Ask No Truck Parking
On Third Street
Request Council To Erect Signs on
Third Street Announcing
Ban

Several important resolutions
were passed at the Community
Club meeting held in the club
rooms last week Thursday evening
but owing to the poor attendance
Of business men, the matters of
sales days and the Sixth District
Legion convention were postponed
to a special meeting held Wednes-
day evening.
The first resolution passed asked
the City Council to request that no
trucks be parked on Third Street,
and to put up signs to that effect.
This street Is narrow and the park
ing of large trucks is dangerous to
motorists and tourists, who travel
on Highway So in large numbers.
This resolution also included a re-
quest to businessmen to refrain
from parking their cars on either
Main or Third Streets on Saturday
night. This will allow more parking
space for visitors and prospective
customers.
The club also went on record as
approving the operation of slot ma
chimes in the city for the purpose
of defraying the expense of the
Firemen's convention in 1889, and
the Sixth District Legion conven-
ton which it Is planned will be
held in Sank Centre next year.
Thirteen men attended the spec
ial meeting of the Community Club
Wednesday evening. This meeting
was called for the purpose of get
ting the views of businessmen re-
garding the 1887 Sixth District Lee
gion Convention, and to ascertain
as to whether or not they are in
favor of holding it in this city.
Those present expressed them
selves in favor of the proposal. All
other businessmen will be APP
preached on the matter, before
Saturday so that delegates from
the local Legion Post will be able
to present something tangible to
the convention delegates in ses-
sion next Monday.

FAITHFUL DOG
| WAS POISONED

On another page Of the Herald
this week will be found a no
tice offering $50 reward for in
formation leading to the con-
viction Of two thieves, who pois-
oned Duke" faithful dog of
Leroy Working. According to
to Mr.. Working the dog was
poisoned while protecting his
property from two men who
were bent on a thieving expedi-
ton. He has an idea as to who
committed the crime, but wants
further proof to establish the
guilt Of these heartless wretch
es.
Several dogs have been pois-
oned of late, and those who
have committed these crimes
may be mighty thankful that
one of the owners did not catch
them in the actor as he stated
another murder would have
been committed In which a
skunk would have been the vic
tim.

Sank Centre, Gateway To Lake Re
giOn, Enjoys Three Busy
Tourist Days

A gateway to the Minnesota Lake
Region, Sank Centre became a
beaten path for Twin Citians and
Fourth of July motorists seeking
relief from the city's heat at the
lakes.
Friday evening motorists leaving
the Cities when their work was
done, found themselves in an I'M
broken chain of cars that advanc-
ed upon the lakes of this territory.
Every available cottage and tour
list cabin was taken over and ac-
commodations were jammed TO
capacity. Fishing parties invaded
Sank Lake and lakes surrounding
this territory over the double holi-
day. Scurrying about to find places
Of rest, motorists were forced in
some instances, to take refuge
from the grind of the highway in
their cars. All night long persons
living along the pavement reported
the ceaseless line Of cars advanc-
ing northward.
Buses were running to capacity,
even with several specials on every
run on Friday and Sunday saw the
great exit of the vacationers from
this section. Trains alike were rum
ming complete schedules.
During the weekend cafes and
filling stations reported land Of
flee business. A traffic that threat
ened to break Fourth Of July trav-
Ell records carried tired, hungry,
and thirsty passengers who re
freshed themselves in Sank Cen
ire business places. A point distant
enough from the Cities and far
enough from the northermost
lakes, Sank Centre became a half
way mark for motorists. Many fill
ling stations remained open over
night to accommodate the train Of
cars. Sunday the great trek home
ward began and until late evening
the stream of cars continued.

Fire Discovered at $3.50 On

A fire, which destroyed the

Carlson, who reside on the south.
west shore of Fairy Lake, was dis.
covered at about $50 Monday
morning, when the family was
awakened by their faithful dog
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson have resided
on the farm, the property of M. r
Madland, for the past year and a
half.
The house, a brick veneered
structure, was totally destroyed
the only salvage being some of the
brick. Mr.. maitland, who carried
insurance on the house, stated tc
the family, that he will rebuild i'm
mediately.
With the aid of neighbors and
the Sank Centre fire department
called to aid in extinguishing the
flames, about one-half of the house
hold goods were saved. The fire
had gained. such Roadway before
being discovered that the depart
ment could do nothing to save the
building. Efforts were lent to saw
ing other buildings and household
goods.
The origin of the fire is un-
known, but it is thought that II
started in a lean-to on the west
side of the house. The building
was completely demolished with
only patches of the jagged brick
walls remaining erect.
Owing to lack of storage space
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson were forced
to leave their furniture in the
yard, and through the courtesy OF
neighbors the family was given
the comforts of home, while pre-
pairing for a place to live during
the construction period.
It was indeed lucky for the fam
lily that the dog awakened them, as
the fire had gained such proper
tons that escape might have been
impossible a short time later.
