Two New Buildings
on Livery Barn Site
Chas. E. LambeItOn Will Build
Bus Barn; Geo. Arnold
Livery Stable
WORK NOW STARTED
Buildings to Be Constructed Of
Cement Blocks; Frontage of
Sixty Feet Each

Last Monday a deal was closed
whereby Chas. E. Lamberton
became owner of a lot 60x120 #.
upon which the old livery barn
south of the Kahler House now
stands, and Geo. Arnold became
owner of the lot on the corner
with a sixty foot frontage on
Washington Street, and includ-
ing half of the lot formerly
owned by Lamberton on Fourth
Street.
Both men will construct new
buildings of cement blocks, one
story in height.
Mr.. Lamberton will have con-
crete floor space approximately
sixty feet square and a small
basement to provide for a heat
ing plant. This building will be
located upon the lot where the
old livery barn now stands and
will be used for bus barn and
office.
Mr.. Arnold has begun the
work of filling in the lot and
constructing the foundation and
expects to have the building COM
pleted within three weeks. The
floor space will be either 60x40
#. or 60x60 #. AS soon as this
building is completed the old
barn will be destroyed and the
work of construction of Mr..
Lamberton's building started.
Both buildings will front on
Washington.

Oil Redwood Streets
Advises M. D. Martin

M. D. Martin of Mortified, in
company with Mrs. Martin and
their daughter arrived at Red
wood Falls last Wednesday and
stayed with friends here for the
remainder of the week. Mr.. Mar
tin, formerly with the H. M.
Hitchcock Company, left Red
wood Falls about sixteen years
ago and returns to find many
changes and improvements. He
is delighted with Ramsey Park
as a pleasure resort and looks
upon it as fulfllment Of a
vision of it's future, he had while
a resident here. In recalling
other memories of the old days,
Mr.. Martin recalled the war
whoop with which julius A.
Schmahl, standing on the steps
of the Gazette building an
nounced the capture of Manila
by Dewey, away back in the
last century.
Mr.. Martin is now a member
of the city council of Mortified,
and, speaking from his expert
ence as a councilman, he strong
ly advises Redwood Falls to oil
her streets early next season, and
is sure that, having once done
this, she will wonder how or
why she ever got along without
this modern imp1 ovement. The
oiling is no more expensive than
sprinkling and really keeps the
dust down all the time which
sprinkling accomplishes only at
times and in spots. The cost
for an ordinary residence lot is
about three dollars a season, only
one coat a season being neces-
sary after the first oiling. The
discomfort suffered here the last
few weeks from the heavy dust,
makes Mr.. Martins suggestion
most timely.

Petition for Oiled
Streets in Redwood

At a special meeting of the
City Council last Friday even
ing, the ACCESSIBILITY of oiling the
streets of the city was thorough
ly discussed. M. B. Martin of
Mortified, who has had expert
ence with the oiling of the
streets there, was present and
gave the council the benefit of
his experience with this system
of solving the dust problem.
The Council resolved to order
oil for use on the streets where
ever petitioned by the property
owners to do so. The expense
will be assessed against the prop
erty benefited as in the case of
the water and sewer systems.
While residents in one block can
petition to have their streets
oiled, it is desirable that several
blocks in place be oiled so that
the best result may be obtained.
The oil costs about three cents
a gallon and can be best ordered
in carload lots. Petitions should
be sent in promptlyein order that
the oil may be applied during
the dry fall months. Members
of the council are prepared to
give information as to the cost
and other particulars.

REDWOOD MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25 1915
Tennis Match IS
Nearing Close
Russell Will Meet Inglis or Bald
win in Deciding Game of
Singles Tournament

An injury to his knee sus-
tanned by DR.. Inglis in last
Thursdays benefit baseball game
has prevented the completion of
the tennis tournament in sched-
ule. With his injured member
under the care of a physician,
Inglis felt disinclined to take on
Tink Baldwin in the semi-finals
and as a result the champion
ship cannot be determined for
several days.
One semi-fnal match has al
ready been played, in which Rus
sell was returned winner over
Lamberton by the score of 81,
6-3. The ease in which Lamber-
ton had previously disposed of
Ochs pointed toward a bitterly
contested semi-fnal, but Lam
berton's speedy style of play
was no match for the more care
full and accurate style Of Rus
sell.
Russell has been playing the
best tennis of the week, dispos-
ing of Brainard, Streissguth,
Lamberton and Knapp in success
sion. Last evening he played a
consolation match with Knapp
who had previously defaulted to
him and won by a score Of SO,
81, SO. If he continues his
steady playing he will rule the
favorite in the finals to be played
between him and the winner of
the Baldwin-Inglis match.
The drawing for the doubles
tournament has been announced
and play therein is to commence
Immediately. Seventeen teams
are already entered and no little
interest is being manifested as
to the final outcome.
The weeks play in singles as
follows:
Third Round
Inglis 6, 6, 6 v. w. Gold 3, 8, 3
Baldwin 6, 6 V. Jones 4, Q
Lamberton 6, 6 V. Ochs 2, 3
Russell 6, 6 v. Streissguth 4, 2

Double Header
Ball Game Sun.
Walnut Grove and Olivia Will
Contest Hc,nors With Red
wood Sunday Afternoon

Next Sunday afternoon at the
Redwood Falls Speedway, base
ball fans may witness two of the
best games of baseball played
on the home diamond this sea-
son. The event is a double
header, Olivia VS.. Redwood Falls,
and Walnut Grove VS.. Redwood
Falls. These two games will at
tract widespread attention and
it is predicted that the attend
ance will be a hummer.
In honor of the event the
Scenic City Band has been en-
gagged to play before and during
the progress of the game. The
band boys will turn out twenty
strong, in full dress uniform.
They will also have a refresh
ment stand where everybody can
quench their thirst and procure
popcorn and peanuts.
Olivia and Walnut Grove are
both first-class teams, and will
doubtless put up a scientific ex-
hibition of good ball playing.
Messrs. Jones and Dickson both
claim that the local team is out
to win. The weak spots in the
lineup will be strengthened and
the fans can look forward to the
best game of the year.
Everybody should turn out and
see these two games; the admis-
sion to both is only twenty-five
cents. This will probably be
the last game on the home
grounds.

John Mcclure
Placed in Jail
Transient Citizen of LambertOn
Charged with Stealing and
Selling Automobile Tires

John Mcclure was arrested at
Lamberton, August 5, on the
charge of appropriating automo-
bile tires valued at $85, from the
garage Of F. H. Ratzlaff and
selling them to w. F. Wegner,
also of Lamberton. Mcclure re-
fused to accept the hospitality
of the Lamberton jail and made
his escape. However, he was ar
rested in his flight and brought
to Redwood Falls Monday by
Sheriff Hassenstab and his dep
uty, III. Holdhouse. Unless Nc
CURE finds someone willing to
stand $500 bail for him, he will
await the November meeting of
the grand jury in the Redwood
County jail where he is now.
Mcclure is the same Irish
man of national temperament,
who got badly mixed up in a
fight at Lamberton several weeks
ago. At that time he started on
crusade to put all followers of
the Kaiser off the map and sue
ceeded in putting a few of them
in a near-hospital condition be-
fore he was stopped in his mad
career. Evidently he is more
skilled in first craft than in plan
ming thefts or he would not have
thought it possible to appropri-
ate property from one dealer, sell
it to another and make a get
away without being caught.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Person, of
Estherville, Ia, and Mr.. and Mrs.
C. Osborn of Runnells, Ia, mo-
tored to Redwood Falls last week
and were guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Person.

Will Happy Heart Come?

The Morton Enterprise, in its
recent slight attack of peevish-
ness, resents our seeming ap-
preparation Of Happy Heart and
rather SIMPLY suggests that if
Redwood County offers suffic-
iently large purses, perhaps
Happy will condescend to come
and pace for the Redwood Coun-
ty fair visitors. If Happy finds
the purses too small at the Red
wood County event he will have
to go clear out Of the Northwest
to find any larger ones as the
local purses are larger than
any offered for racing events
that week in either of the Da-
kotas, Iowa or at any other place
in Minnesota.
And it so happens that this
same Happy Heart can come
to Redwood Falls and start in
three races for $500 purses
while at the Bird Island fair
in the Enterprises hove county
he can only start in races for
$500. The Enterprise does
seem bit undiplomatic in open
ing the discussion of large pur-
SeS.
The Gazette rather expects
Happy Hearts owner will see
the wisdom in entering him for
the Redwood County races.

A Hyphenated Cutter

The Democratic party practically
wrecked itself by its fatuous submission
to the whms and vagaries of William
Jennings Bryan. For years it sacrificed
public confidence for sounding brass and
tinklng cymbal. Now Bryan, who re-
garded great party as a personal pos
session, and who was honored by it be-
You'd any other man, betrays it, seeks it's
destruction and conspires to discredit
and humiliate its titular head-the Pres
ident of the United States.
But Mr.. Bryan is not false alone to his
party, and to the President of the United
States. He is false to the American PEG
pie and the American republic. In at
lacking policy of the President, which
has been approved by the people of the
United States, he has arrayed himse If
against the people of this country. More
than that, by series of seditious mani
festos he is seeking to array one class of
citizens of this country against another
class and against the government to
which they owe allegiance.

Meaning of FLAG Day

Monday last was Flag Day" and in
several places Old Glory was flung to the
breeze in honor of the event
The American flag is the banner of our
country and stands for the history of
civilization on the western continent
Just now it is the only unsefish emblem
among the nations OF the earth and
means peace, if it is possible to make
peace. But it never means cowardce,
conquest or oppression. Beneath the
folds of our flag all mankind have taken
refuge and it has been the beginning of
their hope and the guardian of their liber-
ty To know the meaning of onr flag we
must know history-not only the history
of America, but the history OF the world.
1t was the first banner ever unfurled and
successfully maintained in the cause of
human liberty. 1t means a comm on
wealth and the law made by the democ.
racy of the nation for all men and it
guarantees to all men the right to govern
themselves.
Flag Day was iuaugurated and is now
annually observed that the people OF the
United States who were born here, and
the people of the world who came here to
swear allegiance to our country-and the
children who are to be our citizens, year
by year as they are turned out of the
crucible of patriotism in the American
public schools-shall never be permitted
to forget the meaning of the American
flag, and that in rallying round its glori-
Gus colors all men and the children of all
nations shall know what this flag stands
for and shall pledge their lives in its de-
tense and for the promotion of all that it
guarantees in civilization.
