brief NOTES.

With good business firms going beg
ging for buildings it is evident that
Willmar's building boom has only be-
gun.
ttt
It is an uncommon thing to have
pasture for stock in April. Providence
is good to our farmers who are short
of feed.
go
The new state laws will no doubt
accompany our next issue to Kandi-
yohi county subscribers. There are
1874 bills passed compared to 607 two
years ago.
The new building planned to be
erected by A. c. Skoog and Hjalmar
Nyquist promises to become one Of
the finest blocks in town. It will give
Litchf1eld avenue a good boom as a
business street.
You'll travel some distance to find
a town so we'll cleaned up as Willmar
at this time Of year. Other towns are
advertising cleanup days for May.
Our lawns are now demanding the at
tentiOn of the lawn mowers. The
cherry blossoms are out in the rail-
road park.
The county fair committee looked
over the fairgrounds park last week.
111 $0
with teams and wagons to do some of
the most urgently needed filling at
the approach before the season opens.
Other minor improvements were also
decided upon. It is a pity that the
means are not at hand to complete
the filling of the low ground and give
the city an ideal athletic field. We
are confident that with the right kind
Of start made the project would not
prove as difficult as it seems. There
are fans enough at Willmar to make
this improvement if they saw fit to
so make up their minds. Then they
| would have a permanent field which
| would warrant substantial improve
| ments.
II I
Speaking of park improvement
brings the lake question to mind. It
has been suggested that good sized
suction dredge would be of immense
value to the city. With such an ap-
paratus available good wide beaches
could be made along the lake shore,
the fairgrounds could be filled and the
lake deepened at the same operation;
the dump could be repaired and made
wider; the bay back of the depot could
be cleaned up. Foot Lake is a fine
lake, but as Mayor Wellin aptly stat
ed it, "Too few people in Willmar
know It," The part of the lake in
view from the downtown district is
the worst part of the lake. The lake
should be made more of an asset to
the city than it has heretofore. Fish
ermen tell us that it is now stocked
with many varieties of fish, and more
should be placed there.
