The colored singers made their
first appearance on the streets
Wednesday morning, President
Tyson using them to work up pre-
liminary crowd for the fair, and
their songs were loudly applauded.

Redwood Falls at the big celebra-

A lull invariably follows storm,
and railroad companies experience
that unpleasant sensation in pas
senger traffic. State fair week
found all of the railroads running
into ST. Paul and Minneapolis SIM
ply taxed to the utmost in handling
the crowds, while last week the
traffic was as light as the company
officers wished to imagine. The
Minneapolis.& St. Louis Thursday
nights train ran out OF Minneapolis
with only 80 passengers, and after
leaving the lake district the train
carried only 43. At Redwood there

the] western people visiting the
county fair boarded it for the trip
home.

nesota is to receive the maximum
salary of $720 a year. Orders to
this effect were issued a few days
ago from the Office of the fourth as
sistant postmaster general in Wash
ington. There are in Minnesota
about ], 600 rural mail carriers, and
of this number about $50 have for
some time been receiving the maxi
mum salary, SO that the number
affected by the order received Sat-
urday is $50. The men up to the
present time have been receiving
from 1912 to 1854 year. AS the
rural mail carriers are among the
poorest paid employees in the post

in salary comes not altogether un-

this direction have for long time
been in progress at Washington.
The notices of the increase in pay
will be forwarded Immediately to
all postmasters who have charge of
rural routes, and the change, it is
understood, will take effect imme-
diately.
