Some of the local fishermen had
the good fortune to catch quite
string of white bass in the Minnesota
River one day last week. This is tie
first time any of these bass were
caught in this locality, and at first
the local anglers were unable 10
identify the species. They are known
as white or Silver bass, "R Chrysops"
and are plentiful in the Mississippi
river and are very good edible fish.
They are very fond of minnows, but
have been known to bite on worms.
1t would be a very good idea If the
game warden could be induced to CO.
operate to sein the Minnesota where
these fish have been caught and place
several hundred of the smaller ones
In Lake Redwood. This should be
done at once.-Redwood Falls Gaz-

ed operation after being closed for
some time on account of the difficult
ty of getting cement. A large ship
men of cement was received last
week and the factory will be run full
time hereafter, as long as the COM
pany is able to secure cement.
Large shipments of tile have been
going out from the local yard for
some time past to Sacred Heart, Will
mar Litchfield, Buffalo Lake and 9TH

been made to towns in Iowa and there

that place. A scarcity of cars has
been an obstacle to the company IN

dition is improving. Yesterday eight
empties were received at the factory
to be loaded and President McLaugh-
lin Of the company, who was here
from Mankato was pleased over the
prospects of being able to fill the or
ders on hand in reasonable time
