Placid Redwood

Loosened PIanks on Dam Let Wild
Flood Through We'd
nesday Morning
SCENE OF EXQUISITE BEUTY
Concrete Bridge Stands Test Splen
didly; Work on High Bridge
Not Much Impeded

The slush boards above the cement
dam which holds back the waters OF
Redwood river, became loosened last
Wednesday morning between nine
and ten o'clock, and the stream became
hours.
The new bridge of concrete recent
" constructed across the Redwood
Falls by S. O. Mason, was given a
very severe test and stood it splen-
didly. The approach to the bridge
on the west side had been purposely
left low, to take care of the over
flow in times of stress, and no SER
ious damage was done to either drive
or bridge by the force of the flood.
Traffic across the river was suspend
ed until about two o'clock, when there
was a mere dribble across the road
which no longer interfered with tray
ell by teams.
1t has been believed by many that
the new bridge had not been prop
erly constructed to meet such needs.
However any anxiety on that score
may be safely laid aside after We'd
nesday's test.
The rush of water swelled the falls
into a beauty they have not pos
sessed for many years. The tumul-
tous fall of water and the clouds of
mist and foam tended to increase
greatly the ever-present beauties of
the Redwood river and falls. While
the loss of power is to be deplored,
Presidents of the city greatly enjoyed
this temporarily increased grandeur
of scenery.
The damage done to the new high
bridge which is being built across the
Redwood river just below the dam was
mot nearly so serious as was at first
reported and has already been entirely
repaired. The quick work of the
bridge crew in anchoring the struc-
ture Immediately after the flood
Struck, undoubtedly saved it from a
much greater wreckage.
A. c. Burmeister says the dam was
not seriously injured. However in
making repairs he has decided to use
two feet of concrete and two feet of
plank on top instead of the four feet
of plank formerly used. Mr.. Burmeis-
ter is to be complimented upon man.
aging the power forces so we'll that
the city was not handicapped for
either lighting or power.
The overflow was caused by severe
rain storms west of Redwood Falls
causing the Redwood and its tribu-
tary streams to swell suddenly.

Mrs. George Jaehning, Miss Marie
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Ward, Mr.. and
Thune and G. A. Schildknecht acted as

Mrs. Smith was connected with her

V. Everett in the same capacity. She
has always taken an active part in the
social activities of the young people,

BILLY" is the senior partner of the
William NJ. Smith Company, which is
one of the most fourishing businesses
of the city. He has hard-won repu-
tation for avoiding overdrafts but a.
side from that has very few faults and
several carefully concealed virtues.
Not the least of his assets is a beauti-
full tenor voice which he strenuously
refuses to overwork. We have been
told that he is young man of strong
business integrity and sterling worth.
If this be true Redwood Falls is to con-
graduated on his making this city the
scene of future business activities.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith wish them all good things and
will welcome them on their return with
the same heartiness that marked their
farewell.

1t is needless to suffer with rheuma.
tism, and be all crippled up, and bent
out Of shape with its heart -wrenching
pains, when you can avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, mac
tive kidneys. that fail to filter from the
blood the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid; and the only way to over
come it is to remove the cause.
Croxone does this because it neutral
ICES and dissolves the poisonous sub
stances and uric acid that lodge in the
joints and muscles, to scratch and irri-
tate and cause rheumatism, and cleans
out and strengthens the stoppea-up, IN
active kidneys, so they can filter the
poison from the blood, and drive it on
and out Of the system,
Croxone is truly remarkable medl-
cine for rheumatism, kidney troubles
and bladder disorders. You will find it
differs from other remedies. There is
nothing else just like it, Ii matters not
how old you are, or how long YOU have
suffered, it is practically impossible to
take it without results, Relief follows
the first few doses, and you will be sur
prised how quickly all misery and sut-
fcring will end.
An original package Of CroXone costs
but trifle and all druggists are author
lied TO sell it on positive money back

days is often all that Is ever needed TO
