home at Detroit, Mimi, where he is
reported to be suffering no serious
effects from the experience,

Rt. Rev. Jos. Busch Bishop
Dedicates Church of Our
Lady of the Angels May 10

The ceremony of the dedication of
the new church of Our Lady of the
Angels in this city will take place on
next Wednesday, May 10Th.
The church will be blessed AMI
formally opened for Divine services
by the Right Reverend Joseph f.
Busch, Bishop of St. Cloud. Assist.
His Lordship will be large repres-
entation of the secular and regular
clergy of the diocese.
The custom of dedicating churches
to the worship of God by a solemn
ceremony is very ancient. In his
Ecclesiastical History Eusebius de-
scribes the dedication, in 314, of the
church erected by Constantine at
Tyre; though at that time there was
no specific rite the use of which was
enjoyed by the church for the pur-
pose. 1t was the custom in Rome
to celebrate Mass in connection with
the dedication Of a new church, and
to carry in solemn procession the re-
lies which were to be enshrined in
the church. The rite employed at the
present time is a combination of the
one used in Rome with the one that
had enjoyed preference in France. 1t
has not undergone any alteration
since the ninth century.
The rite of dedication prescribes
that the church to be solemnly bless
ed shall be bare; that is, that the
faithful shall not be in the church
whilst the prayers are being chanted
by the clergy, and that the affairs,
too, shall be devoid of, the furnish
ings usual for the, celebration of
Mass. The Bishop blesses water at
the entrance of the church, and then,
accompanied by the clergy, circles
the building on the outside chanting
the "Asperges Me" and the "Miser-
ere," which is Psalm so. Returning
to the main portal of the church the
Bishop with his assistants enter the
edifice, and the chanters take up the
singing of the Litany of All Saints.
During the singing of the Litany the
Bishop and clergy kneel in the sane
tuary. After the chanting of the
Litany the Bishop sings number of
orations prescribed by the Roman
Ritual; and then, accompanied again

line showing. Mr.. Brown remarked,
the students voted purse to be
given the worthy old historian, and
Carol was selected by the 1000
students as the one to make the pre-
sentation speech. The character of
his work can best be expressed by
the remarks of many nationally
known characters, that also partici-
pated in the ceremonies:
l.. c. Lord, one of the greatest
orators living today-Ch Charleston,
I'LL. "Much the best presentation
tatlon speech he had ever heard"

young man and credit to the stu
dent body"
Carol graduates from St. Cloud
this spring. Next September he will
begin a teaching career in the Junior
High School at Minneapolis.
Sank Centre is proud of this young
man and all are anxious to have
him make good. His record at the
st, Cloud College is direct indica-
tlon OF the type of student the Sank
centre schools are producing.

Equipment to Fight Fires
In Country May Be Added
Sank Centre Department Working
with Town Officers to Lessen Loss
Danger to Farmers

The Sank Centre Fire Department
and Relief Association held a regular
meeting at the Community Club
rooms Wednesday evening. After
reading the minutes of the prev
ious meeting committee reports were
heard. The Committee on apparatus
stated they were working on the pro.
position OF getting a new combina-
ton truck to be used in the city and
also in the surrounding townships.
This truck is to be equipped with
large capacity chemical tanks and
also with an engine. In fighting
country fires the hose will be put in
wells or in body of water if avail
able, the engine will pump and create
water pressure equivalent to that in
the city. Had such a machine been
available at the time of the disas-
trous fire at the Winter farm two
weeks ago many dollars worth of
property could have been saved.
Antoher item of Importance taken
under consideration was the placing
of telephone on the corner of Main
and Third streets to be used by the
police and fire department. 1t is
very difficult to hear distinctly in
the fire house when the motors of
the trucks are running, and with a
phone on the corner the fire location
could be learned definitely and would
eliminate any mistakes. r. F.
Schwalen, local manager of the N.
w. Bell Telephone Co., has been in
structed to investigate and determine
the cost of installation of such a
phone and upon receiving his report
immediate application will be made
to have it erected.
Three new firemen have been en-
rolled this year to bring the depart
ment up to it's required strength.
. Arthur Weisner was assigned to the
Hose Company while Willis Benson
and Walter Galbraith were assigned
to the Hook and Ladder Company.
Flowers were ordered for Memoir
ial Day and the foremen of each
company were instructed to see that
the graves of departed fremen We're
properly decorated.
Chief George Fish and First AS
sistant Chief Howard MCGEE were
unanimously elected as delegates to
attend the State Firemen's Conven-
ton which will be held at New Ulm,

Scott, G. R. Gray and Thomas r..

plans for a picnic to be held some
time in June by the fremen and their

Election SoIiIoquy,-- Lest We Forget"

George B. Grigsby.-The Re-
publican Ketchikan rally was
productive Of many votes for
Sutherland and his ticket.
Their speakers confined them
selves to facts, which scored.
Our Independent rally, the
night before election, lost us
votes. We tried to mislead
the audience with salacious
stories, in the effort to divert
attention from the real issues.
It was a frost. Our people
are not as gullible as are the
dupes of Juneau.

John w. Troy-It was truly
a battle royal, in which every
body won, excepting of course
the Big Interests. But what
is sixty or seventy thousands
to those poor boobs. We need
ed it, if for nothing else, than
to show that they really do
leave in Alaska some Of that
sixty million dollars that they
annually take from the waters
and earth of this northland.
Our big victory was in our de-
monstrated ability to continue
to lead by the halter the Re-
publican official family of Jun
eau and to shoe them into the
Democratic corral, where we
keep the highly intelligent
white mans party of Chicken
Ridge. Then we have definite
ly established Marquamism and
Troyism as the high standard
of ethics in the Capital City.
That slush fund was a wond-
erous thing and caused so much
glee in the Territory that we
must plot most carefully and
ingeniously for an enlarged re-
petition in 1928. We are al
ready at work, but keep it dark.

I was dippy when I obeyed
orders and threw that useless
Democratic nomination for Dele

it didn't mean any thing, for

ed signal honor thru my Jud-

I even created the new precinct

to prevent about 90 Natives
