Sank Centre---Its Traditions
and Its Life
By GEORGE D. WING

his daughter again, said:
81 am going to send your wool to
Champlain by Mr.. Moore. He viii
start tomorrow. You may have the
cow that is there. Sell her to buy
bedding with, or keep her as you
choose. l hear that there are Indi-
ans even in Hennepin county as well
as here. Last Saturday there was a
soldier shot with an arrow at Alex
andria. ! expect to go up there to-
morrow to survey some land but>will
have six men with Newell armed
"The drouth has killed all the
grain around here except on my
place and Bartlett's, and there will
be but little there"
Speaking of the growing prospects
of the community of Sank Centre in
the year 1868, Mr.. Barnard said:
81 shall take charge of Mr.. Moore's
numbering next winter. He has got
his grist mill up and covered and his
steam boat running. A large tavern
barn is built on the town site and a
tavern house is soon to be built; one
other house is soon to be built.
expect to have new carpenters to
work on mine soon.
The year 1863 was evidently a
hard one on the settlers of Sank Cen
tire. According to letters written
from here that summer, a drouth
had killed most of the crops and the
beef cattle problem was dubious
Most of the meat used m the com
munity that year was obtained by
hunting, as settlers claim that the
buffalo and other wild game on the
prairie near here was very plentiful
There is something of doubt as
to the exact date of the first steam
boat operation on Sank Lake. Ole
timers disagree as to the year II
which the craft was launched and put
into operation.
The year 1867 was first recorded
as the exact date, but Mr.. Barnard
in a letter written in 1868, speaks OF
the chill steamboat being in opera
ton"
Mr.. Whitefeld's bill for painting
the craft was dated April, 1879.

Friends of E. R. Ruggles met him
at the depot with brass band Fri
day night upon his return trip from
Washington and he was escorted to
the Commercial Club rooms where
VIM. Harrison, in a few pat remarks
officially notified Mr.. Ruggles that
while he was in Washington attend
ing the Inauguration of President
Warren G. Harding, his friends back
in the old home town had, with ma
terial assistance from the ladies,
drafted him for mayor. Mr.. Harri-
son said that it was great pleasure
to convey this information because
he knew Ruggles would make a good
mayor.
Mr.. Ruggles was deeply touched
by the demonstration and was at a
loss for the first time in his life for
words to express his appreciation of
the confidence reposed in him by the
old friends and neighbors with whom
he has been associated for nearly sc
years. He said it gave him great

though it will not be put into opera
ton until the other wheel arrives.
The power wheel is a hugh mass of
machinery and will develope much
greater power than the old wheel,
and with the two new ones and the
small wheel, which was not damaged
by the explosion, the power derived
from the dam will be more than
enough to carry the burden of the
granite works and the surpluss will
be sufficient to supply other de-
mands.-Cold Spring Record.

The train slowed down. 1t was
stopping at country village. On
one side of the track it was only Il

roat reason to desire and to work
incasahtly for realization on the

wholesome unlovliness. There are
dozens and dozens of such towns
tows unlike this one in every respect
but one, perhaps, but very like it in
their stark and unashamed ugliness
Every reader has seen them. The
town that fits into the country about
it as part of the landscape; the town
that does not seem some sort of an
unhealthy eXcrescense upon the face
Of the fields instead Of their natural
completion; the town that does not
fIaunt ugliness instead of beauty at
the passer-by, is the very exceptional
town. SO used .have I'VE become to
seeing the things that make our little
towns unsightly that we have come
to accept them as matters of course,
30 forget that they need not be ana
that their existence is proof Of our
lack of comprehension Of what town
should be and Of what is the true aim
Of industry and commerce.
There Is no good reason why the
village. the country town, the small
city should be unkempt and unlovely.
There is no reason why it should have
the disharmony of a Queen Anne
front and Mary Ann back and
then turn its back toward the world.
There is no reason why 1t should not
be clean and inviting, a-thing of whole
some satisfaction to its own inhabi-
tants and Of pleasant inspirations TO
the passing beholder.
It is not to be imagined that our
villages are going to be made over ill.,
TO model towns" to conform to any
ones aesthetic ideals,or that they are
going to cease to be, first Of all, places
Of business and SO adapted, first of all,
to business needs. The town is estab-
lished TO do business. People group
themselves into towns because they can
wv UtAHAlNNN u'AANl oV SibhbNN Aa''A''
when scattered abroad. They live in
town that they may be convenient TO
their business their work. Even tie
little burg Of twenty or fifty houses
exists for commercial reasons and is
dominated by its business houses
dominated by them both as regards its
appearance and as. regards its habits
OF life and thought. Our towns are
not going to be remade, or even chang
cd. save along business lines and for
business ends.
This much may as well be conceded
TO begin with; but, having conceded 1t,
let MS ask ourselves in all earnestness
whether good business demands the
building of unsightly towns. Then Let
us IN all honesty answer our own ques-
tion
