CountyC Commissioners Larson
is not a man given to com
plants or lamentations over
trif1es, but the last time he was
going to meet with the rest of
the County Dads and found
upon arriving in Kramer that
the 500 had decided to take a
vacation for a few days, for no
apparent reason but that the
sun was shining too brightly,
he felt peeved to say the least.
This was his third unsuccessful
attempt in succession to get
to Bottineau via the 500. by

The Chas. Buchanan house,
better known as the Hoffos
house, in the southeastern part
of the city was almost COM
pletely Quilted by fire Saturday
night. The origin Of the fire re-
mains a mystery, as it appar-
emily started in the wood
shed. The fire department re-
sponded promptly and had the
flames under control in a few
minutes after its arrival, but
the light wooden structure
burned like a finder box and,
while the outside walls appear
to be almost intact the entire
interior with the exception of
the second story was complete
ly Quilted by the flames. The
house was occupied by the
Logan Buchanan family, but
none of the members of the
household happened to be at
home when the blaze starte d.
There was $1,000 insurance
carried, which will only parti-
ally cover the loss.

New Building
IS Dedicated
Dist. No. 4 Holds Exercises Fri
day Afternoon after Splendid
Picnic Lunch

The splendid new school build
ing recently completed in Dis
trict 4 was dedicated with ap-
propriate exercises last Friday.
A picnic dinner was served at
noon and nearly ninety people
of the district and community
thoroughly enjoyed the banquet
and the program which followed
in the afternoon.
Mr.. Challman, the State Ru-
raj School Commissioner, was
present and gave an interesting
talk on Three Fundamental Pow
ers. Mr.. Challman developed the
ideas of chemistry and mechan-
les being strong educational fea-
lures; of conservation Of nat
ural resources being necessary,
proving that powers are no good
unless there is power Of mind
first; and lastly the idea of the
Importance of children as as
sets and that these children are
entitled to the encouragement
and assistance which comes
through fine equipment.
Supt. Adella G.. Pratt of Red
wood County also gave an in
teresting talk on the compari-
sons of the old buildings and
old equipment and old methods
with those of the present day.
A. D. Stewart talked briefly
on the comparison of old condi-
tions with the new, dwelling on
the needs of an education which
will fit for practical conditions
and on the Importance of right
home influence. Prof. P. V. Fin
ley also gave a short talk on ed
ucational conditions. Robert
Stewart and Chas. VIM were
called upon and gave interest
ing talks upon schools, buildings
and teachers as they were sew
eral years ago. Several songs
were sung by the school during
the afternoon and the program
closed by everyone singing
America.
The members of the board OF
education, Thos. Whittet, Ed
Dunlevy and H. Hillman, are tt
be commended for their work
on the new building which is q
credit to the county. Miss Lulu
BOpes is the teacher.

LambertOn Sees
Elevators Burn
Farmers Elevator And Contents
Completely Destroyed Last
Wednesday Night
BUILDING VALUED AT $4,000
Rest of Town Threatened by
Flames; Company Will Re-
build in The Spring

The Farmers Elevator at Lam
berton was completely destroyed
by fire which broke out about
midnight Wednesday night. The
building itself was valued at ap-
proximately $4,000 and was pro-
tected by $4,000 insurance. The
building contained a quantity of
grain, about 10000 bushels be-
ing the estimate made by the
manager, T. Masterson, and
$1,000 worth Of flour had been
put into the building late We'd
nesday afternoon. Some coal
was also burned and the COM
plete loss is a heavy one.
The fire, which was apparent
ly started from the soft coal
burner in the elevator office, had
gained such Roadway by the time
the water was turned on that
there was no chance Of saving
the elevator and efforts were
directed towards saving the
depot which was greatly en-
dangered. Fortunately the nigh
wind which was blowing did not
change or the entire town would
have been in the greatest danger.
It is reported that the eleva.
tor will be rebuilt early next
season, and the company will
resume operations in spite of
its heavy loss.

High School Team
Meets Wells Team.
Negative Team to Debate at
High School Next Monday
Evening with Wells Team
TEAM AT LUVERNE
Superintendent from St. Peter,
Fairfax and Winthrop Will
Act as Judges

The next high school debate
will be held in the high school
assembly room ON the evening
of Monday, January 81, when
the local negative team will
meet the affirmative team from
Wells. The visiting team is com-
posed of two young ladies and
young man.
The question is one of decided
interest just now: Resolved
that the United States should
materially increase it's military
and naval ornaments" Red
wood Falls, represented by Nor
ris Darrell, Myrl Williams and
Fred Kumm will support the
negative. The judges will be,
Supt. B. M. Cosgrove of St.
Peter ,Supt. O. C. Youngdahl of
Fairfax, and Supt. R. j. Moul-
ton Of Winthrop.
On the same evening the affir-
NATIVE team, Andy Luscher,
Leon Luscher and Max Stevens,
will meet Luverne's team at Lu-
verne, the two contests determ-
lining the championship Of the
Second Congressional District.
The boys defeated New Ulm
and Sleepy Eye in December and
can be depended on to make a
creditable showing. Unfortu-
nately the attendance at the
New Ulm debate was small. AS
considerable money is required
to pay the expenses of the visit
ing team and of the judges, it
can easily bes seen that unless the
attendance is larger, it may be
necessary to abandon the debate
work.
The admission will be 25c. The

Benefit Recital
Is Well Received
Concert Program at Methodist
Church Monday Evening Was
Well Attended
EVERY NUMBER GOOD
Edward Swain of Madison Is
Assisted by Local Talent in
Excellent Program

Inc Benefit Recital given
Monday evening at the Metho-
dist Church by the ladies of St.
Veronica's Guild was one of the
best local musical entertain
ments Redwood Falls has had
for some time and was unusual
ly well attended by the people
of the city.
Edward Swain of Madison,
Wis, was the only outside tai
ent appearing on the program.
Mr.. Swain has a beautiful bari
tone voice which was heard for
the first time Monday evening
by the majority of his audience.
Mr.. Swain sang several selec-
tions charmingly his rendition of
two little Irish Love Songs by
Lohr making special appeal
to his listeners, and he was most
generous in his response to en-
cores. The simple interpreted
ton Of his songs and the ease
with which he sang were not
the least of Mr.. SWANS charms.
Miss FELTON, played several or
gan selections with very good
effect, her work in the selections
from William Tell being espe-
cially we'll received. Miss Eel
ton accompanied Mr.. Swain in
his solos. The other accompan-
lists were Mrs. w. B. Clement
and Miss Schmokel.
The local singers who took
part in the program numbers
were Mrs. Jobusch, Mrs. Neiman
Mrs. Ward, Miss Barnes, Miss
Horn, G.. Lukens, H. Jordan, w.
B. Clement, G.. A. Lauterbach,
J. w. Neiman and F. L. Tout. A
double quartette sang the Gloria
in E. Flat with artistic effect
and a duet from The Princess
Pat was greatly enjoyed. The
Girls Glee Club Of the nigh
school gave a very we'll rendered
song and Miss Ellen Horn
whistled Mendelssohn's Spring
Song with distinctive charm.
Mrs. T. E. Finn read Kip
ling's Ballad of the East and
West and My Rival in a way
most pleasing to the audience
with whom Mrs. Finn is always
most popular in her readings.
She also read the humorous A
Similar Case, giving a clever bit
Of impersonation which was de-
lightful.
The proceeds of the ticket
sale will be used to help in the
erection of a new Guild HALL
which the parish expects to
erect soon. Just what the net
proceeds of the evening are has
not yet been announced.

Gernand, the accompanist, has
had concert and lyceum expert
ence before giving her services

The Rector of the Church of
the Holy Communion and the
members of St. Veronica's Guild
wish to extend to the public
their heartiest thanks for the
patronage and assistance given
them at the Monday evening re-
cital, and for the many cour-
tesies extended them by the 9TH

so freely gave of their time and
talent for the cause. Both in
dividuals and churches were ex-
ceedingly kind and gracious and
those most directly interested
in the recital are most appre-
ciative.

Water Right at
North Redwood
Sold Last Week
Outside Capitalists Purchase
Option on Water Power; Will
Build Big Dam is RumOr
SELLS AT ABOUT $4,000
A. C.. Burmeister Refuses to Set
Price on Local Power; Two
Offers of Purchase Made

From authentic reports it has
become known that an option on
the water-power at North Red
wood has been purchased by
capitalists who are endeavoring
to get the control of the water
power furnished by the Mime
sofa River. Mr.. Peters, repre-
senting the purchaser whose
name has not been revealed up
to the present time, was at
North Redwood looking over the
situation and it is understood
the Mr.. Dancingburg, the for
mer owner, has transferred the
property. The price given for
the option is not definitely
known although it is known that
it was held a short time ago at
$4,000.
Mr.. Peters also called upon
A. C. Burmeister who holds the
control Of the water power at
Redwood Falls and urged Him
to set a price on an option on
the power here. This Mr.. Bur-
meister positively refused co do
as he has no intention of dis
posing Of his rights here. The
local power has been harnessed
at considerable expenditure of
labor and money and there is
apparently no reason why it's
control should be given to out
side capital, and several very
good reasons why it should not
be. This is the second request
Mr.. Burmeister has had very
recently to set a price on his
property, but he has declined to
Go so both times.
| Just what the new owners
will do with their new possess
sion has not been announced al
though it is rumored that a
large dam will be put in during
the next few months and all the
power put to use. The mill at
North Redwood has been un-
used practically all of the time
recently and it will probably
make way for some other in
dustry for which the power will
be used.

Farmers Institute

Monday and Tuesday of last
week one of the State Institute
corps was in Redwood and held
meetings at the Court House.
The attendance was reasonably
good considering the cold wealth
er and the fact that the meet
ings came so early in the week,
and good interest was shown.
Mr.. Bracket talked along the
lines of horticultural and poul-
try; the growing of fruits, both
small and large was discussed.
Mr.. Bracket maintained that
one of the chief reasons that
fruit is not grown more success
fully in Minnesota is because
proper care is not given to the
selection of varieties, and the
handling Of the plants. He al
so believes that the only reason
for the West excelling us in the
quality of apples is because they
hand pick and sort theirs and
we do not. Some very helpful
and instructive points in the
care and management of poul-
try were also developed by Mr..
Bracket.
Mr.. Mesenbring Of Cologne
gave the discussion on various
dairy topics and always held the
interest of his audience. Mr..
Westerveld gave some splendid
talks on concrete construction,
and answered many questions
that were asked about the faults
Of cement. This is a question
Of interest these days because
of the cost Of lumber.
Mr.. Gaumnitz, who should
have been the leader in the dis
cussion of live stock, failed to
arrive Tuesday and many were
greatly disappointed.
Mrs. Law gave a short talk
at the close of the session, her
general subject being good
health. The talk was both in
teresting and instructive and
should have been heard by a
much greater number than was
present.
