E. j. Lynch, state oil Inspector,
says gasolene consumption in the
state the last year was twenty-five
per cent greater than the consump-
ton of kerosene. When the law en-
forcing the inspection of gasolene
was passed in 1909 kerosene led by
thirty per cent. The change is due
to the use of automobiles and the
introduction of the gasolene engines
used by farmers.

son, the piano merchant of Redwood

her home with this family for more
than 40 years and was like sister

the younger members of the family.

Saltwater Messenger: Crops de-
mand rain at once. says an exchange.
Sure thing; and so does everything
and everybody. Just to show how
low the water is up river in the
streams where the log drivers are at
work. one of the boys said there
wasn't enough water up there to mix
with pint bottle of alcohol. This
in itself is very serious matter, to
say nothing about not being able to
float the logs to market.
Wood Lake News: A very unfor-
tunate accident occurred at our car
nival on Wednesday of last week
which was due to reckless automo-
bile driving. Ben Anderson, a young
man from Cottonwood, ran Irwin
Bucholz down in the crowded street
with an automobile and broke one of
the bones in his leg, besides bruising
his head so badly that conclusion of
the brain resulted. We understand
that no suit for damages will be
brought although there is very good
ground for such.
