Local Man Elected
As Vice Chairman of
Republicans of State
Plan Convention For State Party
Reorganization and Adoption
OF Constitution

At a meeting of the Republican
State Central Committee held in
st. Paul Tuesday, at which 1t was
decided to hold a special state Re-
publican convention this fall, w.
M. Parker, of Sank Centre, was
unanimously elected as vice
chairman. He was elected to sue
coed George Frankberg, Of Fergus
Falls, who resigned because of i'll
health. This new position will re-
quire that Mr.. Parker spend a
great deal of his time in st. Paul
at Republican headquarters. Mr..
Parker's election to the vice chair
manship came in recognition Of the
splendid work done in the Sixth
District during the last campaign.
The convention to be held this
fall will be to consider a constitu-
ton which would mean a complete
reorganization Of the party.
Under the proposed new consti-
tuition, as drafted by a special or
ganization committee, 174 county
chairmen and chairwomen would
dominate party affairs, replacing
the State Central committee now
appointed by nominees. These
county chairmen and chairwomen
would be elected at county conven.
tions.
Another proposed radical change
in party organization would re-
quire enrolment in the party of
any voter before he or she could
participate in party precinct eau
cuses4 or hold party office, with a
provision that 81 a year member
ship dues might be charged at the
discretion Of the county committee
The state executive committee
will fix the time and place of the
convention this fall. A motion by

discretion to call the convention

defeated overwhelmingly on the
demand that 1--WE want action
now"
The reorganization plan grew
out of a proposal by a Committee
for Republican Action formed sew
| eral months ago, which requested
that it be given authority to con-
duct certain party activities until
the next primary election. Its pro-
posal was tabled by the state ex-
ecutive committee but an organi-
cation committee headed by Rus
sell Sweitzer, Of st. Paul, was
named to work out reorganiza-
| ton plan.

For Property
Purchase-Sale
Election Will Be Held Tues.
day, July 9th, For New
Program
PLAYGROUND NEEDED
Wish To Sell Main Street
Property And Acquire
Part of Block 4

An election for the purpose of au-
thorizing the Board of Education
of the Town of Sank Centre to sell
and purchase certain properties
will be held Tuesday, July 6, in the
superintendent office in the Sen
Tor High School building. The polls
will be open from 10 o'clock in the
morning to II noon and from 100
o'clock to 400 o'clock in the after
noon.
The Board Of Education cannot
legally sell or purchase property
without the consent Of the elect
crate, and hence the election Is
necessary for that purpose. Under
this proposal the board wishes to
dispose Of its Main Street property,
when the opportunity presents It.
self, and when conditions warrant
the sale. Under the same proposal
the board asks permission to pur-
chase property in block 4, across
the street, west from the school.
This property also will be purchas-
ed as conditions permit. The pur-
chase in block includes all pro-
perty excepting lots 1, 4, and 6.
G. J. F,riswold, of the State Plan
ming Board, recommended the pro
position to the Board Of Education,
under a flexible program which
can be carried out over a period
Of years, said DR.. J. f. Dubois,
head Of the committee appointed
to make arrangements for this
proposal. Mr.. F'riswold stated that
Main Street property Is business
property and should be used as
such. He recommended greater
playground space, and the pur-
chase Of such properties to the
west as may be acquired from time
to time for the benefit Of the
school.
The Board plans to dispose of
part of the tennis court on Main
Street. They feel that the tennis
court should be located somewhere
else, as the busy thoroughfare pro-
vides a hazard to the life of chill
dren, who play there.
This matter is not for the Board
to decide primarily, but 1t Is up to
the people. II 1t be their desire
that the Board carry out this plan
they will dispose Of the Main
Street property on bid, when con-
ditions are right, and they will
purchase the property in block 4
when conditions are right. Sales of
property will have to be sold by
bid, and as demand for the Main
Street property presents itself,
bids will beadvertised for, and, If
right, the property will be sold, II
not the bids will be rejected. The
Board reserves the right to reject
all bids.
Mr.. Friswold suggested a build
ing program, planned for future
needs Of the school, which will be
published when available.

Block II to Meet
Plan To Establish A Grade For
Alley Which Is Higher Than
Abutting Property

A meeting of all the owners of
property, abutting the alley in
Block IL, the block on the west
side of Main Street, running from
the Corner Drug Store to the First
State Bank, has been called for the
evening Of July z, 1887, in the Com
munity Club rooms. The purpose
of this meeting is to establish a
grade for the alley, running north
and south through the block, and
other matters pertaining to the al
ley. The present grade Of the alley
Is higher than that Of the abutting
property, and as the water runs
toward the buildings and fills the
Easements, it Is detriment which
should be repaired as soon as pos
sible.

ENJOYED FINE TRIP

Sometime ago we announced in
news item that Mr.. and Mrs. j.
w. Kusba, formerly Of this city,
had left for the West where they
intended to make their future
home. They are now located in San
Leandro, CAL, after an interesting
motor trip. Mr.. Kusba stated in a
letter that they had driven through
Sacramento, Cal, but did not 10.
cate the Barron family, it being
Sunday afternoon, a time when 1t
is hard to find folk at home. They
did, however, see the new Barron
store, a fine looking place Of bus
mess. Mr.. and Mrs. Kusba also
visited with Mable Lee at Stock
ton. The letter about their trip and
new home follows:
San Leandro, Calf,
$50 w. Broadway Blvd,
June %, 1887.
Dear Sirs:
We are located after a very in
teresting trip through the different
states and their wonders. Came
through without a break and also
our car Of furniture arrived with
out damage of any kind.
We took week to drive through
and the car of goods was there
when we arrived-"going some for
freight" When we left Litchfield
1t was raining, and we followed
rain long way west; so we had
no heat, wind or dust-but we
could see where dust was possible
If conditions were right.
The highway for most the way is
very good and grades easy enough
so that most all can be made easily
without changing gears. They are
winding, but all wen marked. Wyo-
ming is a very interesting state
with it's mining and salt beds, etc.
In Utah are also wonders, whole
fields look as though they were
one Of our lakes in Minnesota,
frozen over and white as far as
you can see.
We are living in San Leandro, so
called it seems to be the good place
to live; we like it. Everybody
seems the same, the sun gets kind
Of hot at midday, but you can most
always feel a cool draft and by
stepping into the shade it is cool.
Nights are cool and you sleep with
covers and how you rest.
About p M. it starts to cool
and the air seems fresh and nice.
No mosquitoes at all, a few flies
but no worry. You can work on the
lawn or enjoy the outside without
being bothered that way.
There seems to be quite a bit of
building going on, especially lot
of new homes. To rent a home is
almost impossible. We have many
factories between here and Oak
land and still more coming in. It
really seems that when the labor
situation returns to normal and
difficulties are settled, things will
hum.
We wish that you would send us
the Herald. VIE have missed is
sues in not having it forwarded to
us. Our kindest regards to all of
our dear friends. We hope that If
any Of them come this way that
they will look us up; we are locat-
ed so we are easily found.
Respectfully,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Kusba.

Clifford Domke WiN
Ledne for China On
Thursday July roth
Will Remain In The Orient For
Two Years High School
Teaching Period

kAOOdrO the -. -. Empress OF ia
pan, Clifford Domke, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Domke, of this city,
will sail from Vancouver July 10th
bound for the Orient for a two
year stay teaching in Chinese
high school. Clifford expects to
leave here Saturday and will visit
enroute in Butte, Montana, with
his brother, Fay, and in Portland,
Oregon, with Charles Gray.
Clifford goes to China to teach
in the Ming I pronounced e.
middle school in Fenchow, Shansi
province, in China, as a represen-
tative Of Carleton College. Clifford,
Junior, was selected from appli-
cation by the Carleton-in-C China
board composed Of faculty and stu
dent members as most representa-
tive Of the Minnesota college. He is
to instruct in both English and
physical education. Middle school
in China is comparable to high
school in the States. T singular
honor, the two year teaching pos
ition, which amounts to a schol-
arship, is awarded to only one
Carleton college student each year
from the Junior class.
Aboard the Empress of Japan
Clifford will have as shipmates two
Oberlin students, Miss Charlotte
Tinker and Herbert VanMeter.
Their route will carry them to
Honolulu and thence to Yokohoma
Japan. BY train they will cross ia
pan to a port on the Inland Sea-
out through the Yellow sea and
land in the port Of Taku. He will
go to Tientsin and thence to Pc
king. Fenchow, in Shansi province
is a city Of about $4,000 nestled in
valley between two mountain
ranges about 800 miles inland from
Picking. Lying inside the historic
Great Wall Of China, Shansi prov
ince is about the size Of the state
of Minnesota. It's climate Is like
that of Ohio state since it lies in
the same latitude, and the density
of population is comparable to
that of Ohio's.
Cliff will probably pick up bits
of the Shansi province Chinese
language, but that will not entitle
him to talk in other provinces
since each province has its own
peculiar dialects and idioms. Those
who speak Shansi cannot speak
Cantonese. During his stay there
clothing problems will drop to mill,
he said. He will wear over trousers
the traditional long, kimona-like
dress. The garb is about three
quarter length with Sits up the
sides above the knees. Highly col
ored, they are inexpensive and
convenient, Cliff said. Though it is
not compulsory to wear them, Mr..
Domke said that the native Chin
ese have better attitude toward
foreigners If the practice is fol
lowed. Besides his experience in
teaching, Clifford will have oppor-
tunity to work in the hospital
there under the charge Of DR..
Judd, University Of Minnesota
Medical School.
At the end Of two years, in the
summer of 1889, he will return
with a proposed trip completing a
tour around the world. In that fall
he will return to Carleton to finish
his senior year in Mortified.
