met with trouble again and again through
the denseness of farmers who refused &c
obey the rules of the road. Some whose
Phorses forced them into trouble cursed the
Pathfinder. while others escaped with a
good-natured laugh from possible trouble
and promised to do better the next time.
The ignorance of many a farmer has
brought him trouble, but it is the auton1o-
bile which is always blamed, as Il matter
Of course.
Old-tfme methods employed in cycle rae
ing days entered into the promotion of the
late ace meet at the Brighton Beach
track and the promoters found the Racing
Board Of the American Automobile Asso-
citation quite as prompt in dealing witt
their affairs as was the case with the Rae
ing Board OF the L. A. w. or N. c.. A. con-
trolling bodies in the days of cycle racing.
Messrs. Pickens and Bailey and John NJ.
Gates, their hacker, were cut off from all
future chances of promoting meets and
the field was cleared for action in good
style. Cycle riders who suffered from ac-
tons of promoters such as those attempted
upon Montague Roberts and other winners

parent efforts of the A. A. A. to defend
their rights while competing in the auto

number of Autos in United states.

Number of Autos In United states
According to statistics, there are 20S,63O
automobiles owned in the United states,
or this was the number rather some time
ago. In such event it is surprising that
in ninety days only ninety deaths occurred
in the automobile field. Men buy automo-
biles who nave no more right to run them
than they have to fly, and somehow the
authorities will allow telegraph posts and
trees to grow beside the roadways and
bitches to exist and the railroads will per
sist in crossing the roads at grade. 1t is
presumed that 100000 owners drive their
own automobiles or have drivers for them,
and one of that number killed in each day
of the month is not so very many COM
pared to deaths from trolley cars, wagon
and railroads. But accidents to automo-
fbiles make better news than accidents to
trolleys and wagons, so more prominence
is given. Providing the critic will follow
the reports of accidents with care he will
find that nine-tenths of the number are
caused by pure earelessness and nothing
else, and the average driver of any rig.
without care, might have suffered IN a
like way.

WILL
CONDUCT A
CLUB RUN
About 100 Local Motorists
to Take Part in Trip to
HackettStOWn Sept. Is.

After many vain endeavors to arrange
a meeting for the fall season, the New
Jersey Automobile and Mtor Club has
finally been successful in selecting Hack
ettstown as the destination of a club run
to be held on Sunday, September 10. The
usual program Of the local motorists Will
be followed. the autoists assembling at the
American House. at l O'clock. Though II.
A. Bonnell. secretary of the organization,
has not vet received answers to notices of
the run sent out on Thursday, yet he feels
confident in making arrangements for a
hundred motorists on the tour.
Many sorts OF motor contests have been
considered in the last few days by officials
Of tho New Jersey club, but 1t seems hard
to find anything suited to local condi-
lions. 4 twenty-four-hour nonstop con-
test aver bad roads has received the most
favorable All idea of holding an
event on election day has been aban-
doned. as a race run then would conflict
with the automobile shows.
william II. Llnkroum and Luther w.
Smelser. of the Lozier local agency, left
this city yesterday afternoon for Morris
Park racetrack. where they are now COM
netting In the 24-honr endurance race, ana,
of course, expect to win out. They are US
ing the same 4O-horsepower regular stock
car that was used In the Point Breeze anu
Brighton Beach races this summer, in the
last OF which they finished second, owing
TO their oil tank not being properly piped.
This defect, however, has been remedied'
and whilst they are fighting against cars
OF much higher power, such as the Welch'
Matheson, Hotchkiss, Renault DE Diet
rich, Packard and other cars that are built
especinlly for racing, it Is expected that
they will make an excellent showing.
The fact that Messrs. Linkroum and
snlelser are both connected with the local
agency of the Lozier makes 1t doubly IN
teresting to automobilists throughout the
State. The race in which the Lozier is
entered started at s o'clock last night and
finishes at s o'clock tonight, and a large
number of New Jersey automobilists will
be on hand to encourage the local men.

complete satisfaction with Goodrich tires.

THE s~ix-cylinder motor" says
Charles B. Shanks, general sales man.
ager of the Winton Company, does
better work than a four having the
same horsepower rating, owing to the
fact thai the gasoline motor is more
efficient in relatively small sizes. The
principle is the same as that govern
ing food for the human being in that
three normal meals per day are better
than two heavier meals per day.
The six-cylinder motor has three
power strokes on each revolution of
the crank shaft, whereas the four
cylinder has but two power strokes.
Power strokes in the six-cylinder over
lap each other, whereas in the foul
1t is impossible to have a fresh power
stroke until the power of the previous
stroke has been completely negatived.
Thus, in the six, power is constantly
applied to the driving mechanism,
whereby vibration and jerkiness are
eliminated, giving smooth n even
driving and luxurious riding.
This steady pull avoids the lag that
recurs between power strokes of the four,
thus enabling the six to use all its power
In driving the car, so that actually less
power is required to be used than on a
four having cylinders of the same total
rating. This means not only economy of
fuel, but also less wear and tear on work.
Ing parts-in other words, minimum repair
bills.
When greater power Is desired han
can be secured from a given size of four
cylinder motor, the size of each cylinder
must be increased altogether more than
the proportionate gain in power or-better
still, six cylinders may be used. And these
six cylinders can be individually so much
smaller than each of the four ~(producing
equal horsepower that weight and length
are as favorable to the six as to the
four.
Other causes that contribute to the
beautiful performance and economy of
operation of the six~-cylinder are:
Perfect carburatlon. owing to medium
size Of cylinders and TO constant suction.
Owing to overlapping of power strokes,
the motor can run more slowly and pull
more slowly h a four. Thus the six
does normal work at a slow engine speed,
which, II attempted with a four, would
bring the motor to a stop.

enables practically continuous use of the
top gear. Gear changes are seldom neces-
sary.
THE six is more silent than a four Of
equal horse power, other things being
equal, simply because a smaller cylinder
discharges a smaller volume and has
therefore, a less violent exhaust. Also,
the exhaust pressure Is practically con.

were an absolutely constant stream II
would be practically noiseless.
The elimination of the jerk on the

PARCEL SHOWER.
friends of the Bride of This Evening
Have a Jolly Time.

Miss Maud Bunce as hostess man.
aged very pleasant social affair at
her home near the lake side last
Thursday, the guest of honor being
Miss Caroline Theiring, who be-
comes Mrs. R. w. Thompson this
evening. Fifteen invited guests
were present, and one of them has
assured the writer that they had
jolly time until the good byes were
said.
The decorations introduced pink
and white hearts with occasional
cupids, arranged so as to create
very pretty effect in the rooms pre-
pared for the gathering. Refresh
ments were served on the lawn, the
abundant shade and dainty repast
being most acceptable to the COM
pany. When the time arrived for
displaying the contents of the var
ious parcels. lot of pretty things
in China, silk and fine linen were
disclosed, making a tempting bride
for the maidens present to be ct"
at similar function some other
summer day.
Tonight at the Christian church
Miss Theiring becomes the bride of
R. w. Thompson, now a citizen of
Flaxton, N. D., but in his earlier
years a resident of this county. Mr..
Thompson is to be congratulated on
making a conquest of lady who
has demonstrated her worth and
efficiency in several years of capa-
bic service in our city schools as
we'll as in the circle of her own
home. That she may long continue
to minister to the happiness of those
about her, and find the truest hap
piness in such service, is the sincere
hope of all of her Redwood Falls
friends.

SOUTHSIDE DAY.
Plan to Get Special Train on Second
Day of the Coming Fair.

In connection with County Attor-
ney Ovens appearance here last
week. proposition was formulated
for engaging the Walnut Grove band
for the second day of the coming
county fair, and making the day
special feature as southside day.
While the arrangements have not
been formally completed, there
seems to be no dissent to the propo-
sition on either side so far, and we
believe that the thing is go. The
plan is to make the second day the
big day of the fair in the matter of
amusements and special features of
all kinds and to have the railroad
arrange the running of the special
train to suit the convenience of our
southside neighbors. with reason
able rate for the round trip. An
nouncement will be made as to de-
tails later, but we look forward to
Southside Day with good deal Of
confidence.

CITY SUED on SIDEWALK LIEN.
Is Made Defendant in Connection with
Mortgage Foreclosure.

The city of Redwood Falls has
been made one Of the plaintiffs in
mortgage foreclosure proceedings
filed the first of this week in Clerk
Warmers office. The action is
brought by Mrs. Nellie Hawley of
Rochester, through her attorneys,
Fraser and Fraser of that city, the
suit being to foreclose the interest
of Mrs. Hawley in the Mill street
property of DR.. VIM. Corpron, the
principal defendant. The occasion
for making the city joint defend
ant is the fact that the city has a
sidewalk lien against the property
amounting to S122.85. which the
plaintiffs attorneys want to have
adjudged as void and unlawful, and
secondary to the claim of the mort
gagor. AS the notice filed in the
clerks office does not state the
grounds of their claim, the object
of the attorneys in making the claim
is not clear to the lay mind. City
Attorney Dolliff will undoubtedly
file an answer, and at this writing
does not entertain the idea that the
contention of the mortgagor regard
ing the lien will be sustained by any
court.

OUR FRIENDS AT LONG BEACH.

Urn Bergen submitted to friend
ly inquisition at The GAZETTE office
last week, about what he had seen
and experienced at Long Beach. He
left Will Wallace and family in the
best of health, and incidentally told
how the former had disappointed
one of the officials of the new bank.
who told Cashier Wallace he would
do well if he ran the bank deposits
up to the hundred thousand mark
the first year of business. Mr..
Wallace thought he could do better
than that, and as a matter of fact
had his deposits up to the hundred
thousand mark in a little over five
months from the time the little bank
opened its doors. Mr.. Bergen says
that Wallace has an excellent office
force and is making friends for him
self and his bank every day as might
be expected. He thought Mr.. Wal
lace would be back in Redwood Falls
this fall, in connection with bust
ness mission in North Dakota.
Another ex-Redwood resident now
at Long Beach is Velora Tenny.
Velora's lines have fallen in pleasant
places SO far as prosperity goes. He
is independent of business cares and
has accumulated enough of this
worlds goods to put him on Easy
street. He has a 81, 900 home and a
faculty for buying and selling real
estate with good margin of profit.
Mr.. Bergen did not talk about his
own business experiences except in a
general way to say that the family
found Long Beach a very pleasant
town to live in. The beach from
which the town takes its name is
nine miles long. and is a favorite
resort for the Los Angeles people.
with four minute service the most
of the day. As an example of the
way people flock there in warm
weather, Mr.. Bergen says that near
~ fifteen thousand people were on
the beach on the 18th of July. Every
day, even in the warmest weather,
a cool sea breeze comes in at 1O
o'clock and continues until evening.

WANDA MAN ARRESTED.

George w. Dubois, formerly agent
for ]. H. Queal Lumber company at
Wanda, but lately in the employ Of
the street railway company Of Min
neapolis as motorman. was arrested
in that city last Saturday, charged
with embezzlement Of $500, says
the Wabasso Standard. The arrest
was made at the instance of the
Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Maryland.
Dubois has been the agent at
Wanda for the Queal company for
nearly six years and was considered
good man. His crooked work was
discovered by the company's audi
tor, E. C. Barton of this place about
four months ago, and was found to
have covered a period of several
years.
Upon learning that everything
was not right at the Wanda office,
Mr.. Barton began a thorough in
vestigation which resulted in the
discovery Of the large shortage and
at the same time he notified his COM
pany and then notified the bond
company. They sent man to Wan
da to investigate but they did not
order that an arrest be made at that
time because. it is said they hoped
that Dubois might be able to make
up the shortage, but this he seemed
unable to do. His plan seems to
have been to collect from debtors
and fail to give credit on the books
to the party paying and also fail to
remit to the company the amounts
collected, and before these amounts
got so old as to receive the attention
of the auditor he would collect 9TH
ers and credit those not RENTED.
Dubois is married and has three
children.
As we go to press we learn that
Dubois had preliminary hearing at
Sanborn before Justice Posi- and
that the case was dismissed on tech
nicality.

Telegraph Dispatches Make a Big Fuss
Over Fake Performance.

Back in Massachusetts they are
making good deal of fuss over the
fact that Rev. John Newberry of
Maiden has donned overalls and is
leading some of the members of his
flock in painting his church. Before
tackling the job the reverend gentle
man made grandstand demonstra-
ton with short service on the side
walk, while his wife served lemonade
for the refreshment Of the toilers
and the other women of the church
sang hymns for the delectation of
the paint-slingers. They do things
differently in Redwood Falls. Here
a plain sky-agent has been working
nearly two years at building a church
from the first sketch for the archi-
tect to the laying out and excavating
for the basement, the mixing and
moulding the concrete, laying it in
the wall, and the thousand different
things that have entered into the
rearing and completion of the finest
edifice in western Minnesota.
The finishing touches have not all
been put on, but the reverend build
er may be seen at most any hour of
the day in overalls and ancient straw
hat, with single helper, completing
the work on the cornices and other
exterior finish. And there is no
brass band or frappe serving in con-
nection either. Just plain everyday
work and lots of it, instead of the
little spasm at Maiden that's herald
ed all over the United States as
something remarkable. Those Bos-
ton people had better come West if
they want to see Ezra down to date.

Redwood Falls as Viewed by One
of Its Journalistic Sons
in Law.
"Has Improved in Appearance Won
derfully in the Last Two
Years."
Mankato Free Press.

Mankato Free Press.
Redwood Falls has improved in
appearance wonderfully in the last
two years. Several new and mod
ern store buildings have been put
up, and the business section looks
prosperous. Among the new build
ings is Christian church, which is
a pretentious structure, with kind
of Grecian style of architecture,
and having large seating capacity.
1t is intended to use this for lectures
and other similar entertainments,
for it has one of the largest audi
forums in the city, and is we'll ven
tilated and lighted by numerous in
candescents about the ceiling.
"The residence streets look neat.
A large amount Of curb and gutter
work has been done, and almost all
of the sidewalks are of cement. A
Minneapolis firm has plant in the
city that manufactures an excellent
quality of blocks, but many of the
walks have been laid by Mankato
contractors. The crossings are most
ly Of cement, with rounded edges,
and as a rule are clean. The other
crossings are of granite blocks set
on edge, and rounded, and are easy
to drive across. but are not as free
from mud when the weather is wet.
Some sewer work is being laid
this year, by the day. The city has
had a sewer system for some years,
and has fine supply of mineral
spring water, under pressure from
large tank, as the prairie towns
generally do.
Frank Lobdell. formerly of this
city. has one of the principal meat
markets, and is one Of the progress
sive business men. He states that
the business men clean their cutters
and sweep the debris into piles
which the city collects. In this way
the business streets have a neat ap-
pearance. He and others were at
work at this when seen.
Redwood Falls has two good
papers, The GAZETTE and Reveille,
owned and edited respectively by
Messrs. Aiken and Peterson. Both
have neat offices and good plants,
and are credit in every way to the
city. They should be well support
ed by the merchants and other resi-
dents.
Redwood Falls is settled by a
very hospitable class of people, and
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-08-14

as rule they take pride in their
home surroundings. Neatly kept
up residences, with well kept lawn,
flowers and shrubs testify to a re-
finement that is pleasing to note.
The public library is we'll patronized,
there are several large churches and
only three saloons.
Peter Lloyd has big farm close
to Redwood Falls. He bought it as
wild land about seventeen years ago,
at about $40 an acre.. and has had
it cropped ever since, and now the
land is worth $50 an acre or more.
Redwood Falls is candidate for
the location of the girls training
school, and as that part Of the state
has no state institution it has strong
hopes of winning. Marshall is sup
porting Redwood Falls. There are
some ideal sites for the'school close
to the city, where the scenery is UNI
surpassed. If the school is located
there, it can be readily reached by
rail from any part Of the state, and
the influences will be of the best.
"The trip between Redwood Falls
and Sleepy Eye at this time Of the
year is interesting mainly on ac-
count of the view of the Ycrops.
These look about as good as they
ever did at this time of the year.
The barley and rye harvest is out of
the way, oats is being cut. and the
wheat crop will be ready. for the
harvest next week, with favorable
weather. Corn is headed and tas-
seled out, ana with frost holding off
as late as it did the past two years
there will be fine crop. No serious
damage from rust is reported any
where.
The western part of the state is
soaked with water. The sloughs are
all full, the springs are running
large streams, and the lakes are
high. Sportsmen will be interested
to know that every body of water
from half an acre up is teeming
with wild fowl. Along the railroad
track mud hens are to be seen in
every wet place, but further back it
is said that ducks are just about as
thick. Nobody seems to know much
about the prairie chicken crop. For
the last few years this has not
amounted to much. and it is sup
posed that it will be fully as good
this year as the past two or three
years."
