Morgan Messenger: During the
past week the REDWOOD GAZETTE
issued four-page daily for the
purpose of reporting the Methodist
conference which was in session in
that city. The paper covered the
field thoroughly and proved to be a
money maker and a good advertise
ment for The GAZETTE.
At a special meeting of the city
council on Tuesday evening of last
week it was9 decided to raise by
taxes on all of the taxable property
of the city, $500 for interest on
railroad refunding bonds, 5000 in
terest on water works bonds, $40
interest on steel water tower bonds,
81, 200 for road and bridge purposes,
$500 for stone crossings, $500 for
water works purposes, and 81, 900
for the common fund. In the water
district only 5000 is to be raised for
one-half interest on water works
bonds, $3.50 for one half interest on
steel water tower bonds and $500
for the water works fund.-.
The gross receipts of the Red
wood Falls postoffice during the
past year were S., 122, as against
81, $50 for the previous fiscal year.
The net revenue for the year just
closed was So, 1852. Sleepy Eye and
Marshall both show business
largely in excess of Redwood Falls,
Sleepy Eyes amounting to $40, 497,
probably caused, in agreatmeasure,
by the big milling plant at that
place. Tracy did business of
about $500 more than Redwood
Falls, Granite Falls was $500 less.
Sleepy Eye did larger business
than New Ulm, the latter Office
amounting to only 1898, falling off
of nearly $500 over the preceding
year.
A letter from S. F. Fullerton,
executive agent of the game and

| for that commission for the ship
ment of the moose calf from Thief
River Falls to Redwood Falls.
This is the animal which County
Treasurer Johnson purchased, and
gives to the park association for the
foundation of geological garden.
1t is possible that one or two other
northern animals will be shipped
with the moose calf, and that ar
ran gementS Tor the care OF all the
animals given the association, will
be made Immediately. Mr.. Fuller
ton also states that Mr.. Marty of
the state fish hatchery will be here
in few days with the steel headed
salmon for Lake Redwood. Mr..
Fullerton writes Mr.. Schmahl that
any animals from northern Mime
sofa for the Redwood Falls geological
garden will be given special atten-
ton by the state commission.
