TRIP.
Vancouver, B. c.
AI1U1ISt 23rd

Dear Mrs. Wilson, "We have
been here in Vancouver since Tuesday
evening and plan to leave Monday
forenoon on the boat for Victoria.
This is a wonderful city. 1t is claim
ed for it that it will be the New York
of Canada. Cars from practically
every state of the United States may
be seen here. 1t is thronged with
tourists.
"On Wednesday we looked in on
old friends and got our bearings. On
Thursday Mr.. j. Wilkinson, Manager
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, called for us and took US out
to Stanley Park and showed us many
points of interest. Among the things
we enjoyed were the Seven Sisters
great fir trees from four to five feet
in diameter and some $50 to 200 feet
tall, all in the group and only few
feet apart. We also saw the plat
form on which, surrounded by some
twenty thousand people, the late
President Harding gave his last ad-
dress three days before he died. Also
the Gateway" made out Of one tree.
Mr.. Wilkinson pointed out the foce-
paths and bride paths in the Park
so many days could be spent in wand
aring through them and then one
would not see it all.
''In the afternoon another friend
took US around and through the Park
by another way amid flowers beyond
description, past the Zoo and the four
great Totems poles presented to the
city by the Indians, (the carvings on
them are wonderful work of art),
the rock on which is carved the like
ness of Pauline Johnson and the
Siwash Rock standing alone in the
water with small tree growing on
its summit. l have seen many beau
tiful parks on both sides of the Forty
ninth parallel but they are all, when

Park with its thousand acres of ma

man, as mere garden patches of

power. -
Thousands of visitors from other
states will pour into the Capital and
its neighboring city of Minneapolis.
Six special trains are coming from
South Dakota; there will be five from
California; the Northwest will send
five or six, and states as far distant

seventy-one stores, known as the
Golden Rule Chain, which have been
operating throughout the west for a
number of years. The first Mime
sofa venture was made a little more

such success that the Company feels
justified in starting more stores of the
same type. Mr.. Clark's family has

". P. Francois
Opens New Store
'DUTCH" COMES BACK HOME;
ESTABLISHES BUSINESS IN
OLD QUARTERS.

The store building in the National
Bank block, known as the Francois
and Schmahl store to all residents of
this vicinity, was reopened for busi-
ness Monday, September 1st. The
new proprietor is w. P. Francois who
spent his boyhood and part of his

he and his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Francois, were owners with II. &.
Schmahl. For the past several years
Mr.. Francois has owned and Operat-
ed a large general merchandise busi-
ness at Marshall where he met with
splendid success. When the store
building here was vacated by j. F

decided to "come back home" and so
disposed of the Marshall business.
The store has always carried a
complete line of merchandise includ-
ing dry goods, shoes, clothing, ladies'
ready-to-wear and groceries. The
building is especially built to. accomo.

yet nearly complete, goods are arriv-
ing rapidly and the work of stocking
will be finished within short time,
In the grocery department Mr.. Fran
co.'s has instituted feature new to

sist of fresh goods of the best brands
and is one of the big attractions tp
the buying public.
Residents of Redwood Falls will
welcome Mr.. Francois return to the
city. The building he occupies is
splendidly located and equipped foi
a store of this character, and II
is a satisfaction to have it occupied
by one of the native sons who knows
the city and always has its interests
at heart. Mr.. Francois will dispose
of his Marshall home as soon as prac-
ticable and his family will then come
here to reside.

Talks Reduction
CANDIDATE SPEAKS FOR ECON
OMY AND AGAINST FADS AT
SHERBURN MEETING.

Theodore Christianson, Republicans
candidate for Governor spoke last
week at Sherburn and We Fairmoat
Sentinel gives the following account
of his talk.
Martin County republicans today
were sounding praises of Theodore
Christianson, the party's gubernator-
ial nominee, who spoke Saturday af-
ternoon at the Sherburn Harvest Fes
tival. Speaking under the most ad-
verse conditions, with a storm az
preaching, Mr.. Christianson deliv-
cred an address which held his audi
ence and won extended applause. :
"Mr. Christianson wasted no time
in getting to his point.
My platform is reduction of taxes
and expenditures and reorganization
Of the wasteful state SYSTEM" he told
his audience. The candidate has a ra-
pid fire style of talk and presents his
facts in a Straightforward and con-
vincing manner.
with the facts and figures to prove
his points, Mr.. Christianson replied to
attacks which have been made upon
him by his opponent, Floyd Olson, to
whom he referred ever with courtesy
and consideration.
"My opponent has said that during
the time that l was chairman of the
appropriations committee in the house,
which has been for the last ten years,
they have increased 300Tc. He charged
this in three speeches, and in each
one he gave different figures to sup
port his statements. There was two
million dollars difference in his own
statistics that he gave, first in a
speech in the Red River Valley, then
just the other day at Wanamingo."
"Mr. Christianson gave figures to
prove that instead of 800 per cent in
crease in appropriations, the expen-
ditures had increased but 10 per cent
in ten years, despite the heavier costs
of all commodities.
81 would like to ask the county at
torney of Henhepin county why the
expenses of his office increased 63 per
cent in four-year PERIOD said Mr..
Christianson.
"My opponent will probably repudl-
ate his Wanamingo statement" said
Christianson. II see by the morning
papers that he has already withdrawn
the statement opposing the Babcock
system which he made just a few
days ago."
applause interrupted the speaker
when he attacked communism, saying,
"No one ever wrote me a letter ask
ing me. to repudiate communism.
They didn't have to. 2. 2 Tom Davis
wrote my opponent and what reply
did he get? That the candidate would
stand upon the St. Cloud platform OF
the party"
"The- speaker then read from the
platform which calls for municipal
ownership in extensive form.
"Public ownership would place a
mortgage of $4,000 on every $4,000

fit put on by Wabasso and Vesta at
the former place Wednesday at which
time a large crowd gathered to cele-
brate and help the tornado victims.
The quality of the exhibits shown
was better than last year. There
was also a marked improvement
shown in the efficiency of the club
work conducted by the members as
shown by the records and stories.
This was particularly gratifying to
those interested in helping the boys
and girls in Redwood County make
the best BETTER"
The County Championship was won
by Bob Noting of Lamberton who
got first prize on his pure bred Hol-
stein 2 years old and he will get a
free trip to the National Dairy Show

his animal free at the Northwest

Very unfortunately through some
error in notice Burton Meyer was
not present with his Duroc Jersey
gilt but came to Wabasso on Friday
to show his pig. He made very
creditable record with his project this
year and being so badly disappointed
in not being able to enter competition
was awarded one of the Farm Boys
Camp trips for the State Fair next
year. He will also come back to the
County Fair to satisfy himself as to
where his pig would have ranked in
the county contest.-Wabasso Stan.
