About $50, 900 in round numbers is
the sum total of the public improve
ments carried on in the city of Red
wood Falls during the year that Faith
er Time is about to turn over to 1894.
While this is remarkable growth for
an unprecedented dull year it is not
up to what was anticipated in these
columns about a year ago, when sew
eral business blocks we're contemplat-
ed, and their construction later post
poned by reason of the stringency of
the money market.
Probably among the Improvements
made during the year, to be complet-
ed during the ensuing year the new
Methodist church stands at the head.
Between two and three thousand dol
lars have already been expended on
the foundation, and the replacing of
the old structure into position for
brick veneering. It is expected that
work will commence on the new part
as soon as spring OPENS, and rapidly
pushed to completion. The next larg-
est improvements are found in the ell
evators on the Northwestern tracks,
nearly $4,000 having been expended
on them, G.. w. VanDusen & Co. con:
structing $1,000 building last spring
that was destroyed by fire several
months later. E. M. WaIbridge ex-
pended $500 on his new elevator on
the tracks, and the Eagle Roller mills
of New Ulm improved their elevator
to the extent of $1,000. The Van
Dusen Co., is putting up coal sheds at
the present time at cost of several
hundred dollars. Through the kind
ness of Laird Norton & Co. and the
