Redwood County
Gets Road Credit
Walnut Grove Citizens Erect Ar

The boys at Walnut Grove
have recently given the Lyon
County laggards a reprimand Of
the neatest sort and one which
they, in the Gazette's opinion,
deserve. At the county line be-
tween Redwood and Lyon Coun-
ties, where the National High
way slips into it's state of grav-
eled perfection won by Redwood
County's energy, the Walnut
Grove citizens have erected a
sign, painted in the national col
ors and bearing the name Red

where he who runs-or speeds
may read. Inasmuch as the
motorist goes bump @to ungrav-

stays there all through the Coun-
ty--and the Tracy speeders are

just that the motoring public
should know just to whom it is
indebted for the splendid stretch
of road which is such a credit

side of the county particularly

Leader Store To
Make Alterations
Length of Building to Be In
creased to Ninety Feet; New
Front Put In
STOCK ALSO ENLARGED
Business of Past Year Shows
Store Must Have Larger Quar-
terS; Stock Increased

The Leader Store, under the
ownership and management of
Nelson and Bissonette, has en-
TREY oltgrown it's present quar-
tiers and the work of altering
all, charging the building has
already started. The excavation
for a twenty-five foot extension
in the rear has been made and
this VIII give a length of ninety
feet. The width of the build
ing will remain as it is at pres
ent. aMl
Another marked change in
the building will be in the large
show windows, eight foot deep,
across the front Of the build
ing. The entrance will also be
changed from the present dou-
bic doors to a single door which
will give more room on the win
dOwS on each side.
The building will be well light
ed also from the tier of windows
across the rear. There will be
a glass fitting room and altera-
ton department and a small
room devoted to toilet and rest
room purposes. The stock and
sample rooms will be in the
basement, entered by a convent
emily arranged stairway.
The finishings and fixtures will
be of oak, the same wood also
used in the floor. Electric light
fixtures of beautiful design will
be used in the store and in the
show windows, new show cases
will be installed and the entire
store equipmentb emade as mod
ern and convenient as possible.
The present stock will be made
larger and more complete, anG
it is highly probable that other
and exclusive lines of ladies' fur
nishings will be added to those
already handled.
The firm of Nelson and Bis
sonette has occupied it's present
quarters only since August 1915,
and the growth Of business has
been most gratifying as well as
distinctly comlimentary to the
proprietors. Mrs. A. B. Winter
will continue in charge Of the
alteration department which she
, has handled so efficiently since
the firm started business in Red
wood Falls. Mrs. Winter has
also given much assistance in
the sales department, and is to
be credited with much of the
stores popularity and success.
The millinery stock Of Mrs.
Cora D. Fox will be moved about
August l into the building now
occupied by The College Inn,
Mrs. Fox having purchased this
building a few weeks ago.

Grade From Bridge
Is to be improved
Delegation Waits on Redwood
County Commissioners and
Relief Promised

A delegation of about a dozen
Sherman township farmers and
a half dozen Franklin business
men waited on the commission
ers of Redwood county and were
given a hearing Tuesday after
noon at which they petitioned
the board for relief in the road
situation on the valley from
Franklin river bridge to Wa
basha Creek bridge.
During the high water this
season the grade between the
two bridges has been impossible
at times. When the river over
flows a current cut across the
bottoms between the bridges and
at one time last spring held up
traffic for several weeks. Water
runs over the grade at this time
also but by careful driving one
can cross.
It was proposed to the COM
missioners that bridge of suf-
ficient capacity to take the over
flow current be constructed at a
point where the water now flows
and the grade which
is about a half mile long be
raised sufficiently to make it
rassible at all times. The expense
outside of building the bridge
would be nominal as the delega-
tons promised the commission
ers that they would gravel the
grade in first class shape with
out cost to the county. The
cost Of constructing a concrete
bridge span would also be great
Iy reduced by the fact that per-
fect concrete sand pits are To-
Gated at both ends of this stretch
Of road.
The board gave every consid-
Grafton to the delegations, even
to Immediately appointing a
committee consisting of two of
the commissioners and their
county engineer to go at once to
view the site of proposed i'm
provement. This committee ac-
conpanied by several of the
Sherman township officials i'm
mediately drove by auto to look
over the situation and, we were
informed came to the conclusion
that the grade needed fixing at
once, or as soon as it can be
worked, and that they would
take action accordingly.
The matter would be taken up
in the boards deliberations the
following day, but we have as
yet not learned Of their decision.
The commissioners of Red
wood county must be given credit
for the courteous treatment
which they gave the petitioners
in this matter and their willing
ress to investigate the matter
at once tend to show that they
vii. also give the relief which
thi:. situation so we'll merits.

DR.. Upham Visits
The Scenic City
Famous Archaeologist Getting
Material for Work on Min
neSOta Place-NameS
LIKES RAMSEY PARK
DR.. Upham Promises to Use In
fluence at State Capitol to Ac-
quire More Park Territory

DR.. Warren Upham, state
archaeologist, for many years
secretary and moving spirit of
the Minnesota Historical Soci-
ETY., is a guest in Redwood Falls,
gathering material for his forth
coming book on the place-names
of Minnesota. He expects to Sc
cure the origin and history of
the name of every township, vii
lage and geographical feature of
this county.
The first visit DR.. Upham
made to Redwood Falls was
some thirty-five years ago, when
he investigated the geological
features of this region for the
State Geological and Natural
History Survey. His published
account of these Investigations
is still the only authoritative
work on Redwood county geo.
logy, He lectured here some six
years ago on the same subject.
Like all guests in Redwood
Falls, DR.. Unham is enthusiastic
about the Ramsey State Park,
and in an interview declared his
satisfaction in the fact that so
many rare geologic features have
thus been preserved. He is a
friend of the project to extend
the park to include the ravine
to the west Of the foot of the
park, and also to include the
peculiar white clay and red paint
cliffs at the bend of the river
below the park. He likewise
favors the plan of acquiring
eighty acres in the Ramsey
creek gorge.
Redwood Falls has had few
visitors whose fame is as wide
spread as that Of this distin-
gamshed scholar. His researches
in Geology have added to the
worlds information concerning
that subject, and his discovery
of the evidences of a prehistoric
glacial lake in the region of the
Red River Of the North, his re-
view of the evidences at Little
Falls that mankind existed in
Minnesota before the last Ga
cial Epoch, and his assembling
of the evidences that Groseil-
liers and Radisson in 1655-56
with a band of Huron and Of
tawa Indians spent eighteen
months at Prairie Island near
Red Wing, and were thus the
first white men in Minnesota,
have increased the sum-total OF
human knowledge.
Monday evening, w. G. Cold
took DR.. Upham through the
park and to other points of in
terest in this vicinity.
