Added Treatment For
Highway 28Neat Yea,
Inquiry As To Light Bitumin-
GUS Coat Brought Explanation
From Highway Department

Residents of the community near
Westport and along Highway %
west Of town, were Of the opinion
that the bituminous treatment plac-
ed this year between Westport and
Sank Centre was too light. In
quiry by the Community Club
brought the following letter from
the Highway Department which
thoroughly explains the situation:
June 81, 1889
Mr.. d. B. Caughren, Pres,
Sank Centre Community Club,
Sank Centre, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of
June 18th regarding Trunk
Highway No. %, Sank Centre
West, wish to explain that the
bituminous treatment being
placed this season will be suf-
ficient for one year or more
except where there are weak
spots in the sub-grade and at
such locations additional thick
ness of a bituminous mat would
not be Of any help. A light
treatment is being placed this
year. It is the intention of Mr..
r. D. Jorgens, Maintenance En-
gineer, at st. Cloud, to do what
ever additional work is neces-
sary next season.
We have found it advisable
on construction Jobs to applv
a light treatment the first year
then repair the weak spots as
necessary and place additional
mat.
I trust this explains the sit
uation you inquire Of.
Yours very truly,
Dept. of Highways
A. w. Moulster
District Engineer.

Program Has
Record
Top Attendance
Indicated For Three
Year High
FINE PROGRAM
Total Attendance
For Week Reached
1900 Participants

In spite of rain and cold weather
that has hampered full use of the
active program planned, the Sank
Centre Community Recreational
Program moved along at a rapid
clip, in it's second week had moved
to a new weekly high, and the
indication is for the top attendance
record in the three years Of the
program, E. D. Harvey, director in
making a report Of the second
week said Monday.
According to records, compil-
ed by Mr.. Harvey from the
other leaders Of the activities,
total attendance record for
the week stretched near to 1900
participants. The attendance
is far and away above any 9TH
er single week In the previous
two years Of the activity, he
said. About $50 of the total
were under swimming super
vision; $50 were under super
vision In a host of other activ-
tiles.
With the program scarcely I'M
derway, directors and supervisors
are looking forward to near 20O0-
attendance week when warm
weather boosts swimming totals as
well as other activities. Only one
day in the week, last Friday, reach
ed $50 in swimming, Harvey said,
and pointed out that that Is much
lower than the warm days Of July
bring. Swimming counts are taken
only at a given time with a quick
estimate of those in the water at
that period.
Described as a most opportune
course for Minnesota youth, in the
face of mounting drownings each
year, is the Junior and Senior Life
Saving courses. With more than
80 registered for the courses, only
20 have participated throughout the
week, about a dozen individuals
Mr.. Harvey was anxiously pointing
to the obvious benefits Of such a
program. Each student may take
fifteen hours training, and his tests
from Mr.. Harvey himself who was
certified by the Red Cross as in
structor. Lessons are so arranged
that there are makeup periods in

June Tops 6-Year
PrecipitationMark
June Brought 7.O1
Inches of Rain To
Sank Centre Community

June today had topped any
other June for rainfall in
good many years when LIS
inches fell Tuesday afternoon
and during the night. The
months total to date is SIG
inches, higher by nearly three
inches than any other June
since 1884
With an outlook for continued
wet weather for another week OF
ten days, June-with 7.01 inches
in Sank Centre and $40 inches in
West Union-was topping six-yeaI
mark for the month in precipitation
in almost tri-weekly showers that
delayed haying, attached a brighter
outlook to the crop for this year
and filled already Drumming sloughs
and pastures. Measurements are
from the gauges Of Henry Rydholm
in Sank Centre and FIR. Henry Ret

Despite the fact that June had
already topped any other June In
the last six years-and perhaps ev.
en- beyond that-with only '35 run
ming close, farmers reported mot
too much rain"
Sunday, when the months
biggest fall dumped 1.86 inches
over this community, farmers
reported stands Of grain knock
ed down that early this week
were coming back rapidly. In
West Union the same day
brought 81 inches.
Most serious aspect Of the almost
continuous rains Is the absence OF
good haying weather. With tons OF
hay. downed in the fields or ready
to be cut, farmers were playing
catch-as-catch-can with the weather
getting it into lofts or stacks
More serious, some believed, than
the actual loss of hay because OF
the quantities in the community
are the delays that will run the
having season dangerously into the
early grain harvest.
In the meantime crops were snap
ing up to a new peak, it was re.
ported. Delayed in seeding and
warm weather coming late, the croI
outlook was termed by some the
best in twenty years." One put II
this way: "Only a soaring south

the crop now with all this rain
