FOR ROOMS LARGE ENOUGH
TO HANDLE BUSINESS.


Post Office Inspector w. NJ Hughes
was. in Redwood Falls the first of
June to consult with the postmaster
in regard to leasing adequate quart
ers for the post office
The ten year lease on the present
quarters expires December 1st, of
this year. Notice has been posted in
the post office lobby calling for bids
for new lease and anyone desiring to
put in bids may get the specifica-
tions from the postmaster. Inspector
Hughes will be here July 10th to open
the bids.
In 1916, the year the present lease
was made, the receipts of the office
were .$11,179.53 and there were nc
city carrieds and only three clerks
The receipts for the~year 1925 were
twice as much as the year 1916. One
additional clerk and two city carriers
have been added to the force since
then.
The work room at present is not
large enough. The. present location
! would be adequate if the lobby, which
is unusually large, could be cut in tvs
thereby charging the work room.

GOVERNOR WINS
BIG MAJORITY
OVER LEACH
JULIUS. SCHMAHL PILES UP OLD
TIME MAJORITY AS CANDID
DATE FOR STATE
TREASURER
MAGNUS JOHNSON WINS
PRIMARY VOTE LIGHTEST EVER
CAST; COUNTY AND RED
WOOD FALLS FOR THEO.
CHRISTIANSON.

/ With Mondays vote the lightest
that has ever been cast in any prinl-
airy election in Minnesota there were
still some tremendous victories won.
Notably leading these was the lead of
Governor Christensen over his OPP
/ ponent George Leach of Minneapolis.
The Governor won the nomination by
more than two to one vote, carry
ing many precincts that mad been con-
coded to Leach for months 9ast While
Republicans all over the state had
felt that Governor Christian on would
be the nominee to succeed himself they
had not all looked for such startling
majority. His running mate will be
{ w. |. Nolan, the present Lieutenant
Governor, who also polle1 big ma
jority.
Another big victory was that of
Julius A. Schmahl, formerly a Red
wood Falls citizen who YVES candidate
for the nomination for State Treas
urer. Mr.. Schmahl has been out of
state office for the past six years,
having retired at that tina from his
long service as Secretary of State.
After his long absence Mr.. Schmahl
comes out victorious in field of
four, his contest competitor being Ed
ward w. Stark, the present incum-
bent of the office. 1t is conceded that
Mr.. Schmahl's majority will be close
to 100000 This office offered one of
the problematical contests of the Re-
publican ticket and there was wide
variance in the prediction opinions
expressed as to it's outcome. The
name Julius Schmahl" seemed to
have all its old vote-pulling power and
voters all over the state rallied to its
banner.
The largest majority vote of any
one on the Republican, ticket was won
by Ray p Chase, the candidate to sue
coed himself as State Auditor. This
victory was expected since Mr.. Chase
has proved to be possibly the most
popular auditor the state has ever had
and his opponent was practically un-
known. Another big victor was
Clifford Hilton, Attorney General.
Grace Kaercher, Clerk of the Supreme
Corrt, was an easy winner in a field
of five.
The contest between Magnus John
son and Tom Davis, both Farmer-La-
Dor candidates for the. gubernatorial
nomination was much closer than that
of the Republican candidates. We'd
nesday morning it was conceded how
ever that Mr.. johnson was the winner.
The Minneapolis Trib1ne Of Wednes-
day morning gives the majority fig
ures as 1900 with many sections of
the state still not definitely reported
The Lieutenant Governor nominee on
this ticket is Emil E. Holnas. These
two offices constituted the only con-
tests on this ticket.
/. P. Larson, Auditor Of Redwood
County, states that for the first time
during his tenure of Office the re-
turns from over the county were. COM
plete the day after election, the final
precincts sending in returns by tie
last train Tuesday afternoon. The
vote. on both tickets was deplorab' Y
light over the comfy, probably be-
cause there was no. primary contest
for any county office.

REDWOOD FALLS RESIDENT.

The Marshall News Messenger. OF
last week contained an interesting
news story of the return of Jack Mid
dleton, brother of Mrs. S. A. Apple

reprinted here.
Strange and exciting tales of ex-
periences in the African bush coun-

territories never before traversed by
white man, were told here this
week by J.. L. Middleton, a son of

graduate of the University of Mime

for a few months vacation with his
parents, after which he will go back
to the equatorial district for two more

"The Congo is not a bad place to
live, Jack said Monday night, and
contrary to popular conception there
is not dangerous wild beast or a
poisonous snake just around. every
corner. In proof of this, he asserted
that during all the time he was in
the bush, he never saw a wild lion
and sometimes went for several weeks
