committee composed Of w. F. Graft
G. W. Tyler and E. G. Wellin was ap-
pointed to investigate the feasibility
|.of creating an athletic park and race
track on the property next adjoin-
ing the Willmar Assembly Park to
the south. In order to make it pos
sible to finance the park property
and secure the revenue necessary ia
keep up the property for public uses,
the members Of the Park Assembly
have come to the conclusion that il
must provide for taking care Of ath--
letic gatherings, race meets and the
annual fair. AT the meeting held i'm
mediately after the last assembly it
was decided that the Park stock
holders would not henceforth become
responsible as corporation fol: The
program Of the Chautauqua. They
will be glad to lease the grounds for
this purpose or FOR any other gather
ing which may wish to use them. By
broadening the scope Of the uses the
grounds may be put to by the public.
it. is hoped that sufficient revenue
may be derived to maintain the pro-
perty. "A week ago 4 Joint meet;ne,
was held with members Of the Street
Fair committee to discuss the nro-
bability Of MERGING the fair and marx "a,
interests. It, was argued that the
Street Fair has grown to the propor-
ton where it is exceedingly difficult
to locate the different features on the
streets. The question of revenue is
a difficult one, and requires much
close figuring to be able to offer the
premiums necessary to make the
fair a continued success The diff
sfculty Of securing facilities for stock
exhibits is one reason that a fair
ground with permanent buildings
would be preferable. With q county
fair: ground more aid can be secured

distance to the Assembly Park is not

that drainage district be established

four feet wide and ten feet deep be-
tween bends in the river In order to
straighten the river and permit the
water to flow OF freely after heavy
rains. This has been subject to over
now for years, and although 1t Is rich
bottom land, it has been practically
worthless for crops because or annual

the first day Of July, as reconstructed
by the bill.
A clause in the bill lays down that
the New Year day and Leap day shall
neither be accounted days OF the
week. and shall not, except where
specially mentioned or provided for,
be held to be included In any computa-
ton Of days, but shall otherwise be
public bank holidays. The conditions
OF labor on those two days and the
remuneration therefore. under the bill.
would conform as far as possible TO
what prevails on Sundays. A hxed
date, April Is, is selected for Easter
day. "a gt "a

good mental test, with the possibility
Of few headaches in preparing de-

The ruling OF Judge Mcpherson up
holding the state railroad commission
in ordering reduction in Iowa express
rates is an important one to Iowa ship
'pers. The rate reductions ordered are
approximately IL per cent lower than
the present rates. They were to go
into effect last March, but 9 restrain,
ing order was issued by the federal
court pending a hearing on the tenn
porary injunction sought by the ex-
press companies. In disallowing this
n imnction Judge Mcpherson upheld
the right Of the railroad commission to
AK Interstate rates, one OF the cues,
tons involved in the case. He held
the question to be whether the rates
TINS established we're reasonable, and
lie placed the burden Of proof Of 1 IN
RESPONSIVENESS upon the express com.
NAMES. Judge McPrehson held that
the cnmpanies have not made, such a
showing and he thus upheld the com
mission.

THE TAFT TRIP AND PROGRAM.

Chicago Record Herald: 1t is i'm
possible to please acknowledgements
~ in politics. President Taft was crit
icised when it was thought that he
would talk nothing but politics In his
swing around the circle; he was
criticised when 1t was announced that
he had decided to include nonpolitical,
moral and general topics like legal re-
form, uniform divorce laws, peace and
arbitration; he is accused of shrinking
from or lodging insurgent and demo-
cratic ammunition, and no matter what
be does or fails to do on the great
13,OO0-mile tour he will be scolded and
lectured by some people.
Why not take rational view of the
whole matter? The president has
