Illegal Fishers Rounded

Make Law Violation in This Sec
ton an Expensive Luxury

State Game and Fish Commission
er Carlos Avery several weeks ago
sent Deputy Rustad Of Gaylord into
this vicinity and that gentleman
worked quietly and effectively in an
endeavor to round up some OF ne
illegal fishing in the lakes OF west
ern Searns and Todd counties.
Among those arrested, convicted and
fined were:
VIM. Brick in Grey Eagle arrested
for having trap nets on Lady Lake

Martin convicted of catching under
sized fish in Bass Lake near Grey
Eagle and was fined $1,000. Theo-
dore Fiereabend, secretary of the
Grey Eagle creamery was fined $1,000
and costs for using more than one
line. Thomas Hellyer and Andrew
Severson were each fined in Sank

White WAY SYSTEM
Being DISCUSSED
IMPROVED STREET LIGHTING
SYSTEM FOR SAUK CENTRE
THIS COMING YEAR
WILL USE SINGLE POSTS
MAINTENANCE COST AFTER IN
STALLATION AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR TO CONSIDER

The style of lamps and posts to
be erected for the white way which
will adorn Sank Genres business
streets before the close of the pres
ent season is exciting quite little
comment among the citizens of the
city.
The plans and specifications SUBJ
mitted by Engineer Wolff calls for
the single light post. During the
past few days there has been some
agitation for the cluster light used
in so many cities.
The cluster lights are obsolete as
far as modern white way systems are
concerned. Many cities have them,
of course. A number have taken
them out, but none Of the new white
ways systems erected for the past
two or three years have anything but
some form of a single post.
In installing white way system
the important feature to be consid-
cred after the practicabiliy of the
improvement has been decided upon
is the cost of maintenance after the
system is completed.
Sank Genre has only $4,000 to
invest in this improved street light
ing system. The plans and specifi-
cations prepared by City Engineer
Wolff will permit the illumination Of
the street leading north and east
from the Great Northern depot to
Main and Fifth street, north on Main
street to the Sank River bridge and
east and west on Third street from
Main and Third. The single light
posts installed under this plan will
cost the city a least $1,000 more per
year for street lights than they are
paying at present. From the BEST in
formation obtainable the cluster
lights would not only cost consider
ably more to install but the cost of
their upkeep following installation is
almost prohibitive.
The, Light and Power Commission
are committed to the single post idea
as are the City Council. The matter
was presumed to be discussed at a
Commercial Club meeting to be held
last evening; but meeting develop
ed into an informal discussion on the
street and as near as the Herald
could ascertain the majority of the
people were in favor of allowing the
Water and Light Commission to in
stall the system, confident that they
would work for the best interest Ct

keen between Belgrade and Rich

and will insist upon the teams play
ing ball every minute.

"People who have read Main
Street call me a moralist and a

of international fame, in his first pub

state since he has gained literary en-
inence. The occasion was an inform
al gathering of old friends and form

ing of the new home Of the ST. Cloud
Country club, last Tuesday evening.
The red-headed boy who left Sank
Centre not SO many years ago, then
unknown to the outside world, was ap-
pearing to excellent advantage in a
Is minute impromptu to toast. That
the occasion and the surroundings
were both congenial was evidenced by
the apparent enjoyment Mr.. Lewis
had in making his talk, feeling fully
shared by the audience, which was de
lightfully en- rapport with the speak

who was raised in a small town,
reserve the right to criticize the
things that I think are wrong in the
small town.

takes it for granted that you know
these things. He thinks it your mis-

when we have 20 generations CT en-
cestors and a history rich with many
great things, we, too, may get into
that attitude. But just now / am

is very true that we Americans are
a very boastful lot, and especially in
the West.
