There are 100000 miles of tele-
graph and telephone lines in this
country at the present time which
requires 100000 poles. A pole
lasts on an average twelve years and
is made from tree sixty years old.
To maintain a continuous supply five
times as many trees must be grow

in use. Experiments are being made
which if successful will very mater
tally add to the length and life of
the pole.
New Ulm Review: Redwood coun-
ty loses a good man by the retire
ment of S. j. Race from the office of
Of schools of that
county. 1t appears that he has
been offered a good thing to become
editor of a paper in this state,
known as School Education and that
he will accept it at the conclusion of
his term Of Office as superintendent. |
Mr.. Race is known to most of the
educators of the state as man who
has done more for the advancement
of the country schools than any
other one person, and is entitled to
great credit.
On account of ill-health Rev. w.
E. Bates has resigned as assistant
pastor of the House of Hope Pres
byterian church in St. Paul. He
has gone to the state of Washington
and will probably locate some place
on Puget Sound, possibly at either
Everett or Bellingham, both places
he visited few years ago and was
much pleased with their location.
No matter where Rev. Bates may
go the kindest wishes of many
friends in Redwood Falls will follow
him. Since leaving here he has
been like Job Of old, sorely afflicted.
The death of his wife was followed
soon with his own breaking down in
health, compelling him to resign his
St. Paul pastorate, one Of the best
in the state, and where he was be-
loved by the members and congre-
cation of the largest church of his
denomination in the capital city.
