Back and forth before her door,
at the foot of the slope from
North Redwood to Redwood Falls,
pass the cars and trucks of the
modern world. Many drivers have
pleasant memories Of an acquain-
tanceship with the pleasant hotel
proprietress, Miss Louise Weiss,
which dates back to the days when
the slower horse and buggy gave
more time for surveying the pic
turesque scene. Others notice on
ly the beauty Of the spot and the
industry Of the maiden lady who
keeps its lawns and gardens so
well groomed.
Miss Weiss came to this part of
the country about 60 years ago
and has devoted the greatest share
Of that time to the laborious tasks
which can accumulate around q
farm and an individually operated
hotel.
In fact it was not the easiest
task to get Miss Weiss to discon-
tinue activities in her well-filled
garden to get a few words from
her in the form Of an interview.
Her cabbages were showing signs
Of being eaten and her deductory
powers, gained from years of
gardening, simmered the field of
possibilities down to rabbits. Her
work at the time was concentrat-
ed on means Of Kidding her sauer-
kraut plants of the pests.
Undoubtedly the earliest resi-
dent of North Redwood who still
lives there, Miss Weiss settled on
farm with her family when
small girl. The home then was
across the road from where she
now resides and up to the foot of
the hill. There was no such thing
as North Redwood at the time.
About ten years later, or about
so years ago, they erected the
hotel and did fiourishing bust
ness after the railroad was put
through the town. Living there
with her at the time were her
mother and father and brother,
Anton, now prominent resident
of Duluth. A younger brother,
William, drowned at the. age of
eight years in the Redwood river
near the spot where the mill once
stood. Her father died in 1906
and her mother died in 1916.

HISTORICAL TOUR
STUDIES VALLEY
By III. M. Hitchcock

The tour of the Minnesota His
torical society for this summer
passed through Redwood Falls as
scheduled, last week Friday en-
route to Wood Lake.
Meetings and programs were
held at Granite Falls, Lac qui Par
lie State park and Montevideo later
in the day and other historic spots
were visited.
Every address at every place
was chiefly or entirely a recital of
Redwood county history, in an
area now occupied by four coun-
ties, extending westward to Da-
kota.
One Of the most intensely inter-
esting addresses was by Fred
johnson of New Ulm at Granite
Falls. It is strongly recommended
to secure him to speak at Redwood
Falls on these topics.
One Of the most important dis
cussions at Montevideo Friday
evening was by c. E. Mills whose
father and mother conducted the
first hotel in Redwood Falls, inside
the sod stockade, in the seven
room log house, which had been
Colonel McPhails first residence of
the town, when Mr.. Mills was a
small boy.
The main, central room Of that
house, with an added fire place,
has been used for q similar pur-
pose by picnickers and visitors to
Ramsey park, during all outing
seasons for many years.
Mr.. Mills related much of re-
r1arkable Importance that happen
ed during that early pioneering
time which has not yet been fully
told. It is expected much of this
will later be made available to
Redwood county readers.

Con,munity's First Business Woman
Too Busy for Clubs, Likes Garden

The pride of the country at
that time was the horse and bug
gy owned and driven by the
family. About the longest trip
ever taken, Miss Weiss stated,
was to Redwood Falls.
She still owns a cow and many
chickens. A familiar sight in that
vicinity is the cow being led to
pasture each morning and return
ed to the barn in back Of the hotel
at night.
A haven for the younger set Of
Redwood Falls a few years ago
was the Weiss hotel where many
from here would flock each Sum
day to enjoy her famed chicken
dinners. Asked if the custom were
still prevalent, Miss Weiss shook
her head sadly.
She enjoys the company Of
young people immensely and when
the crowd which visited her SO
frequently established homes else
where, she missed them consider
ably.
Miss Weiss does not belong to
any social organization in the vii
lage as work does not permit her
to devote the necessary time to
such activities. Once each year she
entertains members Of the aid at
her hotel and quite frequently in
vites members Of the ministerial
group to spend Sunday at the
hotel after they have given their
sermons.
The interview was granted in
the dining room Of her house.
hotel. One glance at the interior
and you feel that the term 'spick
and SPAN was originated no place
else but from the cleanliness of
the Weiss hotel. You almost dis
like to sit in any of the chairs for
fear Of leaving a trace Of dust or
dirt-not on your pants or dress
but on the chair.
About half an hour was taken
from her day during the visit and
having feeling that maybe the
rabbits were back at the cabbage
plants and not wishing to have
any part in the destruction Of her
garden products we departed, feel
ing real sense Of enjoyment over
the visit and hoping that future
interviews with others would be
half as pleasant.

DR. Arthur Z. Bestor, the presi-

Thousands OF Americans in every

Chautauqua last summer, the con-

summer was made possible, 1t was
revealed. The deficit is not yet
wiped out, but it will be by the end
Of the coming season, the presi-
dent said, provided Chautauquans
and their friends continue to help
re-establish Chautauqua in finan-
cial status, In attendance and in
national prestige.
The program which Is to be
conducted this summer from July
9TH through Labor Day is made
possible because the Chautauqua
Reorganization Corporation has
guaranteed thet expenses OF the

ic, religious educational and other
