Three picnic parties were scat
tered along the lake shore last We'd
nesday. One OF the parties consist
ed of young people given an outing
by Supt.i .iParkhill around the power
house, a second party was headed
by G. D. Thompson and wife,
and the third by the Stewart famil
les of Redwood Falls township, to-
gether with relatives and friends.
The latter two picnicked at the park.
The boat house is rapidly nearing
completion, and is another big i'm
provement to the lake shore, built
by private parties, without any
idea of receiving back the money
invested, the revenue coming in
from the rental of the boats and
for fares on the launches being
Immediately returned to improve
ments along the lake shore. And
in this connection it would be we'll
for the "kickers' in the city who
are engaged in "knocking' an en-
terprise put in solely for the benefit
of the city to take a rest, and recall
to their memories the published
statement that if they desire to con-
tribute to the enterprise. or in any
manner become part owners Of
the launches and boats the sub
scription books are open to them,
as we'll as to any one else who de-
sires to pay in their money. Pa
tience sometimes ceases to be a vir
tue, particularly when it is being
used for the outlay of private mon
ey for the welfare of the public, and
the men who have been enterpris-
ing enough to 90 ahead with the
improvements along the lake ought
to be the last persons against whom
word ofcensure or criticism should
be uttered.
Tax payers should take particu-
lar note of the proceedings of the
county board disqualification printed
in another column of this paper.
The board raised the valuation Of
farm lands in "a townships of the
county, and then increased the val
uation of village lots in Belview,
Morgan and Walnut Grove, and re-
duced it on lots in Lucan, Clements,
Vesta, Milroy and this city. Acre
age property in the villages of Bel
view, Lamberton, Morgan, Revere,
Sanb and Walnut Grove was
given fifty per cent. bunch up
| wards. while in this city it was re-
duced % per cent. Structures on
land in number of townships and
all of the villages received a jolt
backwards or forward from the
board, while valuations from other
| points were reduced or raised.
There were also few jOlts dealt out
out on the personal property valua-
aiOn list. The board was in session
from Monday until Thursday noon,
and it is said that its work was done
more complete this year than the
work OF any previous board. On
Thursday afternoon the members
reconvened as the board Of county
commissioners, and passed upon a
number of bills.
