inc. The board was induced to
employ him largely upon the recon-
mendation of Supt. Mosher, who
became impressed with the good
work done by the firm in connection
with the building Of the large high
school at Plainview, which is a
model of convenience and comfort.
Mr.. Chandler spent the most of
his time Tuesday and Wednesday in
making a thorough inspection of
the old building. He reported that
the old system had been installed
with good materials and in a work
manlike manner according to the
ideas of fifteen or twenty years ago,
but that much progress had been
made in ventilation knowledge since
that time. The old installation pro-
vided for a fan propelled by a small
steam engine, both of which have
been in the basement for many
years, having been discarded for the
reason that results were not salts
factory.
Mr.. Chandler says that the old
suction theory of fan ventilation is
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1906-08-29

no longer used by heating experts,
most modern public buildings being
ventilatilated by drawing fresh air
into suitable chamber, where it is
warmed to the proper temperature
and forced by what is called a
blower into the rooms to be warmed
and ventilated, provision being of
course made for carrying off the
foul air by suitable conduits. Mr..
Chambers plans will utilize most of
the materials and ducts of the old
building but will necessitate extern
sive arrangements and the install
lation of blower and gasoline or
low pressure steam engine of six or
eight-horse power.
After looking over the sketches
and listening to the statements of
Mr.. Chandler, the board passed a
resolution authorizing the architect
to draw up plans and specifications
according to his sketches, a gasoline
engine being specified for power.
The plans are expected some time
this week, when they will be adver-
tised for bids and installed as soon
as practicable, under a double guar
antee from both architect and
plumber that they will fulfill the
desired conditions.
After disposing Of the ventilating
matter, the board authorized the
letting of contract for replacing
the unsightly and worn out plank
walks at the old school building with
regulation cement walks. Two of
the members of the board favored
walks from the northern and south
ern entrances of the building to the
streets opposite, but after Supt.
Mosher stated that experience had
shown that the average school pupil
would cut across the nearest way
regardless of walks, the board con-
Guided to follow the line of least
resistance and make the walks to
suit the kids, as at present. Nelson
& Co. have offered to do the work at
a reasonable rate, and with good
weather will complete the contract
some time next month. The con-
tract includes cement steps at the
north and south entrances.

COUNTY SACHEMS MEET
Redwood County Democrats Brave Bad
Roads and Bad Weather to
Elect State Delegates.
Committee Appointed to Look for
ecker" in Resolutions Prepared
by Democratic Bureau.

About 20 members of the Demo-
cratic party of Redwood county
braved the bad weather and the
very bad roads last Saturday to
show their enthusiasm and renew
their adherence to the principles of
the party of Bryan and Cleveland.
The meeting place was at Wabasso.
A total of % people were in the
hall, including two newspaper men
and one or two interested people
from the White Rabbit town.
A couple of weeks had been spent
by the active sachems in drumming
up crowd. Precinct placards were
posted in nearly every township
asking for Democrats to unite at
the appointed rendezvous, the local
Democratic organ had been punch
ing the faithful to get busy, and it
was anticipated that if weather con-
ditions were right every precinct
would be represented. But the
weather was bad, and the enthusi-
asm was dampened, and travel by
road was simply abominable.
For instance, only four of the
faithful whirled in from Redwood
Falls. Col. Geo. w. Vaughn, Col.
C. E. Lamberton. Col. J. w. Golden,
and Col. Michael Maher, while Col.
Albert Mcclure Welles took whirl
all by himself.
Eleven delegates to the state con-
vention were chosen. That was
practically all that was done. There
wasn't hint of prospective list of
candidates to file for Democratic
nominations on the county ticket.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1906-08-29

lature was accredited to Gov. John
son, and the voluntary reduction of
grain rates by three northern rail-
roads was also a bouquet taken from
the railroads and thrown at the
governor. A comprehensive investi-
cation of railway rates on farm
products, coal and merchandise, was
favored, and also the wide-open tax
amendment passed by the 1905 Re
publican legislature, was endorsed.
The primary election system was
recommended for the nomination of
state officers.
Delegates to the state convention
were selected by motion at random.
When the list was completed it con-
sisted of Sachems C. E. Lamberton,
George w. Vaughn, John w. Golden
and John P. Cooper Of Redwood
Falls, Leo Aftermath of Wabasso,
Nels S. Lewis and w. G. Costley of
Vesta, John H. Posi- and George
Posi- of Sanborn, and A. J. Daniel
son and VIM. Masters of Walnut
Grove.
George w. Vaughn of this city
was decided upon as the member of
the Democratic state central COM
mittee from Redwood county and
his name will be recommended as
such to the state convention.
w. G. Costley inquired what re-
suits the county organization was
having in organizing for work this
campaign; and Mr.. Vaughn replied
that practically nothing had been
done. He hoped that after the con-
vention the committee would get
busy and take up a systematic plan
of campaign. Leo Aftermath want
ed the delegates instructed for Gov,
Johnson, but the delegates thot this
unnecessary and Mr.. Aftermath with
drew the motion.
A. ]. Weldon, representing Wa
basso, and who will be the candidate
for commissioner from the Second
against Geo. Posi-, stepped into the
hall about this time, and on behalf
of the people of that town, thanked
the sachems for meeting there, tel
ling them that the use of the hall
was given free of charge.
