Granite Falls journal: Consider
able sport has been made over the al
legged discovery of gold at Redwood
Falls, but from present indications it
really looks as though there was gold
down there for sure. If gold is to be
found down there it is also to be found
in this section. If not why not7
The county commissioners are in
session for the purpose of considering
the county Jail question. County At
torney Pierce states that the commits
sioners will probably make loan of
SIS, 600 from the State before adjourn
ing for the purpose of carry out the con-
struction of the Jail, according to
plans. Work will therefore commence
Immediately. Chas. johnson will

the building.
The Redwood Juniors turned down
the Marshall Silver Stars on the Mar
shall grounds last Monday afternoon.
The game was close and exciting from
post to finish, the Stars starting out to
win by knocking six scores out of Rol-
Inns during the first inning of the
game. Then Rupert Martin went in
to the box and proved wizard for the
Marshall boys. 1t was a. see saw game,
after Redwood tied the score. Howe,
MarshaIl's :crack pitcher, pitched the
last six innings of the game. 1t re-
suited in score of 10 to II in favor Of:
the Juniors. The players we're as fol-
lows: Theiring c, Martin p, Luscher
ss, Glassco 18th, French I'd b, Rollins
Sd b, Drake If, Bissell CT, and Herb
Birum RI. John Lichtwarck was with
the party and umpired the game, Civ
ing excellent satisfaction.
The weekly weather crop bulletin
for the week ending Aug. 81, gives a
spring wheat report from Redwood
county at from three to Is bushels,
and we think the correspondent has
given the average enough range to hit
the mark. Oats are placed at from
eight to 20 bushels, while bsrley is
placed from six to 18 bushels. Over
in Renville county the correspondent
reports an average of Is bushels per
acre, ard we think that the CORE
spondent had vacancy in his upper
story when he sent that report in.
Early sown flax over there is given at
10 bushels. The first and last of the
week was cooler than usual with an
intervening spell Of temperature high
er than the normal. Local showers
we're frequent on Tuesday and We'd
nasday which more or less interrupted
harvest operations in the western and
the northern portions of the State.
The latter half of the week was rain
less. Vegetation has been revived by
the late showers and pasturage, millet
and flax in many places are greatly
The::rains came too late to
be of much benefit to corn and po-
tatoes although in some sections an
in their condition has
been noted. Corn is ripening fast
and some fields in the southern part
of the State are now ready to cut.
The harvest of small grain is nearly
finished, stacking is we'll advanced
and threshing is progressing with un-
usual rapidity, owing to the dry and
clean condition of the grain In near
~ every reported district the actual
yield exceeded those expected. This
gratifying result is accounted for by
the clean condition of the fields, which
we're unusually free from weeds. The
straw was short and on sandy soils
the stand was thin, which also made
them look unpromising. Fall plow-
ing has begun and some winter grain
has been sown. The ground is gener-
ally too dry for rapid advancement
with this work and it will hardly be-
