Sixty-two years ago

with party of six, headed by Robt.
w. Cummins, and we proceeded at
once to establish an agency for a
rallying centre, and an annuity pay
ing point for the Sioux (Dakota) In
dams. Our experiences thereafter
were almost innumerable. Many Of
them intensely thrilling.

preston to be present at your An
niversary and Home-C Coming, but dis
lance forbids.
Some day, before go hence, | ex-
pect to visit your beautiful city and
see with my own eyes what changes
God and men have made.
Sincerely,
D. STRATTON,
1852 East First Street,
Long Beach, Cal.

Ought To
Vote on City Hall
Council Acts Favorably on Plan To
Put The Sewer and Water
Across River
WILL PAINT WATER TOWER
Special Vote on City Hall Bonds To
Be Made at Polling Places at
Primary Election

The City Council held its regular
monthly meeting at the municipal
court rooms last evening, at which
time the regular business, relative to
the management of the city was dis
posed Of
The Council has decided to paint
the water tower Immediately and
painters will be put to work there at
once. Favorable action was also
taken on the putting of water mains
and sewer in that section of the city
Icing across the river. 1t is prob
able that this work will also be COM
menced soon in the hope of complet-
ing it before the close of the season.
Next Tuesday the voters of Red
wood Falls will be given an oppor-
tunity TO vote on the bonds for the
erection of a municipal building, the
voting to be done by special ballot
at the regular polling places for the
primary election.
There is apparently very little OPP
position to the proposition, all pro-
gressive citizens feeling that the time
has arrived when it is absolutely es-
sential that Redwood Falls have such
ia building. 1t is the duty of every
one having the interests of the city
at heart to vote on the question next
Tuesday.

Redwood County Club Endorses Ac-
ton of Mayor Stensyad In Calling
Attention to Road Laws
Funds of Club Will Be Spent in Work
on Bad Bit of Highway In
stead of Dragging

At recent meeting of the Red
wood County Auto Club, the MEM
bers heartily endorsed the action Of
Mayor Stensvad, in calling attention
of all drivers of cars and motor We
hicles to the section Of the laws deal
ing directly with the rules of the
road. In view of recent accidents
due largely to lack of attention to
these laws on keeping to the right
side of the street, proper care at
the turning of corners, etc., the Club
feels that all drivers should strict
ly observe these rules, and al those
negligent in this respect should be
taught the requirements made by the
rules.
Because of the dragging fund"
provided under the Dunn Road Law
now in effect, the Club decided to re-
serve the fund, which it usually ex-
ponds in this work and use it later
in the season in improving Tyson
Hill. This hill is a serious obstacle
to free travel between Redwood Falls
and Morton, and the Auto Club will
cooperate with the County Board in
the attempt to make it more access
able. A "Good Roads Day" will be
appointed for an early date and the
members of the Club will then ex-
pend their time, energy and money
on this stretch of road.

BLAME 1T!

| had a friend once who was =
a pessimist. l met him one
day coming out of saloon
that is, he was coming out.
He had been in buying some
lining for his underclothes and
was feeling gloomy. He said:
His boss went dead and his
mule went lame,
Then he lost six cows on
poker game;
A hurricane came on sum-
mer day
And blew the house where he
lived away;
An earthquake came when that
was gone
And swallowed the land that
the house stood on;
Then the tax-collector he came
round
And charged him up with the
hole in the ground"

Will not Weaken Presidents influences

That the change in point of view of the
nation since August must be of advan-
tage to the party in power is generally
admitted. Lines of attack on the adj
mInistration's record, which had been
carefully opened up, are now completely
blocked. Certain liabilities OF the Presi-
dent are now revealed as assets. A gibe
at "watchful waiting" today would be
more likely to make Democratic votes
than Republican or Progressive votes.
All criticism of the foreign policy OF the
administration is suspended. Mr.. Roose-
welt has publicly announced an abandon
ment OF his assault on the President
along that line.
The sufficient answer to criticism of the
foreign policy of the United States Gov
eminent is that the United States is At
peace with all the world. Americans
prefer the answer of the ''inexperienced,,
Bryan to the japanese ambassador.
There can be no last word between
iriends,' TO the experienced Won Beth
mann-Hollweg's professional sheer at a
scrap OF paper The nation must take
pride in the scrupulous Observance of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, in the matter of
the canal tolls, now that great Eu-
ropean power has made mockery of the
treaty neutralizing Belgium. One can no
longer sheer at amateur dplomatists.,,ss
in view OF Gerard's splendid service at
Berlin and Whtlock's mastery rescue of
unfortifed Brussels from the German guns.
The country is not likely in the coming
elections to weaken seriously the Presi
dents influence either At home or abroad.
lie must remain President of the United
states throughout the war period, and in
him rest the worlds best hopes of peace

he may speak at the oDportune moment
with such prestige that the powers in
