first construction and its rebuilding
in the present location was by work
men who were skilled in producing
this style and value of architecture.
Married at Is
Eta McPhail was married at 16
years of age and during their earlier
years Mr.. Anderson was a teacher in
the schools of st. Paul.
In later time four generations of
her family have been living in Min
neapolis.
During most of the years Mrs. An
derson has been in her own Minnea-
polls home but in occasional intervals
was with her son John in Minneapolis,
her son George in California, her
grandson George Kingston in Chicago
and Minneapolis ad recently with her
son James, an instructor in schools of
Denver, Colorado, then with her
granddaughter, Mrs. E. F. Northey in
Minneapolis.
At rs years Mrs. Anderson was
surprisingly similar, in appearance and
demeanor, to herself when she was Is
years old, as she was known at Red
wood Falls, a quiet, thoughtful, hum
orous, cultured lady-yet a spirited
and Independent personality.
Three years ago she accepted an in
vitation from the Fort Ridgely asso-
citation to attend their annual cele-
bration as guest of honor, and was
presented to the Fort Ridgely audi
ence by Governor Theodore Christian
son who was the principal speaker
on that occasion.
No one could have been more joy
fully welcomed to this same place
than her father, Colonel McPhail,
when he arrived with troops to end
the siege, 70 years ago this month.

Henze. With the aid of Marion john
son, who witnessed its first removal
to the Redwood town site in 1864, it
was again rebuilt at the junction of
the Ramsey creek and the Redwood
river, central to the park area, where
several park driveways meet.
Tyson and Johnson were two of the
first valley pioneers who had built
log houses of their own and quite ma
turally thought of adding an old A5ne
fire place to this park structure.
Free fuel and heat equipment to
campers and park visitors keep this
place quite constantly occupied dur
ing outing seasons and will continue
for many years to come, as a demon
stration and reminder of the friend
ly and unstinted hospitality of both
the Indian and the pioneer, each in his
own way.
Had Many Uses
The other structure has served as
many useful purposes as this McPhail
house, during five distinct periods of
its history, each entirely different
from every other. 1t was first erect
ed under the direction of Joseph
Renshaw Brown, who was the first
government agent for the Redwood
Sioux reservation, for the purpose of
aiding and inducing Indian families
to begin farming, in a exclusively
Indian community, in about the same
location as the Indian colony now in
Redwood county.
After several years came the "Out-
break" when Red men fled to the
West and whites to the East and this
Indian home, with many others was
abandoned and remained vacant
through second period of two years.
The Town House years were crowd
ed with many changes and occupied
by several families. 1t served as an
apartment house during season with
two rooms allotted to each family.
Here was the first doctors office and
the first supply of drugs and first
dental work. McPhail himself made
the first coffin with suitable cloth lin
ing for a neighbours child, the first
life lost in the new settlement.
Made First Flag
A gathering of the housewives for
a sewing party in the same room that
is now preserved in the Ramsey park
is still remembered, when they made
the first United States flag which wav-
ed greetings to the morning sun from
the top of the first Liberty Pole which
was set out from the east entrance of
the stockade. The flag raising follow
ed the booming of an anvil from the
John Thomas blacksmith shop at day
break of the first Fourth of July cele-
bration at Redwood. Those were DAYS
of real sport.
When the McPhail family moved
into their first frame residence, which
is now part of the home of Mrs.
Julia Glassco, the old house was used
for time as the first Redwood hotel.
Following its removal from town
to the stockade farm on the Minneso-
ia river bottomlands, this substantial
building was useful for many pur-
poses during two score years.
The present sound condition of the
building after three quarters of
century of strenuous use and con-
slant exposure, demonstrates that its

Line Straddlers May
Get Arrest Tickets
Motorists Must Keep to Right
of Center Line Highway
Bulletin Warns

The line marked down the center of
paved highways is considered one of
the most definite safety features of
modern highways, and motorists in
Minnesota who fail to keep to the
right of it in accordance with the
uniform traffic law are likely to get
tickets from highway patrol officers
which will require their appearance
in court, instead of the warning that
has been customary to the present, a
recent highway bulletin reports.
Motorists who make a practice of
straddling the center line invariably
swing in, after having turned out to
meet other vehicles, without looking
to the rear and without giving sign
al, highway patrolmen report. This
results in many side-swiping accidents
through cars that have been behind
them moving up to pass just as the
line-straddler moves to the center of
the roadway again.
A car approaching an intersection
and travelling in the center of the road
causes opposing motorists to expect
a left turn to be made, and the turn
ing to the right by the middle-of-the
roader, instead of to the left, fire.
quently furnishes the setting for a
head-on collision, the bulletin reports.
Records are made at the highway
department headquarters of warnings
given to motorists for this and SINH
lar kind of traffic law attractions, ac-
cording to Captain George Kuch of
the state highway patrol, and if it is
disclosed that these warning are dis
regarded and the practice continued,
more drastic measures will be applied.
"Keep to the right side of the line re-
gardless of whether other vehicles
are in sight, or not, and you will be
safer from possible injury and safe
from arrest" Captain Kuch reports.
