Old Gazette Tells
Interesting Things

On Monday of this week John Carl
lie brought to The Messenger office
an old copy Of the Redwood Gazette
in which there is some interesting
early day history. 1t is recounted
that the first train on the Sleepy Eye
Redwood branch was run on July 4,
1878. It was a real celebration day
for the settlers along the branch line.
The paper also told of the great snow
in 1880. The main line railroad west
of Sleepy Eye was blocked practi-
cally all winter. The branch line
was blocked for several weeks. At
places snow was filled in over bridges
and in cuts twenty feet high. On
April ID, 1881, train got through on
the branch for the first time in sever
al weeks. During the blockade mail
was brought up from Sleepy Eye on
hand sleds. One item stated, "By
drawing the sled up one side of the
snow drifts, and sliding down on the
other he (Mr. Watson, postmaster at
Redwood) managed to make pretty.
good time" Evidently the slogan
down with high prices isn't anything.
particularly new. An advertisement
of j. R. Wolff & Co., general firm
at Redwood long since out of business,
read Down with high prices. That is,
what we said when we opened our.
doors and now you can buy dry goods,
millinery, shoes, etc. as cheap here
as they are being sold in the large
cities or anywhere in the country. We
buy for cash and sell for cash, dis
count our bills, etc. etc" Prints and
calicos were quoted at cents per
yard.-Morgan Messenger. .,
