the beauties of his section in this
city last Friday.

sonal property tax collections, after
the rush early last week.
Hicks predicts a stormy weather
program for March, with regular
blizzard about March 24th. His
first storm period, beginning March
Sd, got side tracked somewhere on
its way here.
Frank Jaehn, the genial Spring
field contractor who put up the
Francois and GAZETTE blocks, is
booming new silo continuance in
connection with this year 5 build

The reported fact that the Great

bearing on their proposed new line
from Hutchinson southwest.

The new suspension ferry at

Three hundred passengers and six
teams can be carried over the canal
about lao feet in the air and deposit
ed on the other side in about a min
ute. Things always did come high
in Duluth.
Redwood Falls was not represent
ed last Saturday at the meeting of
the Southwest Minnesota Athletic
league, at Mankato. The field day
exercises fail to get enough interest

money as we'll as muscle to win out
along this line.
The new chief executive of Min

put all slot machines out of bust
ness. The Journal ,editorlally ap-
proves, and declaresethat these in

The first of April is said to be the
date set for the change of time on
the M. & st. L., after which time
the morning train will leave here at
least an hour later than heretofore.
While this change will not give the
best of satisfaction to business men
here, it will make life for the train
men little easier, and accommodate
some of the towns west of this city.
That spring should arrive in the
middle of February in this latitude
is thing SO unusual as to be re-
Jected by most citizens, but here it
is. Farmers tell US that there is
nothing but the almanac to prevent
them putting in seed in many locali-
ties. The temperature is so warm
even in the morning. as to make
overcoats burdensome. Some of
our high school girls have estab-
lished new record by picnicking
along the Ramsey the last of Febru-
airy. And few days ago wild
ducks were reported on the move.
'This is not the first time spring
has come in February, said a vet
eran Minnesotian, but the other
time we had bad frost IN April.
Here's hoping history will not re-
peat that record.
