EDITOR GAZETTE: One of the well
come weekly visitors to the Herald's
exchange table is the Redwood Ga
zette. bringing its budget of news
from the old home. 1t is eagerly
looked for and closely read as soon
as it's makes it's appearance.
| have now lived in my new home
long enough to feel at home, at
least to certain extent. This part
of the state is entirely different
from southern Minnesota, and Pm
rather inclined to favor the Park
Region" as compared with the prai-
RE. These beautiful lakes, scattered
throuout central and northern Min
nesota, well-they must be seen to
be appreciated. Boating, fishing
and hunting, these are some of the
attractions that | know will make
some of the Isaac Waltons and the
Nimrods of Redwood county wish
they were here.
Sank Centre is fine. town of
$500 located in one of the best and
most populous counties of the state.
It's business men are enterprising
and though the season thus far has
been dull-there being no spring
vet the columns of the Herald have
carried a goodly amount of adver-
Using all the time Our market
days started two months ago
cause us to groan under the weight
of advertising. Market day here is
a great success. A great many
towns in this part of the state are
adopting the plan and find it too
good thing to pass up.
The absence of competition in
business seems strange. The second
week | had the Herald, while we
were hustling to get to press on
time, in rushed the superintendent
of the public schools with hurry
up job of printing. | told him we
could not possibly get it out I'M
til after the paper was printed.
He said he must have it right
away. | was just on the point of
telling him to go to The GAZETTE
with it when l happened to think
the Herald was IT." So we hustled
a little harder and did the job for
him and got to press on time, too.
Situated as we are on the Great
Northern, one of the great trans
continental lines of railway with
five passenger trains each way daily,
one Strain a day each way on the
Cass Lake branch and one each way
daily on the Little Falls branch of
the Northern Pacific, we are in a
position to see a good many people
we know as we pass through. The
: Great Northern station is a little
over two blocks from the Herald
office and | try to make all the day
trains. ! frequently see old friends.
A fortnight ago | met d. W..
Banker. who was on the flyer en-
route to Montana to do some bust
ness. Had five minutes chat with
him. Last week Everett Cain stopped
over here a day while en- route to
his home in Bemidji after visit to
the old folks at Redwood Falls. M.
E. Lewis, formerly of Vesta, for
the past two years resident of
Menagha, a hustling little town up
on the Cass Lake branch, passes
through here often. Saw him just
the other day Gene is looking well
and is making some money where he
: is.
The second week | was here At
torney A. j. Praxel of Lamberton
was in Sank Centre to attend the
funeral of a former classmate Of his
at the state university. He was in
