Ralston.—Val Kuska, colonization agent of the C. B. & Q. Railroad Co., informs us that the town of Ralston was named by T. E. Calvert, general superintendent of Lines West and later chief engineer for the Burlington, and so far as he can discover, the name has local significance. The reservoir is near town and was named Ralston by the Bureau of Reclamation. (The Reclamation Era 30:294) |
