Everv Kiddie Should
Be Taught to SzOim
Life Saving Instructor Will Spend
Week at Fairy Lake-Auspices
of American Legion

Beginning Monday, June %, and
continuing for one week, Mervin S.
Clark, director of the Minnesota Lee
gion's life saving campaign will be
at Sank Centre and will supervise
the 1880 classes of the Learn to
Swim" campaign which is sponsor
ed by the local American Legion
post.
Mr.. Clark who is National exam
liner for the American Red Cross
and considered a National author
ity on swimming has but recently
returned from Florida and Havana,
where he spent the winter season
directing classes in the Miami
Beauty Contest. At Fairy Lake all
next week he will teach swimming
for beginners, diving, rescue work
and advance swimming. The classes
are open to all persons from 6 to
80 years.
In July last year Mr. Clark spent
one week at Fairy Lake and dur
ing that time gave 1884 lessons, this
year it is expected that nearly 700
will be given. Instructions will
start at nine o'clock in the morn
ing each day and continue until
nine in the evening.
In 1929 director Clark's expenses
were supposed to be betrayed from
a dance which was given at the
conclusion of the weeks instruc-
ton, but the plan worked so poorly
that this year the Legion >have de-
cided not to attempt a dance, but
rather to pay in cash from their
treasury, their expenditure will be
over $4,000 for this community
service, and the Herald has been
advised that any goodwill checks
will be gladly accepted. Thomas
Clough is chairman of the Learn
to Swim" campaign and will give
credit for all moneys so received.
Plan now to have the kiddies take
at least one lesson each day while
Mr. Clark is here. Let them get
out in the fresh air and sunshine
and learn to swim for health, hap
piness, and safety, it costs nothing
but their time.

About 25 Per Cent of Total
Vote of Sank Centre POlled
At Primaries
SCHOONER LEADS BRICK
Has Clear Majority in County
Over Both His Opponents
-TabulatiOns

The returns from the City of
Sank Centre and Stearns county in
dictate that the political sentiment
is about in line with the rest of the
state.
The voters were not annoyed
with candidates fer the county Of
fees as the only contest was that
of sheriff. Mr.. Schooner, after hav-
ing held the office for Is years, re-
ceived a majority over the combin-
ed vote of his two opponents.
In most counties of the State
many men aspired to be sheriff. In
Todd county Sheriff Adams prin-
cipal opponent was John Burns
whom he defeated four years ago.
Mr.. Burns was runner-up to Mr..
Adams at Mondays primaries but
the vote received by the sheriff
does not hold out much hope for
Burns success in November.
James Johnson, Bertha, state
senator most of the time for the
past Is years, passed out of the
political picture in the Todd-Wa-
dena county Senatorial district
Monday. Mr.. Gardner, Staples, will
fight it out with Mr.. Anderson,
Wadena, at the November election
The people of Sank Centre and
vicinity refused to become excited
over the election. Usually when the
returns are being tabulated the
polling places are filled with voters
anxious to follow the progress of
their favorites. Monday evening the
count was finished about midnight.
The only persons at the polling
places were the judges, City Clerk
J. F. Cooper and the Herald editor.
Sank Centre City
The city of Sank Centre polled a
trifle less than a rs per cent vote
at Mondays primaries. Senator Tom
Schall carried the city over Chris
tianson by a plurality Of SO; Chase's
plurality over Holmberg was SO;
Lund, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, had a plurality of 4; Staff
King lead Henry Rines for State
Auditor by 81; Attorney Henry
Benson's lead over Mr.. Larson was

Supreme Court lead the field of
nine candidates by 4.

Saturday while Charles Parks
and julius Kringen were erecting
a silo on the Fred Rowe farm west
of the city, the high wind blew
down the scaffold and the partially
built silo.
Mr.. Kringen was badly stunned
in the 20-foot fall. He was brought
to the city and received immediate
medical treatment.
It is understood that Mr.. Parks
had the contract for the erection of
the silo, and that he did not carry
liability insurance. There may be
a controversy as to whether the
owner of the property or the con-
tractor may be liable for Mr..
Kringen's injuries.

played on the local diamond and
was witnessed by the largest crowd
of the season
The locals have played five games,
of which only one was loss. Sum-
days play, although not as excit-

marked by better support by the
players. Judkins was in no danger
after the first inning, and his pitch
ing was just as brilliant as in pre-
vious games. He only allowed three
hits.
At 2:3O the Boys Band, under the
direction of DR.. Paul Hanson, gave
a concert which was greatly appre,
ciated by the fans. 1t was a good
start for the afternoons game and
no doubt, helped the locals in their
victory.

tons of what has already been written.
but it was necessary to do this in order
to understand what follows as con-
firmatory of these statements.
We now proceed with the new evil
dence that has come to hand.
Writing to the Kootenai Times, un-
der date, December II, 1918, Mr.. John
Campbell of LiTIoet B. c., says. THE
Hudsons Bay company had a post at
the mouth of the Fisher river, where
it empties into the Kootenai." Again
on January 81, 1915, writing to the
same journal, he makes this state
menL | saw in the fall of 1854, what
looked as if there had been an old
building, little above the mouth of
the river and on March 3, 1915, he
writes. x few miles up the Kootenai
River (at point nearly opposite Jen-
nings) the North West Company built
a permanent traders post, known as
Fort kootenai in opposition to which
the Pacific Fur company built one
nearby Let it be here noted Mr.. Camp
bell was one of the earliest pioneers
in the district of which he was writing.
AS early as the year 1854. he was
around the Fisher River, prospecting,
having treked with his father from the
place now known as the City Of Win
nipeg, Manitoba.
Ross Cox, who was employed by the
Pacific Fur company, and whose mar
rative unfortunately now out of print
has reference to this very site, joined
his trading establishment at the juno
ton of the Pointed Heart" and Spo-
kane River, and close to trading post
of the N. W. company under the COM
mand Of Mr. Mcmillan who had 10
men under him. He says Mcmillan had
two other posts detached from this
One about 24O miles from it, in a N.
+. direction among a tribe of the Flat
heads whose land lies at the foot OF
the Rocky Mountains and are well
stocked with buffaloes. The other
about 200 miles due north, among a
tribe called the Cootonais, in whose
country there are plenty of beaver,
deer, mountain sheep and at times
buffaloes. Mr. Finan Mcdonald had
charge Of the post among the Flatheads
and Mr.. Montour was stationed
among the Cootonais. Mr. Pillet was
sent to oppose him with six men and
and Fanshaw were destined for the
Flatheads between 18l1-1813."
On page 155 of this same narrative
there is this statement: 1.-THE trading
post established among the Cootonais
is situated in about 49, 80 N. latitude
and lis west longitude. Now just where
does all this lead to? Under instruc-
tons from David Thompson, Finan
Mcdonald built a trading post in the
fall of 1908.
The exact location of this post has
been in doubt.
Ross Cox, who was an employee Of
the Pacific Fur company and after
ward with the N. w. people, speaks
of this post, and refers to the location
in no uncertain terms. Jacob A. Mey-
ers, in the year 1913, made careful
survey Of the north bank Of the river.
and found on certain location, which
he gives an old cellar excavation, and
the remains of four old chimney bot
toms. John Campbell saw in the year
1864 at the same place, what appeared
to him the ruins of an old building.

The colleges of the United States
have contributed SO many able men

that it is natural to expect that lead

But a recent advertisement quoted

produce the best leaders unless they
receives the very best students which
are annually graduated from our
splendid high schools.

In order to attract to college the best
scholars in each high school graduating
class, scholarships are offered which
pay all or part of the expense in COL

to this conclusion in the four states
from which data were obtained, and,
