against them by DR.. G. P. Gibson
for services rendered the county
poor. The bill was Tor 1872 or $33.
The commissioners cut it SIG. DIR.
Gibson, brought suit to recover the
balance, alleging that the two visits

The county commissioners nave
made all the banks of the county
repositories of public funds, with
the exception of the bank Of Red
wood Falls and the First State Bank
of Walnut Grove. The former did
not put in application, as it has not
done for several years past, and an
error in the bonds of the latter
made it necessary to- reject its bid.
The license fee to sell liquor in
this city is likely to be advanced to
either $3.50 or 81, 600 for the ensu
ing year, Aids. Peterson and Lus-
cher were in favor of the raise to
81, 600 a year ago, when they were
blocked. This year Aid. Pease is
understood to be pledged to 81. 900,
making three of the four members
tied up to the proposition. It is
possible that a compromise on 500
will be made, however.
The county commissioners have
increased the salary of Supt. Race
to 81 ,260 per year, an increase Of
about $1G0, and equivalent to a
monthly salary of $lO5. The in
crease in the number Of school dis
tricts of Redwood county, together
with the excellent work done by
Mr.. Race in placing Redwood coun-
ty schools at the top of the list
among the schools of the State. was
the cause of the commissioners max
ing the increase.

conferred the degree that evening,

all who witnessed the work.

the southeast corner OF Second and
| Washington streets, which, with
the buildings occupied by the dou-
ble store buildings just east of it. is
to be replaced by the Hitchcock

The first part of the building on the
corner was built in the fall of 1869
for Commodore G. G. Sickle. who
was then engaged in general mer-
chandise. 1t was built by Pulaski

dents of Redwood Falls About

another addition was built, an addi-
tion which will be left standing
temporarily as a supply house for
the builders. The double store
! building just east of the old build
ing was built by Mr.. Sickle about
1889, and when completed it was
thought to be magnificent struc-
ture. That the landmark might not
be entirely erased from history

Terribly Burned

Little Irene Rethlefsen,. about SIX
years old, eldest child of Martin Reth.
lefsen, met with terrible accident
Monday that is not unlikely to result
fatally. Some elder children had been
playing with an old stove on neigh.
boris premises and had built fire in it,
After they left 1t several little ones
managed to rekindle the fire and while
playing about it Irene's clothing in
some manner became ignited. The fire
had burned for some seconds before il
was discovered and extinguished with
rug by Dora Brown and Jennie
Fowle. About third of the child's
body was burned over, the injuries be-
ing most serious on the face, neck
arms, hips and abdomen. Only short
time ago little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Balch was fatally burned
In a similar manner at Mitchell bay.
Parents cannot be too careful about per-
mitting their children to play with fire
or where there is danger from 1T.

products and goods To and from farms
and markets is reduced TO minimum
The essential requirement. of a good
road is that it should he firm and un-
yielding at all times and in all kinds OF
weather, so that it's surface may be
smooth and impervious to water.
Earth roads at best fulfill none of these
requirements, unless they be covered
with some artificial material. The
best road for the farmer, all things be-
ing considered, is "a solid, well-buit
stone road, so narrow as to be only a
single track, but having firm earth
road on one or both sides. Where the
traffic is not very extensive the pur-
poses of good roads are better served by
narrow tracks than 10y wide ones, while
many of the Objectionable features OF
wide tracks are removed, the initial
cost of construction Is cut down one
half or more, and the charges for re-
pair reduced in proportion.
"New Jersey is building more roads
and better roads for less money per
mile than any other state in the Union.
Their roads are now costing 20 to 70
cents per square yard. Where the tel
ford construction is used they some
times cost as much as 73 cents pei
square yard. The average cost of all
classes OF the roads of that state during
the last season was about so cents per
square yard. The stone was, as . rule,
spread on to a depth of nine inches,
which, after rolling, gave depth OF
about eight inches. At this rate q
singie-track road eight feet wide costs
about So, 2,346 per mile, while a double
track road fourteen feet wide costs
about 81, 106 per mile, and one eighteen
feet wide costs about $3.50 per mile.
Where the material is spread on so as
to consolidate to a. four-inch layer the
eight-foot road will cost about 81, ,179
per mile, the fourteen-foot road about
| 81, ,053 per mile, while the one eighteen
feet wide will cost about So, $40 per mile.
"Earth roads are, as rule, the most
expensive roads that can be used, while
on the other hand stone roads, if prop
erly constructed of good material and
kept in perfect condition, are the most
! satisfactory, the cheapest and most
economical roads that can be con-
structed."

To the Editor: The "Good Roads
Agitation rampant in many of
the eastern states, has not disturbed
our equanimity to any appfeciabie ex-
tent, and the prevailing mode of an
nual road repairing is much, as 50
aptly described by poor Bill Nye, like
Playing at making mud pies in the
middle of the road with long-handled
shovels." 1 am informed that upon
San Juan island there is some improve
nent; there is also spot or two indi-
eating an effort at reform on Orcas
One such is i'm Mr.. J. Tullock's district,
Of which they are justly proud, al
though considerably helped by nature
md we shall probably keep this foi
exhibition purposes. According full
measure of praise to all supervisors who
nave in the past effected anything like
substantial improvement, l am bound
10 say that, upon the whole, our roads
are simply abdminable. OF course un-
Ter the existing system it will be i'm
possible to have good roads i'm the full
meaning of that term. l am fully
aware of the difficulties supervisors
nave to contend with and, also, of the
labor and expense of making good
roads, and l do not intend to suggest
the performance of any work not COM
lnensurate with the financial ability OF
The various districts. | wish to point
out the utter waste of time, labor and,
Of course, money in throwing lot OF
soft material onto the roads, and leav-
ing the road fiat, instead of "concave"
for drainage. Where this is done late
in the season the unfortunate traveller
has to wade through mud for the
whole rainy season. / suggest that STU
pervisors select the worst parts on the
main travelled roads and repair then
substantially, by filling up with hard
material, forming concave surface
and providing adequate drainage, and
doing as much as they undertake well,
and so on, year by year. | further sug-
gest that bad places in by-roads should
be repaired by individual effort or with
the cooperation of those TO whom they
are of the most Importance, apart from
their annual dues to the general road
work, and intend to set an example
by filling up some holes in the adjacent
road, although | know some will come
along and take advantage of my inn
provement. One individual once gave
me this as a reason why he did not fill
up hole which let down his own
wagon to the hubs: Some of his neigh
bors would come along who had not
helped. By cooperation few hours
work would in this way effect much
improvement and leave the supervisors
to work on the main roads most I'M
portant to the community. Finally, /
suggest that at some time in the near
future "rock crusher" would pay
good interest on the investment.
