DOING FAST WORK
 ON COUNTY ROADS

Under the direction of County Judge E. L. Smith rapid progress is being made by the county road crew in overhauling the earth roads. For the past three or four weeks, when ever weather would permit, the crew has been working on roads in Cadron, Danley and Benedict townships, west and south of the railroad, and one more week will complete the work .n this part of the county, Judge Smith said today. The roads from Conway to the Arkansas river are Icing wo, k ed this week and the road from Cad ron Gap to Gleason will be graded next, after which the crew will be moved to Hardin and Mathews town ships.
 Some excellent work has been done at a remarkably small cost recently, Judge Smith said. The coad from Conway to Rocky Gap and thence to Mayfower has been put in the best shape it ever was, and .he total cos. for grading the entire 23 miles of the road was only slightly over $700, he said. Judge Smith says he finds the caterpillar tractor very efficient piece of machinery for power, and he is using it in all work now. The road gang costs the county $35 day, the judge said, exclusive of gasoline and oil for the machinery, which cost about $10 per day.

Redwood Beats
Lambefton Boys
LOCAL DICTIONARIES VICTORS
IN THURSDAY EVENING GAME.
SCORE As TO IA.
(By Legion Reporter)

What was considered one of the
fastest games of the season was enjoy
led by the large crowd which attended
the Lamberton-Red Game at the
Redwood Falls armory last Thursday
evenings Lamberton came prepared
to "do" the local team but went home
with the memories of 45 to ID drub-
bing handed them by the Redwood
Falls players. Advance reports and
notices of the wonderful Lamberton
team were received here. These re-
ports, coupled with the prophecy that
Redwood Falls was due for an awful
beating, and the fact that Lamberton
forgot to remember that Redwood
Falls also has basketball team of
some class, brought out large crowd
/ to see which team really is the best.
Although the local boys admitted that
the game would be close they never
dreamed of taking beating, so they
went forth and handed the visitors one
of the worst trimmings" they have
had this season.
The much-touted Bouck and Nigg
show their ability, because of the good
guarding of CLANCY and Buff. The
rest of the Redwood Team devoted
their time to shooting baskets. Lam
berton started out we'll, making a
basket in a few minutes, but it wasn't
long before the locals began an attack
that brought them victory. The Wis
| itors fought hard and in the first half
played in some hard luck, but fight as
they would, they soon found them
selves outclassed.
Mason, at forward, played one of the
best games of his career, playing a
hard, fighting, floor game and break
| ing through the visitors defense at
will for baskets. When everything
was over Macie had gathered II field
baskets for his evenings work. Greg
or at the other forward, entertained
the crowd with his clever floor work
and besides shooting baskets from
the field, showed his class in the free
throw line by making out of 8 at
tempts. Dahmes played good game
at center and, besides holding the
! famous Nigg without basket, found
time enough to go hunting to bag 5
field baskets himself CLANCY and
Buff again showed why Redwood's op-
ponents hadn't run up very big scores
this season. Their guarding was air.
tight holding the Lamberton forwards
to only Sfield goals, trick which re-

Redwood always rests easy when these

peppy game. The game was excep-
tionally clean and full of friendly ri

Buffalo Secured
for Ramsey Park.

Through the effort of Congressman
Frank Clague of Redwood Falls RAM
sew State Park is to have a buffalo
bull to add to the herd of animals al
ready in the Park. This information
was given in a letter recently received
by j. R. Keefe, chairman of the Ram
sey Park Committee. The animal is
one of a herd of sixteen which is kept
at the Wichita National Forest and
Game Preserve in Oklahoma and could
have been secured only by Mr.. Clague
or some person of equal official in
1uence. Because of the difference in
climate it is probable that the buffalo
will not be shipped here until near
spring. Efforts to secure buffalo
COW also may be made by the Park
Committee a little later.
