MUNICIPAL TAX LEVY IS
FIXED BY THE CITY COUNCIL

The city council met in adjourned
session last Monday evening for the
consideration and establishment of the
MUNICIPAL tax levy for the current
wear. The levy for all purposes was
fixed at IS mills, divided as follows:
s Indebtedness fund, 6 mills.
Sinking fund, mills.
Bond interest fund, p mills.
Sewer fund, mill.
Current expense fund, 81 mills.
Park fund, I mill.
This levy will raise approximately
the same amount as last year. levy,
the county assessor having made a
much lower average assessment than
heretofore. making a slight raise IN
levy necessary.
The present city council has been
most judicious in expenditures and
the conservative handling of the var
ious funds is putting Pullman finances
IN better condition, and with the levy
of "a for the current expense tunc,
that fund. turned over by the previous
administration in a nearly bankrupt
condition. will be practically out oil
debt by the end of the next year.

SEATTLE BUSINESS MEN MAKE PULLMAN VISIT

The Seattle business mems excur-
sion train that is making tour of the
Northwest, reached Pullman this
morning fifteen minutes ahead of
schedule time, and although the time
at their disposal here was brief, being
measured in minutes when Pullman
would have been pleased to have en-
tertained them for hours. they found
opportunity to greet the most of the
Pullman business men, large delega-
tion of whom, accompanied by the
band, met them at the train. Car
riages were furnished such as wished
to drive about the city, and quite a
number drove up the hill to the col
lege.
Over one hundred of the most prom
inent citizens of the states chief city
were with the train, many of whom
had never been through the Inland
Empire before. The excursionists
spent last night in Lewiston, and after
leaving Pullman, went to Palouse and
other towns up the line. where brief
stops were made.

STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1903.

October 8-Gonzaga College, at
Pullman.
October 1O-Cheney Normal, at
Pullman.
October 17--spokane Y.M.C.A., at
Pullman.
October % University of Montana,
at Missoula.
October "a - Montana School of
Mines, at Butte.
October 30 3O-Bremerton Navy Yard,
at Pullman.
November University of Wash
ington, at Seattle.
November 14-University of Idaho,
at Pullman.
November Whitman College, at
Pullman.
December 5-Carlisle Indians, at
Spokane (not defnite.)
The above is the seasons football
schedule for the State College, revised
and up-to-date.
That the State College football
eleven will be busy during the coming
season is made evident by the schedule
of games stated above, which were
announced by Manager j. H. MaCros-
key, of the Crimson and Gray eleven.
Lately it has been found that it will
be practically impossible to meet the
University of St. Louis team, in st.
Louis. and the Carlisle Indians in Spo-
kane. McCroskey today said that il
1t were choice between the two, Car
Isle would have the preference. 1t is
quite certain that one or the other OF
the big games will be played, and now
the chances seem to favor Carlisle.
This week the local management re.
ceived word from the University OF
Colorado team, stating that the latter
eleven would play the st. Vincent,
California, team during December
and asking if game could be arranged
with W.S.C., which could be playeC
either in Spokane or Pullman. Owing
to the heavy schedule already arranged
it is doubtful if Manager McCroskel
can make room for the Colorado game
but this will be done, if possible. TIL
matter is now under discussion.
The game with the University O.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1908-09-25

Washington will occur in Seattle, this
now being definitely settled. Earlier
in the negotiations, it was the con-
tention of the W.S.C. management
that the University team should come
either to Spokane or Pullman, mas
much as last year W.S.C. went to
Seattle for the game. Rather than
cancel the game with the University,
McCroskey has agreed to again cross
the mountains with his team, the ad-
ditional agreement being that next
year the W.S.C. football management
shall name the date and the place for
the game with the Western Washing
ton institution.
Coach Walter Rheinschield is now
in Pullman and the squad is out for
practice. All the oldtimers are not
back, but there is much new material
at hand, all of which is fairly good
H. E. Goldsworthy, right end, is out
by graduation, leaving Foran and
Galbraith to contest for his place.
Miner, left end, will not be in the
game this year, and it is not yet GER
tain that George Hardy will be back
in school to take this position, or that
the conference rules will permit him
to take it if he does return. Mont
gomery, of the 'O7 team, will probably
fill this position. In the backfield,
Jerry Nissen Will not return to his po-
sition at left half, so far as is now
known, leaving Ned Cheeley, a new
man of some promise, and Coahn, of
the '0l team, to contest for that posi-
tion. r. M. RAIDER will return to his
position at full.
1t is too early in the season to state
of what qualities the W.S.C. team
will consist this year, but it seems
that it will be much lighter in the
/ line than last year, and it will GER
tainly lack in speed on the ends and
in the backfeld, unless new material
developes. Miner and Goldsworthy
are gone from both ends, and Nissen
is lost from the backfeld. Bryan
will not return to school this year, sc
Rheinschield will have to build up ;
new quarterback, with nothing of ;
known quantity in sight.

The present operating room, which
is in the north end of the building,
will be extended in space principally,
the present equipment being adequate
to handle the most serious cases. In
this end of the building also, will be

rooms on the third floor, and possibly
on the second. All three floors will
be fitted up with modern baths. steam
heat, and other necessary accessories
of hospital work.
The first floor of the hospital will
be used exclusively for medical cases.
The second will be occupied by the
surgical cases, and the third floor will

The lectures will begin on October
lst, of each year, and continue for

supplied by the physicians, and the
superintendent of the hospital, and
will include all the general principles

obstetrics, and massage.
The nurses will reside at the hos
pital, or nurses home. which provides
board, lodging. and laundry to a GER
tain amount. They will serve their
first half as juniors; during the sec
ond half they will be expected to per-
form any duty assigned to them, either
to act as senior or head nurse in the
hospital. or to be used for private
cases.

Last year a like excursion train
from Seattle came through here, but
as the letter making a date for Pull
an miscarried, the visitors entered the
city unannounced, and some of the
coast citizens felt that our people had
slighted them, but they saw this
morning that Pullman is there with
the goods when she knows her guests
are coming.
A reception committee from the
commercial club left in two automo-
biles this morning for Moscow. where
it was expected the committee would
join the train and come on to Pullman
with them, but as the train left Mos
COW earlier than was announced here,
the autos got there just in time to see
the trail of smoke that the train left,
and the reception returned to this city
by auto, getting here before the train
left. Otherwise the plans for the re-
ception of the excursionists were
carried out as planned.

Primaries Next tuesday.

AS this is the last number of The
Gazette before the primary election,
we take the liberty of calling the at
tention Of the voters to the import
ance of taking time to go to the
primaries, after fully informing
themselves about the various candi-
dates. The Gazette has followed
the policy of hands off as rule so
far as personalities are concerned,
but it believes that it is fully war
ranted in urging voters to be loyal
to their convictions first and to their
friends, regardless of interested adj
visers. Here at home we have
number of candidates whom we
would like to see get a good home
support. regardless of what the
county at large may do with them.
| A. D. Stewart. for Representa-
tive, has strong claims as a public
spirited citizen of Redwood Falls and
vicinity, as we'll as for being out
spoken for the things that good citi-
zens generally stand for. We would
like to see Andrew Loyalty supported
by his neighbors, and we believe he
will be:
Another local candidate who ought
to get about all the votes in this
vicinity is N. V. R. Hunter. Nick
is splendid accountant, with plenty
of backbone and common honesty to
insure his making good. He may
be and probably is poor politician,
but he will be 1.-The goods" as an ac-
commodating and absolutely reliable
official, as he has been as a citizen.
Dan Mclean is another home man
who deserves well, and who is likely
to be pretty nearly the whole thing
up in Delhi, where he has lived the
most of his life, and we predict that
the northern part Of the county. par
ticularly, will be strong for Mack. !"
His character and qualifications are
of the best. We are not ignoring
Mr.. Warner, whom we have always
commended as an official hard to
beat, but we frankly think that the
feeling in regard to long service in
that Office will make him less strong
as a vote-getter.
Perhaps the same principle may
apply to the judge Of probate con-
test, but as we have before stated,
Mr.. Bell had a late start and his OPP
ponent has always commanded a
tremendous popular vote.
Most of what we have said above

power, if it was granted, and to sell
the city light somewhat cheaper
than the city is now paying.
The council were favorable to any
prospect that seemed to advance the
welfare of the city and to secure a
greater use of waterpower, but
were not disposed to give any ex-
elusive franchise to anybody. They
invited competition but were not
disposed to create any monopoly.

franchise were granted he could ex-

The method of showing honor to the

staff-is described in article Al, par.

regulations as follows:
where the flag is displayed at halt
staff it is lowered to that position
from the top Of the staff. 1t is after,
ward hoisted to the top before it is

is unwise to trust the best man in
the city with unlimited power to
handle these natural forces we have,
and it is safer to hold this check our
selves than to let it go into even
competing hands. If the Wherland
deal does not go through, then the
city should take the property. The
Gazette leaves the solution Of the
problem to the council and public
spirited citizens with the full con-
viction that the interests of the city
will not be sacrificed. The situation
is an important one and our people
should watch it closely and aid the
council to do what is best.
NOTES.
Everybody had an opinion and
hardly two the same one.
The meeting was quiet one but
the interest was evident.
Wherland would be a good man
for any town to secure and is a hust
Ter.
Our citizens would not stand for
any monopoly that would drive
Bur" out of business.
We have the scenery and now we
want the factories.
The council is looking for Compel
ition; it will not allow anybody to
have an exclusive franchise.
Mill lot No. 10 is a check on mill
lot No. 2 and the two should not be
merged in any Individual right.
Its possible to hear paper read
and go away without knowing what
it means; if the franchise were
granted neither the city nor citizens
would be bound to take up any
money or take up any stock.
The provision to first offer stock
to citizens does not bind any of them
to subscribe for any. It's a safe
guard only, proposed by Mayor Phil
brick for the benefit of the people
here.
Burmeister has more warm friends
than any other one man in Redwood
Falls. Any proposition to freeze
Bur" out would meet a frost.
Everybody wants to give him an
equal show.
It pays to treat people right and
make friends in the town in which
you live.
Don't worry about the council
putting up job" It's a clear
headed body of business men, anx-
ious to care for the interests of the
city. Nothing crooked is going to
get forced through before that
crowd.

sition: If any considerable number
of houses were vacant what would
real estate be worth in this city?
What would it sell for? Then take
out the number Of families who are
living here almost wholly on account
of the schools and see how many
vacant dwellings you would have.
Probably fifty at the lowest calcula-
ton. Half that number would re-
duce the selling value of all property
from one-third to one-half. If no
tax were levied for school purposes
at all it would take higher rate to
run the city than it does now for the
valuation would be cut down so the
rate would b e tremendous. You
could hardly give property away in

agreed to take lights it would be
binding and would prevent any other
contract or arrangement for buying
street and city light. The ordinance
does not contain any such contract
as drawn.
AS there is no feasible place for a
dam between mill lot 10 and the
Nelson dam at North Redwood, the
Importance of the situation can be
grasped readily. AS long as the
power on mill lot 10 is not united
with the power above there can
never be any dangerous monopoly
of electric power here; as soon as
the two are combined there is no
competition possible, except through
the Nelson power below us. For
reasons not necessary to give here,
this is not as full a check as mill lot
No. 10 is to any possible monopoly.
REDWOOD FALLS SHOULD OWN MILL
LOT NO. TEN.
1t is the opinion of every one who
has looked over the field that the
title to mill lot No. 10 should not be
allowed to pass into the hands of any
one, but should be secured to the
city. With the title to this lot the
city can install its own plant and be
Independent at not very large cost
at any future time. The fact that
it would be able to do this would
probably not make it necessary to
build the dam or use the power. 1t
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-09-09

the city. Think this over and see if
you can figure it out in any other
way. Without the schools grass
would grow on main street.
The Gazette does not advocate
faddish or extravagent appropria-
tons for the school. 1t believes
that there should be as much econo-
my as possible, consistent with eff
cheney in school affairs. 1t desires
only to give our schools the credit
they should have in building up the
town. That's all, but they do not
always get that much.
