CATHOLICS OF ELROSA PARISH
COMPLETE BEAUTIFUL AND
COMMODIOUS
MANY PEOPLE ATTEND
STRUCTURE COST COMPLETE
$4,000; INTERIOR BEAUTI-
Fully FURNISHED
(Melrose Beacon)

The St. Peter and St. Paul Catho-
lie church at Elrosa was dedicated
by Rt. Rev. Bishop Joseph Busch
Tuesday forenoon amid large gath
ering of priests and members of the
Elrosa ad neighboring parishes.
Following the blessing of the ex-
terror and the interior of the church
a solemn high mass was held in the
presence of the Bishop, Rev. J. Will
lenbrink of Melrose being the cele-
brant and Rev. Fearon of Sank Gen.
tire and Rev. Linz of Lake Henry the
deacons. The deacons of honor were
Rev. Gerard of New Munich and
Rev, Buescher of Spring Hill. Rev.,
Renner of Alexandria was presby-
tiers assistant, and Rev. Schirmers
of Osakis and Rev. Kunkel of KIM
balls, masters of ceremony. Rev.
Bussman of st. Francis was cross,
bearer.
The following priests were in the

routed across the narrows of Sank
Lake. With the city owning the dam
and keeping the lake up to a 10-foot
level the unsightly weeds will disap-
pear in year or two and large num-
Der of summer homes will be built
along the shores Of Sank Lake. De-
sirable lake property within a con-
venient distance from the Twin Cities
is getting scarce. When the paving
is completed Minneapolis business
man can reach his summer home on
Sank Lake by auto in less than three
hours.
At the recent primary election 861
citizens of Sank Centre participated
at the polls-the largest vote ever
cast in the city. Well over 600
signers had been secured on the pc
titions up to this Thursday noon e.
When the city is entirely canvassed
the total will pass the 700 mark.
The signers represent over 80 per
cent of the taxes paid in Sank Cen
ire and over 80 per cent of money
paid every year for electric current.
The keeping of the lake level to a
10-foot head will also reclaim large
acreage of meadow land between
Sank Centre and Spring Hill as this
land is overlooked with the mill draw
ing the lake level down to low point
which also makes a naturally beauti-
full body Of water an unsightly mass
of weeds each year. The milling COM
pany. cannot be criticised for this
as the dam and fowage rights belong
to the company to use for power pur.
poses.
If the city owns the dam the Mill.
ing Company will be allowed to pur.
chase the excess water over a stipu'
lated level for power.
Old timers recall the terrific fight
which arose when it was proposed tx
purchase the ground now occupied
by the city park, the claim being
made that the price was excessive.
Within a comparatively short time
every citizen of Sank Centre pointed
with pride to the beautiful park. His.
tory will repeat itself in this respect
after the city comes into full posses
sion of the dam and flowage right:
now owned by the Central MINI

LOCAL MAN SPEAKS

w. P. Arndt, district manager for
Minnesota Building & Loan returned
to Sank Centre Wednesday evening
from Minneapolis where he had at
tended the annual meeting of the
National League of Building & Loan
which was held at the Shubert Thea
tire, this week. There were over
1000 delegates in attendance and the
meeting proved very educational to
those attending. The delegates were
entertained while in Minneapolis by
the Lumbermen of that city. Tuesday
evening in the Gold Room of the Rad
ison Hotel starting at 500 o'clock an
oratorical contest was staged in which
one speaker from each state took part,
each being limited to five minutes.
Mr.. Arndt of this city was chosen to
represent Minnesota and for his linn
tied time spoke on "The Home and
it's Relation to Building and Loan"

The citizens of Sank Centre by a
very large majority are in favor Of
the purchase of the dam by the city
Petitions are being circulated in
every part of the city this week re-
questing the Water, Light & Power
Commission to purchase the dam and
water rights of the Central MINI.
Power & Milling Company at stipu-
lated price Of $4,000.
When Mr.. Parker first submitted
his proposition to number of bus
mess men several weeks ago his price
was placed at $4,000 and also con.
tanned clause which would permit
him to draw the water down to a
nine-foot head from the spring until
November Is when he would be per-
mitted to draw the water down to a
7k foot head until the ice went out
the next year. This plan was to be
in operation eight years.
There was a strong sentiment in
favor the city owing to the dam, but
there was universal objection to the
purchase with any Strings" attach
ed.
About 80 of the business met at
the Community Club rooms a couple
Of weeks ago and discussed the dam
proposition. The question of the
proper price to pay for the dam was
at variance. Some felt that SIS, 900
was a sufficient sum to pay, while 9th
ers expressed the opinion that with
out any strings attached Mr.. Parker's
price was a reasonable one. All
agreed, however, to work for the pro-
position on the price agreed upon.
Mr.. Parker was called into the con.
ference and finally placed his low
figure at $4,000.
Much has been said about the val
ue of the dam, while as a matter Of
fact very little is known about it..
The perpetual fiowage rights given by
the government many years ago is the
most valuable tangible asset. Certain
it is that if the City of Sank Centre
purchases the property howl Of pro-
test would be raised if an offer OF
$75, 200 or any other amount were to
be seriously considered for it.

that Babcock Highway No. A will be

DAY OF THIS WEEK
LEFT CHICAGO JULY 9Th
EXPECTS THE TRIP WILL TAKE
HIM AT LEAST SEVEN
YEARS

Edward Stremiska, of Hillsbor,
Texas, who is making trip around
the world on foot passed through
Sank Centre Tuesday. The young
man lunched in this city and for an
hour was a guest of The Herald.
Young Stremiska was born and rails
ed on a farm in Texas and developed
his wanderlust in his early school days
from his studies of geography and
history. He is deeply interested in
the raising of livestock and upon COM
plotting his trip around the world will
engage in that industry. When asked
by the Herald in what state he would
locate his answer was 81 will know
only when l have finished my visit to
all the states in this wonderful coun-
try, America" He said he expected it
would take him about seven years to
complete his journey.
This globe trotting stunt is being
sponsored in a way by the Daily Svor-
most of Chicago. Stremiska is not
trying for any speed records on his
trip. He does not "bum" transporta-
ton or food, he will accept rides if
they are offered. After he has visited
Alaska he will head for the Pacific
coast and embark for European coun-
tries working his way across. When
he becomes short of money he stops
and works. He carries a complete
camping outfit; his entire equipment
weighing 46 pounds. Among the for
eign countries he will visit are Siberia,
Australia, Japan, China, Manchuria,
Turkistan and then back to America
as he says "cured of his wanderlust
and ready to settle down and make his
mark raising cattle.
Stremiska is % years old, a high
school and college graduate, having
graduated from high school with high
honors. He carries very good creden-
tials, and also trophies won for ath-
letics while attending school .-A- $50
Every thousand miles of his jour-
ney he submits story in dairy form
to his home town papers and also to
the above mentioned Chicago publ
cation for which he receives liberal
compensation.
He was very interested in his visit
to Sank Centre and asked the Herald
to show him the old home of Sinclair
Lewis, author of "Main Street" He
made casual entries in his dairy dur
ing his visit in Sank Centre. The
Herald escorted the young globe trot-
ter to the city limits and there started
him north on No. 3 wishing him God
speed on his journey.

Wednesday of this week Charles
M. Bryant received word from the
University Farm at St. Paul that the
Bordeau Mixture, which can be OBJ
tanned at drug stores will eradicate
the small flies which are doing serious
damage to potato plants. Mr.. Bryant
stated to the Herald that it was per-
haps too late to be of much benefit to
early potatoes but that the sugges-
ton of the state department could be
followed with profit with the growers
of late tubers.

parish started with the coming Of
Rev. Father John Fuss as pastor
there in 1917. That year a rectory
was built, which is of brick con-
struction, well planned and of fine
appearance.
That year the foundation of the
church was also erected and the
basement equipped for church pur-
poses and used for services since.
The building of the super-structure
of the church started last year and
was completed this spring.
The new church is of a Spanish
basilica design. The outside dimen-
sions are 56x127 feet, with the spire
100 feet high. The spire has cop
per belfry of very imposing de-
sign which alone cost $4,000.
The interior of the church is very
beautifully furnished, seating about
1900. The windows are imported
from Lenich, Cologne, Germany,
and are really works of art, and some
Of the finest of any church in the
diocese. In the upper windows are
the twelve apostles and in the lower
windows are depicted the apostles

The entire cost of the church
building and interior furnishings is
about $4,000.
The plans for the church were
prepared by Schaefer & Fischer Of
st. Cloud. The building was erected
by A. H. Kind & Son of st. Cloud.
The pulpit, confessionals, pews, and
other furniture was made by the
