Another Train, Please.

The new president of the Chicago
and North Western Railway company,
F. w. Sargent, sends The Messenger
copy of general letter which he
has issued to all employees of that
railroad. The letter urges the en-
ployees to commend Chicago and
North Western Railway service to
others. "Your Company" the let
ter reads, "is prepared to handle an
ever increasing volume of business
both freight and passenger" 1t
concludes with the statement, "Youl
cooperation with the management in
it's effort to secure a sustained and
increased traffic will, I am sure, be
most helpful" The Messenger woulG
suggest to the Northwestern that
one of the best ways of increasing
business on the Redwood Falls branch
would be to greatly improve the SER
vice which can be one, we are sure
at a small increase in operating ex-
pense. Under the new one train sche-
dule passengers for Morgan, Gilfil-
land and Redwood Falls arriving on
the main line day trains must lay
over in Sleepy Eye from mid-after-
noon until the following forenoon
If on Saturday they must wait un-
til Monday. To make the best con-
nection possible the trip to Sleepy
Eye must be made on the night trains
in the early morning, and wait until
$3.50 to catch a Redwood branch train.
That seems a great deal like telling
the public, in an inferential way, that
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1925-07-22

consequently travel has not been as
heavy on the route as it will be in
time to come. Moreover tourists and
strangers do not find it listed on the
road maps as main road since the
nill is not improved.
In speaking to The Messenger about
the matter County Highway Engineer
John F. O'Meara stated that when
completed the hill should make a
good route for motorists. The grade
will average about eight per cent,
which will be much less than at pres
ent. Furthermore by frightening the
route and making long sweeping
curves, sharp turns are eliminated,
and a driver will be able to see at
least 800 feet ahead at any point on
the hill, and most of the distance,
much further than that. The hill
will commence and end at practically
the same points as at present but
otherwise the route will be recon-
structed SO that the old hill can be
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1925-07-22

used without interference while the
new hill is being constructed. This
is considered quite an advantage since
travel on state road No. 2 need not
be detoured while the road work on
the hill is underway.
The cost Of the hill improvement
is estimated at about $4,000 and in
cludes widening and grading, clear
ing and grubbing and necessary cul-
berts.
The present road down the bluffs
is 1900 feet long and has some sharp
turns that endanger motor traffic.
Moreover the sun rarely reaches GER
tain stretches of the road and in
winter especially there are sections
of the hill that are difficult to make
when road conditions are unfavorable.
The new route will be 200 feet longer
and the roadway will be widened,
with bitches to catch the snow and
water, and trees will be grubbed away
so that the sun can get to the road
much better, and thus from every
standpoint it is believed that the i'm
proved hill route will be an immense
Improvement.
The job has been divided into two
or three proposals, and bids were
received by the county board on July
14th. Whether the work will be done
in the mediate future, or be post
poned until winter or early spring
will depend on the bidders. If con-
siderable money can be saved by ac-
cepting the bid of some contractor
who is too busy to do the work fol
the next two months, but could do il
in the winter or early spring it i
probable that the board would con
! slider this but if there is no great
financial consideration involved the
work will very likely be done the
present season. This would be more
satisfactory so they could have the
advantage of the improved hill mex
winter. When the work is done
however, the old road will be avail
able for traffic until the new route i
finished.-Morgan Messenger.

A SOLDERING INFLUENCE.

If every person with money knew
that in case of war this money
would be taken from him and used
as needed-if he were to sacrifice
his capital just as the soldier sacri-
fees his time and even his life, the
men with money would do everything
in their power to prevent such t
condition from coming. They would
not leave a stone unturned to prevent
this communicating of capital. And
the men of wealth of this Nation
have great deal to say in regard
to its wartime affairs just as they
have in times of peace.-Cashmere

Cheer Up and
Keep Digging;
Crisis Passed

Business in general throughout the
country seems to be looking up
Everybody seems to be of the opin-
ion that the country has passed
through its worst period so far as
business depression is concerned.
With present good crop prospects
there are indications that business in
all lines will greatly pick up from
now on.
Martin county land, as well as other
land throughout this part of the coun-
try, which has offered no perceptable
inducement to buying for the past
five years owing to the slump in
business and farm products prices,
is at last showing signs of renewed
life.
Cheer up! If you just hang on,
the poor house will never be your
portion!
There are many encouraging signs
of business improvement as well as
future prosperity of the state in the
day-to-day reports now carried in
newspapers.

Hill To Be Improved

The Redwood County Board has
determined to construct a new route
down Good thunder hill on the north
state road. The Goodthunder hill so
called is the hill near Morton lead
ing down the Minnesota river valley

Indian church and school. It is the
terminus of state road No. running
north and south through Morgan COM

miles south of Morgan, and joining

Electricity on the farm is only the
vanguard of all the other modern con-
veniences, such as water pressure sys-
TENS and plumbing facilities, was the
statement of DR.. H. M. Crothers, dean of
the division Of engineering at South Da-
kota State college, in his address this
morning before the North Central Elec-
trio association, which is holding it's an
nual convention here, July Is to II. DIR.
Crother's talk was largely report of the
Renner experimental electric farm line,
which is located few miles north of
Sioux Falls and which is project under
the supervision of South Dakota State col
Iege The object of this experimental ru-
raj electric line is to find out the POSSIBLE
ties of making economical use of electri-
city on the farm, both from the farmers
standpoint and from the standpoint Of the
power companies.
The North Central Electric association,
which is associated with the National
Electric Light association, has member
ship which includes those engaged in ev-
cry line of the electrical industry in South
Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota.
1t is and will continue to be interesting
to note the change that electricity viii
make in the farm homes" Dean Crothers
stated I'm South Dakota, as in most other
states, the farm home needs some other
modern conveniences as much as it needs

against Os,o45.es the last fiscal

year.
The tax on telephone and telegraph
tolls, which was wiped out, resulted
in loss to the government of at least
the $251, 200 which was collected last
year.
The manufacturers excise which
also was done away with in large
measure resulted in a drop of ap-
proximately $250,0O0 in revenue
largely due to abolition of the tax
on candy which last year amounted
to 100000 alone.
The jeweiry tax also was practical
ly done away with and the tax on adj

sive methods of sheep production have
declined without corresponding grow

in world sheep population will un-
doubtedly depend on the incorporation
of the small flock into the farm live

electric lights. On the Renner line now,
three farm homes have water pressure
systems installed. One farm has two sys-
TENS, one for soft water and the other
for hard water.
with water pressure systems and farm
septic tanks available at cost that is not
prohibitive, it seems likely that all the
modern conveniences will be gradually
adopted in those farm homes supplied with
electric power to about the same extent
that they have been adopted in the cities
and towns"
The problem of feed grinding is one of
the most difficult in the Renner expert
ment, the dean pointed out. The difficulty
Of encouraging slow speed grinding with
small power demands, rather than high
speed grinding with large power demands,
is great. The tendency is to throw the
grinding load on at chore time, which is
the period when the stations peak loads
occur. This is very satisfactory.
The development of electric service in
the community of Renner is still in pro-
gress and the study should be kept up for
at least another year and probably longer"
Crothers said. The proper use of electric
power for feed grinding, the economy of
electric ranges, the effect Of electric power
on the modeFnization and regulation of the
line load, these and many other ques-
tions are practically untouched as yet on
this project"

rum syndicate backed by millions of
dollars at the command of French and
British financiers and operating in
the United States through the influ-
ence of wealthy Americans in several
instances of high social and politi-
cal connections, is revealed in the
ships papers of the schooner Cherie,
seized off the Maine coast and whose
half million dollar cargo of high grade
liquors Is now under guard in the rum
room of the Federal building here.
Names of the British and French
hackers are in the hands of the gov

we'll as proof that the half million
dollar cargo was intended for wealthy
residents of Maine summer resorts.
That the cargo of the Cherie had
been already purchased by Maine res

Party in Nova Scotia with late re-
turns in the general provincial elec-

Conservatives and three Liberals to

years since 1867 has Nova Scotia
had Conservatives government.
Premier E. H. Armstrong went
down to defeat with his government,
of which only one member was re-

will be called upon to form the new
ed by comfortable majority.
The sweeping Conservative victory
was unexpected The popular belief
was that if the government were de-
feated it would be by narrow mar
gin.
Only one Labor candidate was re-
elected, and he ran under Conserva-
