Indoor Miniature Golf
Has Invaded This City
Chas. Harrison Completing the
Building of Modern Course
Over Bishop Co. ,

The indoor golf miniature craze
which is sweeping the country has
struck Sank Centre.
Charles Harrison has rented the
second floor over the Bishop Co.,
Store and has carpenters and other
workmen at work constructing one
of the dinky courses to keep the
appetite of Mr.. Outdoor Golfer in
trim during the winter months.
The course will be under Mr.. Har-
ison's direct supervision.
The work is being supervised by
Mr.. Harrison. He is very clever
at designing golf courses, large or
small. This new course will be as
tricky and facinating as the most
critical can desire. The course will
consist of 10 holes and will abound
with sufficient hazards to keep
the men in good condition, vocabu-
larly.
The walls are being done by Sim
Weiner, an artist of unusual ability
and will form the illusion that one
is really playing in an attractive
valley.
Work on the new course is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Mr.. Har-
rison expects to have it complete
in every detail within ten days.
Watch next week Herald for the
exact date of opening.

GIN. VII BuiIdNesV
Bridge ON Main Street
Underground Pass Will Be Wild.
ened Four fleetwood Pillars
to Be Removed

At the regular meeting of the
City Council held last evening plans
and specifications for a new steel
and concrete bridge over South
Main street was presented by the
Great Northern Railway Company.
The present width is "a feet.
The Council passed the resolu-
ton authorizing the widening. This
new bridge is on the Great North
ern's Building program for next
year. They are working in con-
junction with the Minnesota State
Highway department who will pay
for the construction of the cement
piers which will cost about $4,000.
In granting the request of the
railroad company the city assumed
financial liability.
The matter of having a danger
signal placed at the crossing on
Highway No. over the Great
Northern tracks was taken up. The
City Clerk was instructed to write
the company asking for this signal
for the benefit Of the public. If it
is not granted it will be taken'~-up
with the Railroad and Warehouse
Commission. One fatal and several
serious accidents have occurred at
this crossing in the last several
years. At the present time there is
nothing to indicate to the traveller
as he is driving west that he is an
preaching a railroad crossing.

Federal Trunk Highways
Are Modern ''Post-Roads'
Old Definition of Constitutional
Term Fits Needs of Today
Aid Explained

How the U. S. government came
to enter the road building field,
how federal aid is distributed, are
explained in State Highway bulle-
tin this week. The information
may be interesting to readers of
The Herald, since federal aid has
done much to speed up highway
improvements in Stearns and other
counties.
Federal aid is appropriated under
the section of the Constitution au-
thorizing Congress ITO establish
post offices and post roads" At
the time the Constitution was
framed, a post road" was under
stood to mean "a road over which
speed could be made, road pre-
pared for hasty travel with post
horses or post chaise, high road
on which stations were located
where relays of post-horses could
be obtained" the carrying of CO.
lonial mails had nothing to do with
the classification of the road.
Under this provision a start was
made on system of national high
ways. The best known was the
Cumberland trail, work on which
was started westward from Cum
berland, Mr., in 1906, and suspend
ed in 1874, when the road had
reached Vandalia, Ill. Invention of
the locomotive led to the belief
that roads were purely local con-
Germ, and the national government
gave road building no concern UNI
til 1893. when the Office Of Road
Inquiry was created.

Practical Suggestions for
Pleasant, Healthy Winter
Washing Hands Before Meals Is
Strongly Recommended by
Medical Association

The coming of winter and the
cooping up season generally means
the coming of the shifting and
the coughing season, says today's
bulletin from the Minnesota State
Medical Association.
If you want this to be a pleas
ant, healthy winter there are few
practical and effective things you
can do, according to this bulletin,
that will cut down sickness enor-
mously if they are practised by
every man, woman and child in
Minnesota.
The first is-wash your hands
often and especially before meals.
Suppose you meet a friend today
with a sniffly cold. He thrusts
wet handkerchief into his pocket
to shake hands with you and you
proceed on your way to lunch with
out washing hands. A day or two
later when you come down with
the same cold it may we'll have
been the germ laden moisture he
left on your hand that was respon-
sible.
The same thing applies even
more seriously in the case of the
typhoid carrier, source of nearly
all reported cases of typhoid in
these days Of prevailing milk and
water inspection. The typhoid
carrier is a dangerous person who
goes about apparently well, and
mingling with others though breed
ing and spreading typhoid germs.
It is remarkable how easy it is for
this carrier to get the germs of the
disease on his hands, if he is not
scrupulous about washing them.
Thus he transfers germs to you or
to your food, if he is in a position
to handle food-and there are
more mysterious cases of typhoid
to account for. The dread infan-
tile paralysis gets about by un-
suspected carriers, too, and by in
fictitious materials clinging to-
to things others may touch. These
are isolated instances of the dam
age unwashed hands can do.
You cannot always know if you
are in a position to hand on disease
to others, the bulletin concludes.
You can, at least, be certain that
you have washed your hands care
fully after leaving the toilet room,
after blowing your nose, as well
as before eating, as a protection to
others and to yourself.
Notice the doctor when he Wis
its a case of communicable di-
sease. He seldom comes down with
diphtheria or small pox or scarlet
fever or typhoid which he is call
ed up to care for, though he is
possessed of no magic whatever to
protect himself.

Auto Mechanic Caught
Beneath Car Gas Tank
Fractured Collar Bone and Other
Injuries Received When Vehicle
Falls From Jack

George Beste, mechanic at the
Main Street Garage, was quite
badly injured last Thursday after
noon when he was crushed be-
meath car. He was taken to the
Long Hospital where it was found
that he had suffered a fractured
collar bone and other injuries and
bruises about his shoulders and
chest.
Mr.. Beste had removed the
wheels from car and had placed
a jack under it. He had placed one
of the wheels on the car and had
crawled under to pry some parts
open and then asked man to push
the wheel on. The man gave a
shove and pushed the car from the
jack. The auto fell on Mr.. Beste
with the above result. The wheel
held the car up on one side which
fact probably saved him from more
serious injury.
George was able to leave the
hospital today, Thursday, and al
though he will not be able to re-
sumo work for some time, he is
getting along as well as can be ex-
pected.

SCHALL PROBABLY
ELECTED SENATOR
HOidale's MajOrities in Henne-
pin and Ramsey Practical
ly Wiped Out
LEAD OF ONLY 4,l7l
545 Precincts Missing-Ol-
sons Majority Over Chase
May Exceed 100000

About midnight Tuesday evening
Einar Hoidale, Democratic candi-
date for United States Senator,
was called to the microphone of
WCCO, Minneapolis, and thanked
the people of Minnesota for elect
ing him by such a handsome ma
jority which was predicted might
reach a 100000. Hennepin and
Ramsey county had given Mr..
Hoidale about $4,000 plurality, and
everything looked rosy. -.
Early Wednesday morning this
majority began to melt away, and
rapidly. At noon it had been de-
creased to $4,000; at 800 o'clock
he was 10,70O to the good. At $3.50
o'clock this Thursday morning the
Herald editor got in touch with
Mr.. Cheney, political writer of the
Minneapolis Journal. He said that
with 545 precincts still missing
Hoidale had lead of ALI. The
Journal has been decidedly pro-
Hoidale paper. In his talk with the
Herald editor Mr.. Cheney stated
there was a strong likelihood thE
tn remaining precincts would elect
Schall by a few thousand majority
when all were in. The outstanding
precincts were scattered in all Sec
lions of the state.
This Thursday morning the o.
son majority was climbing with
every precinct reporting. The fin
ais will likely give him a majority
over State Auditor Ray P. Chase in
excess of 10000.

Contract for Territorial
Road Has Been Located
Estimated Cost, of SO Mile Highway
Was $4,OOO-Black Walnut
Optional in Bridge

A road contract signed May Is,
1855, offers an interesting insight
into road building in territorial
days. The document is considered
very rare, because few roads at
that time were built by contract on
definite plans and specifications.
The type of the road and the cost
offer a striking contrast to the
highways required to carry traffic
today.
The document was sent to G. M.
Babcock commissioner of highways,
by Miss Anna Hartin, of st. Paul,
who found it among some papers
belonging to her mother. It is in
longhand, and well preserved. The
signers were j. H. Simpson, captain
U. S. corps of typographical engin-
GERS, and ]. p. Newton and ]. w.
McComb of st. Paul, who took the
job. On the back it is Endorsed,
Approved, S. Cooper, acting secre-
tary of war;"
A printed copy Of the advertise
ment for bids is attached. One Sec
ton of the road was to be built
from Mendoza to the Cannon River,
with a bridge over the Vermillion
river. The distance was 361s miles,
more or less. A second section was
to be built from the Cannon river
to Red Wing, 17h miles more or
less. The probable amount to be ex-
pended on each section will be $4,-
600, more or less, as may be found
expedient, the announcement said.
The plans called for opening a
rad Is to 66 feet wide ALL trees
and brush to be cut down. A centre
strip was to be cleared and grubbed
the holes to be filled, up and knobs
leveled off. The roadway, in places
requiring it to be embarked to
such height as ordered, and to be
18 feet wide on top. In places where
ordered, these entertainments to
have a foundation of logs laid close
together and extending 10 feet
across the road,
The contractors agreed to do the
work at the following prices:
Grubbing and clearing the center
strip, including the filling up the
small l1Dles and leveling off the hill
locks or small knobs for fifty dol
laxs Per acre.
