Naturally the teachers will be work
ing to great disadvantage, but
even in these temporary quarters
the pupil can, if he will, be of ma
terial help in tightening the burden
by making the best of the illfitted
school room.
Sanborn Sentinel: The floating
dredger which has been digging the
large ditch in the vicinity of Wanda
for the past four months is west of
Emil Altermatt's house. On ac-
count of the hill the ditching COM
pany was compelled to build a dam
at the point where the ditch leaves
the Eichten slough. The dam is
about 10 feet high and an automatic
pump is used to pump water in the
ditch above the dam to keep the
dredger afoat.
Morgan Messenger: A. A. Garlic
and Geo. Goodell were at Sleepy
Eye Monday to attend meeting of
the rural carriers of Redwood and
Brown counties. The purpose of
the meeting was to organize rural
carriers association which would
comprise both counties. There was,
however, nothing accomplished at
this meeting but another attempt
will be made to merge" the organ
izations at the annual convention of
the Redwood county carriers which
is to be held at Wabasso.
Hutchinson Leader: How about
that order, Don't spit on the side
WALKS fne?" If so, then the
towns treasury must be full and
running over. The expectorations
in front of some buildings on Main
St. would bring in enough revenue
to cover the running expenses of the
public library for some to come.
No public building is free from this
nuisance, the man who spits, unless
it be the church and the reason for
that is apparent-the scarcity of
men in the average congregation.
Foreman ]. E. Kennedy now has a
force of 46 men at work digging the
trenches for the water mains, and
with favorable weather the water
works system will be completed
within a few weeks, reports the
Springfield Advance. All of the
mains in the west end of town are in
and they were tested Monday MORN
ing at ITO pounds pressure for de-
fects. Only two small leaks were
found, which would indicate that
the contractor is doing good work.
The material has arrived for the big
water tower and reservoir and con-
struction work was begun Tuesday.
Bird Island Union: Renville was
the scene of small riot last Satur-
day evening when a number of men
and boys attempted to drive bunch
of Italian working men employed by
the railroad company out of town
by stoning their boarding car. There
seems to be considerable ill-feeling
worked up among the laboring men
of the villages along this line of road
this summer oyer the substituting
of dagoes by the company in place
of local laborers. The Union under
stands that a few of the leaders of
the riot at Renyille were arrested
Monday and fined small amounts by
the municipal court.
Minneota Mascot: Marshal Lee
met with quite an accident last
Tuesday. He was working at the
village engine ouseand had occasion
to go down into what is called the
"pit." He took with him lit liant
ern and when the atmosphere in the
pit" came in contact with the flame
of the lantern there was trouble.
The pit" was filled with gas and
when the light was brought down
an explosion occurred. Mr.. Lee
was right in the midst of the doings
and received the full force of the
explosion. AS a result he was badly
burned about the head and has been
off duty, under doctors care since
the experience.
