GRANITE FALLS WINS OUT.

Walter Francois and Horace Jones
witnessed pretty warm ball game
at Cottonwood last Friday, the Cot
tonwoods losing the deciding game
out of a series of three contests, by
a score of two to one. Both teams
had planned to win with the aid of
outside talent, the Granite Falls ag-
gregation having the assistance Of
some well known stars in the anna
teur ball world. Granite had the
game won in the first inning, when
it made the only two runs necessary,
and the Redwood witnesses say that
they might have shut out the other
club by close playing. Cottonwood
had Walter Francois on second base,
and would have given him the job
of pitching after the first disastrous
inning, but the offer was declined
with thanks. The three games were
all close, the first being 3 to in
favor of Granite, the second 2 to 8
for Cottonwood. and the last as
stated, 2 to 1, for Granite.

LAMBERTON TILE WORKS.

G. F. Apitz and Judge Evans were
at Lamberton one day last week, to
inspect the concrete tile machine in
operation there. They were very
favorably impressed both with the
work of the machine and with the
enterprising spirit shown by the
Lamberton men who installed the
plant. A dozen or more men are
kept employed about the works,
Rome Thiering having charge Of the
machinery. About $500 tile daily is
the capacity of the machine, and the
local demand is sufficient to take the
tile as fast as it becomes hard enough
for service. Orders for SOC, 900 tile
for spring delivery will keep the
force busy well along through the
winter, and the stockholders are
getting good returns on their in
vestment. The Redwood visitors are
satisfied that there would be good
profit in installing a tile-making
plant here, to meet the growing
demand for thing the north side of
the county.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS.
Minnesota's Butter Output for Past Year
is Simply Enormous.

From the total production of T..
100000 pounds of butter in 1887 to
an annual increase Of about that
number of pounds in the past three
years is the record of the growth
of the creamery industry in the
state Of Minnesota. While the fig
ures for the year ending July 31st,
1907 has not been compiled, the
total undoubtedly will reach 100,-
100000 pounds, and possibly exceed
that number.
The annual report of State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Edward K.
Slater. which has just come from
the printers hands, gives the details
of the production of butter by the
creameries of the state for 1904. In
that year the total production was
81, ass, 45O pounds. In the next two
years the increase was about Z .000,
600 pounds year and the increase
this year will probably exceed that
amount so that the total produc-
ton for the year will be about
100, 0OO,0O pounds. This relates
only to the products Of the cream
cries and does not include the dairy
butter, the production of which has
also increased in late years, although
the rapid increase in the number of
creameries has put their production
greatly ahead of that of the diaries.
In referring to the creamery sta
tistics the report states:
During the past two years eighty
new creameries have been added to
the number previously in operation,
and this is not only an addition of
quarter of million dollars to the
taxable property of the state, but is
carrying the important industry
more extensively into that portion
of our state where diversified farm
ing is so essential to its upbuilding.
1.-THE figures show an Increase of
z ,OOO, 900 pounds Of butter over that
produced in 1903, a gain of 81, 540,-
600, and this money very largely
goes into the pockets of the farm
ers."
The report shows that in 1904
there were 1926 creameries in the
state, which, with the eighty added
during the next two years, makes a
total Of 905 creameries in operation
in the state on July 31st, 1906.

DIED IN SPOKANE HOSPITAL.
Former Redwood Falls School Girl Dies
from Appendicitis.

John and Henry Kuck Of this city
were last week Informed of the
sudden death of their sister Mabel
Kuck, and a few days later received
some of the particulars attending
the sad event by letter. ii 1t appears
that Miss Kuck had been ailing to
some extent ever since suffering
from an attack of typhoid ]. fever
while living with one of herslsisters
at Spokane. Recently she was adj
vised by her physician...to submit to
an operation for appendicitis at the
Spokane hospital. She survived this
operation for only three days, suffer
ing intensely meanwhile, but was
fully conscious and :uncomplaining
to the last. She was attended con-
stantly during this time by..her three
sisters living in and near Spokane
Mrs. Rathke, Mrs. Keil and Miss
Mamie Kuck-all of whom rmerly
lived in this vicinity. Her brothers
here speak of MabePs peculiarly
amiable and loyable disposition and
beautiful character. She was. mem
Der of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and the funeral on Tuesday
of last week was presided over by
a minister Of that faith.
Miss Kuck was born in Flora
township, not far from Delhi, q
years ago, and with her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Kuck, removed
to this city a few years before going
west. The parents now live at Mos
COW, Idaho.

WAFER POWER COULD BE DOUBLED

State Engineer Ralph inspected
the Miller ditch (No. ~ last Thurs
day, and commended the work of
Surveyor Bigham in running the
levels and distributing the thing.
He recommended that the work at
the mouth be extended lower down
by widening or deepening Grow
creek, so as to prevent possible ov-
erf1ow under flood conditions. Mr..
Ralph was greatly pleased with the
scenery and formation along the
Redwood in this vicinity, and thot
the water power here could be at
least doubled in capacity by convey
ing the water by steel conduits
aroundAthe shog-back' north of the
falls, so as to secure the benefit of
about 100 foot fall from the dam
level. Mr.. Burmeister has had the
project under consideration, and
should the demand for power justi-
fly the outlay, it is not unlikely that
the scheme will be developed at
some future time, giving the city
two or three hundred horse power.

GOLD "REMINISCENCES.
New Ulm Gold Excitement Sug gests the
Delhi Speculation Years Ago.

Old residents of this vicinity will
recall the expensive undertakings
made for gold along the Minnesota
north of Delhi nearly twenty years
ago, and the remains of buildings
and stamping machinery that were
to be seen there up to comparatively
recent times. The following refer
ence to the origin of this alleged dis
covery, from the columns of the
n ew Ulm News, will be of inter-
est in that connection:
While in convention last week
with Capt. Jacob Hinderman, an
early time Minnesota river steam
boat navigator, for some years past
a farmer in Ridgely township, he
referred to the gold fever that ex-
listed for year or two near Red
wood Falls, some years ago, when
several thousand dollars were wasted

.OLIvIA'S CANNING FACTORY.

Mr.. Chapman, the professor at
the canning factory tells us that
rhubarb canning is about at an end,
and that about twelve tons have
been put up this season, says the
Olivia Times. Every bit of it has
been sold at a profit. The canning
of string beans will be begun this
week. A carload of sweet corn was
sold in Minneapolis last week and at
the best price yet received by the
local factory for corn. Two car
loads yet remain to be sold, and
three carloads purchased some weeks
ago by Spokane parties, will be
shipped soon. Corn is now at a high
price and the directors and officers
OF the factory are to be congratu-
lated upon their foresight in hold
ing the corn until good prices pre-
vailed, instead of dumping their
product upon a market at price
below cost of production when the
market was overloaded. The pros
poets now are that that there will
be plenty Of good sweet corn raised
this year. and that the 1907 pack
will be good one.

AFTER THE REMNANT.
Redwood Falls Wins from Sleepy Eye in
a Fast Game Last FRIDAY.

Last Friday afternoon demon
strated the fact that Redwood Falls
has an aggregation of young ball
players to be proud of, and that
ample material is at hand for
first class team in this city in the
future.
The Junior Y. M. C. A. team of
this city played the Junior Y. M. c..
A. team of Sleepy Eye on that after
noon and defeated them in an UNI
usually fast game by the score of
II to a. All the players in the con-
test were under sixteen years of
age, and those who failed to avail
themselves of the opportunity Of
seeing these young men play ball
were indeed unfortunate. The Red
wood boys proved to be great stick
ers, and the way they stepped up
to bat and knocked out safe ones
was sickening to the opposing team
at least. A total of seventeen hits
were chalked up to their credit,
whereas the Sleepy Eye boys only
obtained a total of eight hits through
out the game. Gagnon pitching for
the locals proved to be invincible,
and his support was almost perfect,
while Seifert, southpaw, pitching
for the visitors, failed to be much
of puzzle, and his support was
sadly faulty at critical times.
Some splendid field work was evinced
by the locals, and the ball was kept
in safe quarters most all the game.
Sleepy Eye has been at the head
of the 7. M. c. A. league of Brown
Redwood counties, and having de-
feated Morgan, Springfield and New
Ulm. were considered by the locals
as their most formidable opponents,
but the way is now clearly open for
the championship to land in Red
wood Falls. A return game will be
played with Sleepy Eye in the latter
town, and the Redwood boys expect
to capture that as we'll.

SHERMAN BRIDE WELCOMED.

Rushmore Enterprise.
Through an oversight the wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harm Rust did
not receive notice in these columns
last week and we humbly beg pardon
for the omission as it was uninten-
tional. We are glad to chronicle
the fact that our genial friend, Mr..
Rust, became tired of single blessed
ness and took unto himself wife in
the person of Miss Ellen Wederath,
who at one time was valued
teacher in our public schools. The
wedding took place on the 10Th inst.
and the newly welded people are
makiag their temporary home at
the residence Of the groom S parents
until such time as a home in this vii
lage can be fitted up, when they
will become citizens of Reading,
where Mr.. Rust will manage the
grain and coal business of A. Rust
& Son. Of the bride, we arelunable
to enumerate her graces and accom-
plishments as we are not well
enough acquainted to be conversant
with the same but rest assured that
she is a friend and neighbor that
ono o0,, ho nra,,1 of IN +bo4 M.
Rust chose her for life companion.
Not much need be said as to the
gentleman's standing forl.he has
grown to manhood(and he is full
grown too) in this vicinity and he
numbers the best people among his
friends. We join with a host of
others in extending congratulations
and in welcoming Mr.. and Mrs.
Rust to our midst.

in labor and machinery before the
men engaged in the work were con-
WINGED Of their folly. Capt. Hinder
man gave the origin of that excite
ment in this way, He was assisting
Commodore Hooper of Belle PLANE,
who had contracts for several years
under $4,000 and $4,000 appropria-
tions by congress to remove snags
from the Minnesota river, but each
following year there were what al
most appeared to be the same old
snags, after spring floods in the
river; and when Capt. Hinderman
and Hooper were near Delhi, in Red
wood county, the captain found a
piece of rock that was said to have
gold in it. This caused what was
then believed to be gold bearing
rock in the vicinity and the mining
for it that followed. SO Capt. Hin
derman was the innocent cause of
the excitement that prevailed after
his exhibition of his piece Of rock.
But the captain unfolded anoth-
er tale of gold that may prove to be
more realistic. He says that some
time after the Sioux Indian mas
sacre of 1862, when quiet prevailed,
two Indian squaws came to his place
and told of $4,000 in gold coin that
the Indians had buried a couple of
feet deep during their raid on the
white settlers. The spot was marked
by soaring two maple trees, two
walnut trees and an elm tree, where
the gold was buried in Home town
ship, near the Minnesota river and
not far from Capt. Hinderman' s
home. The squaws searched for the
gold treasure, but without success,
for they said the marked trees had
been cut down, and no doubt the
earth covering had been increased
by washes from the hillside. Capt.
Hinderman as far as we know never
searched for the gold deposit, but
we suggest that if the squaws told
the truth, and the supposition is
that they did, there is in Home
township, If the described spot can
be found, more gold than will be
mined for the next year in the new
ly discovered gold fields in this To-
cality."
