MAKE A FAVORABLE REPORT.
The board of assessors or viewers
on the matter of establishing a
permanent level of Foot Lake filed
their written repoit in the District
Court last Thursday. It is entirely
favorable to the public interests,
specifically stating that after hear
ing all the evidence presented they
find that none of the objectors to the
improvement will be damaged in
any particular. The Board consist
ed of Charles M. Holm of Litchfield,
John Norgaard of Granite Falls,
and D. F. McDermott of Clontarf.
The following is an extract from
their report, which gives their find
ings in full:

WILLMAR, MINNESOTA. WEDNESDAY. MAY 24. 1911.
"The evidence offered in behalf
of the respective parties to said
cause having been duly heard and
all the evidence having been duly
considered by said assessors, the
undersigned assessorsfindand report
as their findings therein as follows.
"1. That the establishing, raising
and maintaining the waters of said
Foot Lake at the fixed and uniform
height proposed by the Board of
County Commissioners of Kandiyohi
County State of Minnesota, is nec
essary for the improvement of navi
gation on said Foot Lake and is
necessary for the promotion and
preservation of public health and
for the public advantage, welfare,
benefit and use.
"2. That the establishing, rais
ing and maintenance ot the waters
of Foot Lake at the height and level
determined and proposed by the
County Commissioners of Kandiyohi
County, Minnesota, will raise and
maintain such waters at a level not
to exceed the ordinary high water
mark of said Foot Lake.
"3 That the establishing, raising
and maintenance of the waters of
Foot Lake at the height and level
determined and proposed by the
Board of County Commissioners of
Kandiyohi County, Minnesota and
the proposed improvement will es
pecially benefit no lands.
"4—That the maintenance of the
waters of said Foot Lake at the
height or level proposed by the erec
tion of a dam as proposed to be con
structed by the Board of Countv
Commissioners of Kandiyohi County
at the outlet of said Foot Lake
and the maintenance thereof at the
height and level proposed, will not
damage any of the lands abutting
upon said lake, or otherwise, and
that the land3 owned or claimed to be
owned by the following named
objectors: I. I. Berg, John S.
Bobbins, L. 0 Thorpe., Swan
Andreson, A. C. Skoog. C. Acker
man, F. E. Ackerman, J. F. Nyqiust,
P. A. Ecklund and Peter Anderson,
or either of them, will not be
damaged by the raising of the
waters to the proposed height and
maintaining same and the erection
of a dam and the maintenance of
same at the outlet of Foot Lake
nor will said objectors, or either
any of them, sustain any damage
whatsoever by reason of the con
struction of the said proposed dam
and the maintenance of the waters
of said lake at the proposed height
and level herein referred to, norhalf
will any other person or persons,
.parties or concerns receive or be
aamaged in the raising and main
taining of the waters of Foot Lake
at the said proposed height.
"5. The cost of making and
maintaining the proposed improve
ment shall be borne by the County
of Kandiyohi, State of Minnesota."
This report disposes of the only
remaining objection to restoring
the level of the waters of Foot Lake
and providing an outlet of a per
manent height. The several ob
jectors to the raising had claimed
damages amounting to many thou
sands of dollars, and with their
array of legal talent, had made so
much noise that people generally
of the city, who realized the im
portance of Foot Lake to the city of
Willmar, were beginning to de-and
spair of being able to get this need
ed improvement. The viewers how
ever, were men of good judgment
who could not be carried off their
feet. The proposed raise over the pre

Commissioners before the assessors
were appointed, was 14 inches
above the stage of water as it was
found the 31st day of March, 1910.
At that time the water was barely
seeping out at the outlet, so it will
be practically 14 inches above the
bottom of the present outlet of the
lake. It is to be hoped that the
County Commissioners will make
arrangements for the immediate
construction of the dam. so that if
the rams continue the lake may
retain the water and come up to
its normal level Ihe county
board meets today and will, no
doubt, take action in the matter.
PROPOSED MAN BELIEVES IN
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.
The gentleman to whom Gov.
Eberhart is said to have offered
the superintendency of the Red
Wmg Training School not
only believes in corporal pun
ishment but believes it is invigor
ating. If he were to abolish it here,
it would be against his own expressed
opinion. Tom Noswal in the North
field News writes:
"I talked with Mr. Whittier the
other day. The gentleman at Red
Wing heems to "have the goods"
in some particulars and he is more
than ready to use them, too. The
wily superintendent heard that
Eberhart had offered the position
at Red Wing to C. C. Aspinwall
of the State training school of
Washington located at Chehalis.
Now Whittier earlier in the game
sent a telegram to each of the fifty
five institutions in the country
asking their opinion regarding the
use of corporal punishment, and
the replies show that fifty-one of
this number "use the rod and
paddle." Astonishing, it is true,
but none the less true. The four
which do not use corporal punish
ment use solitary confinement and
bread and water diet. "But here's
where the rub comes. Aspinwall
wab among the first to answer
Whittier's inquiry and in his answer
the Washington superintendent
says: 'I favor corporal punishment
and believe a small amount of it is
invigorating." Sort of reminds
one of an advertisement for a well
known soda fountain drink, doesn't
it?
"Now, what is to be gained by
making Aspinwall superintendent?
You say corporal punishment will
be abolished at Red Wing Well,
if that's true it will be abolished
under Whittier just as easily.
Whittier has never been a decided
advocate of that form of punish
ment. It was part of the system
which he took in hand and which
h'ad been practiced for years, in fact
since the beginning of the institu
tion. And a great many intelligent
men and women the country over
have said that while they do not
advocate the continual use of cor
poral punishment thev do believe
that it should be held permissable
in order to^force incorrigible pupils
into submission."

BAND CONCERT GETS
GOOD ATTENDANCE
The Willmar Band concert at the
Park Assembly auditorium last Fri
day night was enjoyed very much
by the large number of people of
the city who went out to attend it.
The band has made good progress
under the leadership of Mr. Theo
Olson, and the people of Willmar
showed by their interest in this
concert that they appreciate the
work the band is doing.
Besides the selections by the
band, there were solos by Mrs. Em
ma Cairns and Mr. Ghauncey Frye.
and selections by a quartette com
posed of Selmer Berg, Erick Glad,
Ghauncey Frye and Lars Jorstad.
They were all heartily encored.
Mrs. Parnell gave a reading and
was recalled twice, responding each
time with something very good.
The wish has been heard frequently
expressed that the band would give
more concerts during the season.
The receipts were some over $100.
Holand Goes to Europe.
H. R. Holand, historian of
Ephriam, Minn., announced today
his intention to accept the invita
tion to be the guest of the city of
Rouen, France.^during the millen
nial festival of Normandy, which
opens June 3. and exhibit the Ken
isngton, Minn., runestone. He will
sail from New York next week.
After the festivities at Rouen he
will go to Paris to search the
archives of that vicnitv in quest of
the runestone reported to have been
found by the French-Canadian ex
plorer, Llyrendrye. in northern
Minneosta in 1738 and which he
says, will furnish corroborative evi
dence to prove the truth of his claim
that a band of Norsemen settled in
the Red river valley in 1362.
After exhausting his search in
Paris Mr. Holand will continue his
researches in Norway and Sweden,
where he expects to make valuable
discoveries in governmental records
telling of the departure of the Norse
ment in 1361 on the expedition to
succor countrymen who were being
exterminated by the Esquimaux in
Greenland and of the return of the
remnant of the party in 1364. after
the failure of their companions to
return to the vessel from their
journey inland.—Minneapolis Jour

head quarters with a sister at Mol

an enjoyable trip, and his many
friends wish him a good time and
a safe return.
"To get rid of cut-worms,"and
says State Entomologist Washburn,
"Mix Paris green with dry bran
until the compound is quite green
in color, add water to make the
mass of the consistency of chicken
dough. If not real green, add more
Paris green. Sweeten this with
cheap molasses, cheap syrup or
sugar. At sundown or shortly af
ter put heaping tablespoonfuls of
this at intervals through the garden
where cutworms are most obnox
ious. This stuff should not be put
close to a plant, for if a rain should
come, and the Paris green is washed
down to the roots of the plant, it
injures the plant. A foot away
from any plant would be safe."
Saturday evening. May 27th,

Hon. M. J. Dowling gives the
following in his statement of
methods for making and maintain
ing good roads.

to use the drag is right after a rain.
