TO TAKE PLACE
OF MONTREAL CLUB

II the National Commission at its meet
ing or January 4 decides to grant the
Eastern League and American Association
certain privileges now being demanded by
these organizations, it is almost sure that
Trenton will get out of the Tri-State
League and drop into the place now occu-
pied by Montreal in the Eastern League.
This fact came to light today, and the
source of the Information was President
Powers, of the Eastern League. The East
ern League and American Association
want the same drafting privileges enjoyed
by the National and American Leagues,
and II they get the privileges the Eastern
League will at once take Trenton, whether
the T1i-State League agrees to the action
or not. President Powers has wanted
Trenton in the Eastern League ever since
the game paid so well In the first season
the Tri-State located there.

TWO bitches
ON THEIR WAY
Judicial Order Filed for Red.
wood-Brown Ditch and
Estimates.
Contract Let for County Ditch
No. 9 to ]. Sherwood,
Litchfield.

AS sequel to the largely attended
term of court held in this city two
weeks ago, an order of court was
filed in the clerks office few days
ago calling for the construction of
the Redwood-Brown county judicial
ditch No. 1, which is the sixteenth
public ditch ordered in whole or in
part in this county. The only towns
in this county directly benefited are
Morgan and Brookville, the assessed
benefit in Morgan township being
stated in the order at S35, 181 and in
Brookville S17.868.5O. In the two
Brown county townships benefits to
the amount of over S62, 900 are list
ed. The total damages are assessed
at $8,302, the estimated cost is placed
at $50, 497, the engineers expense at
81, 1880 and the viewers expense
at 1925. 40, with other official fees to
swell the total cost of the ditch les
timated) to $41. 510.68.
Redwood county has been FORUM
ate in letting most of it's ditch con-
tracts up to date. Almost all of
them have been put through at a
cost under nine cents, and about all
of them considerably below the en-
gineer's estimate.
The last to be let was ditch No. g,
which was bid in last week by Jerry
Sherwood of Litchfeld at 81 cents
per cubic yard and the tile work at
ten per cent below the engineers
estimate. Sherwood has agreed to
start Sept. 25th with one dredge at
the outlet of the Morgan sewer, and
to start another dredge Oct. 1st at
the head of the ditch in Three Lakes
township. Auditor Larson and Sur
veyor Becyar appear to have saved
the patrons of the ditch $1,000 by re-
jecting the two bids received at the
afternoon session for the considera-
ton of bids and calling for another
bid at an evening session. Sher-
woods bid was the sequel of this ac-
ton. Surveyor Becvar decidedly
disapproves of the use of finch
tile which is part of the plan for
this ditch.

Violate Anti-Pass Law.

Charlie Howard and Billy Owens
of this city, after a fierce legal
scrap at Wood Lake last Friday,
grew weary of waiting at the station
for the early morning train for the
east, and to pass the waiting time
concluded to stroll down to Echo
over the ties. Both legal lights held
that it was constitutional and regu-
larto avail themselves of a free pass
to Echo under such conditions and
merrily sprinted along, cheered with
the thought of beating a grasping
corporation out of fifteen cents
apiece. The track had been freshly
ballasted and our information is to
the effect that when the two pedes-
TRANS arrived at Echo they looked
like pair of hoboes and were weary
enough to forego the privilege of
walking the balance of the twenty
miles or so to Redwood Falls, and
took the train home.

contest, but Maud Peterson carried
off highest honors, winning the
medal. Miss Carrie Newton of Nor
ton, winner of both silver and gold
medals, was present and gave the
reading that won the gold medal at
Hanley Falls in June, thus adding
much to the entertainment. Misses
Susie Eaton and Edna Readen of
Morgan each sang a solo which was
much enjoyed. Rev. Palmer opened
his church and gave material aid in
arranging for the contest. Miss
Mildred Aiken and Mrs. Chadd erdon
accompanied the class.

pitably entertained in the homes of
Morgan and voted it grand, good
time, and hope to be able to recipro-
cate in the near future.

and further that the great common
er has a supporter in this state who
claims to be certain of his election.
The hot weather you had at Red
wood found its way here and did
good deal of damage to wheat and
oats, so that now the fair prospect
of month ago has given way to
guessing how great the damage will
prove to be. Flax is still the chief
money crop here, and though dam
aged, is very much better than
wheat. Of course the outcome will
depend largely on the weather from
this on. Have cooler weather now,
which gives the flax a good chance
to fill out. A great amount of new
land has been broken up this year.

Gazette Correspondent Delighted with
Editorial Trip into Canada.

Ed. GAZETTE: Last Wednesday
the Minnesota Editorial Association
returned from twelve days ex-
cursion through Canada. which was
voted by those who had been with
the Association on previous trips as
one OF the most enjoyable they had
ever made.
The excursion was under the per-
sonal direction Of Mr.. Will j. White.
representing the Publicity depart
ment of the Canadian government
who did all in his power to show off
the wonderful development Canada
has made in the last decade, and al
so make each member of the COM
pany as comfortable and happy as
they could be made during the Jour
ney. No small credit is due also the
executive committee Of the Associa-
ton for its untiring efforts on be-
half Of the excursionists.
Having been given the privilege
ofarepresenting The Gazette on this
trip it is perhaps only right that /
should give some of my impressions
of it as requested by the editor
which will give more in detail next
week. For the present it may be
suficientt Ito say that returned home

wealth and possibilities of our north

ception of her grand mountain sc en-
cry than would be possible to one

STATE FAIR RATES CERTAIN.
Great Western Announces a Special Tar
Tiff, and Others to Fall in Line.

Unless all the signs upon winch
the prophets are wont to rely should
fail in this case, the thousands of
patrons of the Minnesota State Fair
will be able to visit Minnesota's
greatest educational and amusement
institution Aug. 31st to Sept. 5 at a
special rate of II cents per mile or
the cents per mile for the round
trip which prevailed prior to last
year.
Regular patrons Of the state fair
will remember that following the
passage of the law fixing 2 cents per
mile as the maximum which the
railroads in Minnesota might charge
for passenger traffic, the railroads
entering the Twin Cities, by mutual
consent, refused to grant for the
Minnesota State Fair of 1907 the
special rates which had been given
for many years previous.
Undiscouraged by this attitude of
The railroads. the American Associa-
ton of Fairs and Expositions began
a campaign early this year for re-
turn to the old special rates for state
fairs in the Middle West. A meet
ing between representatives of the
Minnesota State Fair and other
Western state fairs and the Western
Passenger association, heldlin Chi
cago about two months ago, resulted
in a second refusal upon the part of
the railroads to grant this rate. The
subsequent policy of the railroads in
granting special rates for conven-
tons in various parts of the Middle
West, some of these rates being
much less than Ii cents per mile,
encouraged the state fair officials to
further efforts in behalf of return
to the old state fair special rates.
AS a result of these efforts the
state fair officials were finyited to
meet the executive committee of the
Western Passenger association at
Chic ago last week, and at the cor
clusion of that meeting the executive
committee recommended the grant
ing of the special rates.
The matter was then left to the
decision of the various railroads be-
longing to the association, and has
since been voted upon by wire. AL
though some of the railroads belong
ing to the association maintained
their position antagonistic to the
special rates, it has been the custom
Of these railroads as we'll as all 9TH
ers belonging to the Western Pas
senger association to adopt the re-
ports and recommendations of the
executive committee.
Whether all these railroads act in
harmony with their committee or
not, the Chicago Great Western has
announced its intention of granting
the Scent round trip rate for the
Minnesota State Fair. and the Chi
cago & Alton road has taken SINH
lar definite position in its own terri
tory.
The position taken by the officials
of the various state fairs is that
these state fairs should be granted
special rates, whenever any special
rates are being granted, because
they are primarily educational insti-
tutions which develop agriculture,
and, consequently, thess freight bust
ness and the passenger business for
the country these roads penetrate.
