The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-08-01

Miss Alice Chamb erlain 81 Mar
shall, who has been visiting here
and at Morton for several weeks,
returned home last Friday.
Rev. B. G. Stills, pastor at Lam
berton, has organized two new ap-
pointments in connection with his
charge, one at Wabasso, town on
IA new branch of the Northwestern,
and another at Wanda on the same
line. The pastor has been granted
a vacation Of three weeks which he
lis spending in Minneapolis and
vicinity.
A new time table went into effect
on the Vesta extension of the North
western early last week, and by it
the extension is given two trains
per day, the same as is now given
Redwood Falls by the North west
ern company. Going north the
train leaves Sanborn at ten o'clock
in the morning and again at $40 in
the afternoon. Going south the
train leaves Vesta at in the morn
ing and 12:3Oin the afternoon. The
train crew remains in Vesta over
night.
Miss Fannie Hoyt of Hamline,
who has been an instructor in the
Hancock school of St. Paul for a
couple of years, will probably be
chosen by the school board for the
position OF assistant principal, thus
completing the faculty. Miss Hoyt
is highly recommended by Prof.
Ellsworth, one Of the training school
instructors now in the city, and on
his recommendation the selection
will probably be made. She is now
travelling in France and Germany,
but will return to Minnesota about
Sept. 1st.
The city council will probably
rescind the resolution authorizing
a contract with Leroy Stegner for
the construction of a $4,000 gallon
reservoir near the pump house, for
1890, at the meeting to be held next
Tuesday evening. It appears that
the council was too hasty. The
city charter provides that in all
work Of that character the council
must advertise for bids. In this
case the charter was not complied
with, but resolution was merely
adopted authorizing the contract at
the price named by Mr. Stegner,
after consultation with the latter.
It is stated that two of the members
of the council are opposed to the
construction of the reservoir until
after the dam is completed, they be-
lieying that when this is done the
city will have sufficient supply of
water through the filtering from the
river into the present basin. In
this proposition, Mayor Smith is
said to coincide.
The climate and crop bulletin OF
the weather bureau for the week
ending July %, is as follows: There
were Ii ght and much scattered rains
in the northern half of the state in
the middle and latter part of the
week; in the Minnesota valley and
thence southwark, the rains were
moderately heavy, and ir a few
places very heavy, and they contin-
ued over from the last days of the
preceding week till about the 10Th,
and in some places till later date,
with danger of loss to shocked grain
sprouting and discoloring, and de-
laying harvesting. The midday
temperatures were moderate till the
2lst when they were high, especial
ly in the Red River valley. The
splendid filing of the heads Of spring
wheat with grain of good quality is
reported in all sections, but the
straw is very short except in espec-
tally favored sections. A consider
able acreage of wheat was plowed
under or mown before the rains
came, and blowing is still going on
in Marshall county. Spring wheat
harvest began in one of the south
central counties on the 10Th, the
harvest will be general in all but
the northern counties by the 25th.
Many wheat fields are very irregu-
lar Il in condition, and occasionally
