u. S. Spends $130,198 in
Five Years on Its Forests
Large Portion of Funds Paid to
Counties Where Forests are
Located

St. Paul, Dec. 26.-Federal ex-
penditures on two national forests
in Minnesota have averaged over a
five year period, $130,193, the
forest service of the federal gov
eminent today reported. Annual
returns to the government during
the same period averaged $780,
972. -.. a.
Of the total expenditures, $780,
1872 is paid directly to counties
where the forests are located, for
the purpose of road and trail con-
struction. Indirect OUTLAWS were
made in the natural forest areas in
the form of free forage, free tim
Der; cooperation in fish and game
protection and cash returns in the
amount of rs per cent of gross re-
ceipts for roads and schools.
The annual rs per cent cash 1c-
turn of $7,743 was said by the
forest service to amount now to
only about LII of the present to-
tai returns from these properties
because of only partial utilization
of the resources of the national
forests.
An effort was made in recent
survey, the forest service reported
to get reliable comparison between
present returns and the taxes
which this land could pay if held
in private ownership. On the basis
of the most liberal classification, it
was found that $4,000 acres, most
ly in small scattered tracts, out Of
a total of 941,042 in the national
forests in Minnesota might be neld
in private ownership.
Based on assessment rates ap-
piled to similar lands in private
ownership within the counties con-
tanning national forests, these 3d.
900 acres, capable of paying taxes,
would return $21, 425 through this
medium as against $99,432 paid
now by the federal government.

Early Resident Of Sank
Centre Died at Frazee
L. D. Hendry Came to This City
in 1870-Homestead in OF
tertail County

The following announcement of
the death of L. D. Hendry, a resi-
dent of Sank Centre in 1870, taken
from the Frazee, Mimi, Press, will
be of interest to Herald readers.
Sat this season when the Christ
mas spirit is abroad in the land and
hearts and homes everywhere are
joyfully anticipant of the festal
days ahead, it is with sadness that
we must record the passing of a
man who was one of Frazee's most
prominent citizens, one Of it's
oldest residents Lewis Danford
Hendry, Sr.
''The death of Mr.. Hendry which
occurred last Sunday afternoon,
Dec. 16, a few minutes after the
hour of two, had been preceded
by month of serious illness. A
week before the end, all but one
of the children were summoned to
his bedside, but although i was
apparent for some time that little
could be done to save his life, hope
was not abandoned while life per-
sisted and every medical effort pos
sible to prolong his days upon this
earth was made. The end itself
came with entire peace the sleep
of life but deepening into the sleep
OF death.
Looking back into the life his
tory of Mr.. Hendry we find that
into it is written much of the his
tory of this town of ours, yet it is
but briefly that we can speak of
this here. He was born on the
twenty ninth of March, 1850, in
Somerville, Noble county, Ohio,
moving with his parents in 1862 to
Houston, Indiana, where he resid-
ed until they moved to Sank Cen

Every County Will Have
Association Representative
Ten Thousand Lakes Organization
Plan to Garry on Vigorous Cam
paign in 1929

Every county in the state is to
have representation in the new Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minneso-
ia Association as a result of action
taken by the executive committee
at a meeting in St. Paul Saturday.
The old organization had an
advisory committee of So members
which meant that some of the 81
counties of the state were without
representation. The new organiza-
ton will have an advisory COM
mittee of 100 members which will
mean that every county will have
it's own committee member.
Members of the advisory COM
mittee for 1929 will be appointed
by President Roy Dunn and their
names announced early in January.
For the purpose of gathering in
teresting publicity material the
executive committee is considering
the launching of an essay contest
in which school students of the state
will write their opinions as to
why one should possess a farm in
Minnesota. The launching of
such contest would not only bring
new publicity ideas but would
help materially in selling Minneso-
tans on their own state. Officials
believe that selling Minnesota to
her own people will be one of the
important duties of the new Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minneso-
ia Association. II. C.. Hotaling,
state tourist commissioner and who
has been secretary of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association since
1923 says that his observations are
that Minnesotans need an educa-
tional campaign to acquaint them
with the opportunities and advant-
ages of their own state. Speaking
Of the need of more confidence by
Minnesota citizens he said: "We
have had too much calamity howl
ing, too much pessimism and I be-
lieve that lack of faith has been
the cause of much of our economic
troubles in the northwest. Replace
this sentiment with confidence, OPP
timism and the go-getter spirit that
some other states have and we
will have the entire nation looking
our way inside of a year or two.
We possess one of the richest areas
on the face of the earth, but how
can we expect others to become
enthusiastic about it if we are not
enthusiastic ourselves. We should
feel proud that we are first in all
the nation in the production of po-
tatoes, second in oats, barley, rye
and flax; third in all tame hay and
fourth in spring wheat. Minnesota
has never been particularly famous
as a producer Of horses, and yet.
the fact is that she is the third
largest producer of horses in the
United States. Minnesota stands
second in the number Of cows two
years old and over and produces
more butter than any other state,
her production last year being
275, 900, 900 pounds and worth
$125, 600, 900. She is fifth in the
production of swine and although
northern state produced S81, 437,-
900 worth of corn last year. These
are only a few of the sAings we
have to talk about and it is time
that we should come to appreciate
our situation. Let's shout Mime
sofas praises from the housetops
for while and see what happens.

H. S. Basket Ball Quint Rounding
Into Condition-Will Make Co.
ing Tough for Opponents

The Sank Centre High basket
ball quint scored their second vic
tory of the season Thursday eve
ming of last week when they de-
feated the much heavier Long
Prairie team by a 1913 score.
The game did not open particu-
larly fast and neither team scored
a field goal in the first quarter.
Sank Centre did manage to con-
meet for a free throw giving them
lead of 10. Both teams popped
up a bit in the second quarter,
James O'Gara scoring a pair of
field goals and the always reliable
Edward Kells one. Jim connected
with a couple Of free throws bring
ing the score up 9-5 at the end of
the half. O'Gara went out short
ly before the half ended having
four personal fouls.
Elmer Bradley succeeded Jim at
center but could not get going and
was replaced by young Frank, with
score standing, Long Prairie 13,
Sank Centre IL. Compared to his
opponent at center Frank is a mid
get but he played rings around him
and made a pair of nifty field
goals; fluffy" Cliff picked up a
field goal and free throw and Ed
Kells another field goal and free
throw. Long Prairie was stopped
cold in the last quarter, the game
ending Sank Centre 10, Long
Prairie 10.
Coach Mickelson's lads are
rounding into fine condition. The
defeats by close scores by Bertha
and Osakis have the effect of max
ing a fighting team out of the To-
Gals, and they make up in speed
what they lack in size. They
should give a good account of
themselves for the balance of the
season.. e.

Chandler Watt Buried
with Masonic Service
Remains Brought to Sank Centre
From New Rockford, N. D.,
Funeral Wednesday

The remains of William Chand-
Ter Watt, who passed away at New
Rockford, N. D., Thursday, Dec.
20, 1928, arrived in Sank Centre
early Wednesday morning, and
were buried under Masonic and
American Legion auspices Wednes-
day afternoon, at 2:30, interment
being beside the remains of his
father, the late Hugh J. Watt,
Greenwood cemetery. Formal fun
eral services were held at the New
Rockford Congregational church
Monday afternoon.
The deceased was but little
known in Sank Centre. His moth
er was raised in this city and was
known as a girl as Lulu Harmon,
daughter of the late Chan Harmon.
Chandler Watt was born at Bath
gate, N. D., June 8, 1895. He en-
tered military service in Septemb-
er, 1917 and was assigned to the
Quarterrnaster department. He
never saw overseas service. When
the Armistice was signed he was
stationed at Newport News, Va,
The mother of the deceased, Mrs.
Lulu M. Morgan, was spending the
winter at San Diego, Cal, and
brother of the deceased, Harmon
H. Watt, was at his home at Riv-
erton, Wyo., when they received
news of the death of Chandler.
They met at Cheyenne, and arrived
together at New Rockford early
Monday morning.
Chandler had been a resident of
New Rockford for eight years. He
was extremely popular and was re-
cognized as a hard working and
deserving young business man, be-
ing manager of the Independent
Lumber Co., and had he lived
would have become secretaryItreas-
urer of the organization early in
January.
He was i'll only a few minutes.
He returned to the office of the
company from the yards where he
had been piling lumber, and in
formed the girl that he had a bad
"stitch" in his back and suggested
that she had better make out an
application for compensation in
surance. He did not appear to take
his pain seriously. A little later he
asked for a physician. The doctor
made a cursory examination and
suggested that he had better come
to his office and receive an cleo
trical treatment. He expired while
the physician was preparing his
equipment. His entire illness did
not consume more than Is minutes.
In the spring of 1921 Chandler
was made an Entered Apprentice
of New Rockford Lodge, A. F. &
A. M. He was not passed to the
degree of Fellowcraft until the
early part of May, 1925. The lat
ter part of the month he was raised
to the Sublime Degree of a Master
Mason. He received the Mark
Master, Past Master and Royal
Arch degrees in the Darlington
Lodge of Royal Arch Masons and
the orders of the Temple in New
Rockford Commandery, Knights
Templar. He was a member of Ell
Zagel Temple, Order of the Mystic
Schrine, Fargo.
Mr.. Watt visited old friends in
Sank Centre about six weeks ago
for a short time, and was appar-
emily the picture Of health. A num-
Der of the Masonic brethren from
New Rockford, Darlington and
Fargo attended the services in this
city. Among the number was the
past Grand Master of the jurisdic-
ton of North Dakota.
