FOOLISH MOTORCYCLE.

Our idea of motorcycles is that there are some that are as foolish and as senseless as some men. There isn't particle of difference that We can see.

PAUL HILSDALE Is MARRIED
Takes as Bride One of Charming and
Popular Young Women of
Columbus, Ohio

Yesterday at the home of the
brides parents in Columbus, Ohio
was solemnized the marriage of Miss
Anne Rathburn Fuller, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Chapman Full.
Ter, to Paul Hilsdale, son of Mr.. anG
Mrs. w. O. P. Hilsdale of Sank Cen.
tire. The wedding was a brilliant af-
fair, the Fuller family being wealthy
and socially prominent in Columbus
Mrs. Hilsdale was in attendance or
the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hilsdale left imme-
diately on honeymoon trip to Chi
cago for several days and then to
Breckenridge, Col, where they will
make their home and which is head
quarters for Mr.. Hilsdale as chief en-
gineer for the Wellington Mines Com
pany, which holds large zinc, lead
gold and silver properties in that re-
gion. Mr.. Hilsdale also operates sew
eral leases of his own.
The wedding was the elimination of
a pretty college romance. While at
tending Yale, Mr.. Hilsdale had as a
classmate John W. Fuller of Column
bus and passed several vacations with
the latter at his home. There he met
the sister of his college chum. Later
when Mr.. Hilsdale was located in Col
orado, the Fullers passed a summer at
Colorado Springs and the acquain5-
ance was renewed.
Paul Hilsdale is one of the best
known and popular of young Sauk
Centre men. He was born here in
1885 and attended the public schools
graduating from the high school in
1904. He studied for one year at the
University of Minnesota, four years
at Yale and three years at the Col.
orado School of Mines. Following his
graduation from the latter institution
he followed his profession as mining
engineer in British Columbia, Nevada
Arizona and other southwestern min

GARAGE CHANGES OWNERSHIP
Salmond & O'Gara Sell Big Plant to
Mrs. Mary HOgan-Archie Ho-
gan Will Manage.

By deal consumated last Monday,
ownership of the Palmer House gar
age on North Main street has passed
from Salmond & O'Gara to Mrs. Mary
Hogan. The deal includes lot, build
ing, stock and all contents. Posses
sion will be given and management
turned over on completion of inven-
tory, which will probably take until
the end of the week. The sale of
stock and contents was on inventory
basis and for cash, though the
amount paid by Mrs. Hogan is not
divulged. The lady purchased the
property as a business for her son,
Archie Hogan, who will be sole man.
ager and who will retain all present
employees of the garage with Walter
Dewhirst in charge of the machine
shop.
The Palmer House garage is one
of the most complete auto shops be-
tween Minneapolis and Fargo. The
business was inaugurated by Salmond
& O'Gara two years ago and has
grown rapidly, necessitating several
engagements and improvements. The
building is fre-proof, being of brick
and concrete with recently installed
fireproof steel ceiling. Besides the
large garage proper, the plant con-
tains a model machine shop with
equipment for the building of an au-
tomobile if necessary, a handsome
show room for the stock of accessor-
les and a comfortable and coy wait
ing room.
Messrs. Salmond and O'Gara will
not dissolve partnership, but propose
to enter into other business in Sank
Centre. They have several ventures
in view but as yet have made no de-
cision. In the meantime Mr.. Salmond
will look after his ice business and
Mr.. O'Gara will look after his res
taurant interests.

City. Her hosts of friends will re-
member that when Mrs. Salmond left
last November to visit her daughter,
Mrs. w. E. Collins, at Portland, Ore,
she was so desperately i'll and en-
feebled that it was necessary for her
to have a travelling companion. They
will now be glad to learn that Mrs.
Salmond is as robust and healthy as
a young girl despite her II years,
red-cheeked and active, able to go by
herself down town, to the beach or to
theaters. Mr.. Salmond says her old
friends would scarcely know her, she
has improved so, adding, "Why, she
eats three pancakes and drinks two
cups of coffee for breakfast and that
is more than I can do" Mrs. Salmond
began to improve while she was in
Portland but the biggest improvement
has come since she went to Los An
geles where she was able to make the
trip alone from the Oregon city. Mr..
Salmond says that his mother likes
Southern California so that in the fu-
ture it will be their winter home. The
summers will be passed in Sank Cen
tire. Mrs. Salmond will return here
in June as soon as the new Salmond
home is ready for occupancy but will
leave with her son in the fall. Mr..
Salmond, having disposed of his in
terest in the Palmer House garage,
also desires to dispose of his ice bus
mess but will retain all his other
holdings here and in the future will
enter such enterprises as to permit
him passing the winter in California
and summer here.

The Sank Centre city election held
on Tuesday brought out the largest
vote ever polled in the city-5SO
There are 25 or 80 voters registered
who did not vote.
The generally accepted basis of fig
uring is one voter for every five in
habitants-indicatin quite clearly
that Sank Centre is we'll over the
three thousand mark in population.
DR.. H. F. Hennemann had no opposi-
ton for mayor, nor was there any
fight on for aldermen or city treasur-
er. The question of whether the city
should keep or dispense with the wet
goods emporiums was the big issue.
Of the total vote cast STA voted on
the license question, $40 being in fav-
or and 255 against, giving the ''wets"
majority of Ga, an increase of Is
over the majority in 1915. This re-
suit at first glance would indicate that
the "wets" were in the ascendancy in
this city, but when percentages are
figured the net loss to them over a
year ago is nearly seven per cent. Fig
ure the matter from any angle you
choose and it must be apparent that
the sentiment of the substantial tax
paying citizenship of Sank Centre is
today very nearly equally divided on
this very important question.
Tuesdays election passed off quiet
ly, both factions deporting themselves
with dignity. There was some chal-
longing on both sides, but no unseen
ingly outbreaks.
Now that the election is over quite
a strong sentiment has developed to
increase the saloon license fee from
$1,000 to $500 or even $4,000. The
Herald is not fully in accord with
this movement. 1t is quite generally
expected that Sank Centre will be the
Mecca for large number of the
rough-neck element from wide dry

area during the coming II months
Instead of increasing the license fee
the Herald would prefer to see the sa-
loonmen held to a strict accountable,
ity, with the absolute understanding
that a "slop-over" in their zeal fol-
business would result in license re-
vocal.
1t is generally taken as an accepted
fact that Mayor-Elect Hennemanr
will retain George Fish as chief OF
police. He should be given a free
hand to handle the rough neck ele-
ment as his judgment seems best
and when one of these fellows are
hailed into municipal court stiff fines
and Jail sentences for the culprits will
serve notice on all others that Sank
Centre will not countenance any
rough stuff.

EXTEND PRESENT FRANCHISE
City COuncilmen Balk at Form of
Contract Renewal Wanted by
Power Company. -

The city council at it's regular meet
ing last night took advantage of its
privilege to extend the present con-
tract with the Central Minnesota
Power & Milling Co. for furnishing
street lighting and water power until
May 1, 1917. The original contract
for five years expires May 1, 1916,
but contains clause giving the city
the one year extension privilege. The
action was taken by the council to
protect against sudden expiration of
contract which was threatened by rea-
son of the council having rescinded it's
action of some weeks ago when it was
unanimously voted to renew the con-
tract with the power and company for
a period of five years. This action
was taken at special meeting at the
request of Manager S. T. Merryman
of the power company who objected
to the form of contract drawn by the
city officials who were empowered by
the city council to frame it. Manager
Merryman was present at the meeting
last night and urged that the contract
be made an assignable one. Council
men counter-moved that the contract
must contain clause STIMULATING that
the current furnished by the contrac-
tor be manufactured in Sank Centre
Discussion showed that the council
men saw the possibility, in the event
of letting an assignable contract to
the Central Minnesota Power & Mil
ling Co., that the power company
could sell out to St. Cloud or Little
Falls power transmission company
or purchase current from such com
pany.
Councilmen urged that this you'd de-
stroy home industry and stated they
had made liberal terms to the power
company in order to conserve that in
dustry rather than have the money 20
to outside corporations. They con-
tended if there was any profit to be
had in buying current from a trans
mission line the profit should accrue
to the city and not to a private con-
Germ to whom the city had let a con-
tract. The question will be threshed
out thoroughly at the melting of the
council next Tuesday night when the
new officers will take their seats.

COUNCIL REFUSES TO PAY BILL

COUNClL REFUSES TO PAY BILL
City councilmen at their meeting
Wednesday night placed firm foot on
the city paying transportation charges
for city policemen responding to calls
from adjoining townships. A bill
for $1.50 from Smith Bros, for haul
ing Chief Fish into the country was
rejected as not being a proper bill
against the city. The council held
that unless the city police are called
out of the city on city police business
that the municipality is not liable for
expenses incurred The councilmen
also contended that the city police had
no jurisdiction in adjoining towns and
should not respond to calls from them.
