Gen. F. B. Woods
Visits Company |
Refuses to Accept Capt. C. F.
Gales Resignation And Fore
tells C0mpany's Disbanding
WOULD CLOSE ARMORY
Company And Citizens Must
Agree And Cooperate in Work
if ArmOry Is to Be Used

Gen. Fred B. Woods of the
National Guard spent part of
Monday and Tuesday here in
thoroughly investigating the af-
fairs of Company L, having been
brought here by the preferred
resignation Of Capt. c. F. Gal
les. This resignation has not
yet been accepted and cannot be
until some one of the necessary
qualifications is found to take
Capt. Gales place, and Gen.
Woods feels as do many citi-
zens, that the acceptance would
lead to most disastrous results
to the Company. Capt. Gales
has proved himself efficient in
the management Of the Com
pany's affairs and it is Gen.
Woods opinion that he must
continue in office if the Company
is to continue in existence.
Should Capt. Gales insist up
on resigning under the present
conditions, with no available per-
son to take his place, Company
| l. would be disbanded at once
and the armory absolutely closed
as, under the state law, no mill
tary company, no armory. This
would deprive Redwood Falls of
it's best and largest auditorium
and be an absolute waste of the
money which has been expended
in it's construction. All equip
ment would be returned to the
National Guard headquarters.
There are at least thirty towns
in Minnesota awaiting their
chances to organize companies
and build armories. The state
support given Redwood Falls
would Immediately be. trans
ferred to one of these towns and
lit would be impossible for Red
wood Falls to ever reopen its
armory.
The problem is one for inme-
date and final decision by the
members Of the Company and
every citizen interested in keep
ing the Armory open to public
use. The problem would also
seem to a thoughtful person to
be absolutely unnecessary had
Capt. Gales been given the sup
port and cooperation which in
the opinion Of Gen. Woods, he
so justly deserves

Mr.. Japs has been in business

fourteen years and has been ex-

chanic and garage manager. His
many patrons will regret the dis
continuance of his business. Mr..
Japs has made no definite plans
for the future, but will remain
in Redwood Falls for the next
few months spending a good deal
of his time in the garage, as
sisting the new owners. His

Tuesday, January 4, is the

registered in the two wards yes
terday.
Mayor C. A. Luscher has no
opposition and will unquestion-
ably succeed himself in office as
will H. w. Ward, city recorder
and H. A. Baldwin, city treas
urer. These officers have been
efficient and trustworthy in the
handling of municipal affairs and
the citizens desire that they con-
tinue in office.
In the First Ward John Knud-
son and w. T. Wilcox are can
didates for the two year term,
the present alderman, Ira Rey-
nolds, having refused to run for
reelection. Mr.. Knudson is at
present filling out the unexpired
term of Marion Johnson and his
candidacy for the two year term
leaves a vacancy in the unex-
pired term for which J. K. Drury
is being urged to become a can
didate.
In the Second Ward O. S. Dun
ham and John Kuck are candi-
dates for the two year term.
Both are public-spirited men who
have served on the council be-
fore and the contest will prob
ably be close one. John Whit
tet, the second alderman in this
ward, still has one year to serve.

Check Is

on Local Bank

Joe Rider innocently cashed a
So check last week which in the
end led to good deal of trou-
BILE. Franklin Jones and Arthur
Sparks were the names given
by the young men who were la
ter charged with forging a check
on a Redwood Falls bank with
the name of George Ahrens
signed to it.
Sheriff Homme picked them
up at Montevideo, and after that
the Granite. Falls Tribune prints
the following:
cat the hearing in the coun-
ty attorneys Office, the boys
gave the names of Franklin
Jones and Arthur Sparks, the
latter being the one who passed
the check. They had been en-
gagged in the towns in this vi
entity as magazine subscription
solicitors. AS there was no evil
dence to indicate Jones had been
connected with the trouble, he
was let go, but a 80 day SEN
tence or $50 fine and costs was
plastered on Sparks. He is now
in the county Jail waiting for
money from his people, living
near Crookston, with which to
pay the fine -Echo Enterprise.

II. c. Bulls Sells
Ills .TaIking-Movie
Perfect Coordination of Pictures
and Sound Claimed for Min
neSOtan's Invention

H. C. Bulls, an electrician,
has returned from Washington,
D. c., where he sold his talking
picture machine to capitalists
from Duluth, Superior and Chi
cago.
Mr.. Bulls has perfected a ma
chine which produces the pic
lures and sound in absolute har-
mony. He has had some flat
tering offers, but refused all I'M
til the deal which he has just
closed. A company has been in
corporated, with capital of $780,
900, of which Mr.. Bulls owns
one-half. It is thought Duluth
or Superior will be the head
quarters of the new company.
The capital will be increased as
the project progresses.
Both Produced from Same Film
Most of the talking picture
machines are a combination US
ing a photograph in connection
with the pictures. Unless the
two machines are run exactly to-
gether the words do not always
appear at the proper time. In
order to understand the Bulls
invention one must have a good
knowledge of the way a tele-
phone gets it's tones into re-
ceiver. Mr.. Bulls uses loud
sounding telephone, and instead
of someone talking into it to
correspond with the motion of
the pictures, there is photo
graphed a sort of record at the
edge of the film. Of course this
record must be in harmony with
the pictures at all times.
This record is transmitted to
the telephone through a delicate
adjustment and a special battery
that acts on the loud talking
telephone somewhat in the same
way that ones voice vibrations
act on a telephone transmitter
This special battery and it's parts
are operated by the rays of light
coming through the record on
the edge Of the film and can dc
| the talking stunt as long as the
| film is operated. One operator
can handle, the whole outfit and
need not change records or watch
to see if the pictures and talk
are together, as in other ma.
chimes, for they are both repro
duced from the same film ano
cannot be separated.
Graduate of State University
Besides owning 100000 ir
stock, Mr.. Bulls is to have 9
laboratory in Chicago and be
employed at a salary of $4,000 {
year during the life of the com
pany. He also is to receive one
fourth of a cent foot for al
film manufactured and 10 pei
cent on all machines sold.
Mr.. Bulls is graduate OF thu
Minnesota state university, class
of 1884. 1t was during a much
needed rest three years ago a
Grantsburg, Wis.,, on a farm
that he practically completed thu
machine.-Minneapolis Journal.
