from it can be had complete birds
eye view of the encampment grounds.
Across the falls and along these bluffs
is still more room for tents, and the
formation will be great treat to those
in search of beautiful and wild scenic
effects. An immence natural audi
torium has been completed just back
of the homestead of Capt. E. M.
Brooks, located under the shade huge
trees. At nearly the base of the hill
speakers stand has been erected,
from which spot the voice of the most
feeble speaker can be plainly heard by
the listeners above. To the left of the
speakers stand is the permanent band
stand, from which place the different
musical organizations, bands, drum
corps, and martial organizations will
send forth their music. Whether the
electric light plant will be ready by
that time is a question, hence the
lighting of the grounds by electricity
is uncertain at the present writing.

full Encampment Ever Held by
the Division

The seventh annual encampment of
the Second Division of the South
western Minnesota G.. A. r. will be
held at Redwood Falls next Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. All ar
rangements have been practically con-
cluded, and if the weather permits the
encampment will undoubtedly be one
of the most successful affairs of the
kind ever held in the State. The various
committees have been working with
all the possible energy to complete
the arrangements, and before next
Tuesday evening everything will be in
readiness for the old soldiers, their
wives and children, to move on to
Redwood Falls, and take the city
without even firing rifle or cannon.
The city will be prepared to capitulate
on Witnessing the first National flag.

committee in charge of the encamp-
ment have made arrangements to have
one or more men at the fair barns day

horses and wagons. Hay will be
furnished free of charge, and the old
soldier who comes with team will

as it has never had before. The

will be floating from residences, busi-

PRIVILEGES.
There will be a frst-class eating
house located right on the grounds.
Just who will operate it is not known,
and there is bare possibility of the
general committee operating it them
selves in the interest of the encamp-
ment. The W. C. T. U. has made ap-
plication, as have two or three other
parties, but the committee is of the
opinion that the bids are not high
enough. Lemonade, pop corn and
peanut privileges, as we'll as other at
fractions on the grounds will be
awarded this week.
LIGHTING.
Mr.. Burmeister of the electric light
system states that the plant will be in
operation next Wednesday, and that
the lights will probably be turned on
for the first time the night before.
The contracting crew have completed
the entire circuit of the city lighting
system, and are now busily engaged
in connecting all business houses that
have been wired.

Mr.. Roosevelt also avails himself of
the opportunity to say that it is the
policy of the department where men
are equally good, to retain the veterans
in case it is necessary to make a dis
charge. The legal rights of the We
Grams have not only been carefully
preserved by the navy department, bur
in its labor regulations it has gore
very far beyond what the law requires
in giving preference to veterans, hay
ing, indeed, gone to the very verge of
the line which divides inefficiency from
efficiency in the effort to do all that is
possible for the soldiers and sailors Of
the late war. In appointments from
the list the veterans are given an abso-
lutte preference. and when discharged,
if they have behaved well-even though
less we'll than others-they are still
given preference. In consequence the

the part of the head of the bureau or
division to the department orders

do inefficient work shall invariably be

efficiency of a mans work. To intro

speedily produce the most damaging
effect upon the department, and would
