| March farm last week was we'll at
tended and the sales generally sat-
1 isfactory.
| Robt. Hoppenrath, whose auction
sale was advertised in The GAZETTE,
has leased his farm near Vesta and
is making arrangements to take up
his residence in Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Hoppenrath was resident of
this city twenty years ago, before
moving on to his farm.
It is estimated that fully 200 con-
verts have been added to the
churches in neighboring towns,
largely through the instrumen tality
of Sunday S work in Redwood Falls
The work continues, parties going
out from this city to Morgan, Frank
lin and Renville during the week
past. Before the season closes, the
footing up of results of the Sunday
meetings within twenty mile radi-
US of this city will pass the thou
sand mark on the rollof converts.
Representative Gustav Erickson
of Candy is taking up the matter of
forcing the Great Northern and
Northwestern roads to put in Y
at Marshall, the object being to Sc
cure cheaper fuel for Candy and
| other points on the Northwestern
line west of Marshall. It will be
remembered that the Y at Hanley
Falls was put in only after many
years of litigation, and now that it
is in the question arises as to who
is going to force the railroad com
panies to operate it. The compan-
les not Directing so much to the
construction of these Us at cross
ings as they. are to transferring
cars at these points.
So much good resulted from send.
ing a good seed train through Iowa
last year, from rear platform of
which a speaker told farmer how
to raise corn, that the c.. M. & St.
P. road has decided to try the ex-
pertinent and will start train out
from St. Paul the goth of this
month. Accompanying this train
will be Prof. G. G. Bull of the Min
nesota experimental station, Prof. |
Boss of the state farm school, Prof. |
E. G. Chilcott of the department of
agronomy of the South Dakota agri-
cultural college, A. W. Wheeler,
botanist of the South Dakota col
lege; Alexander Stewart of Mime
apolis and ]. J. Quinn, secretary of
the Tri-State Grain Dealers asso-
citation.
On account of the Commercial |
club report last week, THE GAZETTE
omitted any attempt at report of
the meetings OF Oliver W. Stew
on the 10Th ult. Mr.. Stewart set
up new standard as a speaker
against intemperance, and by COM
mon consent is the most effective
of the abolition of the
LIQUOR traffic ever heard here. His
talk at thescrowded mems meeting
was an appeal to their manhood on
behalf of their children and of the
coming race. He made scarcely
any allusion to legal prohibition,
and wisely admitted that if men
were brought to realizing sense of
their responsibility the saloon would
have to go. AT the evening SER
vice in the Methodist church the
crowded audience was delighted,
and the fact that a collection for
the prohibition cause amounting to
S1S1 was raised at the two services
is the best evidence that our people
appreciate effective work in a good
cause.
There was a lively debate at the
,orum meeting at the NJ. E. church
asst Wednesday, with no lack of
'ratorical fireworks. The question
vas whether, in the campaign {
against the saloon, the emphasis
should be put on legal prohibition
,r on moral suasion. A. D. Smith, I
or the affirmative, contended that
he saloons were running here be-
;ause majority of the voters want |
ID them here presumably for the
financial benefits of the traffic. He
'rgued that the way to get the sa- 8
DON out was to make the traffic un- 9
