The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1914-09-22

Dear Gazette:
Nowadays there is an almost uni
versal interest in the "Good Roads"
movement. Perhaps some of your
Redwood auto enthusiasts plan to
make the trip out here to the big
Fair next year. At any rate, l am
sure that you will tolerate little
boosting for the highways of the
"Golden State of California.
The people of this state have au-
thorized the sale of bonds to the
amount of eighteen million dollars
for the construction of state high
way. The road is to consist of two
main or trunk lines running north
and south through the state; one a
coast route, the other an inland way
through the rich valleys between the
Coast Range and the Sierras. Coun-
ty seats, cities and rich sections of
country which the trunk lines can
not touch without sacrificing direct
ness, will be joined to the main high
way by laterals.
2,7OO Miles of Highway
The length of the proposed roads
total twenty seven hundred miles. One
route from the Oregon line to San
Diego is eight hundred and twenty
five miles in length, which gives some
idea of the magnitude of this state.
The people of California, acting
through their Highway Commission
and Engineer, are doing their best
to prepare an unbroken boulevard be-
tween the exposition cities for the
1915 tourist. do not know how much
of the work has been completed, but
at the present date there are over
three hundred and fifty miles under
construction, and many more miles
are now ready for bids.
Highway Cement Paved
The type of pavement selected for
the greater part of the work is a
Portland cement concrete, four inch
es thick, varying in width from fiji
teen to twenty-four feet as traffic con-
ditions demand, with thin bitumin-
Gus surface of asphaltic oil and rock
screenings. The shoulders, from three
to five feet in width are of dirt, rolled
and oiled. The dirt will eventually

be replaced by crushed rock. Thus
the minimum width of the highways
of the state system is twenty-one feet.
Cost Is Tremendous
The cost of the roads completed and
now under construction averages be-
tween eight and nine thousand dol
lars per mile. The state furnishes
contractors with all cement used,
which they have been able to pur-
chase at low figure. All materials
shipped for state highway work are
allowed a reduced freight rate The
cement and asphattic oil are Califor-
MIA products, materially decreasing the
cost of construction. Experts declare
our local road oil to be far superior
to the coal tar used in the East.
The right of way for the state roads
is guaranteed by the supervisors Of
the various counties, thus relieving
the state men of lot of worry and
bother. The counties also build ali
bridges along the highway. The cities
build and maintain the connecting
lines within their corporation limits,
which is no inconsiderable saving to
the state and is more satisfactory all
around.
Motors Pay Up-Keep
The maintenance of the road is not
to come out of the original $18,OO0,00O
bond issue. 1t is partially provided
for by yearly automobile tax. Au-
toes are taxed from $500 to $500
horsepower classification annually,
motorcycles $500 each. AS there are
nearly one hundred twelve thou
sand automobiles in the state accord
ing to the 1914 registry and about
thirty thousand motorcycles, the tax
amounts to considerable.
But. do not for a minute think that
the State Highway is the "whole
cheese" Nearly every county is do
ing great work in connecting the state
road with every considerable town
Many wonderful roads entirely indie
pendent of the state system have been
built connecting beach towns, indust-
rial cities, citrus and agricultural GEN.
tiers, and mountain resorts.

Already Scheduled
(By Staff Reporter.)


Last Friday evening the football
team of the local High School left
for Willmar to play game on Sat-
urday, which had been unexpectedly
scheduled on Thursday. While the
odds seemed rather against them they
took the Redwood spirit along and
used it to their own advantage.
The game was called at 800 o'clock
and Captain Steele won the toss
choosing Aovdefend the south goal
Willmar kicked off and Fuller re-
ceived the kick, but owing to the fact
that it had been well placed was un.
able to return far. On practically
the first play by Redwood the bal
was fumbled and Willmar recovered
However, Redwood braced and hele
their heavy opponents for downs. The
ball was exchanged and see-saweo
for the remainder Of the quarter, be.
coming Redwood's at the last moment
by Willmar's failing to complete 9
forward pass on the fourth down.
Willmar had gained more grount
this quarter than Redwood had beer
able to do, but had not been especial
ly dangerous. The second quarter
opened with Redwood in possession
of the ball and working against thu
wind. A forward pass was completed
making first down. Willmar bracet
and with seven yards to 60 on fourth
down, another forward pass for TWEEN

then made another long gain by 9

Another good gain was made by

Mr.. Smiths business keenness and
ability and his insight, into situations

I. H. Inglis Can
Grow Two Crops
in Short Season

7. II. Inglis is trying to prove, on
his farm just east of the city that
"year-around" farming is possible in
Redwood County as well as in states
favored with more sympathetic
climate.
Last spring Mr.. Inglis planted a
field of early potatoes which were
ready for market early in July. After
digging the potatoes Mr.. Inglis planted
corn on the field, the planting being
done July 81.
Monday, September 81, Mr.. Inglis
brought to The Gazette Office stalk
of corn grown from this planting. The
stalk with its tassel broken off, meas.
|ured seven feet and six inches anC
was a good sturdy growth. While
the ears were by no means maturee
they were well shaped and only asked
time to prove themselves.
Mr.. Inglis is in a fair way of be.
coming a pioneer in endless-chair
farming. His success on his new farm
has been very marked and If he car
overcome a few little things like thu
shortness of crop seasons there i:
positively no limit to his achievement
Since the ripening of the miIk-weed
Mr. Inglis has greatly increased thu
quantity of milk with which he serve:
the city and now his acquaintance:
are anxiossly awaiting his next move

All Arrangements
FinalIyCompleted
For County Fair
Redwood County Fair of 1914 to Be
Best And Most Largely Attended
of Any Ever Held
ENTHUSIASM HIGH EVERYWHERE
Best Horse Races, Best Exhibits And
Best Management of Any COun-
ty Fair in State

Redwood County's Fair, the biggest
and best the county has ever known,
will open next Wednesday morning,
September 30, and continue until Sat-
urday night. Four big days are prom
ised, every day crowded with good
clean attractions, fast horse and mo-
torcycle races, and the best exhibits
in Minnesota outside the State Fair.
After the closing of the race en-
tries last Tuesday it was found that
the commodious accommodations for
the, racing horses were not nearly
commodious enough, SO new barn
IL by 80 feet was erected and is now
ready for occupancy by the horses
that will begin to arrive soon.
This string of horses of whom COM
plete record is published in this issue
Of The Gazette, exceeds any string
ever raced in Redwood County before
and promises the best sport to lovers
of horse racing. Not only the largest
number ever entered will be here. but
this number includes the fastest hor-
ses:ever here, several of them, notably
the blind mare Sunshine, and Dad Mix
were among the sensations at the Min
aesota State Fair races, and will have
to compete with others just as good
lon the local race course. Dickie C. of
Morgan, Happy Heart of Morton and
King billiard of New Ulm, will con-
test every point with the horses from
abroad. Sir Conan Doyle from the
stables of ]. A. Mccoy of Lancaster
Wis, will do big things if he lives
up to his record.
1t is possible that the famous six
horse team owned by the Swift Com
pany of Chicago will be brought here
A movement is now underway to bring
this famous sextette as well as a
string of twelve Percherons from Iowa
most of them prize getters at the IL
linois and Iowa fairs, to Redwood
County for exhibition purposes. Sew
eral splendid herds of Holstein and
Herefords are also expected to arrive
early next week. These herds will
come from the farms of. Redwood
County and her close neighbors. Much
interest has been manifested in the
premium lists, and considerable en-
thusiasm aroused by the increase ir
the prizes given on many classes OF
live stock. In many cases the prizes
are considerably larger than last year
By arrangements made today sew.
eral of the buildings, including all the
horse and cattle barns, will be lighted
by electricity, Joseph Krieger install
ling plant for temporary service or
the fair grounds. The Board of Di.
rectors expects to have all the build.
ings and grounds lighted for the 1915
fair, and a beginning will be made
this year. This will be a great con.
venience to stock owners and the care
takers and will eliminate any posi-
bility of fire.

Redwood Falls has a football

Redwood Falls has a football
team.
The team last year was good
and advertised Redwood Falls as
she had not been advertised be-
fore in years. The High School
gained patronage through the
clean athletics and ? straight
manliness manifested by the
boys wherever they played.
Even this early, appearances in
dictate that the 1914 team will
outrival in many ways the team
of 1918.
The side line is a necessary
and very useful adjunct to every
football game whether High
School or Varsity.
The team needs the financial
and moral support of your pres
ence at every game.
The team is a good thing for
the town.
Here's hoping the town may
be good thing for the team.
Buy a season ticket or two!
See the Hutchinson Redwood
game Saturday.

The scientific world in Russia has for some time been occupied with the sinking O fthe Caspian Sea. The sur face of the Caspian, which lies twen- ty-seven yards below ocean level, has, since June 1910. become continually lower. The shrinkage is now even be- ginning to be inconvenient for naviga- ion, as steamers in many places can not reach the landing stages. Techni- cal investigations have failed to find convincing explanation, though Pro- lessor Shokaliski, commissioned by the government to study the subject, has ascertained that the amount Of water contributed by the rivers flow ing into the Caspian-especially by the Volga-has considerably dimin- ished It is, therefore, possible that the river water flowing into the sea is not sufficient to make good the loss caused by evaporation.

The steadily progressing desruc. tion of American forests has made itself unpleasantly felt by the German pencil and vehicle industries Red cedar, which the German pencil fac torres get chiefly from Tennessee. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Texas, is growing so scarce that the suggestion of a possible substitute has become very actual. As long ago as 1888 the factories of Nuremberg found it impossible to get enough cedar timber without resorting to the supply con
