ends were also made by both teams.
The Granite boys were fine, gen.
tlemanly fellows and left here with
the good will of everybody who met
them. With a longer training the
team will be dangerous as they have
some star players. AS it was the

Samuel R. VanSant, the last Re-
publican governor of this state, has
promised Secretary Dornberg that
he will be here next Friday evening,
under the auspices Of the Republican
state committee, to address the peo-
pie of this city on campaign issues.
The governor has been heard here
before and may be depended upon
for a rousing talk. After securing
Gov. VanSant Mr.. Dornberg was
able to get a promise from Secre-
tary Julius A. Schmahl to take part
in the meeting also, and there is no
doubt of the meeting bringing out
a crowded attendance at the court
house, which has been secured for
the occasion. 1t is possible that this
will be the last opportunity for hear
ing Republican speakers Of state
reputation in this county, as the
state committee is not financially
able to supply the demands for good
speakers throughout the state for
the week before election. Let the
Republican clubs of surrounding
towns get busy and make a good
showing next Friday evening.

NORTH REDWOOD REPUBLICANS
Serve Hot Coffee, and Simpson and
CIague Warm Up with Republican
Doctrine.

North Redwood Republicans GER
tainly set the pace for getting out a
crowd last Thursday evening, the
members of the Taft-Jacobson club
extending personal invitations and
providing sandwiches and coffee af-
ter the speaking for all corners. The
band down there being out of prac-
tice and unable to get its members
out, the Redwood Falls band was Sc
cured to give the rally good send
off, and as usual acquitted itself
with credit. Shoemaker's hall was
well filled with an audience which
the speakers declared a model one,
with goodly sprinkling Of ladies
and school-boys.
Chairman Fleischer first intro
duced Senator Clague, who gave his
audience the right doctrine as to
their duties as citizens to vote and
unite themselves with some party
in order to be real force in carry
ing out the policies which they be-
lieve best for the state and nation.
He contrasted the training of Taft
and Bryan and emphasized the i'm
portance of the training of the
former as judge, Philippine commits
sioner and Secretary of War for the
highest office in the nations gift.
Assistant Attorney General Simp-
son followed with thorough ex-
PLANTATION of the relation of the diff
ferent executive branches of this
state, showing where the state audit
or, secretary of state, state treasur-
er and attorney general had each
established record for saving to
the state large amounts in the en-
forcement of penalties and taxes.

amounting to half million of dol
lars or more. This part of his adj
dress was educational rather than
interesting, but he gave it point to
show that the governor had absolute
ly nothing to do with the reforms
and economies wrought out by these
Republican officials any more than
he had to do with reforms worked
out by Republican legislatures. He
concluded with striking arraignment
of the good accomplished by the
passage Of the farmers elevator
laws, the "Y" law, the law provid-
ing for the sale Of state timber to
the highest bidder and other meas
ures, all of which originated in acts
framed by J. F. jacobson.
Both speakers were listened to
with close attention, momentarily
interrupted by Democratic spiritual
manifestations, through the medium
of pair of visitors from this city,
which Chairman Fleischer put stop
to in decisive manner.
Hot coffee and sandwiches, served
in the hall, closed the program, and
the crowd, which included delega-
lions from this city and Renville
county, dispersed with warm spot
in their hearts for the hospitable
and their ladies in our
sister town on the Minnesota.

ELECTRIC POWER PLANT
City Council Authorizes Franchise to
A. c. Burmeister for EleC-
trio Service.
CITY GETS FINE NATURAL PARK

The franchise is an ACCOMPLISHED
fact, the only change being that it
was granted to A. C. Burmeister.
who also took over the option con-
tract held by Mr.. Wherland to the
Cuff mill property. This gives con-
troll OF the water power on the Red
wood to Mr.. Burmeister. The
council also granted a fifteen year
contract for lighting the city at
much reduced price over present ar
rangements and is to have all night
service within a short time. The
city also through the arrangements
gets the use of the Redwood Falls
and surrounding property for park
purposes by deed.
The incorporation will now be
pushed and the promoters are intend
ing to greatly increase the use of
the water in the river. On the Cuff
property is solid mountain of rock
and this will be investigated for
crushed rock possibilities in connec-
ton with the new. By simply cut
ting fiume through the neck of
this ridge fall of about 100 feet
can be had in few rods below the
present mill. The new company
also will sell power to near by towns
for lighting purposes and expect to
Increase the use of electric power
inside the city, as they insist they
can beat the gasoline engine on even
terms.
Mr.. Burmeister is too we'll known
to need any commentator from The
Gazette and our people are to be
congratulated that he will be at the
helm in the organization. Mr..
Wherland, the other active man, is
a new conner, but has made very
favorable impression on our people.
He has been greatly attracted with
the advantages of Redwood and has
left good job at Aberdeen, S. D.,
to come here and take chances.
Among other possibilities is an en-
largement of the mill, this only de-
pending on getting decent side
track facilities from one of the two
roads. The change at the least
means several new families in town
as the present force will have to be
increased. Mr.. Wherland has an al
tentative to the fume over the ridge
and may carry the water near it's
present bed down to the Little
Fall" and thus secure another use
of the water after it has run the
mill and power plant. The fall is
about two-thirds as great as through
the ridge and will be ample for most
of the work they contemplate, the
other expense being conditional on
needing the extra power.

EVANGELIST MAHOOD COMING NEXT WEEK

The coming of Evangelist Mahood
and his assistants, Rev. and Mrs.
George. who open series of meet
ings in this city Thursday evening
of next week, makes the following
testimonials concerning the evange-
list timely. DR.. j. Wilbur Chapman
writes the following concerning DR..
Mahood:
REV. J. w. Mahood, D. D.. has
few equals as evangelist in the
United States. He is so safe and
sane in his methods, SO evidently
consecrated in his life, so considerable
of the pastors with whom he labors,
and so DESTROYS of seeing people
brought to Christ, that wherever be
has gone the people have received
him with delight, have followed his
ministry with enthusiasm and have
counted his evangelistic effort, so
far as | know, in every case a sue
cess"
The committee in charge of the
meetings at Cheyenne, Wyoming,
issued a card in the Cheyenne Tri-
bune in which it said. of Mr.. Ma
hood:
"Mr. Mahood is one Of the great
est evangelists in the United States.
This is the testimony of those who
have heard the men who are con-
sidered to be the best. He is schol-
arly, cultured, of a fine fbred ma
ture, keenly sensitive to the fitness
of things, absolutely loyal to the

F. G. Rud, an Illinois corn raiser,
visited the family of Theo. Biggers
of Paxton last week, and became
sufficiently impressed with this Sec
ton as corn country to make in
quiries for farm for rent so that
he could test the matter for himself
the coming year. Mr.. Rud reported
the country badly dried up in north
ern Illinois and southern Wisconsin,
and says that there was no pastur-
age in his section through the most
of the summer, farmers having to
feed grain to all of their stock for
some months past. It has been a
discouraging season in that section.
