FULLER'S HARDWARE.

The active and energetic secretary
of the commercial club is the propri-
etor and owner of this mercantile es-
tablishment which he has had in sue
cessful operation for some twenty
years. The slogan or business motto
of this store is "Good Goods a suf-
ficient1y terse and practical saying to
reach even the dullest of minds and
still be full of significance. General
hardware and sporting goods make
up the bulk of the stock handled by
Mr.. Fuller. He has an exceptionally
fine line of shelf goods, heavy, and
builders hardware. His sporting
goods are the official gathering and
purchasing point for the diamond,
track, gridiron, and transient perform
ers, and the stock has at all times
been we'll received, as it is up-to-date,
we'll chosen, no lumber contained, and
with quality pre-eminent in every ar
ticle. Only the best is carried, and
sometimes Mr.. Fuller does not con-
slider even that good enough. A nice
line of enamel ware has taken espe-
cially we'll with the ladies of the
household, and proven very efficacious
about the domicile. Take slant at
your purchasing thoughts, and see if
they are directed the right way-to
Fullers. Then you'll know for GER
tainty that you have the best there is

city of the size of Park Rapids to
have an establishment co-ord!nating
so much good taste and style. We
wish the ladies we'll for they surely
deserve it.

Park Rapids, Minnesota

Have you ever been there? If not,
then the time is ripe for you to go.
You will enjoy it, and come back re-
freshed, invigorated and with the Of
flee dust, or business cares wiped
away for some time to come The
place we have in mind is the city of
Park Rapids and the country to which
it belongs. Situated on the Great
Northern Railway, approximately two
hundred miles northwest of St. Paul,
it is the gateway to the state forest
reserve just twenty-five miles north.
Nine summer resorts cluster about in
close proximity to Park Rapids, the
county seat of Hubbard County and
one of the livest, prettiest little cities
in the western hemisphere. The
southern part of Hubbard County in
which Park Rapids is located, is quite
level though strip of round and roll
ing land runs almost east and west
through the center. This southern
territory adjacent to Park Rapids is
a dark loan and sandy loan with
clay sub-soi1. The country is we'll
supplied with rural free deliveries, tel
ephones and transportation facilities.
Park Rapids has population of some
two thousand people, of German,
Swedish, Norwegian and English
mixture. There are six churches in
Park Rapids, of which the Catholic
has the largest attendance, a public
library, public hall with seating ca
pacity of six hundred, public schools
and high school. The principal oc-
cupations around Park Rapids and
which practically feed into the city
and give it it's business, are agricul-
tural pursuits and numbering. Dairy
ing, live stock, poultry, and small fruit
raising are carried on extensively.
Land can be purchased at $40 an acre
upward, according to location and i'm
provements. There are over $4,000
acres of unsold state land in Hub
bard County and much of it lies
around Park Rapids. The CONNER
cial club of this city is a particularly
live and efficient organization, and is
an incorporated body of power and
full of pushing measures. 1t has COM
mittees on good roads, railways, viii
1age improvements, new industries,
publicity and legal, market day, On
public affairs, summer resort and lake
improvement, agriculture, immigra
ton, public health, membership, and
runs the entire gamut in activities
which commercial club can normal
ly participate in with benefit to it
self and the city for which it is work
ing, not to speak of the vast deal of
good accruing to the country round
about. A. M. Way is president of this
club; c. E. Ward, vice PRESIDENT; F.
V. Fuller, secretary; J. D. Heradon,
treasurer, and S. D. Harlow, member
at large. The success which has at
tended the efforts of the commercial
club has done incalculable good in
building up Park Rapids, and making
it known far and wide what good
little city it was, and how many ad-
vantages it has in waiting here for
those who have the foresight and I'M
tiative to seek them out.

Crookston the See
City of the Red River
Valley in Minnesota

The citizens of Crookston and COM
munity, Catholic and Protestant alike,
were aware of the significance of the
elevation of priest with the energy
and zeal of Father Timothy Corbett,
when he was placed at the head of
the Crookston diocese. Crookston
was, therefore, named as the Catholic
metropolis of the Red River Valley
in the state of Minnesota, and Chris
ton beacon light in the Northwestern
section of the state. The transition
which came into the community; the
change from the old methods of agri-
culture to the more reasonable, pro-
gressive and surer form of diversified
farming, meant much to the people in
the vicinity of Crookston. Its selec-
ton as a See City at once brought
to the citizens in the state of Mime
sofa, and to the Catholics throughout
the country, a realization of it's i'm
portance; its value in the eyes of the
Catholic world. The people of
Crookston looked upon the appoint
ment of Bishop Corbett as the Bishop
of Crookston with pardonable pride,
they realized also that Crookston
would date new era of prosperity,
but they did not realize that within
five years, the energy and zeal of
Bishop of Crookston would be repre-
sented in new Cathedral, beau-
tiful specimen of Romanesque archi-
lecture, valued at $4,000. The Ca
thedral high school, which is a model
of school architecture, sanitation and
convenience, valued at $4,000; beau-
tiful academy for the education of
girls and young ladies, representing
an investment of $4,000. The value
of church property has within the
space of five years increased from ST.
600 to almost a quarter of million.
In addition to the beautiful Crooks
ton Cathedral, there is also the church
of St. Ann, a French parish organ
lied in 1883, now owning church prop
erty valued at $4,000.
The parish of St. Mary, which is
now the Cathedral parish of Crooks
ton, was organized in 1885, the men,
bers consisting mostly of the Eng
disappearing Catholics of the city,
Rev. Father Lawler, former pastor of
Fischer, Mimi, organized St. Mary's
parish and in 1886 removed his resi-
dence to Crookston. He was succeed
ed by Fathers Walsh, Wattry, Con-
molly. Valbrecht and Murphy in the
summer of 1900 Father Hufnagel,
now of Duluth, was placed in charge
of St. Mary's parish. Father Huf-
nagel was removed from Duluth in
1907. He was succeeded by Father
Seimers Father Seimers was succeed
ed by Father Wurm, the present pas
tor of the Cathedral.
St. AIMS parish was organized in
1883. There are now more than 13O
families in the parish. The new church
was erected in 1901 The church prop
erty enlarged and today it reaches
valuation of $4,000. Father Du-
fault is the pastor of St. AIMS church.
The total Catholic population of the
diocese of Crookston number $4,000,
SO priests, 81 churches with resident
pastors, Is missions with churches,
making a total number of So churches;
] parish schools, with an enrolment
of nearly thousand children, In

Especially "A number OF train loads OF
