Elk Horn Found in Woods
on Wednesday Afternoon
D. E. Bradley Discovered Interesting
Relic East Of Sank Centre Pre-
sented to Public Schools

Wednesday of this week as D. E.
Bradley was working in the woods
on Mrs. Molitor's farm east of Sank
Centre, near large spring he found
a horn of an elk which had undoubt-
edly been there for many years "a
relic Of pioneer days.
The right prong of the horn had
either been broken or rotted off aud
the prong on the left side near the
base had also been partially rotted
off.
When Mr.. Bradley founc this relic
st Tas nearly completely covered with
dirt and from the size of the. horn the
animal must have been of an'isual
size ant capable of protecting him
self in combat.
Mr.. Bradley found a horn about
the same size a year ago and pre-
scented it to the public schools. Tt
is thought that the one he found yes
tcrday is very likely the mate to the
ane he found a year ago.
The horn found Wednesday after
noon will also be turned over to the
public schools and will make an in
,erssting relic for future generations.

Sank Centre Community Club to
Banquet Next Wednesday Night

credit t. Sank Centre and pleasant
surprise is in store for those who
attend the banquet who have not
visited the new club rooms before.
The Community Club rooms are
bound to become popular as they
are ideally equipped for the purpose
of serving church dinners, and other
public functions.
At recent meeting sof the stock
place the Club rooms at the disposal
of any Legitimate farmers meeting
without one cent of cost.
The completion of the Club rooms
is realization of what many consid
er vision by Pres. w. A. Moore
when he reluctantly accepted the
head of the organization last winter.
For a number of years the ques-
ton of re-arranging the second story
of the city hall for such a purpose
has been talked of, but it needed a
head with the vigor and foresight OF
a "Bill" Moore to work out a prac-
teal plan and bring it to success
full completion. One hundred OF
Sank Centres citizens practically do.
Moore's ideas and the City Council
mated $500 each to carry out Mr..
lent it's cooperation to make it a fl.
nal success.
Ift any of the club members have
not yet purchased their tickets for the
banquet you can be taken care of BY
getting in touch with anyone of The
banquet committees.

For many years Sank Centre has
been looking forward to the time
when a bridge would be built across
Sank Lake at the Narrows, north OF
the city, making it possible fol-
farmers living in that locality te
reach Sank Centre, thier natural
trading point, in the shortest possible
distance.
Since the adoption of the Babcocl
Highway system of good roads, there
has been a concerted but quiet eff.
fort to have the route of No be-
tween Sank Centre and Long Prairie
diverted from where it runs at pres,
emit to cross the lake at the Narrows
and from there run north to Little
Sank, skirting the entire west side
of Sank Lake, passing between Ceda,
Lake and the railroad, and then or
into Little Sank and Long Prairie
This route not only opens up new
territory for Sank Centre but short.
ems the distance between this city and
Long Prairie materially, doing away
with a very nasty railroad eros
sings, number of hills as well as
several sharp and dangerous curves
The people of Kandota township
and the villages of Little Sank ano
Round Prairie have been materially
interested in having this new route
established. The farmers living
along the route affected, have pledged
to donate the necessary right OF way
to the State OF, Minnesota for the
new roads,. if the suggested route
should be followed. The Highway
department have lately investigated
the proposed route and have definite
ly decided to permanently locate
Highway No. 4 on the new route.
Andrew Hendrickson, Kandota town
ships live sWire farmer, has worked
INCREASINGLY for years for this road
He met with many rebuffs and over
came many obstacles and it is very
largely through his personal effort
after an expenditure of considerable
amount of time and funds in making
trips to St. Paul, in going over TIE
proposed route with the engineer OF
the Highway department, that this
new route has been definitely To-
Gated. Of late he was assisted by
former Mayor A. L. Ingram, and
other Sank Centre citizens, but the
lions share of the credit belongs to
Mr.. Hendrickson.
In designating the proposed route
as the one which will become part
OF Babcock highway, Mr.. Babcock Is
entitled to the sincere thanks and APP
probation of the people of Sank Cen
ire, Kandota township, Little Sank,
Round Prairie, and Long Prairie.
The following is the description of
the new route furnished the Herald
by Mr.. Hendrickson which will be of
interest in this connection:
"The Minnesota Highway Depart
-ment has decided to locate trunk
highway No. 4 from Sank Centre to
Long Prairie over the following route
From the palmer House corner
north along Main street to the north
end of the street; thence along the
old Minnesota Territorial Road, known
as the old Long Prairie Road, road
that is said to have been cut open by
the party that moved the Winnebago
Indians to Long Prairie in 1848, and
established, as part of a territorial
road from ST. Cloud to Long Prairie,
by the Minnesota Territorial Legis-
lature in Feb. 1856, and a few days

forHighway Number Four

later the same Legislature, established
a similar road from Fort Ripley to
Fort Ridgey via Long Prairie, ever
the same route from Long Prairie to
Sank Centre.
"The location of the said trunk
highway, follows said old road, about
three quarters of a mile; thence
crosses the Narrows If the lake to the
South Point" on the Hooper Farm,
and in a straight line to the road
running north and south through sec
lions 81, ~ and thence continuing
north on the. quartz line through
sections %, 15 and 10 in Kandota to
the rail road at the kandota station
thence north along the east side of the
railroad right of way, to the south
west corner of Lake Charlotte about
two miles south of Long Prairie where
it intersects and follows the present
state road into Long Prairie. The
distance from the Palmer House
corner" to the lower end of Osakis
Street in Long Prairie over this route
is only few feet over 10 miles,
which is about two and three-fourths
miles shorter than the present road.
''The. new road skirts the entire
west side of Sank Lake, and passes
between Cedar Lake and the railroad,
and only deviates from the railroad
slightly to get in line with the street
in Little Sank, and so as to go east
of the buildings on the Charles john
son farm north of Little Sank.
The location of this road over this
route means new bridge over the
river at Little Sank, and bridge, and
filing in of the Narrows of Saut
Lake and besides what that means to
the city of Sank Centre, it will give
good road close to the Summer Re-
sort townsites of Spring Park, and
Fredheim, to the railroad station Of
kandota, and through the villages Of
Little Sank and Round Prairie, and
gives to the treveling public, a good
level road, free from dangerous
curves, and without any railroad
crossing from Sank Centre to Long
Prairie.
THE bridging of 77,ie Narrows ard
a road over this route is not new
thing. 1t has been agitated for the
last 455years.
"The first man to advocate it, and
talk of its Feasibility, and predict
that some day il. would be, was Daniel
Buckley, who lived north O. town. He
commenced to agitate for this at the
time the dam went out in 1879.
"Hon. Alexander Moore was
strong supporter of the plan, and
When in the legis lai!ce worked for 1t
there. Chas. Hendrix when editor
of the Herald was a strong supporter
of the idea, and had it not been fol-
the building of the railroad to Long.
Prairie in 1882, the scheme would
probably been carried out about that
time.

some improvements on the road, west
from the Casey-Baldwin corner to

road from the city to the Todd County
line passable Sank Centre can show
up one of the finest drives in the
state, and the ultimate result will be
that our long neglected lake facilities,
will come to it's own.
The Minnesota Highway Depart
ment, Mr.. Babcock and his assistants
has now made all these things pos
Sible.

by the automobile that the trade ter,
