soon she will be doing most of the
business and men will have to look
for jobs in the kitchens. Mr.. Pierce
introduced two or three stories, and
jocularly insisted that his friend
Judge Baldwin and himself were
growing younger every day, under
the invigorating influences OF their
environment.
To boom the county fair, President
Tyson was invited to do a little ad-
vertising for that enterprise. Mr..
T. said it had been repeatedly dem
onstrated here that fair could only
draw big crowd when it offered
them amusement attractions. Now
that the commercial club and its
business men had subscribed $oOO
for the fair, the attractions would be
the greatest ever, and the fair an
unparalleled success.
Judge Bowers was at his best in
responding to Redwood Falls, past
and present." He submitted that
Col. McPhail had shown good judg-
ment in selecting our townsite, and
that the present-day citizen was do
ing much toward improving upon it.
With forward glance, Judge B..
looked to time when all of our
transportation troubles would be
ended by the construction of north
and south electric line, over which
his friend Welch could ride to Red
wood every evening and 90 back to
business daily at his stone quarry.
Geo. WEIGH of Morton congratulate
ed the club and tossed bouquet to
Mr.. Tyson for past labors for the fair
and for improved stock at Glendale
farm. Replying to the jocular invi-
tations of previous speakers that
Welch annex himself to our city, that
gentleman admitted that if he could
not live at Morton he might be in
duced to live in Redwood Falls.
The G. & N. W. railroad was to
have been represented by M. E.
Powell (who was not present., while
J. A. Schmahl was assigned to talk
about the M. & ST. L. railroad Mr..
S. had received a telegram from a
high official to 4" hope, hope" but
asserted that he believed proper
representation of our city's need
| before the ruling stockholders in the
East would realize our hopes quick
err than aimless waiting. He believed
so, because he knew OF case where
a similar town had gained its point

A. r. A. Laudon was council for
Lake Redwood, and did ample
justice to the attractions of his fair
client. The bath-house project was
commended, as we'll as the enter
prise of the boat and park association.
The pulpit was we'll represented
by Rev. Lutz, who regretted that
ministers were not more closely
identified socially with businessmen.
1t was good thing to get together
in this way. Suppose that one Of
these banqueters should drop dead
from surfeit of good things-here
we have an undertaken to care for
his remains, a minister to preach the
funeral sermon, two editors to write
the obituary, marble cutter to set
up the monument. Here his will
could be filed for probate, with a
choice of lawyers to break it if they
could.
The hour was getting late and the
last speakers spoke briefly and to
the point. S. G.. Peterson said that
market day" meant rainy day so
far this year, but in spite of that
drawback was catching on as a per-
manent institution. Auditor Temp
kins laid down the opinion that the
club should solidly back up the city
council in it's legislation for the i'm
provement of the city, Attorney
Dolliff was hopeful over the better
understanding growing up between
farmers and merchants, and thought
the rural telephone and mail routes,
as we'll as cooperative grain and
fuel corporations, were all helping
the good work along.
