HELP TO BEAUTIFY RAM
SEY PARK

Ramsey Park has three new
Chinese pheasant, brought from
Slayton by Park Commissioner
Jos. Tyson. The birds are do
ing nicely in their new home;
four pheasant eggs have al
ready been founded which Mr..
Tyson expects to have Matched
and reared by domestic hen,
thereby hoping to raise some
birds not quite so timid and
wild. The first birds were fright
ened to death by the inconsid-
erateness of the people who went
to see them. These birds are
extremely nervous and timid and
all Park visitors should refrain
from doing anything to make
them in the least uncomfortable.
Flowers have also been wan
tonly destroyed within the past
few weeks and to prevent the
absolute determination of the
park flora Mr.. Tyson has been
obliged to forbid any further
molestation of flowers or shrubs.
Mr.. Tyson's ambition to get as
many animals and flowers as
possible in the park is a most
laudable one and he should be
given the assistance of every
lover of Ramsey Park.

Seven-Jltney Bus
Is Now In Service
c. E. Lamberton Puts Big Motor
Vehicle into Service of Pub
lie Thursday
DOESN'T BALK AT MUD
Carries Twenty-Five Comfort
ably; Twenty-Eight at High
Pressure

Another dream of Redwood
Falls was realized last week
when C. E. Lamberton put into
service his new motor bus, which
runs between both depots and
the city, and takes away at least
one of the inconvenience of rail
way travel in and out of Red
wood Falls.
The smaller bus, which was
put into use last winter, was not
found practicable for the needs
of the city, and Mr.. Lamberton
having become convinced that
there was a real need of a motor
bus, carefully investigated the
subject and as a result obtained
the one used here for the first
time Thursday.
The bus is mounted on a three
ton Wilcox truck, is built of steel
and seats twenty-one passengers
comfortably, although twenty
eight rode in it during it's trial
trip Wednesday. The inside
measurements are eight by sew
enteen feet. The seats are up
holstered with leather, and the
windows are fitted with water
proof curtains. On the whole it
is as comfortable a means of
transportation as any one need
desire.
The best feature of the vehicle
is that it's use is not deferred
by muddy roads. Under the
chauffeurship of John LANDER
ton, the bus made the usual trips
after the heavy rains Monday
and Monday night with apparent
ease-and any car that can
climb the North Redwood hill
after the recent deluge deserves
to be awarded the iron cross.
In the meantime "Sharkie, :"
after twenty years Of service,
stands in the barn, switching the
first fly of the season with an
I-should-worry sort of switch
and "Slim" is dreaming Of COM
ing into his own again during
the billiards of 1916. However,
there are no indications that the
bus will not be useable in all
average snow storms and be
practicable Tor year-round serv-
ice. Mr.. Lamberton is inclined
to believe it will be-and Mr..
Lamberton's judgment in motor
buses is evidently to be abso-
lutely relied upon.

Prospect of BallIl

Contributions We're Not as, Law
ish as the Promoters OF. the

At the present time it looks,
as though Redwood Falls would j
not have a ball team. This con-
dition of affair is due to the, fact
that collections failed to- reach !,
the figure which the prime, NOV
ers in this laudable affair decided !
was necessary to supportrt a )
creditable team.
1t is too bad that this; city
cannot compete on the diamond :
with the cities surrounding it, +
In fact every nearby city has, a :
good ball team and has, (, sent
challenges to meet Redwood :
Falls. Without good team these
challenges must pass unheeded,s
This surely is lamentable state
Of affairs. 's'N
However, it is not yet too late
Some clever hustling by enter.

bring out the sheckles, and the
trick is done! Where there is; a
will there is way, but it re-
quires little ambition.

getting contributions to I the,
amount Of nearly S9O0.00.o AS

In looking over the list of cons
tributions it is encouraging, to
note the number of young men,

Like patriots they stand forth !
for outdoor athletics, for, the
honor of Redwood Falls, and for
the advertising that accruesa to-
the city through having a smart

blazon their names in the, hall
Of fame, because they stand
squarely for progressiveness. for,

and for strenuosity.
Who is the man of the, hour
to come forth and make this;

wanted is generous hearts and,
willing workers to take the, subj
