Historic Lecture
Here April 28
1. r. ADAMS OF MINNEAPOLIS
TO TALK ON HISTORY OF
UPPER MINNESOTA.
MANY ILLUSTRATIONS USED.
INDIAN TROUBLES OF 1862 PRE-
SENTED IN INTERESTING WAY:
EVERYONE INVITED.

Persons interested in the historic
past of the upper Minnesota Valley
have real treat in store for them
when A. T. Adams of Minneapolis
gives his lecture on the most dramatic
chapter in this history. This lecture
Illustrated with many stereoptican
views, will be given at the Redwood
Falls Armory, Friday evening, April
%, at eight o'clock
Mr.. Adams has spent much time in
gathering information concerning the
early history of the Upper Minnesota
and especially of the Indian uprising
of 1862 which started in the Redwood
Sioux Indian Agency. He has pre-
pared a map of the upper Minnesota
valley showing the principal points of
interest directly connected with the
most disasterous conflict between the
red man and the white man that has
occurred on the American Continent,
most of the events being located be-
tween New Ulm and Granite Falls.
Mr.. Adams has repeatedly visited
this section and found all monuments
and markers and other historic sites,
has interviewed Indians and earliest
white settlers. and examined other
sources of information, as preparation
for lectures on this subject.
The thrilling episodes of this early
pioneer period are now almost un-
known to the present residents of this
locality and a keen interest in this
event will insure a large attendance.
Since, as Mr.. Adams will demon
strate in his lecture, Redwood Falls
is the geographical centre of this in
teresting area, it is fitting that this
city should be selected as the place
for the holding of this address. Ev-
cry one in the Minnesota Valley is.
very cordially invited to attend. The
very nominal prices of ten and twen-
ty-fve, cents will be charged since it
is the purpose to raise just the funds
necessary to take care of the expense
of the hall and Mr.. Adams travelling
expenses. He makes no charge for
his services, which is most generous
that he has been to great
expense in accommodating information
etc. Mr.. Adams is an
in one of the Minneapolis
high schools and has been at pains
to prepare this lecture simply because
of his keen interest in the history of
1t is especially desireous that the
school children of the county and the
counties be given an op-
portunity to hear Mr.. Adams tell the
story of Indian Days. 1t
is story which will appeal to youth
full minds and will serve to lay a
foundation for very real interest in
the history Of this valley and of the
entire state. Parents and teachers
are urged to see that all children of
school age are given an opportunity
to hear this.

There are at present two criminal
cases on the calendar. C.. L. Burlet

TIONS FOR ROAD WORK IN
MORGAN TOWNSHIP GRANTED.

| The Commissioners of Redwood Coun-
ty met in a special session at one O.
clock Tuesday, April for the consid-
Grafton of various items of county
business.
Miss Mrytle Miller who has served
the county as county school nurse
for the past several months, resigned
because of bad health and her resigna-
tion was accepted. Miss Miller has
been unable to work for the last sew
eral weeks spending the greater part
Of this time in the Redwood Falls
hospital. Her work in the county has

regret that the commissioners releas-
ed her from a continuance of that
work.

between sections Is and %; IA and
%; 13 and "a in the Township of
Morgan was presented to the County
Board and on motion Of John Welter
duly passed. Said road was design
ated a state road to be built by the
County, the Township of Morgan and
Village of Morgan having agreed to
pay one-fourth of the expenses in sur
veying, grading, graveling and build
ing bridges and culverts on said road.
The Township and Village also agree
to maintain said road to such time as
the County can build same.

Ditch Contract
Let for No. 81
CONTRACT GIVEN TO NEW ULM
DRAINAGE AND CONSTRUC-
TION COMPANY.

The letting of the contract for tile
work on County Ditch No. 54 was
held April 10. The date first set for
this matter was March "a, and it was
then adjourned to April 4, and then,
at the request of landowners, it was
adjourned to Monday, April 10. At
this time the landowners presented a
petition with forty-one signatures,
asking the Letting Board to accept
the lowest bid for cement tile. This
bid was about $4,000 less than the
lowest bid for clay tile. There had
been several tests taken and the soil
showed some alkali, therefore the Let
ting Board felt that if the landowners
wanted cement tile they should go on
record asking for the same.
The contract was let to the New
Ulm Drainage and Construction Com
pany.

Phone Hearing
Is Quiet
COMMISSIONER BOWEN CONSID-
ERS INCREASE IN LOCAL i.
RATES. DECISION SOON.

Ivan Bowen of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission was in Red
wood Falls Thursday of last week to
hold the hearing on the proposed in
crease Of rates for the local telephone
company. The attendance at the
hearing was very small, many of the
residents confusing the time of the
hearing believing that the meeting
was to be held in the afternoon in
stead of in the morning. This con-
fusion was aided by the misleading
article in The Gazette stating that the
afternoon was the time of the gather
ing, the editor failing to keep in mind
the time that was clearly specified in
the notice of the hearing published by
the Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion.
Very little objection to the pro-
posed increase was made, and the
only reason for any protest that was
given was that the condition of busi-
ness at present made an increase
somewhat of a burden to some
patrons. There was no objection to
the services rendered by the Company
nor any verdict other than that the
installation of the new equipment, etc.
was justified. Thinking patrons are
bearing in mind the fact the Redwood
Falls is furnishing an automatic SER
vice at lower rate than many towns
are receiving the less efficient manual
service for, and feel that the increase
is justifable.
Commissioner Bowen stated that a
thorough investigation Of all claims
would be made and the result Of the
hearing made known as soon as possi-
BILE, probably within the next thirty
or sixty days. He expressed his sat
isfaction at finding such an excellent
system and one so well handled, and
stated that only two towns outside
of the Twin Cities can boast of an
automatic plant similar to the one
here. These towns are Rochester and
Austin, both very much larger cities
than Redwood Falls.

Community Sale
Planned for June
COUNTY PURE-BRED BREEDERS
TO HOLD SALE OF FARM AN
IMALS OF BEST TYPE.

AS a result Of the success of the
Community Sale which was held
shortly after the fair last year, the
Pure-bred Breeders Association held
a meeting at the County Agents Of
flee last Wednesday and decided to
hold another Community Sale of cat
tie only, on the 18th of June.
The Association felt so encouraged
by the final settlement Of last years
sale which has just been completed
that it was UNANIMOUSLY voted to hold
another sale on the above stated
date.
A. P. Rams, A. M. Dennistoun, Carl
Goodyear and Max Treu were appoint
ed to act as Committee to pass on
all animals which are offered for. the
sale, for if the Community Sale is to
continue in Redwood County, and if
a good price for the animals offered
for auction is demanded then it is
necessary to maintain a high standard
Of all the animals which are allowed
to enter the Sales ring.
The Association feels that a great
deal of the success of last years sale
was attributed to the fact that a high
standard of animals were sold as a
consequence of the selection made by
the Sales Committee previous to the
date of sale.
Those who have cattle and desire
to enter their stock for the sale Of
June 18th are urged to Immediately
communicate with Max Treu, County
Agent and Secretary of the Associa-
ton.

Cyrus Northrup
Called by Death
PRESIDENT EMERITUS, UNIV
TING AT HIS DESK.

DR.. Cyrus R. Northrup, president
emeritus of the University Of Mime
sofa, dropped dead of heart disease at
five O'Clock Monday afternoon, while
at work on the manuscript of an un-
finished speech which was to have been
delivered to the students of the Uni
versity next Monday. The subject of
the speech was "Love."
DR.. Northrup was known, loved and
revered throughout the state as an
educator, editor, legislator, admins
traitor, and writer.
Miss Ella Whitney, Dr. Northrup's
private secretary for many years,
was with him when he died.
President Emeritus Northrup had
been the guiding spirit of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota for the past twenty
seven years. He had watched it grow
from an obscure school to one of the
largest state universities in the I'm
tied States.
DIR. Northrup was born in Ridge
field, Conn. Sept. 30, 1884. He gradu-
ated from Yale in 1857, and from Yale
law school in 1859. He was elected
state representative of Connecticut in
1860, and to the state senate in 1862.
That same year he became editor of
the New Haven Daily Palladium. He
was professor of rhetoric and Eng
lish literature at Yale college in 1863
and 1864, and came to Minnesota to
assume the presidency of the univer-
sity in 1884. In 1911 he was made
president emeritus of the University
of Minnesota.
Funeral services were conducted
at the First Congregational Church,
Fifth street and Fifth avenue S. E.,
Minneapolis, at 1000 o'clock a. M,
Thursday. The funeral cortege lef.
the church, proceeded to Four
teenth avenue S. E., and passed
through the main gate of the Univer-
sity campus, crossing the campus be-
tween an honor guard of University
cadets.

Protests
Against Decrease
WOMEN, VOTERS PASS RESOLU-
+ TION AGAINST CUT IN
TEACHERS SALARIES.

A resolution passed at the recent
Executive Board meeting of the Min
nesota League of Women Voters in
dicates that the League does not look
with favor upon the proposed cut in
teachers salaries in this state. The
resolution reads as follows:
WHEREAS the cumulative opinion
of Minnesota citizens is evidently in
favor of an adequate teaching staff
for its children, and,
WHEREAS it has taken the con-
structive effort of all persons inter
ested over a considerable length of
time to raise the scale of teacher s
pay to a point which would approx
mate the grade of service we desire,
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the
Executive Board of the Minnesota
League of Women Voters. in regular
meeting deplore the recent action of
the Minnesota School Board Associa-
tion in recommending a general cut
in the salaries of Minnesota School
teachers as indicative of retregres-
sion in our educational policy.
The occasion of the Boards action
was the stand recently taken by the
State School Board Association, in
favor of a general decrease in teach
er's salaries. But the underlying
cause of the Leagues strong express
sion of disapproval Of such a policy of
false economy is the realization that
in the last resort the one essential to
improvement in public school educa-
tion is quality of teaching. Unless
young men and women of first-rate
ability about to choose career can
look with favor upon the profession
of teaching everything else that may
be done in behalf of public schools is
in vain. Able men and women who
have an inclination for teaching will
not choose that profession unless the
financial rewards are somewhat COM
parable to those offered for the same
degree Of ability by other careers.
Better pay for teachers should be
urged upon the tax payer, not as a
measure in behalf Of teachers, but in
behalf of his children for whom the
best in education will not be available
unless young people of ability are at
tracted to the teaching profession by
the esteem in which that profession
is held and of which adequate financial
compensation is the surest indication.
It cannot too often be said that
economy in schools is usually false
and it is perhaps not too much to
say that every other item of public
expense should be cut down for the
purpose of making it unnecessary to
decrease the school budget.
