HEADS GROUP
Attempts Made To Purchase Pri-
waite Power Co. To Add To
Municipal Plant

]. c. Unger, Of Seattle, Wash,
has been selected to head a group
Of citizens known as the Public
Power Committee, whose work 1t
is to conduct a campaign for the
purpose Of education This will
ultimately result in a vote Of the
citizens as to whether or not they
wish to take over $37, 800, 900 worth
OF property Of a private power
company, to operate in connection
with the municipal plant.
Mr.. Unger has been active in this
work for years and Is well versed
In the operation Of municipal
plants. At the present time the
committee Is attempting to force a
vote on the proposition.
Some time ago Mr.. Unger sent
figures comparing electric rates Of
the City of Sank Centre with other
cities in Minnesota and surround
ing towns. The comparison showed
that Sank Centre, with a municipal
plant, has a lower rate than cities
where private plants are operated,
and in several instances lower
rate than other municipal plants Of
approximately the same size.

Sank Centre "B" 26; Osalxis "B" 10
In "a surprise attack that launch
ed them far ahead of their rivals
the Harvey seconds rallied around
the Main Street banner to down an
Osakis second squad 26 to 10.
Since the locals were given only
four free throws-and they missed
all of those, it was essential that
tkey rely on their offensive attack
for every single point. And they did
it nobly. Led by Pangburn, who in
this game took the scoring ascend
ancy, the entire team Melted a
share of the buckets. Pangburn
was responsible for four shots, and
Conkey collared three to follow him
closely. Kringen and Ethun, trailed
with two Melted shots apiece. Hunt
and Carlson each picked up buck
ct to close their scoring.
The game was not so thrilling as
its successor, as the seconds went
methodically about the business Of
carving the Osakis defense into
the four corners of the gym. Thir-
teen may be unlucky for some peo-
pie, but it's duck soup for these re-
serves of Coach Harvey's. During
the course of the game they netted
thirteen field shots to score 26
points.

lengthy periods elapsing between
the steps of this process were made
necessary by the difficulty and de-
lay inevitably involved in carrying
either men or messages from one
part of the thirteen original states
to another.
In the case Of Washington's in
auguration, even these generous
time allowances were found insult
ficient. He was not notified of his
election until April IA, when a spec
ial messenger from the presiding
officer of Congress arrived at
Mount Vernon. Leaving his home
on April 16, Washington reached
New York a few days before his
inauguration on April 30.
The change was made possible
through modern methods Of COM
runication and travel TODAY. When
March 4, was set as the Inaugural
ton date it was impossible for a
president-elect to get to his inau-
uration service any sooner than the
date selected.

KING WINTER
IN NEW DEAL
Unofficial Temperature Report
Shows % Below Zero As
Record For Winter

King Winter pulled one out of
his sleeve this week and dealt one
off the bottom of the deck to raise
the deuce" with this community.
A new low for this winter in
temperatures was reached Tuesday
morning when the mercury sagged
dangerously near the 80 mark. I'm
official temperatures in the morn
ing were read at the Great North
ern depot at % below. The still,
cold air, free from wind, was de-
ceiving. Frost-bitten cheeks, ears,
and protruding noses were report
ed in this section.
Warming temperatures and ris-
ing winds blew into Sank Centre
Tuesday evening bringing siftings
Of snow that by morning had turn
ed into the best snow storm of the
winter. Several inches had fallen
by morning and snow continued
throughout the day. The situation
was ripe for blocked roads by rea-
son of the fact that the deep cuts
made by blowing out from the last
blizzard We're Ravens for the driven
snow.
Traffic again ebbed near to zero.
Rural mail carriers were advised
not to attempt routes Wednesday
morning. Snow plows were sent
scurrying out to help trucks and
cars out of drifted roads. Buses
were not attempting to maintain
any semblances of former sched-
ules, but were running intermittent
ly throughout the day Wednesday,
Train services were maintaining
normal schedules, however.
Schools, handicapped during this
month by blocked roads and i'll
ness, were further hindered in reg
ular classes by the snow. School
buses for the public school did not
attempt covering routes Wednes-
day. Shortly after opening the st.
Pauls Parochial School was dis
missed. Fear was expressed by
school authorities that students
would not be able to reach their
homes by evening.
It was stated Wednesday noon
that in a few hours Minneapolis
would be gained from Sank Centre
only with great difficulty. In the
ey ent of rising winds motorists were
warned to keep off the highways.

Rev. Earl Munson
Talked To Kiwanis
Stresses Need of Friendship To In
sure World Peace As Part OF
Great Christian Program

An inspiring talk on the need of
friendship to insure world peace
was made to the Alexandria Xii
wants club Monday by Rev. Earl
Munson, pastor of the Methodist
church, said the Park Region Echo.
Rev. Munson was formerly pastor
OF the Methodist church in Sank
Centre.
Friendship, he said, is not only
necessary in our daily life but it
is the hope of the world; the only
thing that will save civilization
from ruin.
Nationalism, as practiced in re-
cent years, is curse. In some
countries the children are taught
in school that all of the adjoining
nations are enemies who must be
subdued. Instead of that, the fell
lowship of internationalism should
be taught to the children. Demo-
cracies depend upon fellowship
among their people, and the only
way to preserve world peace Is for
similar fellowship among the ma
tions.
The Master, who first preached
this doctrine to the world, also said
that we must lose ourselves to find
ourselves. The practical applica-
ton of that is that the people we
want to serve us are those who lose
themselves in their work; who are
so interested in their work that
they forget self.
A school superintendent seeks to
find teachers who love their work;
who are so interested in getting
the truth into the minds and hearts
of the children that they forget
about their personal problems much
of the time. When one retains an
attorney, he wants the man who is
interested in people and wants to
help them; not thinking solely
about his fee. The doctor who is in
love with his patients Is the one we
want when disease attacks our
loved ones. In the church it must
be the dominant note If the church
Is to succeed; members must be
friends, not only Of others in the
church but of members Of other
churches, too.
When the world Is ready to ac-
cept the proposition that there
must be friendship among the ma
tions our civilization can be pre-
served. Unless it Is accepted, our
civilization is doomed.

Among Mr.. Sontag's plans for
the future strengthening of his
department are the addition of a
forge, some foundry work, ma
chine lathe, and further work in
already established trades. In the
event of a new school building
which increased enrollments have
made more necessary all the time,
MIR Sontag feels sure that his de-
partment will receive ample room
in the new building.
MIR. Sontag wished to call atten-
ton to the fact that his department
is useful to the school in furnish
ing other departments with re-
quired objects. They have made mu-
sic stands for the music depart
ment, settings for class plays and
other projects that not only bene-
fit the school but also give the stu
dent all the required training.
And a few years ago there was
talk of throwing that department

Warns Young Men
Civil Service Commission Has
Large Register of Eligibles
On Waiting List
January IA, 1887.

Dear Editor:
Early In the winter I sent a COM
munication to the newspapers Of
the Sixth District warning young
men who Were ambitious to enter
the Railway Mail Service that the
chance for employment in that ser
vice was practically nil and that
money spent for correspondence
courses to prepare for a position in
the Railway Mail service was prac-
tically thrown away.
That statement has been chal-
lenged by representatives Of cor
respondence schools. On December
81 wrote the General Superin-
tendent Of the Railway Mail Ser
vice asking for full information as
to opportunity for employment.
Under date of january the Gen.
eral Superintendent replied as fol-
lows:
II have your letter of December
8, advising that persons in your
district are being solicited to take a
correspondence course at consider
able cost for the purpose Of quail
flying them for the Railway Mail
Service.
I'm this connection I desire to ex-
plain that an open competitive ex-
animation was held for the Rail-
way Mail Service by the Civil Ser
vice Commission last winter and
as result there Is large register
OF eligibles for every State in the
Union. These lists will not be ex-
hausted for sometime and therefore
no. additional railway postal clerk
examinations will be held by the
Commission. The Civil Service
Commission advises against such
solicitors and proposed courses Of
schooling. and at the present time
we find there are over $500 names

NOW ON STRIKE
Newly Organized Minnesota Union
Sets Forth Demands In
Ten Paragraphs

Several strikes throughout the
country are headlining the news,
with the latest labor dispute in
Minnesota, with $500 lumberjacks
on strike. This latest strike was
called by the recently organized
Minnesota Timber Workers Union,
No 2776. The strikers have made
the following demands:
1. A minimum wage of $500 per
day for 8 hours work with equal
guarantee for piece work; price of
board not to exceed $1.00, per day.
2 Shower baths and wash
houses with tubs to be supplied in
all camps.
3. Single beds, mattresses, white
sheets, pillows and slips to be fur
nished in all camps.
There shall be no discrimina-
ton against union men.
5. Porcelain dishes to be furnish
ed in all camp dining rooms.
6. Employees to be allowed to
hold their union meetings in the
dining rooms.
z Free meals shall be furnished
t. all men looking for work in the
camps.
8 Recognition of committees in
the camps, viz, grievance, safety,
sanitation and auditing commit
tees.
9 Free Sunday board for men
driving teams or caring for horses
on Sunday.
10. Recognition Of the Timber
Workers Local Union No. 2776.
II. Regular pay day to be in
camps twice a month, payable in
cash or negotiable checks.
Negotiations for settlement OF
this strike are now under way.

In talking with the Post Office
Department by telephone this
morning I find that there are 537
employed in the Railway Mail Ser
vice in the State Of Minnesota. This
number also includes those employ
ed in terminals and executive Of

register of over $500, that has two
years to run, it can readily be seen
that any money spent in preparing
for the Railway Mail Service would
bring little or no return.
