Under the new management the
store will be known as the
Crescent Hardware Co.

binary passenger traffic and
Stacked it's former speed. From
Klngsville over the last hundred
miles Of the voyage the train
slowed it's time to about twenty
miles per hour. Over this dis
lance regular army men or pat
rol squads were stationed at
practically every little bridge to
insure protection against very
probable accidents from Mexican
spies. At Sedalia, Missouri, and
again at San Antonio, the first
two trains were awaiting our

half hour intervals soon after
our arrival.

slcepers were actually hooked on
to the train and transfer was
made from day coaches. These
cars by the way had been in use
for previous shipments of SOL
diers. The porter of one Of the
cars used by Company L said his
car had already hauled to the
border troops from illinois and
from Virginia.
After Albert Lea six stops
were made along the 100 mile
route to give the soldiers needed
exercise, varying from a few
minutes of drill in a dusty field
along an isolated siding "some-
where in Oklahoma" to three
hours Of personal liberty at San
Antonio. Major Brandt, in
charge Of our battalion, was con-
tinuaHy on the alert for some
"old swimmin' hole" and at four
stops me4 enjoyed refreshing,

G.. P. Smith of Iowa will Super
wise Ditch System of Red
wood County

G.. P. Smith, drainage expert,
arrived in Redwood Falls last
week and will undertake the su-
pervision of Redwood County's
drainage system. Mr.. Smith
comes here directly from a SINH
lar work which has occupied him
fer the past eight years in
Webster County, Iowa. This
county has the most extensive
drainage system of any county
in Iowa, and, under Mr.. Smiths
direction, this system has been
made practically complete.
In Redwood County Mr..
Smiths work will be the unity
ing and correlating of the work
of the various engineers now at
work on the several county and
judicial bitches. In standardiz-
ing the plans and specifications
of the separate bitches, the aim
will be to make each ditch and
it's branches a part of a system
of universal efficiency and SER
vice to all parts of the county.
The Office of advisory engineer
which Mr.. Smith now occupies,
was created by the County Com
missioners as a direct means,
not only to lettering the drain
age system, but to saving money
for the county and. ditch petit

commissioners on county ditch

proved that there is a serious
need for Redwood County to be
sure the money expended for
bitches is put where it will do a
lasting good, and Mr.. Smith has
undertaken to see that it is so
expended.

City Park Board
to Improve Baths
BathhOuse to Be Remodeled
Place Made Clean And SAM
tary And Kept So

The City Park Board, consist
ing of H. M. Hitchcock, H. A.
Baldwin and D. McNaughton,
has decided to make radical
changes and improvements in
the public bath in Lake Redwood.
The bathhouse will. be the first
scene of action and very decided
changes will be made in the ar
rangements of dressing and
toilet rooms with especial atten-
ton paid to the sanitation of
the place.
These improvements will in
clude a boy-proof partition be-
tween the two dressing rooms
and such other changes as are
needed to protect the modesty
Of the girls and ladies visiting
the bathing pool. PorcAes and
steps will be added to the front
Of the building and the ground
properly graveled.
1t is also the intention of the
Park Board to put a competent
man in charge of the bathhouse
and to institute certain hours
at which the public may have
the use Of it. This is a need
very evident to all who use or
visit the baths, not only to in
sure the proper use of the ad-
vantages afforded and to prevent
their abuse, but to assure the
sanitary condition which the
health of the community de-
mands.
Swimming enthusiasts have
done good work in the pool it.
self this summer by a general
cleanup, the building of a spring
board and other improvements.
Now with the proposed changes
in the bathh house, the addition
of a springboard for the chill
dren and a lifeline which the
Board propose to install, and
with a man with authority to
take necessary care of it all, the
baths should be one Of the most
attractive and enjoyable spots in
the city.

Merchant Gives
Share to Co. 81"
N. F. Dripps to Give Five Per
Cent of August Cash Sales
to Company L Fund ;
WHO'LL BE NEXT?
All Patrons Of Store Have OPP
pOrtunity to Help Home Boys
without Extra Expense

Ned Dripps is up to his old
tricks again Not so long ago
but what the Gazette remembers
the instance very clearly, Ned
cashed a receipt for dad" Is
ham, giving him perfectly good
coin of the realm on a paper that
stated Dad had paid one of his
honest debts-or honestly paid
one of his debts. .4~F
That is exactly what Mr..
Dripps expects to do again. only,
this time the Boys of Company
L will be the benefciaries in
stead of any one individual.
Mr.. Dripps is a firm believer
in The Gazette's theory that a
Company L Fund is the proper
means of real assistance to the
lads in khaki and makes this
proposition to his patrons:
During August l will
give a receipt for all cash
purchases. There will be a
locked box on the cigar case
in which these receipts may
be deposited or the pur-
chaser may hold the re-
ceipt until the end Of the
month. A draft for five per
cent of the amount Of these
receipts will be mailed to
Company L September 1.
This draft will be just as
large as you choose to make
it."
Mr.. Dripps' offer applies to
cash purchases only, and mot
to cash paid on accounts. The
key to the box in which the re-
ceipts are deposited will be left
in the care of the Gazette editor
or some person with a real
reputation for honesty, if the
public so desires.
Mr.. Dripps' offer is a generous
one and should meet withaready
response by every friend Of
Company L. There is no reason
why this draft should not
amount to a hundred dollars,
and a hundred dollars of Red
wood Falls money can be put
to no better use than to be in
Capt. Hingeley's hands for re-
lief work among the Boys.

Promises Cheap;
Depots Expensive
Depot Alterations at C.. & N. w.
Fall Far Short of What City
Was Assured of Getting
SMALL ADDITION MADE
No Arrangements in Plans for
Modern And Other Convent
enceS as Expected

Any citizen Of Redwood Falls
who had a dream of the real life
size and up-to-date depot prom
ised the city by c. and n, w.
railway officials for the past sew
cral years, may just as well rub
his eyes and arouse himself
from any such dream, for prom
ises Of railway officials were ap-
parently made to be broken, and
this lovely dream is destined
never to be realized. Not con-
tent with giving Redwood Falls
train service which, as one prom
inent citizen who is forced to
use it about four times a week
remarks, "Is the rottenest SER
vice ever handed any town." the
c. and n. w. is now making elab-
crate CD alterations in the de-
poland when these alterations
are completed, the building will
be admirably suited to the pur-
poses of a freight depot, and the
the city will be as far as ever
from possessing a comfortable
passenger depot.
According to the understand
ing of the two business men of
the city who took up the depot
matter with the afore mentioned
promising officials, Redwood
Falls was to have a much larger
and a thoroughly modern depot,
with sanitary and convenient
toilet and wash rooms, brick
walks, etc. What Redwood Falls
is getting is the end knocked
cut of the freight room on the
west end of the building, a slight
addition-so slight as to he hard
ly noticeable-and a general re-
adjustment of the interior with
view to somewhat increasing
the space of waiting rooms and
Office. The floor plans as seen
by The Gazette Monday showed
no provision whatever for dress
ing or toilet rooms and when
feminine curiosity led said Ga
zette to ask where they were,
one of the builders rather sheep
ishly remarked "Outside"-a
proper place, circumstances force
us to admit.
II is said by those at work on
the building, that a brick plat
form is actually to come to pass
- of brick walks nothing is said.
And let the public not forget to
be properly grateful for the
hardwood floor in the ladies'
waiting room!
And by the way, the city is to
congratulate itself upon the
drinking fountain which looms
up large and majestically-in the
plans! We hope we hurt no ones
feelings by being somewhat
skeptical about this same large
and majestic drinking fountain.
Springfield is hugging herself
and dancing a joy dance because
she has the promise of a new
G.. and N. w. depot. 1t is as well
for Springfield to hug and dance
on the promise-that is more
substantial than the reality.
We await the C. and N. w.
official word that we are all
wrong on this, and that Red
wood Falls is to have exactly
the splendid depot she has been
led to expect and which she has
a right to expect. We also await,
not patiently, but earnestly, a
change in train service which
shall show a consideration for
the convenience and comfort OF
