OLD CITY LANDMARK
DESTROYED BY FIRE
RESIDENCE OF HI. A. KAMPSEN
IN SOUTH PART OF CITY
BURNED THURSDAY
OUTSIDE WATER ZONE
HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS ON FIRST
FLOOR REMOVED-PARTIAL-
LY INSURED

The destruction by fire of the large
elght-room residence owned by Henry
A. Kampsen, in the south part of the
city, last Thursday afternoon, was the
most serious confagratien which has
visited Sank Centre for sometime.
The property was for many years
owned and occupied by Lyman M.
Kells and at one time was one of the
most modern residences in the CITY.
Mr.. Kells disposed of the property
some years ago, and prior to April
1922 the home was owned for several
years and occupied by the family of
w. S. Engle at which time Mr.. Kamp-
sen purchased the property and took
possession.
Mr.. Kampsen stated to the Herald
that the room in the west end of the
house was used for milk house and
about 800 o'clock in the afternoon he
built soft coal and wood fire in this
room, and shut the stove up. He saws.
that he left home shortly before 400
o'clock and everything was apparently
all right. He drove directly to the
Central MINI. Power and Milling
Company mill and after loading some
iced, got as far back up town as
George R. Bergman & Co., when the
lire alarm was turned in. He stopped
at the Wedge Hardware Company and
was Informed that he had best hurry
home, because his house was on fire.
The Volunteer Fire Department and
many citizens and neighbors were on
the scene Of the fire very quickly but
as the building was located we'll be-
yond the limits of Sank Centres
present water system, the only assist
ance that could be rendered was in
| the moving OF the househald effects.
Everything on the first floor was re-
moved in fairly good condition. A
bed out OF one room on the second
floor was the only article removed
from up stairs. According to state
ment made by Mr.. Kampsen to the
Herald Wednesday afternoon, he car
RED $500 insurance on his household
effects and places the loss on the
clothing and furniture on the second
floor at $500. 90.
Good judges say that the house
could not be replaced for less than
$4,000. Upon this property Mr..
Kampsen carried an insurance of
$4,000.
No one seems to know exactly how
the fire started. Mr.. Kampsen's
theory is that it was caused from an
explosion, as the fire was well under
way when it was discovered by the
family.
The Kampsen's spent Thursday eve
ming at the homes of neighbors and
on Friday they moved into the Nick
Bromenshenkel house, corner of 9Th
and Birch, where they will reside un-
til Mr.. Kempsen gets a new home
erected, work on which will begin as
soon as possible in the spring. The
! new house will not be as large as the
old one.

heavy attack of the Melrose team.
From start to finish it was a strenu-
Gus contest, but Melrose with an ex-
.perienced team lead by David Mickey
found our boys weak on defense. The
locals had very poor luck in basket
shooting, which accounted more or
less for the low score.
The game ended "a to Ia, and the
closeness of the score represents the
strength of the two teams.
The girls game was a very good
exhibition of basket ball. The score
of this game was 6 to a; but botl
teams were unable to connect with the
rim, thus the low scores. This is the
second consecutive victory for the To-
cal girls team.
Long Prairie plays here on Friday.
According to newspaper reports from
there, they have two very good teams.
Coach Morgan will have a stronger
team on the floor this week, for men
that were enthusiastically ineligible are
now doing passing work. The Long
Prairie girls team is the strongest
team that town has had in years
However, the locals intend to continue
their winning streak.

BONDS Will HASTEN
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
COMMISSIOER POINTS WAY TO
AVOID UNNECESSARY DELAY
IN PLANS
NO INCREASE in TAXES
EVERY LOCALITY IN STATE TO
RENEFIT-PRESENT PLAN
UNFAIR

Sank Centre and vicinity have much
at stake in the highway bond propos-
ais which will mean more good roads
for the present, cut waste of money
for highway upkeep and lower high
way transportation and travel costs,
all without cent of increase in taxes,
according to Charles M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner.
The bond plan, it is conceded, will
bring in the next two years highway
improvements, many of which other
wise must wait five and ten years and
even longer. It's supporters now are
predicting favorable action by the leg
islature and further that after results
are apparent on trunk highways all
over the state in the fall of 1924 tire
legislator who has voted against the
proposals will have all the excuses to
make.
Commissioner Babcock makes plain
that the bond plan merely opens a
fairer and better way to use the au-
tomobile taxes already coming in and
that it is not a matter of taxes. emo
tor vehicle taxes being collected now
will have to be paid each year and
.. used on the state trunk highways I'M
der the Minnesota constitution which
even the legislature cannot change or
modify" he said. Although they are
slightly less than under the old person
al property tax law, the highway de-
.partment is not asking or planning
for any increase in the agreed tax
of $18 on the average automobile. 1t
has been carefully figured out that
the money at the rate it is now COM
ing in will pay the principal end in
terest on all bonds and and leave suf-
fcient each year to take care of other
demands
"The bond proposals is to put tc
the best and fairest use given
amount-the funds which will come
from automobile taxes during the
next twenty years." continued the
commissioner.
"Under present plans, as has been

is paying for past, present and future
road improvements and not getting
their fair returns for their tax dol
lars. More than $2,500,000 of the
1922 auto tax funds were used for
permanent work-grading and so
forth-which will serve for many
years to come. If like amount is
used in each succeeding year, the 1928
taxpayer will profit by the use of $5.-
0OO, 900 and the 1882 taxpayeA by $685.
600, 900 of these permanent highway
betterments although the later pay no
higher automobile taxes than the
owner of last year.
"The proposed bond plan will level
the returns. Anticipating the taxes
to be paid each year, it will enable the
state to spread the entire costs with
interest ON bonds over the term, to
apportion to each year its fair share
of the whole expense, and give the
taxpayers of the present and the
near future more just treatment. The

Two Harbors Basket Ball
Team Too Fast for Locals
Visitors Speediest Aggregation Ever
Appearing in This Cfty-Sauk
Centre Makes Good Showing

The basket ball game at the Junior
High Auditorium last evening be-
tween the Sank Centre Legionaires
and the Two Harbors professional ag-
gregation attracted a capacity house.
Up to date Two Harbors has only lost
one game this season, and those who
had made study Of basket ball did
not expect the local team to win out
over them but hoped they would be
able to hold them to a respectable
score.
Just to add a little pep to the party
the visitors scored a couple of field
baskets in the first minute and a half
