H. M. HITCHCOCK
SHOWS COLLECTION
OF FINE PICTURES
HISTORY AND BEAUTY OF STATE
AND CITY PARKS SHOWN IN
VALUABLE PRINT COLLEC-
TION.

A most valuable collection of pic
lures has been displayed for the first
time in its entirety in Redwood Falls
during the past week. This collec-
tion is owned by H. M. Hitchcock,
formerly of Redwood Falls and now
of Minneapolis, who has spent the
past many years in gathering these
prints which are valuable from an
historic viewpoint as well as being a
most artistic story of the develop
ment of Ramsey State Park, and its
surrounding vicinity, including Red
wood Falls. Many of the most beau
tiful of the views are those in the
City park along the Redwood which
was the gift of A. c. Burmeister to
Redwood Falls.
The pictures are practically all the
products of amateur photography, the
largest proportion of them being the
work of Mr.. Hitchcock's own camera.
An interesting group of several pic
lures showing construction work on
the Lake Redwood dam was taken
long ago by Fred L. Warner. Julius
A. Schmahl and the late Otto Dorm
berg loom large in these pictures.
Others of a more recent date were

MINNESOTA DIVISION OF THE

INACCURATE STATE WIDE

A strenuous campaign against Pol

the Minnesota Division Izaak Walton
League of America, was announced
by Fred H. Doellner, secretary-Treas-
urer, of the organizations
Judson L. Wicks, prominent Min
neapolis attorney, chairman of the
Minnesota Division State Pollution
Anti-Pollution Committe fired the
opening gun in this campaign at the
annual convention of The League of
Minnesota Municipalities at Virginia,
Minnesota, when he said:
"No more important or pressing
problem will present itself to our next
legislature than the Pollution of our
lakes and streams. Our expanding
population and industries are yearly
increasing our water contamination.
Not much has been done in state
wide way to check pollution. Some
very good work has been done in GER
tain localities. Certain cities have in
stalled sewage disposal plants and
the state has joined with Wisconsin in
a survey of pollution conditions of the
Upper Mississippi, but, very little has
been accomplished compared with
what ought to be done.
Economically, the pollution problem
affects great interests. In greater or
less degree, and in some way or 9TH
er, it affects the following industries

SLAYTON HOTEL
IS PURCHASED
BY P. W.COLLMS
REDWOOD FALLS HOTEL MAN
BUYS SLAYTON HOTEL AND
EQUIPMENT AND WILL TAKE
POSSESSION OCTOBER nth.

The Park Hotel, for the past sever
al years owned and successfully and
courteously operated by Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Frederiksen, was sold on Tues
day by Mr.. Frederiksen to Mr.. P. W..
Collins, of Redwood Falls.
The deal involved purchase of the
hotel building as well as the furniture
and full equipment and calls for CIV
ing of possession October 11th.
Mr. Collins comes to Slayton high
ly recommended and Mr.. Frederiksen
states that he will give Slayton pop
ular hostelry. He has been in the
hotel business all his life, is Of gen.
ial disposition and will make good.
Mr. and Mrs. Frederiksen have not
yet made up their minds what they
will do. Soon after turning over the
property, however, they state that
they will motor to California for a
few months rest and may locate there
if they can find satisfactory loca-
tion. If they do not like California
they will return to Minnesota, having
in mind several locations where they
can again enter the hotel business.
Slayton people and the travelling
public regret extremely to lose the
Frederiksens who have proved them
selves loyal friends and citizens and
courteous and obliging hotel opera
tors, but feel fortunate in securing in
their place so able and highly recon-
mended a man as Mr.. Collins.-Mur-

REDWOOD FALLS
COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
REDWOOD FALLS CIVIC ASSO-
CATION TO BE REPRESENTED
AT NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL
CONFERENCE.

At a special meeting of the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club held at
the club rooms Friday evening, Aug
ust 9th, new problems were intro
duced and discussed. These problems
dealt with the highly desired mark
ing of roads leading to Ramsey Park,
further development of the Park it
self, and the need of Agricultural
marketing relief.
A communication from the st. Paul
Association was read through which
the club was advised that it is propos-
ed to hold a conference with the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board at
which time report on the agricul
tural situation prepared by it will
be considered. An effort is being
made to bring the twelve North Gen.
trail States solidly together in sup
port of agricultural relief through the
various civic organizations and farm
ers organizations. The communica-
tion asked that the Redwood Falls
club appoint some one to represent
it at this conference which is to be
held at date to be set tentatively
for some time in September. Con-
gresham Frank Clague was elected
as delegate to attend the conference
and D. L. Crimmins as alternate.
There was considerable discussion
regarding the erection of signs for the
guidance of tourists into the Ramsey
State Park, both on the roads leading
into town and also in the city. j. F.
O'Meara stated that the state high
way department would undoubtedly
be willing to furnish signs conform
ing with those used for marking high
ways. E. H. Henschke, C. C. Little
and C. A. Lauterbach were named a
committee to handle the park signs.
A suggestion worthy of consideration
was that electric signs be placed
at each entrance of the park.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the cost of erecting suitable
signs and the cost of maintenance.
A committee consisting of w. S.
Brammer, chairman, C. H. Schultz and
o. A. Stensvad was appointed for
this purpose. =.
Mr.. H. M. Hitchcock of Minneapo-
lis, a former resident Of Redwood
Falls, gave an interesting talk on the
various opportunities that he has had
to gain publicity and advertising for
Ramsey State Park through the city
dailies and other mediums of adver-

VERY SUDDENLY
AT HOME HERE
RETIRED FARMER VICTIM OF
SUDDEN HEART ATTACK FOL-
LOWING WORK ON FARM; BUR-
IAL SERVICE TUESDAY.

A. N. Falk, the father of County
Treasurer A. P. Falk, died very sud-
denly at his home here at nine-thirty
o'clock last Saturday evening. Death
is attributed to sudden heart at
tack. The burial service was held at
the Presbyterian church at two-thirty
o'clock Tuesday afternoon with DR..
j. H. Sellie reading the service in the
absence of the regular pastor, DIR. A.
w. Ross. Mr.. Sellie is the pastor of
the Presbyterian church at LIE Sueur
and is friend Of many years stand
ing of the Falk family. Burial was
made in the Redwood Falls cemetery.
The service was held on the sixty
seventh anniversary of Mr.. Falk's
birth.
The death of Mr.. Falk came as
great shock to his family and friends.
He had not been i'll at all and had
spent the most of last week assisting
with the threshing and other farm
work on his farm in Underwood
township. He returned from the farm
early Saturday evening, complaining
of slight pain in his chest and one
shoulder. He retired early and his
wife left him apparently in good
health, to return few minutes later
and find him dead.
Andrew Nelson Falk was born in
Kristianstad, Sweden, August 10th,
1859. He came from Sweden to the
United States in the spring of 1880
and spent the next ten years in Chi
cago. There he was in the employ
ment of the Pullman Company en-
gagged in the making of cars and was
the first man to ever build a car with
a vestibule such as are now so COM
mon. His farming career began near
Burchard in Lyon County in 1890 and
there he spent thirteen years. In the
fall of 1902 he came to Redwood
County and resided on farm in I'm
derwood township until March, 1924,
when he retired, coming to Redwood
Falls to make his home.
He was married in the year 1886 to
Miss Elna Person. Four children
were bo4a to this union; Esther, Ar
thur and Anna who survive him with
their mother, and son who died in
infancy. He is also survived by two
sisters residing in Sweden and a
nephew at Erwin, S. D.
Mr.. Falk has always been active in
church work wherever he has lived.

Law ENFORCEMENT
is NOT EFFECTIVE
IN COUNTRY TOWNS

Familiarity is said to breed
contempt. This, possibly, ex-
plains why no effort is made by
law enforcement officers out
side the large cities to enforce
any of the provisions of the
state motor vehicle law. Every
person who drives an automo-
bile knows, for instance, about
the provisions regarding glaring
headlights, and so, undoubted-
ly, does every law enforcement
officer, yet this provision is con-
stantly and continuously viola
ted in every village, city and
hamlet in the state with the ut
most impunity, while prosecu-
tions for violation are absolute
ly unknown outside the large
cities. Preaching law enforce
ment is not likely to be very eff
fective until some means is
found to enforce observance of
laws by those who are delegated
to enforce the law.-Luverne
Herald.
