LARGER P0STOFFICE
QUARTERS NEEDED:
BIDS CALLED FOR
INSPECTOR HUGHES TO COME
JULY 10TH TO CONSIDER BIDS
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 twt
thereby enlarging the work room.

TWIN CITY PEOPLE
PREPARE FOR OLD
HOME TOWN PICNIC
OLD DAYS TO BE TALKED OVER
WHEN "OLD TIMERS MEET AT
LAKE HARRIET SATURDAY,
JUNE 26TH.

Twin City residents who formerly
lived in Redwood Falls and county
will meet for their annual picnic par
ty at Lake Harriet grounds in Mime
apolis,- Saturday afternoon and even
ing, June 26th. They invite their old
Redwood neighbors anywhere to join
them.
When Redwood Falls was the farth-
est frontier settlement of Southwest
Minnesota and became the chief trad
ing center of the upper Minnesota Val
ley the biggest business Of the town
was the fur trading store of Louis
Roberts. The manager of this store
for two years was Howard Clarke, as
sisted by Indians and half breeds.
Furs came here from the far west
and from as far north as Canada. One
item of the purchases made by Mr..
Clark one year was 1000 buffalo robes
at $1.00 each. The home of Mr.. Clarke
for several years was in Fort Ridgely
and he knew all the frontiersmen Of
that time, both whites and Indians.
He recently died in Minneapolis where
his family and other relatives now
live.
One of the most industrious and en-
terprising of the Indians of the Red
wood County colony has been George
Crooks who in early days lived with
his father and family in the Redwood
valley and remembers when they did
their trading with Mr. Clark. Mr..
Crooks and family now live in St.
Paul.

JACK MIDDLETON
RETURNS FROM
AFRICAN STAY
MARSHALL MAN HOME FOR VA
CATION AFTER WORK IN DIA-
MOND MINES; is BROTHER TO
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
ton of Redwood Falls, from the wilds
of Africa. A portion Of the story is
reprinted here.
Strange and exciting tales of ex-
periences in the African bush coun-
try, of the quaint, primitive customs
of the natives, of thrilling encounters
with wild animals, of penetrating
territories never before traversed by
a white man, were told here this
week by ]. L. Middleton, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Middleton and
graduate of the University of Mime
sofa, on his return from two years
spent in the heart of Africa.
"Jack, as he is best known to his
friends here, went into the Belgian
Congo in 1924, the representative of
an American Belgian diamond com
pany with headquarters at BRUSSELS,
Belgium, and sub-offices in New York
City. He returned home Saturday
for a few months vacation with his
parents, after which he will go back
to the equatorial district for two more
years.
"The Congo is not bad place to
live, Jack said Monday night, and
contrary to popular conception there
is not a 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 wild lion
and sometimes went for several weeks

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 hghtest
that has ever been cast in any prim-
airy election in Minnesota there were
still some tremendous victories won.
Notably leading these was the lead of
Governor Christianson over his op-
ponent George Leach of Minneapolis.
The Governor won the nomination by
a more than two to one vote, carry
ing many precincts that mad been con-
ceded to Leach for months 1ast. 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. l. Nolan, the present Lieutenant
Governor, who also polled 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 time from his
long service as Secretary of State.
After his long absence Mr.. Schmahl
comes out victorious in a 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 $4,000. 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" scented to
have all its old vote-pulline power and
voters all over the state rallied to it's
banner.
The largest majority vote of any
one on the Republican ticket was won
by Ray p Chase, the candidate to sue
ceed 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 winne.. in a field
of five.
The contest between Magnus John
son and Tom Davis, both Farmer-La-
Dor candidates for the pubernatorial
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 TribAne Of Wednes-
day morning gives the majority fig
ures as 1000 with many sections of
the state still not definitely reported.
The Lieutenant Governor nominee on
this ticket is Emil E. Holms. These
two Offices constituted the only con
tests on this ticket.
I. P. Larson, Auditor Of Redwood
County, states that for the first time
during. his tenure Of oifiqe the re-
turns from over the county were COM
plete the day after election, the final
precincts sending in returns by the
last train Tuesday afternoon. The
vote on both tickets was deploraby
light over the comfy, probably be-
cause there was no. primary contest
for any county office
