PAUL FISHER AT REST

Our community was sadly shocked last Wednesday morning when informed that little Paul Fisher, that bright, happy and ever-singing native boy of this camp had been called beyond while 8 patient in hospital at Flat City. The cheerful lad had been ailing several days before he was removed from his fathers house in this city to Flat last Sunday by dogteam. Although delir- ious a goodly part of the time, he seemed to be convalescing until short time before his passing.
 Everybody in tho camp had kind word for little Paul. He attended the public school, and was very ambitious to attend college of some kind in the states, for which he was saving his small earnings. For months past Paul has been delivering the daily tsle. graphic bulletins to subscribers about town, and his approach was invariably manifested by his piping 6 hymn or humming a merry tune. Paul was well liked by his schoolmstes, and will be sadly missed by them.

Commissioners Agree

The Redwood county commits
sioners last week agreed to pay
three-fourths of the cost Of con-
structing a new bridge across
the Cottonwood river, if the vii
lage would pay the remaining
one-fourth. They will also pay
two-thirds of the cost of grad
ing the two miles of road north
and south through the village, if
the village pays the one-third.
The estimated cost of the bridge
and grading is $4,000, but an
other survey will be made by
the county engineer. The pro-
position of raising money for
the share to be paid by the vii
lage will probably be voted upon
at the spring election, which
comes this year on March 18th.
The old bridge is in bad condi-
tion at the present time and will
need in the neighborhood of ST.
900 worth of repairs this year.
The question as to whether
the village will repair the bridge
or build the new bridge will
probably be decided at the cleo
tion, unless the council chooses
to take action without the cleo
tion.- -Sanborn Sentinel.

Club Enjoys First
of Dinner Series
Business Men Show Enthusiasm
for 'Let's-G -Get-Acquainted"
Dinner

The Redwood Falls CONNER
cial Club held the first of it's
series of Let's-Get-Acquainted
dinners at the Armory last Fri
day evening, hundred thirty
men being served. The second
dinner will be served Thursday
evening, March Is, at six-thir-
ty o'clock.
Following the service Of the
dinner, short informal talks were
given by several of the men
present. Among those who spoke
was Wesley Thurman, superin-
tendent of public schols at
Franklin, who gave a very in
teresting and snappy talk on the
needs of close community CO.
operation and the furthering of
the spirit of fellowship for the
benefit of all.
The social hour following the
dinner was shortened because of
the preparations for basket ball
in the drill room, which caused
some noise and confusion. At
the next meeting March Is, it
is hoped there will be no other
use of the armory except by the
Commercial Club so the talk and
smoker will be enjoyed without
interruption. At this time al
so, arrangements will be made
so that all the guests may be
seated at one time, and any 9TH
er slight drawbacks of the first
dinner will be overcome. The
Club is greatly pleased with the
success and the spirit shown at
it's first meeting and everyone
present is anxious to attend the
future dinners. "
The next meeting occurs the
last day Of the Farmers Insti-
| ttute and the Club is hoping to
entertain many of those attend
| ing the institute at the dinner
that evening.

WaterpoWer Plot
Mayor of Morton, Minn., Opposes
Flood Control Bill Before
Legislature

Charges that ''big waterpow-
er interests" are secretly at
tempting to develop great wa
terpower project on the Mime
sofa river under the guise of a
drainage relief movement thru
the socalled floor control bill,
pending in the legislature, were
made Monday by Mayor Will
liam Wichman of Morton, who
is in st. Paul with a delegation
of farmers and citizens from
Minnesota river towns to oppose
the measure at a hearing at 9
a. m. Tuesday before the house
committee on drainage.
Mayor Wichman said he sees
behind the proposed legislation
a move to divert water from the
Red river basin into the Mime
sofa river. A canal will be built
between Big Stone lake and Lake
Traverse, if the bill is passed, he
predicted, and flood conditions
will be worse than ever on the
Minnesota river, which now over
flows frequently.
There is talk of building re-
servoirs to control the water, he
said, but that only strenthens
the conviction that it is a water
power development and not a
drainage relief movement.-Min-
