rious states with the explicit under
standing that any state which par
ticipates in the appropriation must
as state furnish like amount for
road building. Any county in such
state obtaining part of this fund must
provide either by taxation or bonding
like amount. To make myself
more clear, the government provides
800 100000, and Idaho, we will say,
provides two million, and thereby Sc
cured two million from the govern
ment, thus the state would have at
her disposal for road improvement
four million dollars. Each county
obtaining a part of this appropriation
Is expected to furnish an equal
amount, either by taxation or by
bonding, and the result would be that
eight million dollars would be spent
within limited time upon the roads
and highways Of the state the money
would of course, be spent under state
supervision by expert road builders.
Thus 00,000,O00 appropriated by the
government would mean four hun
bred million dollars on the roads of
the nation. When that time comes
we may look for grand results and
we will be nearing the millennium
OF proper roads in this nation, like
they are at present found In many
of the countries of Europe.
Our national wealth from 1860 to
1890 increased from sixteen billion

Congresses are doing great amount
of good through the influence that
they exert on the various state road
conventions in the efforts towards
the building of better roads, and Sc
curing proper legislation and megns
for such purposes. The money en-
pended by the various states, MS
states, and by the counties as coun-
ties, is bringing good results, and a
betterment of our roads and highways
but as see it the object at which we
are aiming has not yet been obtain

national government must look upon
the highways, In the states OF the
union as an asset just as IL looks upon
the federal buildings in the different

to the reclamation of its unused soil
through road improvement, Just as
1t looks to the reclamation of the ar.

sponsibility of the building of the
roads in the various states must be
borne partly by the federal govern

must be made to feel, and proper ma

Shooting Should Cease
Shooting or Carrying Fire Arms in
Ramsey Park Is An Offense
Against Law

1t has been reported by residents
near Ramsey Park, and visitors to it,
that there has recently been some
shooting of fire arms within the park
limits. This is not only very dam
gerous proceeding, but is also in direct
disobedience of the law upon this mat
ter, and should cease entirely and at
once. The law as given in section 2248
of the revised laws of 1905 provides as
"And no person shall in any manner
hunt with or have in his possession
any loaded or charged fire arms at any
point within the border of any State
Public Park within this State. Who
ever shall offend against any of the
provisions of this section, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished
by a fine of not less than $4,000 nor
more than $4,000 and cost of prosecu-
ton, or by Imprisonment in the County
Jail for not less than sixty days nor
more than ninty days for each and
every violation of this section"

Weight

C.. C. Neale, chief inspector Of the
state department of weights and mea-
sures, has reported to the state rail-
road and warehouse commission a new
way of classifying weights. The meth
cd is so unusual that he has ordered
all inspectors to be on the lookout for
Implications.
The device was discovered at Gilfil-
Ian, where an inspector was looking
ever an ordinary wagon scale. Motto
ing hand hole cut in the bottom Of
the scale casing he Investigated.
His search brought to light bit Of
Irvine, out of sight, but easily reached
which connected with a part Of the
scale machinery. A tug brought into
play weight which made over 200
pounds difference. This weight was
used after wagon had unloaded and
was returned for the difference be-
tween the load and the weight of the
wagon. By deducting 200 pounds
from the wagon the purchaser Of it's
contents lost that much to the seller.

Canning Company
Increases Capacity
Robbins Brothers Are Given Loan by
Business Men and Enlarge
Equipment

The Scenic City Canning Company,
assisted by the Redwood Falls Com
mercial Club, is making quite extens-
i've improvements and additions to its
equipment.
The company has already purchased
6-Horse power gasoline engine and
10 horse boiler. These were both
greatly needed and will facilitate op-
eratipns. The boiler is to be used for
cooking purposes.
Another great convenience is a corn
silker which will be purchased before
the corn canning season. This re-
moves all corn silk neatly and rapidly,
and with the corn mixer which is also
to be- bought, will make the corn-can-
ming Equipment complete.
Another machine is to be purchased
for use in transplanting young plants.
This, with the aid of two operators,
will plant two rows Of plants as fast
as the horse drawing the machine can
walk. The plants are placed, watered
and earth packed around them so that
they need no further attention. IS
per cent of them are guaranteed to
grow. The only addition to the build
ing to be made at present is an ex-
tension 14X16 #. to the main building
Other buildings will be provided later
The Scenic City Canning Company
which is controlled by the Robbins
brothers, has made commendable pro-
gress in the short time it has been in
operation. Last year the only ground
cherries canned in the state were put
out by this company and found ready
market as an exceptionally rare pro-
duct. All goods are of high value anc
the company is to be commended fol-
turning out only the best. That its
work is appreciated is shown by the
readiness with which the Commercial
Club came forward with the desired
aid.

BE AN OPTIMIST


Il admire the man who is al
ways baling hay;
Who is smiling through his gal
ways every day;
Not the cheap, shoddy grin of
the fellow who's all in,
But the smile of those who win
in the fray.
There's too much of vain repin-
ing in the land;
And | weary of the whining,
granting band;
And love the CHEEKY chap who
encounters any hap
With the smiles that overlap,
who has sand.
And | don't believe your growl-
ing, or your yelps,
Or your kicking or your howl
ing ever helps;
For the thoroughbreds are still,
when the fight is going i'll,
And the bowls that split the air
come from whelps."
