The matter of encouraging the ac-
quirement for perpetual public use
suitable camp grounds on all Of the
beautiful lakes Of our county was
an interesting topic brought out by
Mr.. ]. w. Kent. This is a subject of
the greatest Importance for the fu-
ture for our county and city, for with
our wonderful lakes, unexcelled for
beauty and located at nearest point
to the great Southwest, we should
provide facilities to secure a large
share of the tourists who come to
Minnesota in increasing numbers ev-
cry year. & 49, ? X. +..:.5t :,.s5
At the close Mayor Lawson re
quested as personal privilege a
chance to address the meeting on the
subject Of the hasty action taken by
the business men s meeting and which
has undeservedly given our. city dam
aging publicity. He protested against
the slam given the city administra-
ton without giving chance for the
other side to be heard. He outlined
the strike situation from the start
and read extracts from items pub:
i lished in his paper, The Willmar Tri:
bune, to prove what his attitude had
been. He quoted railroad officials
as saying that at no railroad point
on the Great Northern had there beer
as little trouble during the strike as
lat Willmar. He requested no action
from the Commercial Club, (for5 ii
| I had not been responsible as an org.
anization for last weeks meeting);
but wanted the privilege to give his
side to those present, many Of whom
