SCIENTISTS TELL OF THE SEA
Some Facts Not Generally Known,
But Of Interest to the Man
Who Admires Nature.

Not only Is the sea the reservoir
into which all rivers run, but it is the
cistern that finally catches all the
rain that falls. not merely upon its
own surface, but upon the surface OF
the land and upon the roofs of our
houses. II has been calculated that
each year a layer OF the entire sea
fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds This vapor is fresh. and,
II all the water could be removed In
the same way, none of 1t being re-
turned, there would, 1t is figured. be
left a layer OF pure salt 230 feet high
on the bed Of the Atlantic. These fig
ures are based upon the assumption
that three feet of water contain one
inch OF salt, and that the average
depth OF the ocean is three miles.
At depth of about $500 feet the
temperature is uniform. varying but
little between the poles and the
equator. The colder water is below.

Musical Evening TO
The Music lovers
Fourth Number of Lecture Course,
March Fl, Promises To Be Best
OF All

1t isn't often that Redwood Falls
has chance to hear real opera music,
but it has that treat in store.
The international operate Company
will be here March II, and the pro-
gram promises splendid musical en-
tertainment. The press notices from
towns where this company has been
heard have only praise for its perform
ance and recommend it to all lovers Of
really good music. They are not sing
ers of ragtime, nor popular airs, but
give their audiences only the best.
The company consists of four vocal
lists and their accompanist Miss Mar
garet Day, who has attracted univers-
al attention as pianist wherever she
has been heard.
Tekla Farm, formerly with Nine.
Schumann-Heink sings the soprano,
Rose Heidenreich the alto, Loro Gooch
tenor and Burt McKinnie, the bass.
AS quartette, they are combina-
ton impossible to beat, and as solo
lists they have all won laurels.
This entertainment is the fourth of
the lecture course, and promises to be
even better than the very excellent
others have been, in that it is of a
nature rarely given here.

Unless the unforeseen happens Red
wood county will have county agri-
cultural agent in the very near future.
This was decided by a representa-
tive meeting of farmers which was
held at Wabasso Saturday of last
week. At this meeting the county
agent proposition won by II votes; IS
votes were cast, 81 indorsing the hir-
ing of an agent and Is against it.
Enough funds are now pledged to
justify the promoters Of the plan in
asking Dean Woods Of the State Agri-
cultural College to select a man, and
send q contract for inspection.
The agent will be chosen subject to
the approval Of committee made up
of men from the various villages and
farm communities throughout the
county. It is to be hoped there will
be no interruption to the final arrange
ments, and that Redwood county's Ag-
riculturaI Agent win soon be an IS

one also. The committee on music
has made wise selection in choosing
these musicians; as they always give
satisfaction to the dancers.
The floor Of the building is in the
same splendid condition for dancing
that it was on the opening night, and
the ball promises to be fully as en-
joyable. The company has ordered
three hundred new chairs which are
now ON the way, SO there will be q
seat for everyone. The members Of
the militia are all working with their
usual enthusiasm to make the event

ARE WE HANGING BACK?

The Morton Enterprise of last week
has the following to say concerning
the attitude of Redwood Falls toward
the Luce Electric Railway:
"Of course there is nothing sure
about this line being built yet, as it is
rumored Redwood Falls is hanging
back like they did years ago on the M.
& st. L. proposition, and of course
Morton and Bird Island cannot be ex-
pected to do all the boosting for new
railroads"
Now the Enterprise has got to
"show u.s." figuratively speaking. Ev-
eryone in Redwood Falls is boosting
this electric road proposition steadily
and all the time; and such rumor as
the above is entirely unfounded.
What is Redwood Falls to do to sat
isfy her neighbors, anyway? A few
weeks ago The Lamberton Star ac-
cused us of getting most everything

The County Board
Joint Meeting Will Be Held Thursday
10 Discuss The Bridge
Question

There will be a joint meeting of the
commissioners Of Redwood county and
the council Of Redwood Falls held next
Thursday evening, March Ii.
Mayor Julius Melges states that at
this meeting the matter of q new
bridge across the Redwood River will
be again taken up.
Mr.. Nagle, Of the State Highway
Commission, was here recently and
made careful examination and test
of the bridge. He stated that it would
be sheer waste of money to repair
the present bridge, as it could be made
to servesfeF only very short time,
even with considerable expenditure.
He advised the building of new
bridge IN the immediate future.
The commissioners have decidede to
designate the road Of which the bridge
forms a portion, as Estate Road"
This will give the county the right to
ask state aid in keeping the road and
bridge in condition practicable for
travel.
Mr.. Adams, the engineer and bridge
contractor who inspected the bridge
some time ago, will appear before the
meeting Thursday evening, and give
plans and specifications for a new
bridge. Mr.. Melges has little doubt
that the county board and council will
agree upon the necessity of a better
structure, and give the matter their
attention.

Prof. @. NJ. Olson
Kills {. M. Darling
Gives "Unwritten Law" as Reason for
Shooting Man Who Invaded
His Home
MRS. DARLING HAS A WARNING
Murdered Man at One Time Lived in
Redwood Falls; Record is
Not Excellent
RS. DARLING HAS A WARNING

Calm and stolid after an undisturbed
nights sleep, Professor O. M. Olson,
demonstrators at the university farm
school, who last night shot and killed
Clyde N. Darling at the rear door of
the Olson home, 81 Morse street, st
Paul, and later was said to have given
the "unwritten law" as his defense,
appeared before Judge Hugo Hanft in
St. Paul Thursday for examination.
At his own request his arraignment
was postponed until Saturday. At
torney General Lyndon A. Smith ap-
peared in court as Olson's friend, but
explained thot his position kept him
from appearing as the accused mans
attorney. In his only statement since
the tragedy, Olson was said to have
told County Attorney R. D. O'Brein,
Police Captain M. Gebhardt mad Cor
oner D. C. Jones that he shot Darling
because he suspected the latter, who
was driver for the Capital Steam
Laundry, 743 Wabasha street, was at
tentive to Mrs. Olson.
Premonition of Tragedy
Darling left his home at SOC Jack
son street, at 8:45 p. m. to deliver a
laundry package at the Smelling hotel.
His wife, now almost on the verge of
Mysteries, said Thursday that when he
left she had premonition that some
thing was going to happen to him. She
begged him to return early, she said,
and he patted her on the shoulder,
placed his arms around her and prom
ised to do so.
AT 9:15 p. M, according to the story
Professor Olson was said to have told
the county attorney, he saw Darling
pass the window of the Olson home.
Taking his revolver, he went to the
rear door. AS Darling opened it to
enter Olson fired twice and te man
dropped dead. Mrs. Olson and her A.
year-old daughter were visiting rela-
tives at Montevideo, MINI. Olson
called neighbor, told what he had
done and surrendered to the police
when they were summoned. When
police reached the Darling home at
midnight to appraise Mrs. Darling of
the tragedy, she was found sitting up,
almost frantic, awaiting her husbands
return.
Slain Man Once Sentenced
Ramsey county court records show
that Clyde N. Darling was sentenced
to the St. Cloud reformatory, March
u, 1902, for embezzling $4,000 from
his employer, j. w. Shepard, real es-
tate and loans, st. Paul. Darling was
released after serving about a year.
That he escaped long prison sentence
was called due largely to the interces-
sion of Mr.. Shepard.
