Richmond Mill to
Resume Operations
About September |

The Richmond Spinning Company
is closing its manufacturing work
until the first of September, accord
ing to an announcement by the re-
ceivers.
This mill started operations last
November with Harold S. Edwards
and Ernest L. Mclean as receivers
and has been operating continuously
since. General satisfaction is felt
that the mill has been able to oper-
ate during this period; period dur
ing which the wool market has been
most unsatisfactory and many of the
strongest mills in the country found
it advisable to temporarily cease
manufacturing.
The fact that the Richmond Mill
has been able to operate during this
period speaks most favorably for
this mill and has demonstrated that
under normal conditions it can be
operated most successfully.
The fact that the mill Is now
closing is not due to any fault Of the
mill but due entirely to trade con-
ditions.
1t is understood that the mill will
undoubtedly start up operations
September first and will thereafter
run continuously.

the first to get-the correct answer to
the store, so that they may get the
larger prizes offered. A number of
prizes are alse offered for others who
present their answers.
In glancing over the schedule, it
is to be noted that there are some
novel problems to come in the future:
some that may provoke a lot of dis
cussion, some that will require some
thinking, other that are catchy; with
such variety all may find some
thing interesting in some of the prob

the soldiers spent at the Fort in 1919
1920. With improper food, scurvy
broke out, and forty men, or a third
of the force, died before the epidem-
ic ended.
''The fate of the poor victims of the
endemic was sad, but most honor
able," and early historian reports.
"They passed away on a remote
frontier, amid a wilderness and un-
der circumstances of privation and
general distress, and were buried in
obscure and lonely graves whose To-
cation has long been unknown. But
they were American soldiers and died
in the service of their country, and
there can be no more glorious death.
The possession of the country de-
manded sacrifice and these gallent
spirits were the first martyrs to the
cause of the development and civil
ization of Minnesota and the North
west"
The interior of the chapel will be
arranged to commemorate many of
the historical associations of the old
Fort. Fitting memorials are being
planned for many of the men and
women who have figured in it's his
tory, and many of the stirring scenes
in which it has had part will be re-
called.
Patriotic organizations, civic asso-
Citations, and churches throughout
the state are raising funds for the
buildings. The Fort has no chapel
at present and the War Department
cannot use money for that purpose.
A citizens committee, headed by
Governor Christensen, has under
taken to raise the money by public
subscription and has conceived the
idea of coupling the chapel with a
memorial to the men from the Fort
who have given their lives for their
country.

Liability Act Held
Heavy Gopher Load

More than three times as many
personal injury claims arising under
the Federal employers liability act
have been imported into Minnesota
in the fast five years ending May 1,
1925, than in any other state, accord
ing to an interview published in the
Brown County Journal, with Edward
F. Flynn. director of the bureau of
public relations and assistant to the
vice president of the Great Northern
railway. The statistics form the
basis for campaign in Brown Coun-
ty for legislation to remove the bur-
den of cost in these cases from Min
nesota tax payers.
A total of $28, 169,756 was awarded
plaintiffs in the cases cited, which
were imported here from 20 states.
Wisconsin and Iowa were the great
est offenders with 1874 cases each.
while Montana came next with ISL
cases.
1t is estimated that the trial of
each of these 1882 cases cost the
counties hearing them a total of $3.50
each, which brings up the grard total
of cost to the taxpayers for cases in
which they have had absolutely no in
terest, to more than $250.00O:
From as far west as Washington
and as far east as Indiana the cases
have been brought. All of them in
question were against some railroad,
according to the Western Conference
of Railway Counsel at Chicago, and
the average increase in the total of

ANALYZES COSTS
OF ROAD BUILDING

$51,416.94 spent for maintenance,

This may seem to the Redwood Coun,

However, in 1920 the county spent
1925 10000 on its state roads, in
1921 $136,839.19; in 1922, S122, $685.

expenditure is indicative of several
things and is most encouraging.
