CHI Signers
Referendum
Farmers To Decide Whether They
Wish To Continue COrn-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 80, 1885 The decision to
be made by contract signers will
determine largely what the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton will do concerning a 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 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 1896 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,o63.2O
H. T. Hagerstad, of River
Falls, Wis, Employed
AS City Engineer

preliminary work on the con-
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 op-
ened Friday by the members of the
Water, Light & Power Commission
at which time it was revealed that
the aforementioned company had
succeeded in getting the contract
with their bid of $18,963.2O. 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 a 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 fu
ture. According to advice from en-.
gineers a 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. 1t 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 1860 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.

By LLOYD PRICE

Johns Zcelar allowed his power ful body to slide to the turf which adjoined the company wash house, glorifying in the sensation of earn ed rest which follows long phy- sical exertion in the mines. "All right, Buddie," sounded a voice in his ear, dragging him from reverie. Get up. You're go- ing with us."
 Four men in troopers uniforms became visible to Johns hastily opened eyes. All were huskies. Continued the leader: "We got a warrant here for your arrest for paying unwelcome attentions to q woman here in camp"
 Rebellion burned in Zdelar's oth- erwise soft brown eyes. "Who's dat woman?" he said.
 Mrs Mary Zudich. We know you're a pretty tough package, so don't try anything rough. Come on, we're in a hurry"
 "Dat woman" Johns growled. It became clear to him in flash. Mary Zudich had angled for his attentions since her man Franz had died a year before. He had spurned her, and this was revenge. T no tink I go." he said, and lay back.
 "Gandhi stuff. eh?" observed the leader. Well, I guess we can get you to the wagon without any trouble. Take 8 leg each of you men, and we'll take his shoulders. Alley-oop now"
 With a limp and unresisting Johns Zdelar the procession moved across the mine yard. Johns was heavy and the troopers sweated at their task. Mine cars, shunted here and there by the diminutive cleo tric motors, offered moving obsta- cles.
 As for Johns, his slow mind struggled with an escape plot and suddenly plan formed. When the officers bore him under one of the trolley wires, he heaved upward.
 Five hundred volts of impartial electricity shot through his hands and arms and through his body. It was absolutely without respect for law and order and four state troop CTS suddenly found themselves in as many grotesque positions, wonder ing how much damage the earth-- quake had done.
 But Johns Zdelar swung onto the Hast of train of cars entering the mine, thumb and forefingers raised in derisive salute.
 A mine is like an underground city, with twistings and turnings, tunnels and rooms, connected in
