Negotiations, which have been
underway for the purchase of four
teen acres of land to be added to
Minneopa safe park have been
brought to successful conclusion.
The land is part of a farm owned
by an Iowa man, and is very desir-
able addition to the park. The last
legislature appropriated $1,000 for the
purchase of the fourteen acres but
the owner would not sell at that price
The least money he would take was

Commercial club appropriated the
extra $3.50 to make Up the required
sum, which was paid over to State
Auditor ]. A. o. Preus yesterday.
Deal Hung Fire
The completion of the deal hung
fire for several months, owing to the
fact that mortgage was held on the
place by an insurance company that
would not give a release until the
mortgage money had been paid, and
the state auditor would not give the
ro2ey until the release was given.
The commercial club adjusted this
deadlock and the matter was salts
factorily terminated The fourteen
acres addition lies this side of Min
neope creek, and is largely a part of
the ravine. A good share is nice level
land on this side of the ravine, and
can be used for picnic grounds, Civ
ing a fine view Of the magnificent
scenery SUR ounding. The state is to
be congratulated on acquiring this
piece of property, as it rounds out
the state park, and will preserve the
best scenery of the section in the
vicinity Of the falls.
