DR.. Ross Writes
Of Canadian Union
PASTOR FINDS LACK IN ORGAN
IZATION; TROUBLED BY
LIQUOR CONDITIONS

Under date of Winnipeg, July 18th,
DR.. A. w. Ross, pastor of the Red
wood Falls Presbyterian church, who,
with Mrs. Ross, is making an extend
ed visit to Canada and the west,
writes as follows
81 had intended going to Fisher
River, our old Indian home, by the
overland route as the water route is
not available except by small boat or
canoe, but on investigation l found
that it would take more time than
/ could spare. So l have spent the
time renewing old acquaintance here
in the city, attending circus with
our two grandchildren and studying
the Union" Of the three denomina-
tions here in Canada, which has just
been concluded by Federal legisla-
tion.
"The opposition to it has been most
ly from the Presbyterian church and
in the East, as the West seems to be
strongly in favor of it. So far, after
a careful survey of all the available
information l am Of the opinion that
it will be organic union without the
union our Saviour prayed for in the
seventeenth chapter of st. John. /
am disappointed in it and with it, be-
cause it bears the marks of political
effort rather than the spontaneous
outflow of a real union of the spir-
it.
"The Province of Saskatchewan
yesterday voted out its prohibition
legislation by about 10000 of a ma
jority. This. will no doubt be used
by the liquor interests this fall in
Minnesota. They killed prohibition
in Manitoba some time ago and the
law of government control is so gross
ly violated that l am told that liquor
is sold in many places by the glass
as freely as in the old saloon days
(the price being higher) and that lit
tie or no notice is being taken of it
by law officers. 1 find many who
are advocating the open bar as of
old, in preference to the government
control and sale in packages only.
Prohibition strictly enforced is the
only safe thing in any civilized
country
'We leave for the west next Tues
day morning.
Fraternally yours,
A. w. Ross.

Ford Garage
Opens Monday
HANDSOME NEW BUILDING
OPEN FOR INSPECTION MON
DAY, JULY 2STH

One of the big events of next week
in Redwood Falls is the formal open
ing of the new Ford Service Station
which has recently taken up its home
in the handsome new building on
Second Street. The building has been
occupied since July 1st but has been
incomplete. The work of finishing 1t
is going rapidly forward, however,
and Fred Carity, the owner and
manager states that all will be in
readiness for the big housewarming
Monday, July 2Sth. Mr.. Carity and
his assistants will keep open house
all day in order that everyone may
have an opportunity to inspect the
building. A dance in the evening,
with music by the Dream orchestra,
will be one of the most pleasing feat
ures of the event.
The building which is such an ad-
dition to the business section of
Redwood Falls was erected by A. C.
Burmeister according to plans espe-
cially designed for Mr.. Carity's use.
The full basement below, the ground
floor and the second story, all easily
accessible by means of an electric ell
evator, afford spacious quarters for
show purposes, stock rooms, work
rooms, rest rooms and storage of
cars. A drive from Second Street
through to Third Street adds to the
convenience of the patrons of the ga
rage. Doors closing by an automatic
system are another convenience and
are one of the many features which
make the building the acme of mod
ernity.
1t is impossible to describe in de-
tail the many virtues of the building
which is such a credit to the city
and speaks so we'll both for Mr.. Bur-
Y,eister and Mr.. Carity who so well
and substantially planned it and to
R. F. Byram who has had supervision
of the staff of local workmen respon-

Court Reporter and
Wife i'm Accident

Court Reporter Wenzel Eckstein
and wife of New Ulm and party of
friends from St. Peter figured in an
auto accident just as they were driv-
ing into Springfield on the state road
from the west Monday evening at
about seven o'clock. According to
Mr.. Eckstein he was obliged to turn
into the ditch to avoid collision with
a car coming from crossroad on
his left.
The bort sedan in which the party
were riding was tipped on it's side,
bending the right fender and demol-
ishing the glass in the door. A five
year-old girl had her leg quite badly
cut about the knee, the remaining
occupants being uninjured.
The party were on their way home
from Window and Pierre, S. Dak.,
where they had been visiting friends.

Tracy Man L0, ~ ~ esS
Home a. Cash

AS victims Of the Tracy-Balaton
storm, which devastated large area
several weeks ago, progress with
their reconstruction work, they find
time now and then to "swap" stories
to which the tornado gave birth.
The latest story which went the
rounds is that of Jack Wolford, a
farmer, who takes his loss philoso-
phically. He built new home few
years ago, home which his neigh
bors envied because it contained vir-
tually all the conveniences found in
the houses of which city folk boast
so much. The tornado swept the
house from its foundation, together
with $4,000 in cash which Wolford
kept hidden. Wolford now is penni-
less, and will "begin all over again. "

Monte People Are
"Keen" About Park

Many Montevideo people were
among the visitors at Ramsey State
Park, near Redwood Falls, Sunday.
Large crowds Of tourists, and people
from all over Southern Minnesota
take advantage Of this park, and ev-
cry holiday finds it crowded with
pleasure seekers. The route from
Montevideo to Redwood Falls and
the State park is easily followed.
State Highways No. 81 and IA be-
ing taken nearly all the way. The
road is, well travelled and in excel
lent condition.
Ramsey State Park is one of the
most wonderful places in historic
southern Minnesota, and a spot of
rare scenic beauty. Accession to the
park and to the tops of the hills COM
posing it is made possible by series
of well grayelled roads, winding, one
above the other, around the hills.
To one who has the energy to
climb the steep, narrow paths to as
cend the bluffs across Ramsey Creek,
the hills, the prairie and the town
of Redwood Falls with the roads like
white ribbons among the trees, un-
annie beauty.
One of the especial attractions of
the park is herd of deer and elk,
and large bison or buffalo, living in
an inclosure of several acres near
the edge Of the park. Although the
animals were wild when brought to
the park, they are quite tame and
the younger ones viii eat grass from
the hands Of the curious visitors

Farmer
Fatally Injured
OTTO MARTIN, FORMER RED
WOOD COUNTY RESIDENT,
MOONSHINE VICTIM

An auto accident which resulted in
the death of Otto Martin, tenant, on
the Ed. j. Fernholz farm in Mulligan
township, occurred late Wednesday
evening of last week near the old
Raschke farm in the same township,
about seven miles east of Comfrey.
His companion, Ed. Wallin, of the
same community was uninjured but
was so dazed that he was unable to
render assistance or call for help.
1t is alleged that both men were un-
der the influence of moonshine.
The death car belonged to Martin,
who was at the wheel, and in a state
ment made at the Loretto hospital
at New Ulm where he was taken for
medical attention, the dying man
took all responsibility upon himself.
Martin stated that he lost control of
the machine and that the auto turned
turtle, pinning him beneath it. Wal
lin as thrown clear of the car and
escaped injury.
The accident occurred at about
1920 at night and from that time
until about 7:15 next morning, Mar
tin was beneath the car. If Martin
was conscious during the long hours
he lay pinned under the machine, he
must have suffered excruciating pain,
for in addition to sustaining a frac-
ture of the right collar bone and a
compound fracture of the right leg,
he was terribly scalded from the radi-
ator, besides receiving fatal internal
injuries. His hands and portions of
his body were severely bruised. He
succumbed at the hospital at about
midnight, Thursday night.
Martin was past AT years of age,
having been born in Germany in May,
1877. After emigrating to the Unit
ed States in 1909, he located in Red
wood county near Springfield and lat
er came to Brown county and was
employed as a farm hand until rent
ing the Fernholz farm, which is To-
Gated about seven miles north of
Comfrey. He was unmarried and
his brothers and sisters reside in Ger
many. Wallin is said to have been
Martins boon companion, spending
much of his time in the latter's bach
elor home.-Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

Three Members
Are Elected
SCHOOL PATRONS ELECT DIR. J.
w. INGLIS, ]. CORBET AND
B. nj. WILSON

The annual school election in Inde-
pendent District No. 1 was held at
the high school building Saturday ev-
ening, July 1. The election was pre-
ceded by the usual business meeting
with A. C. Burmeister presiding. The
regular routine business of the an
nual meeting, including the accept
ance of the treasurer's report, was
transacted.
The Parent Teachers Association
presented the names of three candi-
dates:-Joe Corbet, to fill out the
unexpired term of j. R. Keefe who
recently resigned, j. w. Inglis to
succeed himself for three year term
and Mrs. Bess M. Wilson to succeed
Mrs. A. M. Carr who refused to be
candidate for another term.
Two hundred thirty seven votes
were cast. DIR. j. w. Inglis received
two hundred and eleven votes which
was a splendid endorsement of the
excellent work Dr. Inglis has done as
a board member Jos. Corbet receiv-
ed the next highest number of a hun
dred sixty-four, Bess M. Wilson re-
ceived one hundred fifty-six, j. p.
Cooper received fifty-seven votes, p.
]. Kolbet thirty-eight, C. F. Gales
twenty-one and there were four scat
tering votes.
The legality of the election is
questioned on the grounds that since
there were no filings for the election,
the printing Of ballots was unlawful.
City Attorney A. C. Dollif
has unofficially stated that he is of
the opinion that there is no point Of
law involved. Secretary Inglis has
presented the matter to the Attorney
General of Minnesota for his consid-
Grafton and a report Of his opinion
will be made later.

Fair Premium List
to Be Issued Soon

Work on the premium list for the
Redwood County Fair has started
and the book will be issued within
the next two weeks. While the num-
Der of changes made by the Direct
ors of the Redwood County Agricul
ture Society is not great, there are
a few changes which will be of much
interest to exhibitors.
1t is the especial desire of the
Board that more Farmers Clubs
shall exhibit booths, these affording
a most attractive and educational
means of making interesting exhibits
of farm goods. Last year only two
of these booths were shown, but there
is little doubt that they attracted as
much attention as any other single
feature Of the fair. With a view to
getting more Clubs interested in such
displays there has been an increase
in prizes. The first prize this year
is $45.00, the second is $500 and all
other exhibits will be paid $4,000
each unless disqualified. With the
number of active farm clubs there
are in Redwood County it is hoped
that there may be at least six or
clSut SUCH cAIlDlLS. 1uCIc nave UCCA
few increases in prizes and several
articles added, especially in the home
economics department.
The Entry date this year is Mon
day, September 22nd and the fair
continues until Friday night of that
week. There will be the usual a.
mnsement features, the big display
made by school children and club
workers, free amusements which are
to be changed each day, and other
features to bear out the reputation
the Redwood County event has Of
being the best County Fair in Min
nesota. President F. G. Hubbard,
Secretary w. 81. Hauck, and their
aide-de-camps are already actively on
the job, and at this stage Of the
proceedings everything is most prom
ising.

BO0tleggers to
Be Photographed
ALLEGED LAXNESS IN JAILS
REPORTED TO QVALE,
FRENCH STATES

Because the government suspects
that convicted bootleggers are hiring
substitutes to serve their sentences
in county jails and prisons, the gov
ernment plans to photograph boot
leggers to prevent such substitution.
Lafayette French, Jr., United States
district attorney, Of Duluth announc-
ed Wednesday.
At present there is no practical
way to tell whether the man who
walks into the county Jail to which
John Doe, bootlegger, has been SEN,
fenced, and who says, 81 am John
Doe / have come to serve my time,"
really is Doe or a man hired by Doe
to sojourn as the governments guest
for the period Of the sentence, while
Doe spends his time in the profitable
liquor vending pursuit to which he
has grown accustomed, charging the
pay of his substitute, presumably, to
overhead, Mr.. French said.
Many bootleggers, upon conviction,
get stay Of few days in their
sentences, presumably to wind up
their affairs, and it is the opinion OF
the government that this interval of
a week or so, some times more, per-
mits the substitution. Frequently
court adjourns for the term while
the bootleggers under sentence are
enjoying freedom under bond, he said,
and when the men come to surren-
der they do not face the prohibition
agents, the government attorneys,
nor the judges who convicted them,
but jailers and sheriffs unfamiliar
with their physiognomy.
The opportunity for substitution
of these prisoners is easily apparent,
Mr.. French said, and it is the gov
ernment's belief that. it is going on
at present and has been for some
time, though he said it is difficult
to prove.
The use Of photographs was decfd-
ed upon, and the pictures may be
used in much the same manner upon
commitment papers in the future as
they are upon passports and other
similar papers. This method will
make it certain that the penalties
handed out by federal judges win be
paid by the men for whom they are
intended and not by second parties.
In addition to preventing substitu-
tion Of prisoners, Mr.. French said,
the photographs also could serve in
identifying some of the men who,
arrested for the second or third
times, use fictitious names in order
to avoid more serious Jail sentence,
or possible Imprisonment at Leaven-
worth.
"This work should be in charge Of
prohibition forces" Mr.. French said.
"and such an arrangement would
have been made some time ago when
the reports of the operations of the
bootleggers first. reached us, but for
the fact that there were no funds
available. However, some such an
arrangement is necessary to prevent
the liquor law violators from escap-
ing serving their time in jail"
Mr.. French said the matter of sub
stitution by the bootleggers in jails
has been placed before 8. B. Qvale,
state prohibition director. along
with information concerning alleged
laxness Of certain jailers.
