ing to the established custom the
8 seniors will have their names en-
graved upon the cup to commemorate
the victory. The outstanding feature
of the contest was the fine work, of
Miss Hennemann in rebuttal. Music
was furnished by the High School
band, and the crowd assembled taxed
the capacity Of the Assembly room.

TWO MONSTER PICKEREL
SPEARED IN LOCAL LAX Els;
LARGEST ONEIS MOUNTED

Two monster pickerel have
been speared recently in local
lakes. Horace Jackson, residing
six miles north of the city on the
shores of Sank Lake, harpooned
a specimen weighing 25R
pounds, measuring Al inches in
length and % inches in girth.
The fish was turned over to the
officers of the Commercial Club,
who had it stuffed and mounted
and will make of it decoration
on the walls of the club rooms.
Last Sunday, Charlie Johnson
and Art Brecount, spearing at
Fairy lake, landed a specimen
weighing % pounds and measur-
ing 40 inches in length. Johnson
and Brecount give vivid recital
of their experience. Brecount
shot his spear at the pickerel
and made a hit near the tail.
Immediately johnson came to
the rescue but before he could
shoot his harpoon into the pick
erel's head Brecount had been
drawn into the hole to his
shoulders trying to hold his
quarry. These are two Of the
largest "snakes" which have
ever been fished out of local
waters.

AS CLERKS-OFFICE TURN NED OVER WEDNESDAY,.

appointment took place Feb. Z, fol-
lowing.
Oliver B. Boobar, the retiring post
master, is one of the land marks of
public service in Sank Centre. In the
early nineties he was clerk in the
store of Hilsdale & Tully. When Mr..
Hilsdale received the appointment as
postmaster in 1895, the office was
then placed in direct charge of Mr..
Boobar, who retired with Mr.. Hilsdale
in 1900. Shortly after this he organ
lied Rural route No. l, running out
of Sank Centre, and was carrier on
this route until the bondsmen of the
the postmaster turned the office over
to Mr.. Boobar in October, 1908.
President Roosevelt appointed Mr..
Boobar postmaster in November, 1908,
but he did not assume charge of the
office until Jan. 1, 1904, after the
auditor for the government had thor
oughly gone over the affairs of the
office. He was re-appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in January, 1908, and
President Taft named him to succeed
himself in January, 1912.
During the years Mr.. Boobar has
been postmaster the local office has
passed through the transitory period
of growth and development. Several
times during his administration the
office has been increased in import
ance and responsibility until at the
present time it is generally recognized
as one Of the very best second-class
offices in Minnesota.
The retiring postmaster is some
what unsettled as to his future plans.
He will continue to make Sank Cen
tire his home in any event. The prob
abilities are that for a time at least
he will take life easy.

@ AUX CENTRE is to have new
y postmaster. He is 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. I2t
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

CHAUTAUQUA man
WANTS DATES HERE
ADDRESSES COMMERCIAL CLUB
BUT is GIVEN LITTLE EN-
~. COURAGEMENT
CITIZENS BALk AT GUARANTEE
CHURCH LEADERS AND CLUB
OFFICERS EXPRESS FAVOR;
GIVE MORAL SUPPORT

Myron E. Weisenberger represent
ing the Bertram Lyceum and Chau-
tauqua Bureau, Minneapolis, was here
last week feeling the pulse of the city
regarding a chautauaua in Sank Cen
tire this summer. He addressed the
meeting of the Commercial Club on
Friday night; he discussed the project
with ministers, with officers of clubs
and societies, with leaders in educa-
tlonal movements; he sounded bust
ness men. When he had concluded his
investigation he found the pulse very
strong for a chautauqua insofar as
the giving of moral support was con-
cerned but decidedly weak concerning
the putting up of financial guaran-
tee to the bureau. However, Mr.
Weisenberger before his departure on
Saturday said he was not entirely dis
couraged and would return to Sank
Centre the latter part of this week.
The matter was quite thoroughly
threshed out at the Commercial Club
meeting. Weisenberger explained his
proposition and said his bureau would
furnish fve-day entertainment of
high class for a $500 guarantee and
gate receipts or for $500 outright and
the city to take the receipts. This
would include the supplying of tents
and all chautauqua appurtenances.
Asa M. Wallace voiced the senti-
M ont Of Tho y,ooo4;prr xxybo,, bo e4o4oJ
that Sank Centre had chautauqua
few years ago, that the committee
in charge by strenuous work "put it
across" financially, but that the ex-
periences gained at that time killed
any great sentiment at this time for
another chautauqua. He poined out
that chautauquas were money making
institutions and if they were such
drawing cards as represented they
should not ask communities to put up
large money guarantees but should
stand on their own bottom.
/, President Cooper and DR.. H. F.
Hennemann both agreed that chau-
tauquas are good things but reiterat-
ed the statement of Mr.. Wallace that
at the present time the people Of the
city neither care to get out and hustle
to make a chautauqua successful mon
do they feel inclined to put up big
guarantee. Bushes men are chary
because Of past experiences in guar:
antees they said.
Rev. r.. w. Duel said he had found
conside cradle favor for chautauqus
and suggested 3co-prdination of So
scieties and clubs from which man
aging committee could be selected to
swing the project. The Commercial
Club took no action but suggested he
sound out the plan as suggested by
Rev. Duel. r-s,..-..s.ss.,....

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 Cen
trail Minnesota Power & Milling Co.,
for the pumping of water and furnish
ing street lighting for a period of five
years with the privilege on the part
Of the city for extending the contract
an additional year. -
"a The new contract will go into effect
May 4, 1916. The asking of privilege
of a 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 a 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, 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, S72 per year.
For 100 candle power, $36 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 25 arcs be installed and
that the company must make all re-
newals of lamps. The company asked
until May 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 a 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 fume 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.
