"Now the moon shines tonight on
pretty Red Wing" And the sun of
prosperity also shines on this city Sit
uated on the ajestic Mississippi with
the tide flowing steadily and uninter-
ruptedly, that of the river downward,
that of the city ever upward, one de-
parting, the other coming. Red Wing,
the county seat of Goodhue County, is
a city possessing in population, some
thing like thirteen thousand people.
Besides being a river city it has the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul run
ming through it, with its finest train
the Pioneer Limited, also the Chi
cago & Great Western Railway. Red
Wing is approximately forty-one
miles southeast of St. Paul, as the
Crow Wing would fly it. Here is a
city blessed with many advantages,
among which we may name chiefly:
Church buildings which are to be COM
pared with the best, with those of the
Catholic most in evidence; splendid
public school system which is living
up to all that is expected of it, and
which so few systems do accomplish.
There are two educative semlnarles
here, namely the Lutheran ladies SEM
mary, ana the Neu wing Selllllldly,
the public library is an impressive and
substantial edihce; the principal the
alter is one governed by the city,
which is in itself somewhat of an
innovation; four solid, thrifty, con-
sentative and obliging banks; two hos
pitfalls of more than passing excel
lence; six hotels to compare with all;
two breweries which vote against
county option; tannery, flour and
feed mills, two daily newspapers, and
one weekly. The principal manufac-
turing industries are in furniture, sew
er pipe, stoneware, malt, launches, en-
gines, barrels, shoes, linseed oil, brick
and gloves. Red Wings sewer sys-
tenn is one of highly valuable efficiency
and visitors come from about the
Northwest to inspect it and see wheth-
err it is possible to adapt the same
idea and system to their own home

THE BOXRUD co.

lhlS business started under the IT,
tie of Boxrud Bros in the year of
1874, continuing under this name up to
1909, when it was changed to Boxrud
& Hjermstad, running as such until
this year of 1915, when the final alter
alton was made and the company re-
incorporated in February to be known
as The Boxrud Co." The original
building was destroyed by fire during
the year of 1914, and necessitated re-
building, which was done, with fine
two-story brick building with base
ment dimension of the structure be-
ing sixty-two by one hundred feet.
In January, 1915, Mr.. R. H. Boxrud
took entire charge of the company and
its business under the new and final
firm name. Over fifty employees are
kept busy attending to the wants of
customers and the usual routine of
trade. An elegant tea room and rest
room on the second floor is due to the
thoughtfulness and courtesy of Mr..
Boxrud, affording, as it does, rest
and retiring room for lady shoppers
and their children Mr. R. H. Boxrud
has served two terms as member of
the Red Wing Council, and nine years
as fire commissioner. The individual
prestige which he has achieved
through his work in public affairs has
contributed in no small measure to
the success of the business.

Mr.. CLARION is the leading transfer

1885, coming to Red Wing in 1865,
twenty years previous. 1t is the old
est business of its kind in Red Wing

BELTZ REAL ESTATE
AGENCY, (INC.)

One Of the concerns which is doing
considerable in the development of
property in and about Red Wing is
this company owned and operated by
the Beltz family. This firm owns and
controls large section of land lying
out from the city of Red Wing, and
devotes deal of time to cutting up
and retailing off to outside buyers
who move in and develop the rich
farming possibilities, although acting
as agent between parties wishing to
buy for investment and those who are
shifting to other locations or dispos-
ing of portion of their holdings.

City property is also handled by the
Beltz people and many substantial
deals are put through their medium
The firm is differed as follows: J.
p. Beltz, PRESIDENT; V. 2. Beltz, vice
PRESIDENT; f. c. Beltz, secretary and
treasurer. The concern is a member
of the Minnesota Farm Lands Asso-

of moving to Red Wing in city proper,

ROUMAMlA'S CAPITAL.
Bucharest Is a Great Artistic and Edu.
cational Center.

cational Center.
Describing Bucharest. the capital of
Roumania. Il statement issued by the
National Geographic society says:
The ~Roumanians have spared no eff
fort or thought toward making Bukha-
rest. their capital city. Il real capital
and not just II of the larger Balkan
towns, cut to the severe design of the
modern commercial city that is found
throughout the west. The whole his
tory of the Roumanians since the cast
ing off of the Turkish yoke has been
one Of conservative progress leavened
With enterprise, of thrift lightened by
keen appreciation of the embellish-
ments and pleasures of life. And in
Bucharest one finds more artistic, liter
airy and scientific life than in any other
part of the peninsula.
Bucharest is an attractive city of
100000. 1t is laid out with many broad
b~oulevards and avenues, as becomes q
capital, and has, as Paris, Berlin and
Washington, famous drives and parks
within its area, an avenue of parades'
and geological and botanical gardens.
The city is buik in Il hollow between
the hills upon both sides of the Dambo-
vita river, which is crossed by twelve
ornate bridges. There are some truly
magnificent buildings upon its broad
thoroughfareS, among the most promi-
nent of which are the royal palace, the
university, the national theater and the
palace of justice. Bucharest has some
squalid sections, with narrow, crook
ed streets, but these are "reminiscences
| of the Turkish regime and are fast dis
appearing. While Bucharest does a
considerable commercial business. it is
of no Importance industrially.
~"Bukharest, like our own capital, has
been developed primarily as Il capital.
The Roumanians have chosen Paris
and Vienna as their models and have
produced q judicious blending Of the
two upon the much smaller Balkan
scale. Bucharest has plenty Of good
music, and its people, who gather in
the concert halls or enjoy the free mill
tary concerts in the evening along
some promenade, are a~ppreciative and
critical listeners. The national theateI
brings varied offerings, and that the
best. Then the entertainments Of the
little capital are discreet limitations OF
social Paris, with Il touch Of mild
Viennese friendliness. Furthermore
Bucharest, as also becomes a European
capital, is a great educational center
It's schools, academies, colleges and uni
versity are models for Balkan coun
trieS.'

PORTION of their acreage to corn are
reminded that June frosts have had
the same affect on the corn crop
through Iowa, Missouri and parts of
Illinois. Those who pioneered it here
thirty years ago when the first settle
ment Of Cavalier county was under
way will recall that wheat growers
were experiencing similar set backs.
But in those days wheat was the one
crop on which our farmers staked
their all. Today we are raising live
stock, breeding horses, have added
corn, alfalfa and potatoes to the crops
marketed and this fall silos will be
more numerous than the sod shanties
which dotted these prairies back in
the pioneer days of thirty years ago.
