The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1903-05-27

The Canada House, on Mill street,
was sold last Friday afternoon by
Mrs. S. Mcdonald to VIM, S. Crooks,
at one time chief of police of this
city. Mr.. Crooks intends to take
charge of the hotel and conduct it
on the same excellent lines as it
has been conducted by the retiring
landlady, who has been connected
with the hotel ever since it was
built Of late it has been run by
James Doyle, who has been an en-
PERTAINING landlord.
The Andrews Opera Co. failed to
put in an appearance here last Fri
day. Previous to that day the man.
ager notified G. Fred Thompson,
owner of the opera house, that the
company had received hattering
offer for a ten weeks engagement
in an eastern town and that the
management had accepted the same.
Mr.. Thompson released the COM
pany from it's contract and there
was no show Friday night. Hold
ers of seats, who have not already
done so, can call on E. A. Pease
and have their money refunded.
1t is reported that the proper
officials of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis are considering the advisa-
bility of running the east-bound
morning passenger train on a
schedule 45 minutes earlier than at
present SO as to get patrons of the
train into Minneapolis about 9:15
and into St. Paul about ten o'clock,
giving them more time in the morn
ing for the transaction of business.
1t is reported that the train coming
west in the evening will leave St.
Paul about 90 minutes earlier with
the view of getting passengers home
earlier, and also avoiding the rush
for the lake trains which invariably
follows the arrival of the train from
St. Paul at the Minneapolis depot
every evening. Both changes will
be acceptable to the travelling pub
lie.
Supt. Race, in an interview with
a representative of this paper, ar
nounces that he could not secure a
training school for this county for
the reason that he could not get 60
teachers to agree to attend the same.
Redwood county now employs 40
instructors, and of this number 20
per cent. are residents of other
counties and attend training schools
nearer home. An illustration is
afforded by the fact that the villages
of the county employ only total of
five local teachers, and of this num-
Der three are in Redwood Falls.
The fact that our rural schools are
demanding first grade normal teach
ers makes it necessary to call on
foreign teachers in order to supply
the demand, and hence the low per-
centage of local teachers employed
in Redwood county schools.
Hugh Peavey writes from Hutch
inson, Kansas, to the effect that he
has an excellent position with the
Haskell & 'Bosworth Co., of that
city, shippers of butter and eggs.
He says that be likes the Kansas
country far better than he does Ne
braska-in fact, Il think it is the
next thing to old Redwood for a
farming country. Hutchinson is a
place of 10000 to $4,000 inhabitants
and as lively as you could well wish
for. We have been having a very
wet season-mOre rain than we have
had in fifteen years. The heavy
frost which came with the late snow
on May 1st-something which the
people here have not seen before
for % years, which ruined the fruit
crop almost completely, there be-
ing nothing left on the peach. cher
ry and orange trees. If you people
up there were to see the dirty,
muddy rivers they have here you
would 90 swimming in the lake up
there three times a day, and then
