The Crops.

A representative of the Gazette
took trip Of inspection through
parts of Redwood Falls, Sheridan
and Vesta townships the first of this
week and not only examined crops
but talked with practical farmers on
the trip. If these towns are fairly
representative of the county the
crop prospects are as follows:
Barley is all cut and in the shock.
The only thing that can iniure it
now would be continued wet wealth
err before it is threshed. There will
be only a fair crop at best.
Oats are partly cut and nearly all
Of it is ready for the binder and
should be harvested in the next two
days. Everything looks like big
crop Of oats. It will not be rec
ord breaker but farmers have rea-
son to be satisfied. In low places
there has been some damage from
high water in June.
Wheat will not come up to the
high promise of ten days ago. The
weather has been very unfavorable
to the crop since that time and es-
pecially with blue stem there is 60
ing to be considerable blight. Ten
days ago everything pointed to a
very large crop but so many of the
heads are affected in whole or in
part that the crop will be reduced,
Corn on the whole looks the best
it has for years. The fields are
rather weedy but the crop is coming
and is now better than year ago
at this time.
There is an immense crop of both
tame and wild hay. All fodder
crops, like sowed corn, millet and
the like, are very good.
Flax looks fully up to the average
crop. 1t is early yet and there may
be unfavorable weather to shorten
the crop in the next two weeks. But
under present conditions farmers
have reason to be reasonably salts
fed.

storms which were beating down
into the interior. The school board
has also been at work making ex-
tensive repairs on the high school
building. At least $500 on the two.
A. C. Dolliff is living in his hand
some two-story residence on Chest
nut street. This building, at usual
prices of lumber would cost at least
5000. AS dad" futile said, dur
ing the time the Judge" ran for
the legislature, that he belonged to
the lumber trust we do not know
how much his association clipped off
from the amount of the lumber bill.
Deputy Auditor Everett thought
he was adding to his residence but
as the work has progressed it has
resulted in building so large that
the original part is lost. Mr.. Ever
EFT will have when completed one of
the best dwellings in the city.
The cost will be about equal to that
of the Dolliff building.
Mrs. Lyss is putting a 5000 addi-
ton to her residence on Mill street.
Among smaller improvements
costing from $3.50 to $500 we caught
Chas. Lamberton, A. R. A. Laudon,
Mrs. c. T. Howard. Joseph Tyson,
D. L. Crimmins on two dwellings,,
and Peter Roop.
The improvements by Peter Rich
ard on the property purchased of
Chas. Mead has transformed that
building into a neat hotel property.
The total cost of painting. papering
and repairs will not be less than $500.
The county hospital west of town
has been completed since spring and
the building is very handsome one.
Hugh Peavey has put several hun
dred dollars into improvements in
two parks near town for his base
ball venture.
The above are all assured improve
ments for this summer. There are
many others in the air which will
materialize without doubt before
snow flies. For a dull wear the ex-
penditure of upwards of 100000 is
not so bad. There has been gen.
eral fixing up in smaller ways all
over town and Redwood has we'll
kept appearance that is commented
on by every stranger visiting the
place. One hundred small improve
ments add more to any town than a
single Improvement costing the
same money.

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1909.
The Following Is a Partial List of the
improvements Made in This City
During the Past Summer.

Although the summer so far has
been quiet in a building way, still a
run about town brings some good
building improvements to the credit
Of Redwood Falls. The list below is
not complete but has been picked up
while attending to other matters
and very likely would be added to
by a more careful inquiry.
The best single Improvement is
that made by the Redwood Falls
Light & Power company below the
mill. The company has nearly COM
pleted 40x50 concrete and cement
block building Is feet high and
which will be equipped with an en-
tirely modern. up-to-date power
plant. The building and machinery
will cost about $4,000. In a short
time the company will be able to
sell power for all kinds of domestic
and mechanical uses.
The 30x55 two-story and basement
building of Japs, the foundry man,
is rapidly nearing completion on
Mill and Second streets. The foun-
dalton is of concrete and the two
upper stories will be brick veneered.
The upper story will be used for the
residence of the hustling proprietor.
With the machinery in place $50, 200
will be expended.
Every year for the past several,
our genial alderman, "Tobe" Will
cox, could be counted on fora brand
new baby and an addition to his
stock of buildings. The baby is al
ready in the cab and the '09 building
is in the hands of the carpenters. 1t
is fine cement block store room on
Third street. 70x4S we believe. The
room will be very handsome store
room for the machinery of Red
woods boss hustler, and will cost
close to $4,000.
Asa Carkhuff has finished his i'm
provements begun last year. at the
boat landing and has made the dock,
landing and boat houses convenient
and attractive. AS Asa. refuses to
give any estimate on the costs we
estimate that all told at least $500
has gone into his boat business.

tensive repairs on the library and
