A copy of the first number of the Red
wood Falls Patriot, dated May 4, 1889,
was presented to us last week by Mr.. Ed
March. The paper was printed by Thos.
NJ. Perry, at st. Peter, and edited by Col
Samuel McPhail We are informed that
this was the first paper ever issued here,
but as it was printed in another county,
and mainly for the purpose of advertising
the delinquent tax list, it was short lived.
We copy a few extracts:
Redwood Falls is on the road to fame
and wealth. She is the halfway house
from New York to San Francisco and
the geographical center of the American
continent. Rich in lands. timber and
water, a railroad pointing to her gates for
travel and traffic, Redwood looms up in
gigantic proportions"
The paint manufactured here is a
matter Of great Importance, and when it
comes to be realized generally, it will be
one of the largest products of the West. +"
"The coal mines, three miles from
town. are again attracting public atten-
ton. 1t exists in abundance, and all that
is needed is enterprising men and ma
chinery to get it out"

Mr.. l.. S. Martin, who located in the
northeast corner of the town of Sheridan.
six miles west of Redwood Falls, two
years ago. is making some Improvements
of a substantial character. He is now
building the largest barn in the county,
it being 204 feet long, "a feet wide and
IA feet high, with stone basement seven
fcet'in depth under 1870 feet of the build
ing. The work is being done in most
excellent manner under the supervision
of Mr.. S. Russell, of this place. The
barn will cost, when completed. about
81, 200. Mr., Martin came here from Min
neapolis to engage in farming, and very
sensibly decided there was more profit in
stock than in wheat raising. He has a
half section of land, and 400 sheep, be.
sides other stock.

Last Thursday there were two cases Of
pounding in which whisky and blood were
mixed in unequal proportions, and in one
of which Matt. Offerman and his club
took rather too prominent parts. The
same evening some unknown rowdies
threw stones into the rear of Offerman's
saloon. The latter tried to retalliate by
asking the marshal to make a certain ar
rest, which was attempted, but was re-
sisted by a mob of boys in sympathy with
the accused. The next day the affair was
aired in Squire Johnson's court, and on
account of some legal defect in the pro-
ceedings, as we understand, the whole
party was discharged. Offcrman left
town next day, on account of the feeling
against him, and has not since returned.
Ghc affair is scandal which we would
feel it our duty to suppress, were it not
already notorious.

The location finally fixed upon for the
foundry is on the lots north of Daniels &
Wasson's new works; on Mill street. Be-
fore selecting this site the lots on the
corner of the same block, to the south of
Daniels & Wassons, were leased; but
owing to the protests of some of the resi-
dents near by, the lease was relinquished
upon the payment of small sum. The
work on the foundry building has been
prosecuted to such purpose that it is al.
ready incloscd and rooted. O'Hara &
Hyatt are doing the work on the main
building, which is 5Ox2O feet in dimen-
sions.

As Others See Us.

Mark w. Clay, of the Oronoco Journal.
who visited this part of the countrya few
weeks ago, has this to say of our village
and Redwood county.
Redwood is large county, contain
ing about twenty-five townships. 1t is
somewhat rolling. and has about the right
proportion of grass and grain land, go
that farmer can raise grain or stock, or
both if he sees fit. The soil is deep,
rich loan, over a clay subsOil. About
Redwood Falls there is quite large body
of timber, sufficient to furnish good
portion of the county with tirewood for
many years.
"The c. & N. w. railway runs through
the southern tier of towns in the county,
furnishing the settlers good markets for
all the surplus produce. The Minnesota
Valley railway runs from Sleepy Eye to
Redwood Falls, the present terminus of
the road and the county seat of Redwood
county, a village of something over a
west the village is protected by grove
desirable places to live in the country.
The early settlers of Redwood Falls took
pains to set out shade trees around their
homes and the residerce streets, and
many of these trees are now ten inches in
diameter, and give to the streets very
fine appearance. For mile or more along
the Redwood river, through the town. the
river drops very rapidly; making some
four or five waterpOwers; giving to each
fall of about twenty-five feet. Three
very good Touring mills are running there
now, leaving one good power vacant, and
yet to be improved. These powers will
eventually be of great value to the county.
The business houses are mostly of wood,
and unless they have good fire depart
ment, they may expect a big fire some
day. The dwelling houses as class are
good. They have some fine church edi-
fees. Their school contains four depart
mcnts, and is said to be well managed.
''All branches of business appear to
be well represented, especially the news
paper business. The Redwood Gazette
has recently changed hands. 1t is now
run by Aiken Il Rigty, two thorough
newspaper men, who devote their whole
time to the business. The Gazette is well
patronized, and deserves to be.
Many emigrants who have Travelled
all over Dakota came back to Redwood
county and bought land, declaring it to
be the best country they had seen in all
their travels"
