From the Glenwood Herald January 26, 1912

 Reports received from Pope County and all other parts of the state are to the effect that, if weather conditions are favorable there will be a very large crowd in Glenwood on the fourteenth of next February to witness the ski contest.

 he Soo railroad has published a twelve page booklet about Glenwood. The booklet is called Rest for the Weary and it gives the advantages Glenwood possesses as a summer resort. It is illustrated with numerous views of Glenwood, Lake Minnewaska and surroundings. It states that Glenwood is famous for its lakes and drives, that the fishing is excellent and that it has the best water in the world. Among the points of interests it mentions the State Fish Hatchery, the spring water plants, the Library and Point Lookout.

The Glenwood fire department will give their annual ball on Feb. 14, 1912 at the McCauley opera house.  They expect a large attendance as this is the evening of the ski tournament.

 P.P. Johnson received an order some time ago from the company, from whom the ornamental street lights in Glenwood were purchased, for a few photographs of the streets of Glenwood showing these lamps.  Mr. Johnson has taken the photographs and sent them to this company yesterday.  The views are very good and show the streets and business places of Glenwood to good advantage.  This company will use them in a book which they are advertising purposes.

 All had a fine time at roller skating Saturday evening; the best part of it was that the girls furnished supper.

 The engineers on the Soo line report that the frost is heaving the tracks more then usual this winter therefore giving lots more work to the men who keep the tracks in order.  This is thought to be due to the fact that a great deal of rain fell last year and to the extreme cold that we have had this winter.

 John Danielson fell and hurt his arm one day last week while he was skiing down a steep hill.

 The thermometer has registered as low as 40 below zero, and yet we all lived through it.  Nobody froze to death.
