Proposed Summa IoteI
Project Falls Through
Proposition of A. j. DuBeau to Build
$4,000 Hosiery on Lake Shore
Dies a BOrnin'

The latter part of the last week Mr..
and Mrs. A. :. DuBeau of Fargo
were in the city Investigating sum-
mer hotel project on the shore of
Sank Lake, near the Country Club.
They were shown lots laid out by the
Country Club which had been pur-
chased by the stockholders of the
club. They stated that they would
rather live in Sank Centre than any
spot on earth, and that if the people
of Sank Centre would donate to them
this lake site that they would at once
commence the erection of a $4,000
summer hotel.
The 26 lot owners were called to-
gether Friday evening and finally de-
cided to turn their lots back to the
Country Club to further this plan
After the passage of several tele-
grams and telephone communications
Mr.. DuBeau stated Wednesday that
he had not disposed of the Waldorf
at Fargo and until such time as he
did he could not take up the Sank
Centre project. He said however, he
would be down in ten days and talk
the matter over.
The Herald understands that the
$4,000 necessary to get title to the
lots was to be raised by public sub
ecription. In view of the fact that
many have already eco operated" to
the extent of about $4,000 on another
summer project the Herald is of the
opinion that the shedding to raise this
fund at this time would be a little
"tuff."
