During the past few weeks Sank
Centre has acquired a new interest,
that of catering to the tourist. A
few of the Sank Centre citizens
have realized the need and value
of tourist lodgings and camps, and
having acted, are already being re-
Warded.
Charles Marshall and B. A.
Combs, recently acquired the land
on West Third Street just east of
the Great Northern tracks and are
now conducting an oil business and
tourist camp. They have erected
a beautiful oil service station of
French design, with modern
equipment throughout, including
furnace, running water, .lavora-
tories and electric lights. The in
terror is done in marble coat wall
finish and the exterior of the build
ing is painted in white with green
trimmings. The building is adorn-
ed with attractive French win
dows and under each is a huge
flower box. The driveways, which
are 80 feet in width, are set off
with long lines of white stones and
in the same manner the grass and
flower pots are fenced off. The
establishment operates under the
firm name of the Union Oil Com
pany of Sank Centre. Six attrac-
tive cottages, 12x14 have been
erected on the grounds for night
lodging. They are equipped with
running water, sink, ice box, wall
table, two double beds and mat
tresses, chairs, and shelves, and
windows on three sides. Tables
and benches have been placed out
doors under a group of trees for
the convenience of those desiring
a suitable place to eat their lunch.
On North Main street, two blocks
from the Sank Lake bridge is To-
Gated very beautiful private tour
list camp, which has recently been
built by w. H., Parker. The
grounds extend from Main street
to the banks of Sank Lake. Three
modern cottages have recently
been completed and nestle among
the trees on the banks of the lake.
Each building has been built in the
form of a cottage and garage I'M
der one roof. The cottage consists
of one large room with partitions
making two bedrooms and a iv-
ing room. The equipment con-
tanned in them is two beds, stove,
cupboard, dishes and electric lights
and water. There is a kitchenette
at one end of the grounds, which
houses a large range and has run
ming water and lights, also lavora-
tories.
H. C. Lembke, boatman and tour
list camp keeper for a number of
years, has established a very en-
ticing camp on the west side of
Sank Lake near the Narrows
bridge. He maintains a boat SER
vice for fishermen and a complete
provision store. With the compile
ton of the new grade or Highway
No. a across the lake Mr.. Lembke
saw the possibilities of a tourist
camp and boat business at this
point and lost no time in locating.
It is especially alluring to fisher
men as it is the gateway to Sank
Lakes best fishing grounds.
To go further along the wooded
shores of Sank Lake, there is
Spring Park, now easily accessible
since the opening on the new No.
a. Spring Park boasts 9 summer
cottages, situated on a high west
bank of the lake and are occupied
continually throughout the sum-
mer months.
Crossing the lake to the east
shore and located on that part of
Sank Lake, known as Big Lake, are
the Baurenfeind, Bosshardt and
Pierson cottages, all splendidly
equipped and catering to those who
