"Red Rock, n. "" said n man who
spent some time there. Isn't much Of
place. but there Is something inter-
estlng about 1t that fancy all the
world doesn't know. The present name
is not the one Ii hns always borne, and
what It's other name was don't know.
Whatever II was the people did not
like II and concluded they would
change It. There was no particular
reason why they should call II Red
Rock. but that was determined upon,
and so Red Rock II became.
Then In the course of time strangers
Of an inOulrlng turn of mind began TO
ask why the place had such a name.
and as no reason could be given new
comers to the neighborhood began to
want a name that meant something.
THIS insistence grew 80 strong that the
old residents began TO look around for
a reason for the name OF their place.
and ut last they found huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead of red. and the pro-
gressists Insisted that that would not
do. At last the old timers hit upon n
new plan, and, procuring barrel Of red
paint, they painted the big rock red.
Red Rock indeed It was now. and not
only was all opposition TO the name
overcome, but tho painting of the rock
every spring has become an annual
festival, and the people celebrate 1t
with big picnic and general celebra-
tlon.
