Early Men and Hard Toll
DR.. Chauney Hobart, father of
Minnesota Methodism tells of heroic
faith and struggles of the early days
in most fascinating manner. He
says: "the year 1855 had been one
of very great toll and poor support
and most of the Minnesota preachers
had become familiar with swimming
rivers, wading sloughs, wallowing
through snow drifts and travelling
with or without roads and that every
settlement in the entire territory
had been visited and classes formed
wherever it could be done."
Early Sank Centre Preachers
Methodist preachers made Sank
river settlements as early as 1853

of the Minnesota District in 1853, in

Sank Centre M =. Church
Celebrates Goth Birthday

ing Elder in 1866 was Rev. Charles
Griswold and that fall the first class
was fully organized and quaretdly
conferences held.
First Glass or Members
From the historical records we get
the following: "The first Methodist
society northwest of st. Cloud was
organized by Rev. B. A. Kemp in
Sank Centre, November 1865. The
society then consisted of the follow
ing members: F. H. Tubbs, Betsy H.
Tubbs, Henry L. Tubbs, Sarah Long
fellow, Naomi Du Pry, Lovicy c..
Moore, Sylvester Bohannon, Dean
Stabler, Thomas Holmes and William
j. Holmes and the first quarterly con-
ference was held in Sank Centre
Dec. 9th, 1866"
The preaching place was mostly in
homes of the members, in hall, or
store or hotel, for the first few years
until satisfactory church building
could be secured.
In 1867 under pastorate of Rev.
J. H. MaComber very expensive
and elaborate parsonage was built,
but however nice it was, it was too
costly for the day and small society.
A heavy debt was lodged against it.
This debt grew until it became so
burdensome the class could not han
die it, the mortgage was foreclosed,
the property passed into other hands.
This was a great loss to this new
and hopeful organization. 1t took
several years to recover fully from
the effects of this blow. The pastors
were compelled to find living quar-
tiers wherever they could and at the
Inconvenience they were many times
Who knows but out of
their early trials and disappointments
on the part of faithful people grew
the good spirit that made the present
fine parsonage home possible.

Quarantine On
Alfalfa Strict,
Meal Admitted

Director G. II. Hccke of the Ca
ifornia State Department of Agri-
culture has announced that alfalfa
hay or other hay or straw Will not
be admitted into California from
the alfalfa wecvil infested areas
but that il has been determined
after careful investigation Of the
various alfalfa meal mills in Utah,
Nevada and Oregon that it is safe
to admit alfalfa from certain Of these
mills which have been approved byI
him in writing. The quarantine.
amendment permitting the entrance
of alfalfa meal into California has
been approved by Governor Rich
ardson.
During the past six years invcs,
LEGATIONS have been carried on at
various times to determine whether
or not live Wecvil could withstand
the process to which alfalfa hay
was subjected in converting this hay
into meal. Study was also made as
to the possibility of contamination
Of this product after ii was millcd
and placed in sacks for shipment.
It is only recently that the c0Hstruc-
/ ton and equipment of these mills
have been improved to such an cX,
! tent that California has been able to
consider the possibility Of admitting
meal from them. Even at the
/ present time there are only two
mills out Of Il great number that
( in any sense have met the safety
requirements as laid down by the
! amended quarantine.
EXTREME CARE USED
The last Investigations have been
/ conducted with extreme care by
y. c. FIcurr, supervising quarantine,
officer, and -. b. Mackie, Entomo-
iogist of the bureau of plant quaran-
/ sine and pest control. Hundreds of
