Propose Fish
Hatchery For
Sank Centre
Federal Representative
Investigated Possibilities
of River Bottom
LOCALITIES INTERESTED
Planned For Propa-
cation of Crappies-
Need Shallow Pools

At the suggestion of Carl Fisch-
err, Ben Dubois, of this city,
while in st. Paul recently, called
on Mr.. Winslow, Commissioner of
Fish and Game, seeking informa-
ton as to the location of Federal
fish hatchery in Sank Centre. He
was advised that the location of a
fish hatchery depends entirely on
the feasibility Of a site.
After Mr.. Winslow gave an ex-
PLANTATION Of the departments de-
mands concerning location, Mr.. Du-
Bots stated that he thought the riv-
err bottom, below the dam here,
would meet the requirements de-
manded for the propagation Of fish.
This Federal fish hatchery Is to
be erected for the propagation of
crappies, and with the large num-
Der Of such fish in Sank Lake, 1t
Is assumed that this would be an
ideal location.
Shallow pools are necessary for
propagation of crappies, as in the
fall these pools must be drained, so
that freezing will kill all parasites
which may effect the water. 1t is
generally agreed that the bottom
land would be ideal from that
standpoint.

Wind Did
Damage To
Buildings
Silo, Machine Shed
And Granary
Damaged Monday Eve.
LARGE HAIL STONES
Diameter of Hail
Stone Measured
At 31a Inches in City

"A storm which did considerable
damage in various communities
Monday evening, threatened with
hail Of extra large proportions in
this city. The hail fell intermittent
ly and only small amount of rain
came with it here.
Attention was called to the hail
only because of it's extreme size,
many of the stones being the size
Of hens eggs. r. j. Malloy and
Med Marks, who reside on Pine
Street, picked up one of the stones
and found that 1t measured 3k
inches in diameter. It was perfect
ly round and was one solid piece
Of frozen rain, not an aggregate of
several small pieces of hail.
A freak bit of wind that dipped
low, as the storm threatened, break
ing temperatures that had scared
high throughout the day, singled
out a lone farm near this city, and
topping buildings. This farm, 10
Gated about two miles south of
Sank Centre, is where Mr.. and Mrs.
Ole Halverson reside.
There the wind caved in a silo,
laid low the machine shed, strip
ped siding from the granary, rip
ped shingles from the buildings
roofs, shook plaster from the house
as it buffeted buildings about.
The wind was going over high,
Mr.. Halverson said Tuesday morn
ing, as the storm passed over. Sud-
denly 1t dipped lower and swayed
the buildings. Mrs. Halverson,
alone at the time on the farm, was
in the barn doing chores. Barn
doors were jammed, she said, in the
swaying of the building. One set
Of doors could not be closed, and
the back doors open could not be
budged. She believed the barn was
kept erect by the weight of hay
and straw inside.
No further reported damage was
found in this section. Apparently
the freak wind raised again after
leaving the Halverson farm. Hail
threatened a pummeling accompan-
iment to the rumbling of thunder
but fell only intermittenly. Hard
rains drove in on the wind but were
Of short duration.

$4,000 Square
Yards TnYmut
OmGUSheets
Work Commenced Mon
day Will Require About
2400 Tons of Gravel

$4,000 square yards of Sank Cen
ire streets-an estimated twenty
to twenty-five blocks-are under
contract for tar mat resurfacing
begun this week, c. L. Vader, rep
resentative Of contractors Ash
worth-Hawkinson, Min polls,
said.
Trucks began moving gravel for
the tar mat to the streets designat-
ed early this week. First Of the
streets to receive the mixing" pro-
cess was Third Street with the tar
sprayer moving in on that block
Tuesday, Mr.. Vader said. Prelimi-
nary work on the street was COM
pleted last week with sidewalk
crossings removed and streets grad
ed down to hard surface.
24OO tons of gravel will go into
the job, he said. The material
represents 1900 cubic yards. With
that will be mixed more than 49,
600 gallons Of tar. The mat laid
over the street will measure an inch
and one-hak in thickness, he point
ed out.
The process itself is one Of mix
ing tar and the gravel. Gravel is
spread over the area to be tarred.
then tar is sprayed on the gravel
and Is thoroughly mixed. Require
ment of the sub-surface Is that 1t
be hard, free from holes, and ex-
cessive loose material, Mr.. Vader
pointed out. All holes in the street
are patched. On the subs surface,
a prime coating is necessary so that
the tar mat adheres to the street.
Without such a coating, the tar
mat, he said, could be lifted from
the street like a pancake"
A five-ton roller completes the
job of packing the tar mat mixture
into a hard-surfaced highway. A
crew Of four men, representing the
contractors, are on the local hob.
Other labor as needed will be fill
ed from the local supply, Mr.. vad-
err said.
