Six Out Of Sixteen In Central
Area From Sank

AS Boy Scout Troop 25 swings
this week into its routine schedule
the registration of John Parker
Wednesday swelled Jamboree reg
istrations from this city to six, as
Sank Centre continued to "hold its
own" according to a report from
region 10 headquarters issued on
March 20.
Troop meetings are being revived
this week after five weeks period
in which the patrol and its func-
lions as a unit were stressed. The
program was arranged and troop
meetings discontinued because Of q
Lenten conflict with Sank Centre
church services. Regarded as some
thing new in Scouting circles, the
patrol meeting idea was said to be
more than a little successful by
Scoutmasters at meeting Monday
evening.
Previously registered for Wash
ington's National Scout Jamboree
were Russell Larson and Raymond
Berggreen. Following their lead
Mickey Hansen, Jim Cooper, and
Gordon Hedin were recruited for
the National Jamboree. According
to the bulletin on registration Sank
Centre has six of the total Of 16
registered from the Central Min
nesota Council. And further it Is
found that Russell, who plans
double duty in attending the Ma
tional Jamboree and the World
Jamboree, is one of the two regis
tered from this area for the Inter
national Scout conclave in Holland.
In this encampment the Boy
Scouts offer not only trip at sur
prisingly low cost but two weeks
of real Scouting under the direc-
ton of the finest leadership in the
country-and nearly in the shadow
of the Nations Capitol. There this
summer $4,000 American Boy
Scouts will gather in a great tent
ed city for two weeks. According to
Region 10 estimates of costs, the
entire trip st. Paul-Washington
and return will cost only s62.40.
When camp breaks in Washing
ton, Russell Larson expects to be
among a group of about 400 Amer
lean Scouts who will sail for Hol-
land where representatives from
nearly every nation of the world
in the Scout movement will be en-
camped. According to the bulletin
Region 10, comprising the states of
Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, eastern Montana, north
western Wisconsin and northeast
ern Wyoming, with an allotment
of 1910 Scouts for the Jamborees
had registered up to March 20
only 400 Scouts.

Five File AS
Candidates
For Council
City Election Takes On Add
ed Test In Late
Filings
ELECTION APRIL 9TH
Polls Will Open At 6:30 A.
M.-Close At 8
P. M.

SPEC1AI-SinCe the follow
ing article was put into type,
p. j. Svenneby, who had filed
as a candidate for the council,
announced that he had with
drawn his name, and hence will
not appear on the ballot. Mr..
Svenneby's withdrawal was
made owing to business rea-
sons, as he was informed that
no member of the council can
transact business with the
City. Although this law has not
always been enforced, we are
informed that the present
Council has carried out the let
ter of the law, which forbids
the sale Of merchandise, ETC.,
to the council by one Of its
members. It is a shame that
men who unselfishly wish and
are willing to serve their COM
munity are penalized in this
case, but such Is the law.
Until last Saturday, the last day
for filing for the coming city
election, Tuesday, April 9Th, indt-
cations apparently pointed to a
quiet elective event. However,
when five men threw their hats in
to the ring for aldermanic offices,
a nice little fight doomed on the
political horizon, and Sank Centre
voters have been assured Of ample
selection for city representation.
In last weeks Herald we an
nounced that Joseph E. Miller, who
has been a member of the Council
during the past two years, had
filed for reelection. Since that time
four more men have filed as fol-
lows: Carl Eckberg, a member OF
the Council during the past two
years, Ed Besser, p. j. Svenneby
and Ralph Steffes, who up until
two years ago also was a member
of the Council.
With five men running, electors
will be required to vote for three
men, to fill three places on the
Council. These men will serve for a
two-year term. The men whose
terms expire are: Frank Pangburn,
who did not choose to file for Of
flee again, and Jos. Miller and Carl
Eckberg.
The polls for the spring election
Tuesday, April 9Th, will open at
$50 a. M, and will remain open
until p. m. Polling places will be
as usual, at the Armory for voters
of the First Ward, and at the Fire
room on the ground floor Of the
City Hall for Second Ward elect
ors. The line Of markation in de-
termining the First and Second
Ward runs through Third Street
east and west. Those on the north
side of Third Street will vote at
the Armory and those on the south
side of Third Street will vote at
the City Hall.
This Is the third Of a series Of
elections held in the city this
others being the school
bond and the school election.

Building Era Op-
ened Past Week
Land Mark Being Raced While
New Structures Are Being
Planned

Sauk Centres building drouth
gives promise of being broken. Fly
ing dirt and poured cement herald
ed this week the opening Of Sank
Centres building era for the sum-
mer-with actual building action
swinging under way.
With the work of removing de-
bris and excavation completed, act
ual operations were begun on the
building of the foundation for the
Sullivan building this week. The
building, wrecked in the Decem-
Der fire, is to house the Penney
company. No available plans could
be had as to when the Hilsdale
erection will be begun.
Plans for the erection of dance
hall are held by Paul Domke, and
it is stated that work will begin
shortly on the edifice. To be located
on Sank Lake several miles from
this city, the pavilion is expected
to be open for early summer pa
tronage.
Builders feel that several homes
may be built during the summer or
fall. Several have purchased lots
with a view to building. None have
definitely decided on their course
Of action.
Music to passers-by was the hum
Of saws, the falling Of boards, and
the hustle Of working men, as the
fire-ruined Dubois building was
levelled to the ground this week.
As the building gradually levelled.
disappearing was one Of the city's
few three story structures. Hailed
for years as landmark the build
ing was burned in the fire of jan
uary, and since has stood as a
stark remembrance to the occas-
ion.

During 1896

RATIO IS TWO TO ONE
Birthrate 3 Percent AS Com.
pared To Deathrate of
1.5 Percent

Sank Centres population Is
growing with a birthrate of per-
cent as compared with death

total Of deaths in the City as "a.
Although an increase of nearly 2 to
I is noted in these figures for 1895,
say that the birth rate
is not high. Comment was issued
on the uncommonly low death rate
for the City during the past year.
Checking with church records
births totalled at SO in a survey of
seven churches, while deaths made
an aggregate of 43. 1t Is assumed
because of the rural scope of the
the totals are higher than
for the city alone.
While 1896 was Leap Year, the
girls didn't do so we'll with the
situation since a total Of
the marriages in the community Is
set at "a. While many Of these fam
lilies are residents Of the City, a
large percentage Of them reside In
the surrounding rural sections.
In the churches the records are
as follows: Church Of Our Lady of
the Angels twenty-three births, Z
deaths, and 4 marriages. At st.
Paul's Church, 81 births are enter
ed, 10 deaths, and marriages. 6
deaths, births and 2 marriages
were recorded at the Congregation
al church. From the records of the
Methodist Church it Is found there
