Echo Elevator is
Burned to Ground
Building Valued at $4,000 and 10000
Bushels of Corn and Oats Destroyed
in Thursdays Blaze

The large elevator, owned and oper-
1ated by the Echo Milling Company,
sat Echo was totally destroyed with
the 10000 bushels of corn and oats
lit contained, by fire last Thursday
sevening. The grain was entirely COW
sered by insurance and the building
was also well protected. The build
ing was erected about five years ago
at a cost of $1,000.
The fire started from an overheated
wood stove in the office and the walls
Of the room were ablaze when the
fire was discovered. A spirited at
tempt was made to put out the fire
with the means at hand, but all eff
forts were unavailing, and the de-
struction was absolute. However, by
good work on the part of Echo citi-
gems the coal shed and two large corn
cribs containing a thousand bushels
of corn, were saved.
The blaze was discovered at five
o'clock Thursday evening, and the
building burned very rapidly, the
whole structure being in ruins in
very short space Of time. The corn
and oats made excellent fuel and the
IRE was intensely spectacular while
~ lasted. The structure will prob
ably be rebuilt within short time.

Say Prohibition
Will Be An Issue
ssWhite Ribboners' Are Jubilant Over
Last Tuesdays Vote in
the House
BOTH SIDES ARE SATISFIED
Representative Henry, Texas, Says
Question Will Not Be Brought Up
Again for Twenty Years

Opponents of prohibition in Con-
gress were confidently predicting We'd
nesday that the defeat by the House
of the Hobson resolution to submit
a constitutional amendment for ma
tional prohibition. to the state Legis-
latureS meant that the issue was dead
so far as action at this session is con-
cerned.
Leaders Are Triumphant
On the other hand prohibition lead
'ers were triumphantly pointing to
their majority of eight votes for the
resolution, and although it failed to
receive the two-thirds vote necessary
to adoption, asserted their expecta-
tions had been fulfilled. They declared
that despite their temporary defeat
they would continue the fight.
Both Sides Satisfied
Both sides appeared to be well sat
-isfed with the result. Anti-prohibi-
tionists hailed it as distinct victory,
while the supporters of prohibition as
serted that they were exceedingly
gratified over the outcome of their
first contest on the floor of Congress.
Although resolution similar to the
Hobson resolution is pending in the
Senate, introduced by Senator Shep-
pard, Texas, administration leaders in
Congress expressed the belief last
Wednesday that it would not reach
a vote as result of the action Of
the House.
An Issue in 1916
Representative Hepy, Texas, chair
man of the House rules committee,
who vigorously opposed the Hobson
resolution, predicts that as result
of the vote in the House, the question
of prohibition will not again be
brought up on the floor of Congress
rs national issue for twenty years.
Prohibition leaders, however, includ-
ing Representative Hobson, predict
that prohibition will be national is
sue in the 1916 campaign.
Reason to Be Pleased
Representative of the national ex-
ecutive committee of the Anti-saloon
League of America last Wednesday
declared that the temperance forces
of the country had reason to be gra-
titled by the result.-St. Paul Dis

Commercial Club
Plans NewQuarters
Many Questions Discussed at Meeting
of Club Members Monday
Evening .

A well-atended meeting of the Com
mercial Club was held in the club
rooms Monday evening. Many ques-
tions relative to the welfare Of the
club and the city were discussed, the
first being the matter of the removal
Of the club to larger and more COM
Portable quarters than the present
rooms in the Gazette building. A COM
mittee consisting of A. j. White, H.
M. Aune and Ira Reynolds was ap-
pointed to consider the advisability of
renting the rooms in the Francois
building under the First National
Bank and fitting them up as club
rooms. The club members feel that
a change in quarters would be the
first step towards the progress and
growth which is the aim of the or
ganization. The Club hopes to have
new and more comfortable quarters
ready by February 1.
There was also some discussion of
the need of the city along the lines
of Municipal Building and enlarged
High School quarters. A. ]. White
suggested the buying of the buildings
under the Odd Fellows hall by the
city, the buildings to be remodeled
and used as city hall. The CONNER
cial Club could then purchase the up
per story and remodel it for club
rooms. In this way Mr.. White felt
that some money could be saved to
the city to be applied on the new or
enlarged high school building. Pres.
F. Lobdell was authorized to appoint
a committee of five to investigate this
plan.
T. E. McAllister was admitted to
the Club.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. S. Westby, who
spent Christmas at Madison, have re-

Redwood Alumni
Hold Get-TOgether
Elect Officers and Have Fine Re-
union at Saturday Evenings
Meeting

The alumni of the Redwood Falls
High School held their annual meet
ing at the K. of p Hall last Satur-
day evening. Fifty of the former
graduates were present and while
there had been no formal program
prepared, the classmates enjoyed get
ting together to enjoy "reminiscences
of the past.
One of the important duties of the
evening was the election of officers
for the next year. The Office of the
president of this association has some
peculiar quality which forces-of per-
suades-its holder into the realm of
matrimony, the two former officers,
w. M. Smith and G. w. Gold being
living demonstrations of this. TAX
ing this fact into consideration, the
alumni charitably elected John Phil
brick as president and John Mclean,
who apparently needs little extra
time, as vice-president. Mrs. H. D.
Thorpe was elected Secretary Treas
urer.
Following the election of officers
several young men who are not alum
nj of the local school, served sand
wiches, cake, ice cream and coffee to
the company. The walters were G. A.
Schildknecht, Perry Nelson, Glenn and
John Lauterbach and Mr.. Waltz.
The Equality Club will meet with
Mrs. F. w. Philbrick at her home at
three o'clock next Monday afternoon,

Baron Jay Sold
For Fancy Price

E. y. Walker of Monmouth the
well-known horesman, was in the city
Friday, and in conversation with a
Journal man mentioned the sale of
Baron Jay, 2.19A by him to Frank
Whitcomb of Springfield, Mass, a fact
of interest here, as Mr.. Walker bought
the horse of Warren Malcolm of Au-
gusta. Mr.. Walker said:
Il suppose--in fact l know that this
was the most important sale for a long
time of high class horse flesh in this
State. I bought Baron Jay three years
ago. when he was five years old, from
Warren Malcolm of this city, who got
him in Aroostook Both the former
owner and Warren tried him out as a
hoppled PAGER and so did l, but soon
found that was not his style so shifted
him over and marked him last year at
2.19A at the trot. He is a red roam.
weighs $50 pounds and hasn't begun to
show his best, though this year he has
shown a quarter in 81, the half in l.O4
and the mile in 216A
Had him up TO Dover, n. H.. May
80, to show him to some parties and
he was liked so we'll that man after
man made an offer for him, but Frank
Whitcomb of Springfield, Mass, with
whom l was doing business took him
home. I'm not saying what the price
was, but | am reliably informed that l
got more than $1,000 cash in addition
to the splendid Barros, which is sure
to be a winner. So you see that
Baron Jay is rated among the high
class ones.
Baron Jay is by Margraves (by
Baron Wilkes), dam, Rusella Jay. by
Jayhawker-some class, eh2 Barros
is by Bengaria. dam by Kremlin, and
was bred at the famous Allen farm at
Pittsfield, Mass He is said to be
full brother of Barring. 2.13A, the we'll

fine horseflesh as Baron jay leave the
