Secretary Wilson Wants to

Somebody seems to be getting a

it is the middleman or transporta-

bis due, Uncle James Wilson intends
the farmer shall receive, and the
housewife in the city is to receive
the benefit Of the difference.

TYSON AT WORK
ON PARK ROADS
Superintendent Of The Ramsey
Park Actively Engaged
Making Place Accessible
He CALLS FOR SUGGESTIONS.
Wants Ideas From Public
Iverson Says Its Up to
Tyson and Citizens

Joseph Tyson, superintendent of
the Ramsey State Park is actively
engaged constructing the roads
which will make the pleasure resort
accessible to the people Of Redwood
and vicinity.
Already he has planned and had
partly constructed one road that
gives as beautiful view Of the
Redwood, Ramsey and Minnesota
valleys as is to be had from any
height in this part of the county.
The road winds around on top of the
bluff and the trees haye been re-
moved giving the visitor a chance
to see the panoramic view afforded
by the valleys. This drive also fur
nishes most attractive view of
Redwood Falls and it is evident the
road was planned with considerable
skill.
Iverson Writes Tyson
Others are now in course of con-
struction. On this matter State
Auditor S. q. Iverson writes Mr..
Tyson as follows:
My dear Tyson: | wired you a
little while ago that Mr.. Nussbaum-
er would reach there tomorrow
about noon. He will take all the
time necessary to do the work you
have for him. | am sorry | cannot
get away at this time. Have been
iaway SO much this month that |
could not possibly spare the time
now but | shall give myself the
pleasure of running down there to
look over the property and to assist
in whatever way can just as soon,
as can get away. Remember that
while the park is formally in my
care, yet want it understood that
it is in reality in the charge of your
self and the people of Redwood Falls.
Your wishes shall prevail in all res
poets. With kindest regards, | am.
Yours truly, S. G. Iverson, state
auditor"
Wants Citizens To Help
With reference to the roads Mr..
Tyson makes the following state
ment: 1.-The above letter explains
itself and | ask that the people of
Redwood Falls assist me in laying
out the roads through the various
parts of the park which is the work
we are now doing. This is of vital
importance and it is absolutely nee
essary to the future Development
and beauty of the park that the
roads are located right. Nature
has done great deal for us in this
!, tract of land. Now let US do our
part right and Ramsey park will be
the most beautiful park in the state.
: Don't be bashful; come along with
your suggestions. They will be
kindly received and will get due con-
sideration. Joseph Tyson, superin.

MAJOR POWELL

After Being q Resident Here
for Forty-four Years He
Makes Change.
MAsOhs GIVE HIM A RECEPTION
Every Member Expresses Re-
Sret at His Departure He
Tells Of Early Times.
MAsOhS GIVE HIM A RECEPTION

Major M. E. Powell. for nearly
half century a prominent figure
in the. life Of Redwood Falls and
county, has severed the ties and will
soon return to New York state
where he will makeh his future home.
The feeling Of practically the en-
tire community was voiced at the
meeting of the masonic order We'd
nesday night when every member
present expressed his regret at the
departure of the major.
True to Antiquity Lodge.
In turn Mr.. Powell told Of the
effort it cost him to sever the ties
of lifetime and go into new sur
roundings but said the move was
made inevitable by conditions over
which he had no control. He said:
"As one of the last Lying charter
members of Antiquity Lodge, No.
81, / shall always entertain for this
lodge a feeling of the sincerest
friendship and it is my intention
now to remain member Of this
lodge as long as live. When re-
turn occasionally to visit you, as |
expect to do, | shall come to this
room to greet my oldest friends in
the warmest manner.
Watched Growth of the Order.
I have seen a great many nasons
raised in this lodge. | have seen
the lodge itself grow from a mere
handful. meeting on snow bank,
to one Of the most powerful lodges
in the state | hope and belieye
that the younger men coming n
will cherish the ideals of the insti
tuition and carry forward in pleas
anter surroundings the noble pur
poses Of the order so that we who
toiled in the pioneer days will moi
have labored in vain.''
Each Member Expressed Regret
| Joseph Tyson was first to attemp
to express the regret of the lodge
at the departure of the Major ant
then each of the members in turf
was called upon, and each had som'
Masonic recollection which was con
nected with the Major. DR.. T. E
Finn said he had always thought O
"Uncle Powell as personifying ma
sonry," and nearly everyone told O
his association with the major dur
ing the first days of his coming t
Redwood.

Ten Tons Of Pears Off Less Than Acre

Ten tons and 800 pounds of Bart
lett pears from less than an acre
was the record made this year by
G. W. Vaughn, whose ranch is To-
Gated in Fruitvale, near the Naches
gap. He sold the crop early and
received $50 per ton. total of $40.
He also harvested 583 boxes Of
peaches of extra size and quality
from filters in his apple orchard.
Mr.. Vaughn was formerly resi-
dent of Minnesota. where he was in
business. This is his second year
as fruit rancher. and the results
in this. an off year, convince him
that it is worth while. although he
was somewhat doubtful earlier in

Religion Forward Movement
Occupies Attention of
Workers on Monday.

The Men and Religion forward
movement was thoroughly explained
to the men of this city and vicinity
at the meetings held at the Chris
tian church Sunday and at the
Methodist church yesterday.
Four experts in the work from
the city were present to address the
gathering and tell exactly the pur-
pose of the movement. Those who
spoke were: j. O. Boswell. dean of
the Northwestern Bible school,
Minneapolis; Attorney C. E. Keyes,
Of Minneapolis. who spoke Of the
mission work; L. G. Halbert of
Drummond Hall, Minneapolis. who
told Of the work to be done among

Mr.. Halbert appeared in place of
M. J. Wiley, who was unable to be
present.
The Sunday meetings, addressed
by DR. Boswell, were well attended
| in spite of the bad weather and
considerable enthusiasm was stirred
by the speaker.
The Monday meetings, which
were presided over by H. j. Beber-
meyer, district superintendent, were
not we'll attended owing to the
weather, which kept the delegates
from the neighboring towns and

MEN
ARE CONFIDENT
Claim Everything for Their
Candidate But The Con-
vention is Not Here.
HUGHES MAY BE COMPROMISE.
CONGRESSMAN Are Returning
Early to Washin&ton-Get
Ready for Long Session.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Members
of Congress are arriving in Wash
ington unusually early this year.
Already full quorum of both
branches of that body is on hand
and an unofficial" session is being
held daily.
The senators and representatives
are engaged in political stock TAX
ing, which, like that in mercantile
houses, must be done before the
busy season begins.
Something Doing All the Time.
Legislation and political coups are,
being planned for launching imme-
diately upon the converting of Con-
gress in December, and from then
until next June, when the scene OF
activity will shift temporarily to the
cities in which the nominating con-
ventions are to be held, there will
be something important put on the
political griddle in Washington ev-
cry week.
Once More The Tariff.
With the session only month off.
Congressman are beginning to bring
the tariff to the front once more.
The ways and means committee OF
the House of Representatives, with
a democratic majority, has been
working all summer collecting data
for tariff revision, and the wool.
steel, and sugar schedules will prob
ably be considered in the light of
the additional information on hand.
President Taft is expected to stick
by his resolution not to consider
any tariff measure until the tariff
board has presented its findings.
LaFollette People Confident.
Political Washington is watching
with interest the Presidents in
vasion of the ''enemy's country
Wisconsin, the home of senator La
Toilette, who is to be his opponent,
it appears, for the Republican pres
idential nomination in 1912.
The LaFollette publicity bureau
located in this city is sending out ex-
travagant predictions as to the
strength of their candidate and the
weakness of the administration. The
test of the Presidents strength in
his, at present, only formidable COM
petitor's territory. is likely to have
far-reaching results.
Hughes Is Now Suggested.
Within the last few days there
has been revival of the boom of
Ex-Governor Hughes of New York,
now United States Supreme Court
Justice, and he has been suggested
as a compromise candidate if the
Taft and LaFollelte factions con-
tinue to disagree and threaten dis
ruption to the party. Justice
Hughes, however, denies emphat-
ically that he has any intention Of
resigning his position upon the
bench in order to enter the presi-
Dental race.
Room for a Dark Horse.
The convention is eight months off
and much can happen during that
time to influence the selection OF q
candidate. Although it looks now
like Taft or LaFolIette. there is time
enough for a dark horse to de
velop before next June, and it Is
limited in Republican circles around
the Capital that one is being
groomed even now. and his sponsors
are only awaiting favorable oppor-
tunity to launch his boom.

Seamen Meet Tragic Fate While
Steamer Is Coming
Across Atlantic.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-A wild
tale of the sea, wherein iron nerves
of hardy seamen broke and grizzled
mariners wept like children. was
told when the battered French
steamer Santa Anna drew up on
Quarantine today and reported the
death of four of her sailors and the
serious injury of a number OF others.
A great wave swept the four men
overheard.

JURY WILL SOON GET
PATTERSON CASE

DENVER, Colo, Nov. zS.-In all
probability the fate OF Mrs. Gertrude
Gibson Patterson, charged with the
murder OF her husband, Will be com
mitted TO the jury before night.
Attorney Horace G. Benson, for the
state, will today call Mrs. G. A. Jones'
one of the star witnesses for the de-
fense, for the purpose of further cross
examination. Mrs. Jones testified that
she had witnessed an incident Illus
trative OF Patterson's brutal attitude
toward his wife, which is made by the
defense the justification for his kill
ing.
Attorney Hilton for the defense may
introduce two witnesses further to
corroborate the testimony of the de-
fendant and her other witnesses, but
to all intents and purposes, the testi
mony closed yesterday afternoon
when Mrs. Mary X. Patterson, moth
er of the slain husband, In simple
but emphatic manner, entered a de
nial of Gertrude Patterson's charges
of her sons brutality.
