At a meeting of the members of

the council the election Of G. w.

to succeed A. w. Bager, who is

ing of last week and decided te
recommend that the encampment be
held in this city on Tuesday, Wed.
nesda7, and Thursday, July =, q
and 3. For the purpose of carry
ing out the recommendatio a meet
ing has been called of all persons
interested for the opera house next
Friday evening.
Inasmuch as the people Of this
city expect to have a celebration on
July 4th Of this year, the proposi-
ton is to have an entire week of
festivities, taking in the celebra-
tion OF the formal opening Of the
reservoir at the same time. Mon
day can be given over to preparing
for the event. Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday can be given to the
old soldiers exclusively, together
with such street entertainment as
they are willing to place on their
program, and Friday will be given
up to a general celebration of the
National day.
The old soldiers prefer this plan.
They contend that some Of their
mum Der from other towns are al
ways desirous of returning home
to spend the 4th, and this will give
them an opportunity to do so, as
well as chance to take in a big
celebration at this point, if they de-
sire to remain.
The Burmeister dam will be COM
pleted long before that time, and
the lake will undoubtedly have been
filled prior to that date. In addi-
ton to this there will be plenty of
time to improve the grounds along
the lake shore and put boats on the
water for rental.
All interested should attend the
meeting Friday evening and make
the 1902 encampment and celebra-
tion greater success than the one
of 1900, which was pronounced the
finest ever held in southwestern
Minnesota.

WORK ON THE TOWER.
Employees Of the Chicago Bridge
Iron Co. Arrive.

John @. Terbush. construction
! foreman. and Arthur N olan and
Larry Fraser, employees, Of the
Chicago Bridge & Iron Co, of Chi
cago, arrived here last Saturday
afternoon for the purpose Of com:
mencing the work of construction
on the new steel water tower fol
this city, which, according to the
terms of the contract, was to have
been completed by Feb. 1st last:
and which failure to complete at the
time stated above, is costing the
company quite a sum monthly the
city council having decided to hold
the company for the extra expense
of continued pumping after the ex-
piration Of the date for the compile
tion Of the contract.
Mr.. Terbush employed four or
five local laborers shortly after ar
irving here and active work on the
construction Of the tower commenc-
ed Monday morning. Some Of the
material arrived several months
ago, but most of ,sit, including the
most important part, commenced
arriving Monday morning. Mr..
Terbush stated to reporter OF this
paper last Sunday that if there was
no delay in receiving all OF the ma
terial, and if weather conditions re
mained favorable he expected to
have the tower completed and ready y
for receiving water from the pump
ing station inside of the next five
weeks.
Mr.. Terbush stated that the cause
of the delay was due to the fact that
the company had other contracts,
made prior to the contract with this
city, which it had to complete, thus
intimating that the Chicago Bridge
& Iron Co. is at least four months
behind on its con tracts.
The foundation for the Redwood
Falls tower was completed last fall.
The tower itself is to be 1870 feet in
height-from the foundation stone
to the cap of the tank. The latter
is to have a capacity Of 100000 gal
Ions, and the entire structure, when
completed, is to cost very nearly
1000.

Mr.. Freeman wrote a long letter

you people any information concern

holdings here have proved more,
valuable than we expected, especi-

converted to the fact that Beaumont

and that the oil for fuel is more eco

that they are willing to, and are
