Major General Creed c. Ham,
mond Will Be in Augusta
Early in August-Inspection
of Troops Either in Capital
City or Auburn - Camp
Keyes to Be Looked Over
And Its Future Determined
by Him

Major General Creed c. Hammond
chief of the Militia Bureau of the
U. S. War Department at Washing
ton, will pay an official visit to Au-
gusta early in the month of August
So far as is known. this is the first
time that a chief of the bureau has
visited the Pine Tree State.
The exact date when Gen. Ham
mond will be in Augusta is not GER
tain, but it will probably be on Aug,
10 or IL during the annual encamp-
ment of the 103rd Infantry. The
103rd will begin their tour of duty
at Camp Keyes on August l for 15
days. The latter part of the time,
however. will be spent in a hike TO
the state range at Auburn.
Gen: Hammond will, in all proba =
bility visit this regiment while it is
on the road between Augusta and
Auburn or after it arrives at Au-
burn. After his inspection Of the
regiment, he will visit Camp Keyes
to inspect that property. His per-
sonal inspection of the camp, 1t Is
believed, will have much to do with
determining the attitude of the Mi
litia Bureau as to further improve
ments.
Gen. Greed c. Hammond is a ma
tive Of Oregon and has been chief of
the Militia Bureau for about a
month. He succeeds Maj. Gen
George c. Richards, who was ap-
pointed to the position in 1921 as the
first to fill the office under the new
law that the chief of the bureau
should be a National Guard officer
Gen. Hammond, therefore, is the Sec
ond National Guard Chief of the Mi
htia Bureau and will be in office for
four years.
General Hammond has announced
that it is his intention during his
four years to visit every Ma ational
Guard camp in the country. He be-
gan his visits last Sunday and Mon
day when he was at Camp Trumbuil
Mantle, Conn. There he saw Maj jor
Gen. Harry M. Payne, commander
of the 43rd Division, and the divi-
sional staff and special troops and
the 169th Infantry, one of the regi-
ments of the S5th Brigade.
He left Mantle for Rhode Island
to visit two artillery camps there
and planned this month a trip to
Camp Devens upon the completion OF
which he will return to Washington
In August. he will return to New
England to visit the camps of Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont.
1t is not often that Augusta has
the privilege of receiving a visit
from an officer so high as a Major
General, especially one who holds so
responsible position as that of Gen.
Hammond and it has been suggested i
that some special entertainment be
provided for him.

Great Northern Stations
May Be Discontinued
Rumor Has 1t That Round Prairie,
Little Sank and West Union
May Go

Rumor has it that there is a like.
lihood Of discontinuing the stations
on the Great Northern at Little Saul
and Round Prairie.
At the request of the Great North
ern Railway company, hearing is
being held before the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission in St. Paul
today in which the company is sub
hitting evidence to show that the
amount of business done at each of
these stations is not sufficient to war;
rant the expense of depots.
We understand that the Little
Sank station does business of about
$4,000 per year and the Round Pra-
irie station about $4,000 per year :.
The least amount of business which
the company claims will justify the
establishing of a depot, is $4,000 per
year.
We understand also that the hear
ing involves discontinuance of depots
at Dorset, West Union, Melby and
Lawnsdale.
The Railroad Commission will take
several days or a couple of weeks to
make a decision. 1t. will be too bad
if these depots are discontinued be-
cause their presence is a great con-
venience to the people.-Long Prairie

.MEJERTON TO LEAVE

HAS PLAYED BIG PART IN DE-

SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED
MAY ENTER PRIVATE BUSINESS
in THIS CITY-WILL REST
COUPLE MONTHS -..-

Most of the patrons of the Sank
Lake Cooperative Creamery of this
city, and Sank Centre people general
ly will be greatly surprised to learn
that Axel Mejerton who has been the
wide awake and efficient operator of
the creamery for the past four and
one-half years, has rendered his res
ignation to the Board of Directors,
effective June 80, 1925.
With the coming of Mr.. Mejerton
to the Sank Lake creamery the bust
ness began to make rapid upward,
strides. For the first four months
of 1920, 67,364 pounds of butter
were manufactured. In the same per-
iod in 1924, 19O,869 pounds were
manufactured and for the first four
months this year 100000 pounds have.
been made. -@1-.-- ~-s
The Herald does not know the
circumstances which led up to Mr.,
Mejerton's resignation, but universal
regret will be expressed when the
announcement of his retirement is
generally known.
The gentleman stated to the Her.
aid editor Tuesday that he did rot
have any definite plans for the inn
mediate future. He may embark in
some other business in Sank Centre
or he may accept another creamery.
However, he will rest and recuperate
for couple. of months before he
takes on any new responsibilities
The Herald voices the universal
hope in the community in the wish
that Mr.. and Mrs Mejerton will
continue to make this city their home.
The Herald understands that the
board have not selected Mr. Meier
toms successor. 1t is said that they
are considering the Little Sank bat
termaker, and also that there is a
possibility that the position will be
rendered the second man now en-
ployed at the Sank Lake creamery.
