CLEVER LITTLE STORIES.

Martin s. Decker of New Palz, one
OF the public utilities commissioners
of New York, tells this story: "Thera
was new superintendent appointed
to a certain school--a jealous man,
but choleric and hasty. on the day
OF his arrival at the school, while
he was working hard in his Office, a
maddening noise arose In the room
next to him. The superintendent
stood this noise as long as he could.
Then he looked over the glass par
tition into the uproarious room and
saw among the noisy lads assembled
a tallish chap who seemed to be max
ing more of a row than all the rest
combined. The superintendent reach
ed out his arm. seized the tall boy
by the collar, dragged him over the
partition and banged him down into
a chair beside the desk. Now he
said, sit still there and don't open
your lips till I give you the word.
Then he bent over his papers and
in the ensuing quietude worked
away busily. Some 10 minutes pass.

peered timidly over the partition and
a meek little voice said: Please

RED WING EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR
Great Quantities of Machinery and Goods
for Exhibition.

If the state at large could watch
the progress being made for the Red
Wing exhibit at the State Fair, Sept.
2-7, they would be astounded atthe
magnitude of the enterprise and the
rapidity with which the details are
being perfected. The first train load
of sixteen cars of materials, ma
chinery, ETC., will be delivered at the
state fair grounds in the course of
few days. More will shortly fol-
low and an army of men will be set
to work rounding the exhibit rapidly
into shape. Red Wing will employ
at least two hundred men to take
care of the various features of the
exhibit. 1t will be readily under
stood, therefore, that the expense
which Red Wing is mourning will be
tremendous and that the exhibit will
be commensurate with the expense.
The manufacturers building this
year will be ready at least two days
before the Fair, SO that when the
gates swing open on September q,
every detail will have been COM
pleted.

of being heart breaking sacrifice. "

There seems to be quite bit of
energy in the plan to build trolly
line from Marshall to Mitchell. Such
a line will eventually be continued
to the Twin Cities and when it does
go Redwood Falls wants to be on it
and in it. We have something to
offer, too. From 300 to 500 horse
power has been going to waste here
and as much more at North Red
wood. We can push those cars
quite a distance on power we are
not using. And we have always
wanted to be where we could run
over and see Whitney of the Mar
shall News Messenger too. Count
on Redwood Falls for the new line.

der the direction Of the state and a
map made showing into what drain
age beds particular lands should be
drained. The state could employ
competent men by the year to DO
this work at much less expense than
it is now doing, leaving out OF con-
sideration non-competency. We pay
$40 per day for such work.
When this work was done, and it
should include also an estimate OF
the expense of constructing neces-
sary bitches, the landowners would
know what they were doing and how
to do it. It would save other sec
lions from repeating the Willow
Lake foolishness. Not only that but
the drainage would be systematic.
Under it water would not be thrown
into Sleepy Eye Creek, which ought
to go to Ramsey Creek or elsewhere.
Proper outlets would be provided
and water would not then be drained
from one land owner to be dumped
on the land of another.
AS the matter is important The
GAZETTE would be glad to get con-
tributions on this subject and it will
answer any questions asked in good
faith, by those who do not fully
understand this question, or desire a
fuller discussion of our present
drainage law.

The Winthrop News contains the
text of petition to the next legis-
lature which, the News says, has
been prepared by Congressman Dav-
is Of Nicollett and is being circulat-
ed along the lower course of the
Minnesota, to prevent the construc-
ton of county and judicial bitches
to drain the upper Minnesota valley.
In short because the river has
flooded few acres of bottom land
in Nicollet, thousands of acres must
remain in permanent slough in the
upper counties. We suppose it will
pass of course. Southwestern Min
nesota is horribly under represented
in the legislature. Redwood with
200 people having one-half Of
the representation in the senate
that Nicollet with less than Is,
900 has under our apportionment;
Yellow Medicine with more people
having one-third as much, and so
on through the list. That's right.
Charlie, a lot of chumps that have
been in the habit of giving each
dinky little county a senator in your
section and dividing one among from
two to four more populous counties
up here don't deserve to get rid of
their sloughs. Sometime we may
wake up and demand fair apportion-
ment and until we do we may ex-
pect just what we have always had
in the state profound Indifference
to any legislation which might help
the sturdy farmers of this part of
the state.
