The town itself has a good set uii of business establishment, churches and schools and is the shopping centre for a considerable area. First Settlers It's a far cry to the dav when frontiersmen, fur traders, lumbermen and homeseekers were instrumental in opening up this country. One Is not long in the vicinity without hearing of the pioneers, Mr.

and Mrs. Giles Bronson. They commenced their new life here in a Jog cabin three miles east of the present town in a region, described as one of "danger, discomfort, adventure and promise." In the eastern part of the county there was little settlement In the early eighties; but in the late eighties early nineties, with stage lines connecting remote points, settlement proceeded more rabidly. An important date In the history of the Bronson community was the spring of 1900 when the Vik Brothers, John and Andrew, both at ill actively engaged in business, rtfned a small store a half mile south of the present townsite.

Waters so confined have been utilized to create a man made lake, already a popular resort, to which visitors come by thousands. The lower picture is the public school. such as the building of the auditorium and the lake project. Bronson boasts a goodly array of stores, garages and filling stations, weekly newspaper and printing plant, picture shows, hotel, cafes and various other businesses; also a fine post office, big community hall, electric lights and good sidewalks. A highly important industry is the modern creamery, with first class new building and equipment.

The Man Made Lakt Within the last couple of years many thousands of people have come to know Bronson through the great and growing attractions nf its man made lake which, with the slate park of which it is a part, is on the way to becoming one of Minnesota's greatest summer resorts. Hitherto residents In this part of the county, desiring to enjoy a lakeside outing, have had to drive 75 or 100 miles. Now they have at their very doors a lake and park of great natural beauty created through the magic of modern engineering. Primarily the project was based on the idea of water Conservation. In serious need of an adequate supply of pure water, the people of Kittson county in 1934 propositioned the Works Progress Administration ho had surveys made and found it feasible to build a dam on the south branch nf Two PJvers.

a mile and a half southeast of Bronson. In due i course financial and other ar I rangements were made and the work was started in the spring of 1916. Work on the dam and the development of the park has been rarried on by the W.P.A. with a company of homeless men who are provided with quarters and living In the big camp at the lakeside. Beautiful Water Resort The dam Is the largest of several hundred W.P.A.

Reassuring news concerning Hon. Charles A. Dunning, minister of finance, comes from Prince Edward Island where he is recuperating by the sea. His condition is stated to be greatly Improved. It is still a matter of uncertainty, however, whether he will wish long to continue in a post as strenuous as the one he tills.

One of the largest public projects in the state of Minnesota, has already provided a fine sandy bathing beach and work is progressing on a bath house and parking lots, as well as landscaping. A water tower In the park will be so built that it may be used as an observation tower commanding a view of the adjacent country. The plans also call for extensive tree planting. A portion of the ground is well treed, affording a splendid opportunity for picnics to which end facilities have already been provided. Good Fishing, Toe Already there is fishing, In the lake.

This feature will be greatly enhanced when the million fish fry recently planted here have had time to develop. On a holiday or Sunday, many outboard motor boats ply the lake waters with sightseeing passengers and some of the bathers ever? enjoy surfboard riding. The popularity of the new park indicates that It will be one of the most used in the Minnesota park system, providing wholesome recreation for tens of thousands of Minnesota citizens and visitors from neighboring states and Canada. Upwards of four to five thousand visitors come here every Sunday, a large percentage of them being Canadians and North Dakotans. A recent picnic held at the lake attracted upwards of 10, (KX) people.

Inspired by the prospect of hav Need For Road Planning Urged MONTREAL, 27 Highway planning and roadside development will be among the outstanding subjects to be discussed at the 24th annual convention of the Canadian Good Roads association, be neld Bigwin Inn. Lake of Bhvs, Ontario, Sept 6 to 8, It is the consensus of opinion of officers of the association that present traffic demands and adequate planning to meet them have set an enormous task for Canada's makers of roads. Relocation and reconstruction of existing highways are needed to meet present day traffic demands and to provide for the safety of all users of the highways.

Proper Plans Needed Proper planning eliminates faulty alignment, poor visibility, skiddy surfaces, soft shoulders, inadequate widths and sharp curves. Selection and development of efficient highway routes, and their priority of construction and improvement according to the dictates of traffic and safety requirements, are matters which must enage the best thought of all public and those who design and construct the roads of the nation. Largest In Hiitory With the attendance of more than 400 delegates already assured, the convention promises to be the largest and most representative in the association's history. There will be five business sessions, with nine technical lectures and seven addresses on the agenda, while the discussions will enlist the participation of two score or more of the professional and lay delegates. In addition there will be the annual business meeting of the association, the meetings of the executive, a directors' meeting and four or more committee meetings.

The afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 7, will be left free for golf or motor trips. Entertainment of the ladies of the delegates, expected to number about 100, will Include a trip to Callander, home of the Dionnes. The convention will conclude on Thursday evening with the annual dinner. Railway Project Is Turned Down GEORGETOWN, British Guiana.

Construction of a railway into British Guiana's hinterland will not be undertaken for another year at least after the Legislative Council turned down a motion to build a road into the interior. Hon. Joseph Eleazar pointed out the first railway in South America was built In 1848, between Georgetown and Plaisance. It was finished 23 years after the first railway in England began to operate. He urged construction to develop the interior.

British Guiana with its sparse population had an average of only three people to the square mile. Opponents of the scheme opposed it on the ground it would not achieve the objects outlined by Mr. Eleazar Conservator of Forests R. R. Wood did not believe there were good prospects of agricultural development in the interior.

The visitors' introduction to the state of Minnesota could scarcely be more favorable, for he will get a lasting impression of the surging life of the vast republic, of its great agricultural resources and of the enthusia sm and friendliness of its people. Half a century ago the area where Hallock now flourishes as a modern city of 1.500 souls was nothing but seas of rolling prairie and woodlands. It was a veritable hunter's paradise abounding in elk. moose, black bear, wolves and coyotes and various kinds of game birds. It was a land of primitive nature.

Its Founder It was this very thing to get far beyond the clamor of a big city and to follow one of man's earliest Instincts as a hunter that brought to this section a New Yorker In quest of wild nature and the spoils of the chase. This man was Charles Hallock. noted author, editor and sportsman of New York city, and for him the town is named. In the early days he made extensive trips in this part of the country, and finally Interested some ncn sportsmen in furnishing money lo build a sportmen's hotel at what is now Hallock. The hotel was erected in 1880.

anrh had a precarious existence for 12 years when it was destroyed by fire. While Hallock did not come to this region as a townsite promoter or a homesteader, singularly enough he practically opened up Minnesota to the outdoor public of the country, and in a sense was the founder of the town. Sportsmen's Resort During its heyday the original Hotel Hallock was the headquarters for sportsmen on hunting trips from all over the United States. With the resulting publicity and the advent of the Great Northern Railway, the village soon had a population of 500 people and many business places. The actual dale of its Incorporation as a village was June 11, 1887.

Hallock Is the county seat of Kittson county and one of the best towns along the lins? of the Great Northern in Minnesota. It is located in the heart of the great Red River valley, with rich soil all about it. It is a strictly agricultural region; crop yields are large and failures practically unknown. Farms range in size from a quarter section to one of 25,000 acres Mixed farming is practised. Hard wheat and other grains, clover, alfalfa, seed potatoes and corn are all grown successfully, while dairying, beef cattle, poultry and bees are also sources of large revenue.

Ready Market It is greatly to the advantage of the farmers to have at hand at all times a ready market for their cream and poultry in the Hallock Creamery, whose production of high grade butter and Icecream annually runs into large figures. Kittson county boasts some of the largest farms in the country. The great Florance farm of some 25,000 acres, located six miles north of Hallock, was one a part of the immense landed possessions of James J. Hill, and was formerly farmed by his son. This great grain farm, with its splendid buildings and equipment, is a study in modern methods and achievement Similarly the 17,000 acre Kiene farm at Kennedy is one of the largest and most successful in the world.

In the Tanquary Honey Farms, Hallock has a bee Industry that is one gf the largest, if not the largest In the world as regards the output of honey. The company operates units at Hallock and Warren. Minnesota, and at Emerson, Manitoba, the Hallock unit being the largest. Great quantities nf refined honey are produced and readily marketed all over the United States and Canada, and some even in England. As large users of package href and queens In their own yards, the company found It advantageou to establish beekeeping units to ensure both quality and supply Accordingly they have two of these in the south one in Missouri and one in South Carolina.

rTnm these other beekeepers in the United States and Canada are supplied with package bees. At the head of this splendid enterprise which adds so materially to business and fanning success at Hallock is Dr. M. C. Tanquary, entomologist at the University of Minnesota.

The production man I ager. resident at Hnllock during the honey season is W. Synott. In recent years sweet clover has been an important crop and a big source of revenue in more ways than one, for here the honey bee has its innings. Agricultural Society In connection with farming it is appropriate to mention the Kittson County Aaricultural society, so ably handled under the immediate direction of President Albin Olson and Secretary D.

J. Larson. Since its organization in 1SS8 the society I has never missed holding an an nual exhibition. Today Hallock and district are justifiably proud of their three day fair which is i one of the outstanding events of the kind in the whole state and draws an attendance some jears I as high as 36.000 people, among whom are numbered thousands I from Canadian points who are especially complimented hy the fair's "Canada Day." Last year I I the society built a new capacity grandstand. previously i having other excellent equipment I I in buildings and race track on the i l.Vacre grounds.

Hallock is R8 miles south of Win nipeg and 4L'3 miles north of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It Is amply served hy highways and by the Winnipeg branch of the Great 1 Northern Rnllwav. It is a town of, marked proressiveness. noted for i business activity and civic pride, All manner of business firms are i reptesented Two modern hotels and several excellent cafes provide accommodation for the traveller, i Fiisl cla.ss parages and sta i I 1 47T 4v mt a iff lll I I First Over Line: meet when travelling on No.

Stores of every kind overflow with good merchandise and service. Tourist Camps Two tourist camps, one privately owned, afford suitable facilities. There is, of course, a first class bank. Other industries, besides the creamery, are a busy machine shop and foundry and an up to date bakery. In short, nothing is missing from the set up of the modern business centre.

Furthermore, Hallock has fine water works and sewage, the best of lighting, splendid fire department and a creditable brass band. In connection with the water supply the town, as a W.P.A. prospect, is building a new 565,000 filtration plant which is expected to be In service in October. Hallock has modern schools and churches and rrjpny societies, lodges and clubs Including a civic club, of great service to the city and a very active, public spirited post of the American Legion. The Hallock Memorial hospital, in service since 1922 as a tribute to the country's soldier dead, is a noted institution that rates high in medical circles.

The community is fortunate In having this splendid institution, so capably handled by a staff of trained nurses and local physicians and surgeons whose The Sterling Store The Sterling Store at Hallock.
