Statement by
Local Fire Chief.

ut has come to my attention that
many residents Of Redwood Falls do
not deem the grade school building a
fire menace. In my judgment it is a
fire hazard of the very worst sort
and the Redwood Falls Fire Depart
ment has condemned the building.
This hazardous condition rests upon
several things.
First: The narrow halls, poorly
lighted, make a real maze which
would provide an almost impossible
means of exit in case of panic caus-
ed by the children seeing or smelling
smoke and fire. Should fire break
out in the basement, as most school
fires do, it would be practically i'm
possible to get the children from the
upper story out with the necessary
rapidity.
Second: Through continued use OF
oil sweeping compounds for the past
many years, the floors and stairways
have become so oil-soaked that they
are literally fire kindling and even a
slight blaze would spread with terri
BILE rapidity because of this. This
condition is one that has caused more
tragedies in fire factories throughout
the United States than any one other
-factor-a Redwood Falls has thai
condition to face in it's local building
Third: Railings which have been
put up to lessen the possibility OF
crowding, etc. are wholly inadequate
in case of pupils crowding against
them when frightened and fighting to
get out of the building. They offer
practically no protection and the local
Department fully recognizes their in
efficiency.
Fourth: Because of the location OF
the furnace room the stairway anc
hall which must serve as an exit fol
a large number of pupils in case OF
fire would be cut off and the danger
greatly increased by this. 1 can see
no way whereby the present building
could be so remodeled as to make il
anything but a serious fire hazard
Any member of the Fire Department
will be glad to take any doubtful per-
son to the building and prove any
of these statements"
Joe Corbett,
Chief Redwood Falls Fire
Department.

Wins The Cow
REDWOOD HOSPITAL WINS HEIF
Err; OWNER OF, HOLSTEIN
CALF UNKNOWN.

The Holstein Cattle Campaign, con-
Quoted for the past two months by the
Merchants Association of Redwood
Falls, closed last Saturday evening
with the drawing taking place as
announced. The first number drawn,
5,542 was held by C. A. Hillig OF
Redwood Falls, the second number
drawn, 135,86l, was held by the Red
wood Falls Hospital and the holder OF
the third one, 10000, has not yet
been announced Two other drawings
were also made. and in case any of
the animals are not claimed within
a reasonable length of time the second
drawing Of tickets will be used to de-
eide who is the owner.
The 1929 tickets >used in the
drawing were placed in large tank
and three volunteers from the crowd
of interested bystanders selected
Andrew Stewart of Redwood Falls to
do the drawing. w. A. Hauck, secre-
tary of the Merchant Association
presided at the drawing which disin-
terested persons proclaim to have been
absolutely fair and unbiased.
Because of the general disappoint-
ment that the winners in the campaign
chanced to be business men instead
of farmers of the community, the AS
sociation is planning upon featuring
another. campaign of somewhat
similar nature, but so arranged that
no resident of the city of Redwood
Falls can be a beneficiary. The mo-
tive back of this sort of campaign is
to increase the interest of farmers
in fine dairy cattle and it is felt that
this purpose cannot be fulfilled when
residents of the city are privileged
to take part in it. The cow offered as
the first prize of the recent campaign
has been purchased by Jens Schou OF
Morgan and will be added to his al
ready splendid herd. What DISPOSE
ton will be made of the other two
the heifer and the calf, has not beer
decided.

Greeley's day and the old frontier has
gone never to return. 1t is true that
all the wild places of the west have
been conquered, yet today the chal-
lenge of Horace Greeley rings as true
as when first uttered. While the
Pioneer days are gone in Minnesota,
the real development of the state has
just begun, today the greatest need
is young men and Redwood County
offers opportunities unsurpassed.
Much Land Reclaimed
Searching the great undeveloped
areas Of the western states for possi-
BILE locations for reclamation projects,
the federal and state governments,
railroads., enterprising individuals,
and corporations have joined forces
in the conquest of the west and have
brought about an epoch in the de-
yelopment of this region. Thriving
communities have sprung up where the
wheels of industry now hum under
the busy hand of ambitious, indepen-
dent, happy and contented people.
Tens of thousands of American peo-
pie have risen from humble employ
ment to the full measure of indepen-
dent existence, producing the neces-
stiles of life from the soils of the
earth.
Greeley's Slogan Again
"Back to the farm" has grown to
be a national slogan and where ever
transportation has made easily acces-
sible the areas reclaimed by drainage,
clearing and other projects, as well as
scientific farming, the lands have been
fruitful and profitable to the salts
faction of the most enthusiastic.
Westward has swept great army
of industrious home making people,
who have swarmed to these areas and
are building substantial and lasting
agricultural communities. Along
with the other states, Minnesota has
received portion of this western i'm
migration, but the portion has been
altogether too small in view of the
inducements the state has to offer.

A system of highways traversing
the entire state is placing the rural
sections in close touch with market
ing points. Adequate marketing faci-
lities, railroad connections, and ev-
cry possible means has been provided
to augment the efforts of the agricul-
turist in tilling the soil Of Minnesota.
Climate Attractive
The climate Of Redwood County is
mild invigorating and very healthful
The winters are reasonably dry and
seldom severe to the point of incon-
venience. Frequently for weeks in
the middle of the winter the sunshines
warm and bright. The average num-
Der of days in the year which are not
even cloudy is in the neighborhood OF
250. The springs are early and usu-
ally spring work can begin the middle
Of march or the first of April. The
summers are very delightful with fire.
