Friday afternoon, when reports will
be heard from the delegation of
school officials who visited the Coka-

the associated plan under the Put

great success. Besides these reports
of the observations of the visitors
from this vicinity, High School In

have both promised to be present
and assist in throwing light on the
design and the practical working out
of the associated district plan which
it is hoped will be introduced here
at Redwood Falls, where everything
necessary but the farm plot and in
structor are already provided for.
Redwood Falls citizens should show
their interest in this meeting and

Hustling for Ramsay Park.

Redwood Falls citizens are natur-

troduced in the senate by Senator
Clague and in the House by Repre-
sentative Keefe, for Ramsey State
Park, as memorial to Minnesota's
most notable historic governor. Be-
fore the Commercial Club last even
ing, H. M. Hitchcock read splendid
paper describing the site of the pro-
posed park and its historical connec-
ton with the Governor after whom
it was named, the governor having
been instrumental in setting aside
the original Sioux Indian reservation
of which the proposed park site and
this city was once part, and having
made a river voyage by steamer to
this vicinity year or two before the
massacre which lost to the Indians
their reservation. Chairman Stems
vad was authorized to appoint a
committee to cooperate with our
representatives in the legislature in
getting the matter favorably before
the committees at the capitol, and
named Messrs. Hitchcock, Tyson and
H. A. Baldwin. Messrs. Hitchcock
and Lobdell will go down tomorrow
morning. Messrs. Tyson and Baldwin
