THREE DROWN|NGS
LAST SUNDAY.
THREE YOUNG MEN LOSE THEIR
LIVES IN FALL AND BIRCH
LAKES.

Rocking the Boat" was the cause
of two young men losing their lives
in the waters of Fall Lake Sunday.
The story of the drowning as told
by Lyle Trottier of Virginia, a
member of the party, was that him
self, Miles Shepard, Frank Bradach
and another young man were on
the lake Sunday.
Trottier was rowing, Shepard,
Bradach and the other lad, who was
water carrier at the Minnesota
Utilities company plant at Winton,
occupied other positions in the boat.
Shepard, riding in the end started
to rock the craft, despite warnings
from Trottier that it was dangerous.
When the boat overturned, ac-
cording to Trottier, the unidentified
lad started Immediately for shore,
Shepard SWAN slowly, Bradach
seemed to be all right and Trottier,
himself chung to the boat, as he is
not good swimmer. He states he
started for shore and passed Brad
ach Is feet out and asked him if
he could make it. Bradach did not
easily. Just then Shepard, who was
still far out, called for help and
Trottier discarded some of his cloth
ing on shore and started out after
the drowning boy.
He reached the overturned boat,
almost exhausted, thinking Shepard
would come up near that spot. He
was some distance away, however,
and Trottier could not effect his
rescue. A launch, with a number
of people, passed just then and the
drowning boys both cried for help.
Trottier waved his arms and called,
but could not attract the attention
of the passengers.
The bodies were recovered about
an hour after and brought to the
Laing undertaking rooms in this
city. The remains of Shepard were
taken to Virginia where he has
relatives and the funeral was held
Wednesday. The funeral of Brad
ach took place Tuesday from the
undertaking rooms, Rev. Father Mi
helcic officiating. The father and
brother of Bradach whose home was
at Gilbert were in the city to at
tend the burial of son and brother.
Another drowning took place
Sunday, this time in Birch Lake,
when Dona ]. Frenette lost his life.
The remains of this unfortunate
young man were also brought to this
city and the funeral will take place
today from the Catholic church.
Frenette with a party of three
others, went out on Birch lake in a
canoe and in some manner all were
precipitated into the water when
the canoe overturned. The others
swan to shore but Frenette, who
could not swim, was supposed to
cling to the canoe until help could
be gotten to him. When a boat
with rescuers arrived on the scene
the young man had disappeared I'M
der the water. The body was re-
covered after a short time of drag
ging and efforts were made TO re-
vive him, but of no avail He was
about 26 years of age and employed
as crusher foreman at Rabbit. His
mother arrived from Quebec, Can
ada, yesterday and the funeral will
take place today. Shepard and
Bradach were 10 years Of age.

UPKEEP COST
STATE HIGHWAYS.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT BULLE.
TIN SHOWS MAINTENANCE
EXPENSES ON DIFFER
EMIT KINDS OF
ROADS.

The fact that good roads more
than pay for themselves now being
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
Minnesota automobile taxpayers,
farmers and other citizens, the state
highway department in a new bull
letin lists comparative costs of high
way upkeep which show the econ
omy of paving heavy traffic routes
before other sections are improved.
Average mile expenditures for
maintenance during the first year
under the Babcock good roads plan,
according to the official figures,
were $500 on graveled, 1928 on
paved, and $181 ON unsurfaced Sec
tions of the trunk system, expert
ence with the last class showing a
limit on results regardless Of up
keep expenditures.
"Only about 80 miles of paving
is being paid for with state highway
funds this year, the remainder be-
ing financed with reimbursement
money which must be used IN the
counties issuing the bonds" said
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner. Paving is neces-
sary, on some heavily travelled
routes on which money is being
wasted IN excessive maintenance
costs, to best serve great numbers
of highway users and hasten other
improvements. When highway
carries more than 1000 vehicles q
day, the cost Of maintaining even q
fair gravel surface exceeds the
pavement cost, interest charges in
cluded."

Awakened to the fact that Min
nesota; once a timber covered state
with millions of acres of forest
lands, has had its forests exploited
with no thought of renewal, state
authorities are doing experimental
work with a view of reforesting
the state. For the most part this
experimental work is confined to
the forestry department, University
of Minnesota, at Cloquet, although
surveys and experimental tracts are
located in other northern Mime
sofa localities.

GIRL SCOUTS
CAMP INC OUT.
NEW CAMP GROUNDS FITTED
BY THE ROTARY CLUB NOW
IN USE.

The first of the Girl Scout Troops
to go into camp on the new camp
grounds secured and fitted out by
the Rotary Club, went out yester-
day morning and more are follow
ing today. There will be twenty
four in the party with Miss Karlson
and Miss Lampi = in charge. The
girls in their uniforms left in the
truck of the city and started with
the finest of prospects for an ele-
giant supervised oHting.
The grounds a. ideally located
for Scout purposes on Burnside
Lake about aaarter of mile
from Camp Van Vac on the south
shore. A bathing beach is provid-
ed and about an acre Of ground
has been brushed out. A log din
ing room, "a x "a, has been erect
ed and tents with floors installed
sufficient to care for "a at one
time. Later more tents will be
added. The camp site possesses a
fine spring, in itself an asset al
though the waters of BURNSIDE are
fit to drink at any time.
The High School troops are oc-
cupying the grounds at the present
time and will remain ten days when
the grade troops will go out. The
Boy Scouts will also occupy the
place later in tn season. The State
Scout executives will hold their con-
vention at the camp later when it
is expected Mrs. Herbert Hoover,
the National head of the orgauiza-
ton will be here. There are also
prospects of securing the 1923 or
1924 convention of the National or
ganization for this camp providing
the conditions are favorable. This
would mean a convention of about
2,4O0 and would entail a large
amount of work to properly care for
them.

ments to swell the big mileages oz
contract construction already made
public. Provision is made also ia
continue the patrol service over the
entire system and otherwise carry
out established maintenance routine.
The upksep this season, however.
will be mainly on roads which have
been built by counties before taken
over by the state, whereas during
the first year under Babcock plan
much new mileage was covered by
shaping and crawling forces.
The list totals $426,125 and will
be increased by s175,00 when COM
plete maintenance superintendents in
several districts having still to sab
NIT recommendations. A balance Of
nearly 100000 set aside for 1922
maintenance operations will pay the
army of 1000 patrolmen, make
bridge and other repairs and cover
many miscellaneous items Of road
upkeep.

DAILY VACATION
BIBLE SCHOOL.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
NEXT SUNDAY MORNING AT
1890.

The Presbyterian Daily Vacation
Bible School will hold its Com
mencement Exercises Sunday, July
23rd, at ten-thirty o'clock. Parents
and friends of the children, and
members of the Church are cordial
ly invited to attend.
The School completed its four
weeks session Friday and the Sun

a secular nature, three psalms, one
chapter, and the names of the books
of the Bible. There has also been
a standard course of Bible and Mis-
sion stories and supervised recrea-
ton.
In addition to the program there
will be an exhibit of all the craft
work made during the 10 days of
the School. This includes II ham,
mocks, baskets of all descriptions,
sandwich trays, mats, doll cradles,
card trays, posters, coping-saw work,
and paper folding and cutting by
the younger pupils.
The School has had an average
of seventy-five with the
enrolment of the last week prac-
tically the same as that of the first,
showing the popularity of the School.
Miss Alma Munson, of St. Paul, has
been in charge and much of the
success of the School has been due
to her ability as a leader and an
executive. Members of the faculty
are: Miss Munson, Mrs. Mcleod
Miss Rautio, Mrs. Coombe, Mrs.
Duncan, and Mr.. Browne. In addi-
ton, the following have assisted dur
ing the term: Miss Martin, Miss

MUCH INTEREST
SCHOOL ELECTION.
A TOTAL OF 1898 VOTES CAST
INTEREST IN OUTCOME
INTENSE.

The annual school meeting of
district No. IL, the proceedings of
which are published officially in an
other column, opened at 8 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. After reading
the report of the treasurer and act
ing on the same the polls were de-
clared open for the election of two
directors to fill the expired terms of
DIR. H. j. Lockhart and Mrs H. s..
King.
The voting was brisk right from
the start, over 200 ballots having
been cast in the first hour. Voting
was continuous and brisk until after
z o'clock when the rush started.
Since the election claims have been
made that many illegal votes were
cast. How far this goes we are not
prepared to say but would say
that in the absence of any method
of checking the memory Of the
judges cannot always be relied upon
and in all probability there were
some illegal votes cast. For those
who voted illegally, we will state
that the laws governing Illegal vot-
ing in school elections are Just as
drastic as those governing regular
elections and those guilty can be
prosecuted. 1t has been reported
that check is being made and the
status of some of those casting bal
lots will be looked into.
The school laws should be so
amended as to supply registration
of voters the same as any other
election. A voting precinct should
also be established at Winton and
White Iron. 1t is a far fetched
assumption that the judges of cleo
ton in a district the size of this
are capable of personally remember
ing every voter. The population is
shifting from year to year and new
people and new faces are entitled
to vote. New citizens are also
yearly being made by the courts
and people whom the election
judges have never seen appear at
the polls. The only question which
was propounded in suspicious cases
was, care. you a legal voter?" and
upon an affirmative answer, a ticket
was given out. Only two of the
ShSAAC huAnOCI W WAOH1 OutS-
ton was propounded, refused to
accept the ballot. One was a
young man who secured his papers
last week and the other a high
school girl who had been informed
by some of the campaign workers
that the legal age for woman was
Is years.
At 9 o'clock the polls were closed
after 1898 ballots had been cast.
Considering the vote cast at the
last primary election in this city
and Winton, when it was estimated
that only three-ffths of the entire
voting strength was shown, the vote
of last Saturday was quite light al
though heavier than at any previ-
Gus school election. With Robinson.
Burnside, Winton and everything
south nearly to the Birch lake
school in this district, there should
have been 1900 or more votes
polled.
The canvas of the vote cast
showed divergence of opinion on
the part of the voter. The figures
as tabulated showed the following

AUTO ENGINEER HAS TO SOLVE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS
IN FRAME, DISTRIBUTION or WEIGHT NEEDED

Designing a al that will meet
with popular favor is NJ easy task.
An automobile engineer must con
slider a great many things before
he can turn out a product that win
meet with the approval of thousands
OF Motor Car buyers. 1t is certainly
a most particular task" maintains
Mont Gallup of the Gallup Motor
Co., the local Durant dealer.
Catering to the requirements Of
a market of millions OF people the
world over is what the automobile
engineer has to do. So he has to
design carefully and construct his
car with precision. He has a great
many things to ponder over in his
preliminary york before getting his
a under way.
Primarily, the engineer must
build n car that will render service,
be commented upon favorably. and
guarantee n steady demand. In
short. the car must make good in
every possible way. He must adapt
n design that represents the best
thoughts and ideas gained from ex-
perience. and the material specified
must measure up to the require
ments in minute detail.
"For instance. in planning the chas-
sis. there must be balance every
where. True relationship must exist
between the motor and the clutch.
between the clutch and the trans
mission, and between the transmits
sion and the driving unit. A cor
rect distribution of weight through
out is also necessary and there must
be Incorporated a certain rigidity
which tenSs to keep the body solid
and free from strain and squeaks.
1.-THE total weight must be con
sidered, too. A a too light is dan
gerous on the road. while one that
is too heavy cuts deep into the ex.
pense account. The weight must be
proportioned to the power of the mo-
tor and tho capacity OF the car. in
