The Gazette notes conflicting spellings Lynd, Lynde, and Linde in senate records and monuments. A. R. A. Landon proposes trail name options for public consideration at the June 12 1918 Granite Falls meeting. Northfield reports a Community club and the Commercial club renaming to widen scope to farmers and business people.
