Preparations are also being
made for the erection of one or
two churches during the sum-
mer.
In addition to the above
large number Of dwelling houses
might be mentioned. We are
creditably informed that Messrs.
Moore G. Mcclure hold orders
for lumber for some forty build
ings, yet to be filled.-(Moore &
McClure's Lumber Yard was To-
Gated on the lot where the Light
Plant now stands.)
And last, though we trust our
readers will not say the least,
we will call attention to the
Sank Centre Herald, the first
number Of which you have be-
fore you. We have in addition to
the old material of the late
Sank Valley News office, purch-
ased at the east large stock of
entirely new type and other
material suitable for the publ
cation Of a neat first class news
paper and to the execution of
the best style Of job work, in all
its varieties. The Herald will
identify itself with the inter-
ests Of the town and surround
ing country, and we propose by
the bestowment upon it Of en-
ergy, skill and money, with the
assistance of the liberal patron
age of our citizens, to make it
one of the institutions of Nor
thern Minnesota.-(The first
Herald was printed in a build
ing where the Burgess Grocery
store is located.)
The influx of immigration to
both town and country this sea-
son is unparalleled. Town lots,
for purposes Of business and
residences are selling rapidly,
and the country is covered with
claim seekers. Before fall there
will be very little vacant gov
eminent land left within twenty
miles Of Sank Centre. We no
tice among the immigration of
this spring a large proportion of
the better class of Norwegians.
They make good citizens and
are not afraid of work. BY their
industry the country will be
made to TEEN with agricultural
wealth. We welcome them to
our beautiful valley.

The information as to loca-
tions of these various business
places was received from ]. F.

Sixty-eight years ago, a good
ly span Of mans life, does not
seem long time, and yet, as
one glances back through the
pages Of the early Herald it is
almost impossible to realize the
changes wrought during that
period. We have before us a
copy of the first Herald publish
ed Thursday, June 9Th, 1857, and
although it and the events of
community welfare Of others,
heralded by it, are the efforts
of those who have passed be-
yond, 1t is still a living testi-
mony Of the pioneer days Of
Sank Centre. In those days, ac-
cording to the news, Sank Cen
tire was a hustling, busting
pioneer town, where men were
building for permanent abode
for themselves and their famil-
les, and that their work was
well done is proven by the cir
cumstance Of the community to-
day. On the event Of another an
niversary Of the Herald we

lowing items of the accomplish
ments and efforts of the city's

THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT
It's Influences, It's PersOnalitie

ltS Influences, It's PerSOnallt1eS
It would take a great biologist
studying an acorn in the labora-
tory to perceive within the acorn
the giant oak with its far flung
branches and it's thousands of
leaves. Yet that giant oak is with
in the little acorn.
In the first days of our nation
wise statesmen, our forefathers
wrote for us the Constitution Of
the United States, a brief docu-
ment in itself,-small like the
acorn Is small.
Out of the heart of the Constitu-
ton there has grown giant tree
of laws that spreads its branches
throughout the length and breadth
of this land. Each branch is part
of the parent stem. Each leaf lives
by the sap therefrom.
Perhaps the signers Of the Con-
stitution were given the vision to
see in that document the giant
tree of laws that would grow. Per-
haps, too, they were privileged to
look into the future and see the
great nation that would rest under
it's protecting branches. These
things we cannot know, but we do
know that our wise forefathers set
up for us guide to determine for
us what branches, what leaves OF
this giant tree OF laws receive
their growth from the sap, from
the life blood Of the mother root.
That guide is the Supreme Court
Of the United States.
Spurious branches have from
time to time been engrafted upon
the tree by thoughtless or schem-
ing lawmakers. Healthy limbs have
weighted down with the fungus OF
oppressive laws. Poisonous briars
and bushes of unjust and even
traitorous laws have been planted
beside the tree, their tendrils en-
twining themselves about the
trunk to stifle and strangle its
growth. All these must be cut
away and cast aside. The Supreme
Court YIELDS the great pruning
knife.
Nine men! And for so great a
task! It would seem a task for
men who are almost supernatural,

liens that these nine men are

through the unfortunate Great Mead
ows campaign, and again q year later
he established his headquarters here,
recruiting and drilling his faithful
Virginians for that great and dis
astrous adventure known as the Brad
dock campaign.
Hub Of His Activities.
For the next 40 years Washington
was present at Gadsby's for military
or civil conferences, for meetings with
his neighbors, for functions of various
sorts with members Of the Masonic
lodge, or to attend affairs Of q purely
social haracter-among which were
the birth night balls given in his honor
up to the time Of his death.
Within this period 0adsby,s Tavern
had been the stage upon which had
transpired number Of events Of ma
jor importance to State and Nation.
In 1853 Washington was elected to
the Virginia House Of Burgesses from
Fairfax County. of which Alexandria
was then the county seat. and Gads-
bys Tavern was then the center Of
the political as well as the social and
military activities Of the whole coun-
trySide.
In 1774 Washington was elected by
the Continental Congress commander
In chief Of the Continental forces;
soon followed the revolution. 1t was
in Gadsby's, which was in the early
years known as the City Tavern, that,
in TITS. meeting Of the freeholders
of Fairfax County was held, with
Washington presiding, at which the
celebrated Fairfax County resolves
were. adopted. These resolves blazed
the way for the soul-stirring bill Of
rights and for the Declaration Of In
dependence.
The old tavern saw little Of WASH
ington during the two terms when he
served as President, but Immediately
upon his return to his beloved Mount
Vernon, his visits were resumed and
were frequent; on February II, 1898,
and again on February II, 1899, the
citizens Of Alexandria and the sur
rounding country paid special tribute
to him as the honored guest at the
celebrated Birthnight ball. In the
closing days Of that same year, WASH
ington died.
Thirty days prior to his death,
Washington issued from the steps Of
Gadsby's Tavern his last military
command. This was addressed to the
local military companies which had
passed in review before him.
The list of Colonial notables who
were regular visitors or occasional
guests at Gadsby's Is q long one
