CHI Signers
Referendum
Farmers To Decide Whether They
Wish To Continue C0rn-Hog
Program for 1855

Corn-hog contract signers In
Stearns county will be given an OPP
portunity to vote on the corn-hog
referendum to be offered this
month. The decision to be made is
whether or not contract signers
wish to continue with the corn-hog
program for the year following
November 30, 1895. The decision to
be made by contract signers will
determine largely what the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton will do concerning new con-
tract.
While a number of folks believe
that corn and hog prices at present
are high enough to warrant dis
continuance of the program, most
folks realize that a good portion of
the recent advances in price are
due to drought conditions of 1884
and that with normal or nearly
normal crops in 1885 and 1885 hog
numbers and corn production will
reach a point whereby prices will
be near to where they were a few
years ago.
The choice, however, must be
made by the contract signers them
selves and by their wishes the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton will be governed.

Work on
Dam Started
Monday Eve
Okes Construction Co., of ST.
Paul, Announced AS
Successful Bidder
AMOUNT IS $l8,963.2O
H. T. Hagerstad, of River
Falls, Wis, Employed
As City Engineer

AASAAAhhAoAy WOTh Oh the COIL
struction of Sank Centres new
dam over the Sank River was COM
menced Monday, with the Okes
Construction Co., Of st. Paul, sue
cessful bidders, in charge Of the
project. This company has the
bridge contract with the State
Highway Department and hence,
was able to begin work immediate
ly.
Bids for the new dam were OPP
ened Friday by the members of the
Water, Light & Power Commission
at which time 1t was revealed that
the aforementioned company had
succeeded in getting the contract
with their bid Of $1S,963.20. Two
bids were submitted, the other be-
ing from the Starbuck Construc-
ton Co., for the amount Of $685.
$3.50. The dam may cost some
what more or less than the bid
which is given as an estimate on
units Of concrete, piling, etc.
III. T. Hagerstad, of River Falls
Wis, has been employed as the
city's engineer to supervise the
work on the dam. The contract was
written Tuesday and the bond was
placed Immediately. This contrac.
is made directly with the city, and
is in no way government super
vised project.
The bid placed by the Okes Con-
struction Co., on the dam is at the
same unit price as the bid on the
bridge, and the prevailing wage
scale will be the same as that paid
for labor at the bridge. Local mer
also will be employed on this work
The dam will be so built that the
city can make arrangements fol
water power at any time in the flu
ture. According to advice from en-.
gineers penstock can be built lat
er at no greater price than the
cost would be at present.
The dam will be built about sew.
en- feet east Of the new bridge now
being erected. It will be 100 feet
from north to south, however, wa
ter will flow over only seventy
feet. The new dam will be of mod
ern concrete construction, with a
foundation approximately eleven
feet lower than the old dam, and
it will also rest on piling driven 1s
feet lower than that.
The original or first dam was
started in 1856 by Moore & JAG
ques, who were forced to quit
work owing to the panic Of 1856-57
In the spring Of 1858, when the ice
went out, the partially constructed
dam went with 1t. In 1850 1t was re-
built and was in use until July
1867 when a disastrous flood swept
it away. Shortly after 1t was re-
built and since that time has seen
continuous service, although the
dam was again threatened when
Fairy Lake broke over its banks
several years ago. It has also been
overhauled several times in recent
years.
Work on the new bridge Is pro-
crossing better than expected. The
center part of the structure Is COM
pleted with the exception of the
covering for the road bed and the
walks. The road bed will be laid on
the south end this week, and forms
are being built for the piers on
the north end. The bridge will be
a beautiful structure when COM
pleted.

stung her eyelids, she fought them
back. She would not bow down

, of books, so I'll lock like a col
lege girl beating ride" Once
when riding with John Mcneil,
she had seen girls asking for rides
to and from the little college
which lay 20 miles away. No one
had seem to think less of them
for their boyish independence.
Very nice-looking people picked
them up.
As she had no suitcase, Ruth
used a heavy cardboard suit box
from Bertha's storeroom. 1t ex-
actiy held the extra clothes. She
ued 1T with stout string. And
then there was nothing left to do
but gather up her box, her purse,
and the two books which she had
selected as appropriate.
They'll be Duncan Hunters

he was still sleeping. my strang-
est adventure of all" she decided
thinking Of last night.
But there was yet another ad-
venture in store for Ruth Wood
son before she should pass
through the blue door into the
world again. AS she descended
the last step of the stairway and
stood cautiously listening to
Penny's heavy football in the
kitchen, a girl came through the
dining room door and confronted
her. Tn estranger was as grace
full as a tiger and wore a brown
tweed suit, loose fur at her neck
and a small brown hat. She had
bold-brown hair and dark eyes.
Her features were overwhelmingly
perfect.
Ruth noticed all this. She also
noticed that the girl had been
eating her breakfast. She carried
a toasted roll in her hand. 1t
must be Elaine Chalmers, of
course. Ruth said, Good morn
ingT
elaine said, ooh, Leaving us

Ruth thought, in panic, "Why
did this have to happen to me-"
She looked at Elaine Chalmers
plcadingly. She thought, "If only
she'll let me go and not badger

1t was too much to ask Of

off easily. Elaine said, you've
been using my name, l hear. Like
it,"
Ruth forced a smile. cts a

you're not welcome" Elaine
replied coldly. She laid the roll
down on the hall table and
daintily wiped her fingers on a
brown and white sport banker
chief. That done, she looked at
Ruth with cool detachment. She
remarked, 81 gave Penny quite a
start when l arrived this morning.
No wonder.
"No wonderp Ruth echoed.
For a moment she was carried
away by the drama of the thing.
She wished she might have seen
