Local Committee Men
Inspect Bed At
Ottertail Lake
LARGE PROJECT
Planned AS Part of
Program To Straighten
Sank River

Investigating the possibilities of
a pike rearing bed as a part of a
WPA project to straighten Sank
River below the dam and to beau
tify the surrounding city property,
as well as improvement of the road
to the cemeteries, Mayor s. G..
Schwarbauer, Sigurd Holme, Jos.
Schoenhoff and Ed L. Rattle made
trip to Ottertail Lake Monday
afternoon. Mr.. sdolme and Ed
Rattle are members of the Com.
munity Club committee appointed
to gather data concerning pike
rearing beds.
Although the information most
desired was not Forthcoming on this
trip, the local men were impressed
with the efforts Of three Sports
mems organizations in the vicinity
Of Ottertail Lake to raise pike
fingerlings. The problem at Otter
tail Lake is not the same as 1t
would be here, for there it is neces-
sary to pump fresh water into the
pond.
"A part VI Tic FlVcT, d dc1u CAO,
which flows along the banks of
Otterail Lake, was used for the
rearing bed. The river being
higher than the lake, it was neces-
sary to build a pump house and
place a pump there for the pur-
pose of keeping the water fresh.
This would not be necessary in
the local project as fresh water
could be secured from the lake
which is much higher than the pro
posed rearing bed would be.
As we see it, this project will
not be of great expense to the
community, neither will it raise
the taxes much, If any. It Is true
sponsor share in this project is
necessary, but, If this project is
not accepted it will probably be
necessary to sponsor something
else. The greatest amount of good
for the entire community should
be considered in this matter.

c., at 1 p. m, on August 6, 1910.
If acceptable proposals are received
at that time the construction con-
tract should be awarded shortly
thereafter.
The new building was designed
in the Office of the Supervising
Architect Of the Public Buildings
Administration for the Post Office
Department.
The following description is based
on the architectural drawings and
specifications for the construction
of the building:
A design reminiscent of Colonial
architecture has been chosen for
the Sank Centre, Minnesota, Post
Office, to be erected on the south
west corner of Main and Fourth
Streets. Consisting Of a ground
floor and one story, the building
will be sixty feet across the front,
and will have depth of fifty-sev-
en- feet. It will be of one story
construction.

MYSTERY SUITCASE
is lawful LETDOWN"-

"A mysterious black suitcase
the type that from detective
thrillers conjures up awful Wis
ions of hiding broken bodies of
intricate time bombs-was aban-
doned early Monday morning
just in back of the A & p store.
Discovered first by workers on
the sewer project in the alley,
the case was moved out Of the
path, placed under a stairway.
Passersby gaped at the case all
morning, curious, wonderingly.
Everyone laughed at the sug-
gestion that it might hide a
body or a bomb but-no one
would venture to open it. Cur
ious, as was the whole group,
manager Roland Bentley sum-
moned police chief Frank
Schlichte. When he opened the
case it was found to contain:
one bicycle lamp, some old
clothes, some new underwear,
one pair Of new loud pajamas,
one cooke" bottle. Police con-
fiscated the case and its con-
tents.

Postmaster's office, quarters for

Federal buildings for the Post

agencies of government are design
ed and constructed by the Public
Buildings Administration. 1890
such projects have been initiated
and completed since 1888.
An approximate estimate Of the
size of the new postoffice building
may be obtained through compari-
son with the Bryant Library build
ing. The library is approximately
70 feet across the front and the
depth of the building is "a feet

will be sixty feet across the front,
