slack business, laid off nearly all his

good again he put non-union work

been formerly occupied by union peo-
pie.
The union leaders protested, but
Shane's answeS was to lock out the

The funeral of the late Rev. W. H.
knowlton of st. James who died last
Monday afternoon, was held at the
Episcopal Church at st. James last
Wednesday morning, August &c. The
ceremony was very impressive and
beautiful one, and was made more
beautiful by the profusion of flowers
which filled the church and banked
the casket. In attendance at the fun
eral We're the following members of
the Episcopal clergy:SBishop Edsall,
Bishop McElwain, Rev. c. A. Poole
of Faribault, Rev. c. H. Plummer OF
Lake City, Rev. C. C. Rollit of Min
neapolis, Rev Andrew D. Stowe Of
Minneapolis, and Rev. A. E. Fillmore

torment was made in the cemetery at
St. James.
Mr.. Knowlton was born in New York
April %, 1S4S, and came to Mime
sofa when he was sixteen years of
age. His education was obtained a.
Shattuck and the Seabury Divinity
School at Faribault and most of his
ministry was spent in Minnesota.
From 1896 to 1900 Mr.. Knowlton
was Rector of the Church of The Holy
Communion in Redwood Falls and won
the love and respect of all his parish
oners by his uprightness and strength
was made rector of the st. James

death last Monday.
Beside his wife Mr.. Knowlton is sur
by his two daughters and a son, al
of whom were with their father at
the time of his death.

They Have Much
aith in Redwood
County Lands

John Bruch and his brother, whp
own a good acreage of New Avon
township land, were here last week
in company with four Illinois men
who will work the land for the Bruch
Brothers next year, and probably buy
farms Of their own in Minnesota.
These men were Harry Hurton, Fred
Hoffman, Vigo Jensen and Andrew
Hansen.
John Bruch now owns three quar-
tiers of a section in New Avon, and
his brother owns a half section. Both
are more then pleased with the Coun-
tvs agricultural outlook and say they
expect this land to bring them as big
returns next year as the land in IL
linois, which is valued at $500 per
acre. John Bruch also talked most
hopefully of the probable immigra-
ton of farmers from Illinois to Min
nesota. He believes Redwood Coun-
ty has no reason to fear as soma
pessimists seem to fear, the rush OF
farmers from the older counties in
to Northern Minnesota. Mr.. Bruch
believes that their places will be taken
rapidly by men from Illinois and hel
neighboring states, and believes lane
values will steadily increase.
