Mr.. REACHES SUCCESSOR.

Through an oversight, the recent
sale of the Redwood Falls creamery
to Rud Stensvad of Hull, Iowa, was
not chronicled in last weeks Ga
zette. Mr.. Stensvad has credentials
that certainty entitle him to an
introduction as desirable citizen.
He has just sold the Hull creamery,
which he took hold Of when in a
broken down condition and built up
to point where it sold for $4,000,
and is ambitious to make just as
good record here. 1t happens that
Mr.. Keachie has done good deal to
put our local creamery on it's feet
in the few months he has managed
it. so that Mr.. Stensvad will not
have to begin at the bottom in work
ing up business here. Mr.. Keachie
has sold out ON account of rheumatic
trouble. necessitating his leaving
here for treatment at an Iowa sani-
tarium, and while sorry to lose him
as a citizen, it is some compensation
to know that he is to be succeeded
by a creamery manager ambitious
to enlarge his business and fnan-
cially able to do so.
Mr.. Stensvad is a heavy stock
holder and part owner with his
brother of the Conner State Bank at
Renville, and his coming here is
probably due to his interests in that
city.

TELEPHONE CHANGE.
Rural Telephone Co. Will Handle Bust
ness Over Their Lines.

The Rural Telephone directors
were in conference last Wednesday
with Supt. Alex. Williams Of the
Minnesota Central, and the two
companies entered into an amicable
agreement to have separate local
control Of their respective lines with
out putting subscribers to any addi-
tional trouble or expense. Hereaf-
ter, rural subscribers will be waited
on here by an operator Of their own
company, at their own Office, and
their calls for city phones will be
switched over to the Minnesota Cen
trail operator. On the other hand,
city patrons will call for rural SUBJ
scribers as heretofore, but the Cen
trail operator will transfer the call
to the rural operator, who will be
responsible for its transmission.
The conference and its results ap-
pears to be satisfactory to all parties
interested. A written agreement
was entered into, subject to cancel
lation by either party after thirty
days notice, but it is anticipated
that the new arrangement will do
away with the friction between the
two companies experienced under
the old arrangement, by placing the
responsibility for any defect in serv-
ice where it can readily be traced.

SUPT. BEBERMEYER'S ANNUAL.


SUPT. BEBERMEYER'S ANNUAL.
Having just completed our reports
to the county auditor and the state
superintendent, statement concern
ing the schools and the educational
progress may be in place. In gen.
eral we have found the school
boards very willing to do anything
that might tend to improve the
conditions of the schools.
During the summer several dis
tricts have erected new buildings or
enlarged and improved the old ones.
North Redwood built an addition
for the purpose Of adding another
department. Thus this will be placed
on the semi-graded list this year.
The boundary lines of districts Nos.
z, 8 and Is have been changed for
the purpose of equalizing the terri
tory contained in each. The change
will improve each school affected.
In consequence of this change dis
trict No. 8. Rowena, has been en-
abled to erect an excellent $500
building. At the present time the
problem to be met in Redwood coun-
| ty is not the organizing Of new dis
tricts but the rearranging of the
boundaries Of the old ones.
Gradually the terms Of school are
being heightened. The coming year
we have gained in the aggregate 16
months. Some districts have changed
from Z to 8 and others from 8 to
months.
A very commendable move on the
part of many school boards is to
have the floors scrubbed once a
month. Boards doing this can con-
sistently insist that teachers do their
part in keeping the room clean and
tidy. However, the improving Of
the inner conditions Of the school
property is not the only thing
thought of. That the identifying
of the grounds is considered just as
important, is evidenced by the fact
that 1859 trees were planted the
past year. Nevertheless there are
still a few districts that are excep-
tions in this respect and we hope
that example set may influence
them enough to fall in line this year.
During the year just ending 5185
pupils were enrolled in all of the
schools. Of this number 4474 are
entitled to apportionment. Thus
701 pupils did not attend 40 days,
two months merely, the required
time to draw state money. This is
a loss of nearly $4,000 for Redwood
county. While it is never possible
for all pupils to attend 40 days, we
do believe that $4,000 might have
been saved if the parents of many
had taken more interest in the
training of their children. How
ever, it is not the pecuniary loss
that we regret so much as the loss
of an education to the individual
child. We must and will do better
the coming year.
The attendance in all districts
would be materially improved if
suitable barns could be built SO that
pupils could come to school by team.
A number of districts have done SO
and have found the difference in
attendance very marked.
On the whole, our corps of teach
ers has been an excellent one. Con-
corning their qualifications we would
say that we had eight college, Al
normal and 81 high school gradu-
ates. The remainder, while not
graduates, had attended either the
one or the other. Nearly rs per
cent. Of all teachers hold first grade
certificates.

could not agree that the commanders

The constitution made the president
commander-in-ch of the army with

Spooner. He read from the decision
OF the Swayne case in the court of
claims, that congress may reduce or
abolish the military forces, but so
long as there is force the command
er-in-chief is supreme. This decision
set forth the view that the powers Of

MACHINE MINING is IMPORTANT
President Mitchell, Of United Mine
Workers, in Annual Address, States
That Fourteen Per Cent Of situmin-
Gus Production Was Machine Mined
Last Year-Must Preserve Character

| Indianapolis, Jan. 15-The eighteenth
annual convention of the United Mine
Workers of America opened here today
with 500 delegates from the bituminous
districts, and twenty-five from three
districts of the anthracite field. The
decreased attendance Is due to the fact
that no wage scale is to be discussed.
| Indianapolis, Jan. 15.-In his annua;
address before the United States Mine
Workers of America, President Nit
chell said that the past year had been
the most eventful, with it's suspen-
sion of work to enforce the restora-
ton Of the wage scale Of 1903, and
he believed the policy adopted had
been for the best. While the member
ship showed a decrease of 3S,910 on the
records. on account of the exoneration
from dues Of many members who had
been on strike, there had in reality
been an increase. The anthracite field
shows a decrease Of 1920 members
The president insisted upon increased
activity in the organization. For the
first time in years, the organization
was practically free from strikes Less
money is being expended by the un-
ions for idle men than at any previous
time, The address urged the -estab-
lishment Of an interstate conference.
and recommended that the executive
committee negotiate with the opera
tors of the central competitive field

state meeting prior to April, 1908.
To show the Importance of machine
mining, the address stated that last
year IA per cent of the bituminous
production was machine mined At
tention was called to the increasing
number of casualties in the mines.
Legislation was asked for, providing
for the examination of persons per-
mitted to be employed in mines.
Vice President T. I. Lewis, in his re-
port, deplored the action of the last
national convention of miners, in
adopting the policy permitting the
signing of wage scales by districts
locally. He insisted that the organi-
zation must maintain a national char
acter, and claimed that as the result
of the action last year, the member
ship Of the organization has decreas-
ed $4,000. Lewis insisted that the, need
