new HOSPITAL WILL
BE LOCATED in CITY
Home of the Late C. M.
Sprague Being Remodeled
to Meet Requirements
WILL OPEN JULY 18th
Mrs. H. P. Long, Registered
Nurse, in Charge-Will Be
Public Institution

Carpenters and decorators are
working at the residence of the late
c. M. Sprague, remodeling the
building for the establishment of a
new hospital, which will be opened
July 18th.
New plumbing fixtures are being
installed on the third floor, prepa-
rations are being made for a mod
ern operating room and archways
are being closed to gain additional
rooms.
Mrs. H. p. Long, of Long Prairie,
registered nurse, has been secured
to superintend the establishment,
which will be known as the Long
Hospital" She expects to be here
about July LIST to make arrange
ments for the opening. Mrs. Long,
who has been employed at the Riv-
erside hospital, Long Prairie, comes
to this city highly recommended.
She was in charge of a maternity
hospital at Jamestown, N. D., for
six year before moving to Long
Prairie, where she has also been
for several years. In coming to
Sank Centre Mrs. Long feels that
this city is an ideal place for hos
pital and that she will have larg-
er field in this community.
Local doctors and committee
appointed from among the local
have investigated Mrs.
Long and have found her very pro-
icient and satisfactory in her pre-
vious locations. 1t was more or
less through the activities of the
local Legion Post that the new hos
pital was made possibility. The
doctors and members of Robert
Swift Post deserve much credit for
their activities in locating this or
ganization here, and, being a public
enterprise is deserving of the sup
port of the entire community.

Local Merchant Erper-
fences Robbery Thrill
Finds Safe Open With $4,000
Missing = Informs Police
Found Money Later

One of our local business
men experienced the thrill of
a robbery this week, when
he found his safe open and
$3.50 missing. He discovered
the loss when he entered his
place of business Sunday af-
ternoon. He Immediately
called the police and investi-
cations were commenced at
once.
After checking and re-
checking they found that
$3.50 had been taken from the
safe, of which about $4,000
was in checks. After a
search of about four hours
and during which time sew
eral suspicious characters
were being watched the
money was discovered.
This businessman, accord
ing to, appearances, must be
one of our most prosperous
merchants. At least he OWNS
two safes, one for his books
and one for his money. Satur-
day night when he left the
store he placed the money in
the wrong place and forgot
to lock the other safe.
Upon finding the money in
the wrong safe he immediate
ly notified Chief of Police
Jos. Miller, and needless to
say treats were on the mer-
chant. 1t was a battling
mystery for some time, how
ever, Mr.. Wedge admits it
was his fault, although he
can not remember the Incl
dent of misplacing the
money,

Lieutenant Governor of
Idaho Abducted
Two Men Who Tried to Rescue
Him Are Injured; ALI Three
Left Tied to Trees

Orofino, Idaho, June 17.-Several
thousand men and boys searched
this mountainous country today
for the four young badits who yes
terday abducted w. B. Kline, Lieu
tenant Governor, of Idaho, and two
men who attempted to rescue him.
Kline escaped uninjured after
he had been tied to a tree by his
abductors. w. L. Tribbey, of an
Idaho loan association, and Paul
Kille, lumber worker, attempted
to rescue Kline when the bandits
halted his automobile. Kille was
shot in the leg and dubbed over
the head and Tribbey was badly
beaten.
Robbery and the theft of Kinne's
automobile apparently were the
motives.
Kline, travelling from Lewiston
to his home here, was attacked by
the bandits shortly after leaving
Lewiston. They boarded his car
and ordered him into the rear.
Near Orofino, Kline said, a front
IlTc UIcW OUT dIlQ CflS duIOIIlODll6
catapulted into a ditch, bottom
side up. No one was hurt.
When Tribbey and Kille drove up
they started to assist the wreck
victims and were greeted with
drawn pistols. A struggle ensued
and Kille was shot and Tribbey
battered into unconsciousness. The
robbers then took Tribbey's car. AT
ter several hours of aimless driving
they tied the men to trees and
drove away. Kline and his COM
panions escaped in few minutes.
Kinnie said the bandits intinated
that the need of an automobile to
rob store at Pierce, lumber
town in this region. caused the
double holdup. The robbers took
5000 from Tribbey and $14 from the
acknowledgements.
The search for the bandits was
carried on by three main posses
with bloodhounds.

F. W. SPRACUE WILL
RETIRE FROM BANK
Illness Causes Gentleman to
Dispose of Most of First
National Holdings
SERVICE OF 81 YEARS
III. S. Halverson, G. Hillerud,
George Steiner, H. 'Sauer,
C. Bjone Acquire Stock

A transaction of considerable in
terest to the people of this COM
munity was contaminated this
week when G. Hillerud, George
Steiner, H. S. Halverson, Henry
Sauer and Chris. Bjone took over a
substantial portion of the Sprague
interests in the First National
Bank.
F. w. Sprague, who has been the
president of the institution since
the death of his father, the late c.
M. Sprague, retains an interest in
the bank, although his recent ILL
ness has forced him to give up the
active management of the institu-
ton. Through this transaction the
control of the bank has been re-
tanned in the hands of local people.
Mr.. Halverson will assume the
active management of the bank. He
has served in the capacity of exc
cutive vice president since the ill
ness of Mr.. Sprague, and is not new
to the banking business. He has had
several years experience in this
work as director of banks in
other cities.
The officers of the bank will re-
main the same for the time being,
Mr.. Hillerud and Mr.. Steiner, both
substantial businessmen of this
city, will remain as vice presidents,
Henry Sauer will maintain his po-
sition as cashier, and Chris. Bjone,
assistant cashier.
Mr.. Sauer has been with the
bank for the past eight years, while
Mr.. Bjone has been associated with
the institution for the past ten
years. Both are young men of en-
viable reputation and are valuable
additions to the board of directors.
F. w. Sprague has been connect
ed with the bank as an officer for
30 years and during that time has
made host of friends, who regret
that heis forced to give up his in
terests. During the time of his adj
ministration as president he con-
Quoted a conservative business, and
was considered one of the efficient
business men of the city. The
Sprague family will continue to
reside in Sank Centre.
The new organization should
prove to be strong one and as in
the past should be capable of car
ing for the needs of the people as
did the institution while under the
direction of the Sprague's.

Winter Wheat Prospects
Best In 5 Year Average
Crop Report from University OF
Minnesota Service Shows In
tereSting Figures

The indicated production of win
ter wheat for Minnesota, based on
the reported June 1 condition, is
3,765,000 bushels compared with
100000 bushels for 1928 and g.
$4,000 bushels the 5-year 1929
1920 average production, accord
ing to the Federal State Crop Re-
porting Service. The condition was
reported at SO per cent Of normal
June z, which compares with SO
per cent one year ago and 80 per
cent for the 10-year (1918-1927) av-
erage.
The rye condition on June 1 was
IS per cent of normal and fore
casts a production of 6,181, 900 bush.
els, compared with 5,950O00 bushels
produced in 1928 and 9,161, 900 BUSH
els the average production for the
years 1923-1927. The condition of
the crop is much better than one
year ago when it was reported at
81 per cent of normal. The 10
year (1918-192D June / average
condition is "a per cent. Some of
the reports received indicate that
the stand is somewhat thin and
uneven in certain sections while
others report excellent prospects
for the crop.
Spring sown grain and hay con-
ditions on June were reported to
be lower than the 10-year (1918-
1920 averages. Cool weather with
considerable freezing during the
month of May retarded the growth,
but with warmer weather the crops
are now making good progress.
Rain would prove beneficial in
some sections, especially to the hay
crop. Corn is up with the ex-
ception of some late paintings and
the stand on the whole is good.
All spring wheat condition on
June was IS per cent of normal,
which is higher than one year ago
but lower than the 10-year 1918-
1920 average. The condition last
June was 80 per cent of normal and
the 1O-year average condition was
80 per cent. The oat condition was
reported at 81 per cent of normal,
compared with 80 per cent last
year and 80 per cent the 1O-year
(1918-192D average. The barley
crop had a June condition of
Sc per cent Of normal, compared
with SO per cent one year ago and
80 per cent the 10-year average.
The tame hay crop and pastures
have been retardede in growth by
the cool weather, but should we
have. good growing weather for the
next two weeks the hay crop will
give an excellent yield as the stand.

shed as he read the words which
severed the happy relationship of
pastor and people.
Coming to Sank Centre in the
fall of 1916 from Sleepy Eye, Mimi,
Rev. Sparkes commenced the task
of building up the church and Sun
day school, revitalizing the mem
bership and leading the people into
larger fields of religious activity;
how successful he has been in this
task only his own people and those
with whom he has worked know.
AS preacher Rev. Sparkes be-
came an outstanding success, his
message always showing original
ity of thought and, knowledge of
life and people. Fundamental in
his beliefs, yet modern in interpre-
tation, he made his pulpit an edu-
cational as well as an inspirational
one, and will be missed by many
who, though not members of his
church, were accustomed to enjoy
his preaching. He has always been
fearless in utterance, and nobody

Although pastor of a busy church
Rev. Sparkes was always an inter-
ested citizen in all public affairs,
giving literally of his time and alb
ility to everything which made for
the betterment of the community
life.
During the World War he was in
great demand as a speaker, and
was appointed a member of the
speakers bureau organized by the
State Safety Commission. A signed

fies to the way in which he per-
formed this service.
At the close of the World War
