Miss Addie Brigham spent the lat
ter portion Of last week with her
sister, Mrs. E. =. Soaring, in Man
.kato.
Tilson Tibbetts made a trip west
on the Minneapolis & ST.. Louis last
Wednesday, returning on the follow
ing day.
Mrs. b. NJ. Burnham Of Blooming
Prairie, who has been visiting with.
her daughter, Mrs. O. e. Dorm berg,
has returned to her home.
Attorney D. A. Stuart Of Window
was attending to legal business in
this city, and visiting with the fam
lily Of Joseph Chadderdon during a
portion Of last week.
Through the kindness Of the
Messrs. Conway, formerly Of this
county, but now residing IN Califor-
MIA, The GAZETTE has been permitted
to peruse a copy OF the mid winter
number Of the Los Angeles Times,
which is fully up to the high stand
ard set by that paper in its previous
mid-winter editions.
The delinquent tax list for 1901
contains about $50 names atthe pre-
sent time. Before it is turned over
tothe printer it is expected that list
will be reduced toat least 700 names
less than that number.
At any rate, the list is not what it
used to be, when it contained 1000
and ! 800 descriptions. This goes
to show as the county becomes more
wealthy the list of delinquent taxes
grows beautifully less.
Gold, Hitchcock & Bowers to-day
open bids for furnishing so cords OF
rock hauling thesam from the our
ries to their building site on the cor
ner Of Second and Washington
and also for excavating the
basement for their building. The
work of tearing down the buildings
and cleaning up the rubbish, which
makes room for the proposed new
was completed last week.
The cellar under the building which
stood on the corner contains a large
number Of boulders. which were
used in the walls when the. old
building was constructed back in
1868, but while some of them will be
used, the architect figures that so
more cords will be needed to give
the building such a foundation as
their plans call for.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis rail
way company has announced a re-
duction ofl6 per cent in each of the
ten classes. of freight rates between
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Water
boWW South Dakota. as well as in
Jermedlate points. The change is
not only beneficial to the merchants
residing in the various towns along
the line Of the St. Louis, but it. also
assists the jobbers of st. Paul and
in competing with Oma-
Ia, Sioux City and Chicago mer-
chants, inaslnuch' as it applies to the
St. Louis New Ulm division as well
as the Watertown line. This will
force the Northwestern to make a
similar reduction at Redwood Falls
and Ulm, and all other points where
that company is brought into com
pition with the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis. The Northwestern reduction
is likely to be made on the same dav
that the new St. Louis tariff goes
lnlO erect.
The portion of RenviIle county in /
which Morton is. located seems to be
up over the efforts of Editor
keefe of the Enterprise in attempt
ing, through his columns, and in
other ways. TO prevent D. L. Grim
Minis from acting as an auctioneer.
Mr.. Crimmins has conducted sever
al auctions in Redwood county dur
ing. the past year-all of them emin
emily satisfactory, and has conduct
ed nearly 100 in various counties
during the same time, and all par
ties have been highly pleased with
his work. ltappears that Keefe.|
wants a monopoly on the auctioneer-
ing business at Morton, aud has
stated orally and through his paper
