REDWOOD FALLS, FRIDAY, JUNE IS
quick action and aim to hit.

quick action and aim to hit.
AS to how it's done: An instrument
sensitive to sound waves is connected
with the moving picture machine. 1t
is pitched to the dominant sound of
the rifle report and the instrument
stops automatically for half second,
or longer if it is so adjusted.
The pictures are thrown on screen
made of two thicknesses of heavy
white paper. One piece moves verti-
cally and the other horizontally and
lights behind show where the bullet
went through.
The screen works automatically
with the picture machine and each
sheet moves an eighth of an inch at
right angles with the other when the
pictures start running after the half
second delay.
The whole thing worked perfectly.
Jumping kangaroos when shot at re-
manned in the air for half a second,
and flying machines stopped their
flight for the same period. The invit-
ed guests used about SIS worth of car
tridges each before they realized what
they were doing.

While was writing the above lines
my attention was called to another old
resident of the southwestern portion
of the county from whom life is ebb-
ing away. Nathaniel Damp is, or was
true type Of creative man. AS I
am writing he is sinking at his Wal
nut Grove home. He, too, figured
conspicuously in the agricultural and
political development of the county.
In agriculture he was a pronounced
success. In politics he always stood
for square deal, and when he came
up to the county convention as dele
gate from Springdale he fought hard
for his cause. 1t happened frequent
ly that our alignments were in OPPOSE
ton, and that frequently the contest
became bitter, but always did Mr..
Damp fight to cause his enemies to
respect him during the contest, and to
love him afterwards. He was born
down in old New York State way back
in 1892, and consequently he is round
| ing out better than 81 years. It was
probably his birthplace, and his Puri-
tan father and mother that caused his
plain, outspoken manner in all things.
Later he moved to Erie county, Ohio,
and still later to Wisconsin, in which
state he resided for 16 years, at the
end of which time he moved to Rice
county, this state, and during his resi-
dence there he had the pleasure of
seeing brother elected to and serve
an honorable career in the Minnesota
| legislature. Six years residence in
Rice county was sufficient, apparently,
as he crossed over into LeSueur coun-
ty, where he resided on a farm within
two miles of Waterville for short
time, and then moved to his farm in
Springdale township, Redwood coun-
ty, afterwards moving into Walnut
Grove. The membership of his fam
lily was extremely pleasant, and with
his children he found that enjoyment
which should be the ambition of all
parents.

1t was while delving into a few
events in the career of Augustus L.
Gale that l was forcibly reminded of
the steady and stern use of the scythe
by Old Father Time. Mr.. Gale was a
member of Antiquity lodge No. 81,
A. F. & A. M. of Redwood Falls, and
while he was not a charter member,
the names which I found among the
charter smembers of that ancient or
ganization caused faces Of the dead to
rise before me, and they are faces of
men who did their part towards MAX
ing local history. I am not certain as
to whether Major Powell, still resid-
ing at Redwood Falls, was a charter
member. If he was not of the group
only Fred V. Hotchkiss is still living,
and he, too, is at Redwood Falls. The
other members were DIR. w. D. Finn,
whose name was household name
wherever illness made its appearance,
and whose smiles and hopeful express
sion carried with them as much of a
cure as his medicines; James McMil-
Ian, the pioneer hotel man and mer-
chant of Redwood Falls, and after
wards a member of the legislature
from Redwood county; L. F. Robin
son, farmer and county official, whose
smiles and jokes were sunny rays in
starving days; w. c. March, former
hotel man and afterwards travelling
salesman for the North Star Boot &
Shoe Company; Robert Watson, the
veteran postmaster; and Col. Edward
A. Chandler, among the first officials
of the county, and general favorite
with all old settlers, who was taken
off just as Masonic building was to
have been erected on the corner of
Second and Bridge streets, and whose
death caused change in the location.
/! They have all gone to their fathers,
and ITO that undiscovered bourne
from whence no traveller returns"
/ believe that Major Powell is the
only living charter member of Red
wood Falls Chapter of Royal Arch
Masons. As look over the list see
the names of w. F. Dickinson, the
conservative, yet solid banker, who
rose to be Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of this state; Capt w. P. Dun
nington, revered and loved by all who
knew him; Fred. ]. Peabody, dray-
man, expressman and farmer; j. J.
Coyle, farmer and ffer, and always
pleasing in social intercourse with his
friends; S. S. Martin, Robt. Watson
and E. A. Chandler, whose names ap-
pear above, all gone through the wales
to submit their work for final inspec-
ton, and may they all have success
fully passed into the Holy of HOLES.
| believe that the first three officers
of Redwood lodge of Odd Fellows
have all been called to their final
homes. C. w. Tousely was long in
the hotel business and dispersed sun
shine to guests as well as callers A.
d. Holiday was the happy, go-lucky
carpenter or jack-of- all-trades, and
remember him best for his biblical
drawings on the blackboard of the ole
Presbyterian Sunday School In those
days the doctrine ran, more or less, t.
hell, fire and birthstone, and good Mr.
Holiday, who supervised the schoo
for many years, used to draw picture,

A BOOST FROM jim JOHNSON

James Johnson, who generally sizes
things up about as they are, says:
81 have heard Minot knocked and
have heard her praised. For my part
| can only sing her praises. recent
ly heard some women talking at a
meeting of a ladies' aid (can't say
just how Jim came to be admitted>, i,
and several said they had quit send,
ing away for goods and were watch
ing the Minot sales, for they could do
much better right at home. And then
Its fact that farmers generally get 2
cents a bushel more for their grain
here and right now we are selling
eggs for 35 cents a dozen. And again,
I have sold cattle for 6 1-2 cents Il
pound on the hoof. We are fortu-
nate if we own land near Minot.''

Bismarck, jan 7.-President-elect
f.. r. Crane Of the Minot normal
school is meeting with difficulties in
the collection of his salary for sera.
ices. today.
The state auditing board has re-
fused to o. X. his bill for salary for
the months of November and Decem-
Ter, totalling approximately $500, on
the contention thar inasmuch as
there is as yet no normal school un-
der way at Minot, that there certain
IL should be no need of paying
president.
The state normal board OF control
has a different view of the situation,
and it is upon the action Of that
board in appointing President Crane
and authorizing him to take charge
of the preliminary work at Minot
during the past two months, that the
state auditing board is centering its
attack.

tend that the engagement of Presi

Of the institution next fall, etc., as

1t is expected that the Minot nor
