WASECA FOLKS ON EDGE
SINCE DASTARDLY CRIME

Neighbors living in the vicinity OF
the Schuch farm at Waseca, where
three persons were murdered by q
hammer slayer, have been terrified
since they sensed the real horror Of
the crime.
Doors have been heavily barred and
bolted, fire arms loaded and kept
conveniently handy at all times,
Some farmers living close by have
been spending their nights in Waseca
and returning to their farm work in
the day time. Sunday one farmer
returned to his home to do chores and
found a car parked in his yard. He
left his chores and returned to the
Eneighbors. Later it developed that
the car had run out of gasoline and
had been pushed into the farm yard.
Another states that it had wrecked
his home circle and his family will
never be happy again unless the
is solved. Some report that neigh
bors are punching up and sleeping at
one house.
Even in the city people are fright
ened. It is almost impossible to get
girls to stay with children after
nine o'clock. Nearly every house has
been locked since the murder, and
many have armed themselves with
weapons of defense.

Prospects Good For
Excellent Tourist Season
FAIRFAX BACKS
PARK PROJECT

Fairfax will soon have another pub
lie park which is being established on
the property owned by St. Andrews
Catholic church Of Fairfax located
west of T. H. No. 70 and the old
Stoddard residence property, by st.
Andrews Council No. 1925, Knights
started at a meeting of the council
of Columbus. The movement was
held May 5, when the matter was dis
cussed and committee, consisting
of Frank Heger, VIM. Caven and E.
j. Palmer, was appointed to have
charge of the work.
The property consists Of two blocks
of ground with a fine grove of trees
covering a greater portion of it. 1t
is planned to equip the park with
playground devices of various kinds,
tables for picnics and other convent
ences. A log cabin will be built for
the use of Fairfax Troop No. 2, Boy
Scouts of America, which is also
sponsored by the Knights of Column
bus. The work of cleaning up the
property is under way and the work
is being done by the Boy Scouts under
the direction of the committee.
1t is planned to make this a public
park or playground and it will be
maintained by the Knights of Column
bus. No name has been selected for
the new park as yet, but it will likely
be called st. Andrews park as the
property belongs to the church,
Fairfax Standard.

inquiries Concerning Vacations
Are Running Far Ahead
Of Last Year

Prospects for banner tourist year
for Minnesota were never better if
mail inquiries can be used in making
comparisons with other years accord
ing to H. C. Hotaling, state tourist
commissioner and secretary of the
Ten Thousand Lakes Greater Mime
sofa Association.
All records have been broken by in
quiries received in response to the
advertising of the association and the
number of letters being received con-
corning vacations more than triples
the number received at this time last
year.
On Thursday, May % the names of
4,190 persons making inquiries con-
corning vactions in Minnesota had
been listed. On May % last year only
1912 names had been listed. 1t was
June 20 last year before 4,190 names
had been listed.
These figures according to Mr.. Ho-
falling would indicate that Minnesota
should enjoy an exceptionally good
tourist year, weather and financial
conditions remaining normal. They
also indicate that the tourist season
will begin earlier this year than it did
last.
Reports have been received at the
office of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association that in
some parts of the state the tourists
are now arriving. A resort owner
from the western part of the state
while in the Twin Cities last week
said that there were unusually large
number of tourists in his vicinity for
this time of the year.
Employees of the Association who
attended the National Outdoor Life
Exposition at Chicago recently re-
turned to Minnesota convinced that
there will be large number of tour
lists from Illinois this year and de-
clared that there was greater interest
in the vacation attractions of this
state than ever before. All of which,
according to Mr.. Hotaling, should
mean a banner tourist year or 1929.

BLY, the Political ANALYST

AUSTIN, Aug. 6.-The statewide
highway bond issue plan was de-
clared to involve politics as well as
engineering, al representatives OF
the three regional chambers OF
commerce met here 70 formulate
a campaign in its behalf for next
year.
Two methods were proposed by
speakers Of getting the road-build-
ing program before the people.
/. Education.
2. Efforts to select in every
county next year members OF the
legislature who will be familiar with
highway building problems and the
states road building needs.
Education Proposal
Under the heading Of education,
a committee was authorized TO IN
clude one representative Of the
West Texas Chamber Of Commerce
one Of the East Texas Chamber OF
Commerce and OF the South
Texas body, to set out before the
people OF the state the unfinished
condition OF the state road system,
the urgency Of repaying counties
state roads. to permit their COM
plotting their lateral systems, and
the road comprehensive financing
plan. as seen by these organizations.
10 attain the goal of the completed
network Of permanent highways.
But the second phase Of the I'M
dertaking holds out most interest
ing possibilities. Carried 10 its fun
meaning. this would involve the sell
ection of legislative candidates
favorable to the highway compile
ton plan. 1t would involve support
of the candidates favored and OPP
position to those candidates hostile
to highway bonds. This aspect,
truly enough. would carry the issue
Of road-building into the realm Of
politics.
The i~nterregional highway COM
mittee's work was without reference
to any candidacy for governor, and
members emphasized the import
ance Of adopting a sharply-define6
program before any Of the numer-
Gus candidates might get on this
platform. SO that the highway pro-
gram would have TO be accepted
by the candidate as that of a state
wide organization. rather than the
chambers Of commerce accepting g
candidates platform.
Move Taking Root
The program of education" al
ready is taking roots. 1t is known
that officials of the regional cham
bers Of commerce have made con-
tact with more than 100 local cham
bers Of commerce to align the local
