pect to leave Redwood Falls about
April 18th for an extended trip thru
the west, expecting to go as far as
the Pacific coast. They will touch
at Spokane, North Yakima and 9TH
er points before returning, and will

If you have any business to trans
act in St. Paul or Minneapolis here
after you will have to count upon
wasting two days and two nights.
If you don't like it register kick
with L. F. Day, general manager of
the St. Louis, at Minneapolis, and
tell him that if he can't do any bet
ter to give US at least the early
morning and late evening trains in
place Of the snail-pace daylight ser
vice. Get busy and kick.
