BULLETIN GIVEN
ON CIRCLE TOURS
TOLD BY HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT HOW THEY GO
NORTH OR SOUTH WITHOUT
ENTERING LARGE CITIES.

Last week the Gazette pubhshed
several routes showing how motorists
going to the State Fair or other
points in or near the Twin Cities
might avoid the congested down town
districts. This week, through the
courtesy of the State Highway de-
partment, the Gazette is able to list
some routes which make it possible
to travel between southern and
northern Minnesota without going in
to the large cities at all.
One such "belt line" is composed of
trunk highways So, 81, %, "a and %.
This combination of highways forms
a circle around the cities, starting at
Red Wing and going through Zum-
brota, Faribault, St. Peter, Gaylord,
Gencoe, Hutchinson, Litchfield, st.
Cloud, Milaca and Mora to connec-
ton with No. 1 at Mission Creek. 1t
touches or crosses highways south,
20, Sc, south, 13, 5 south, IA, IL, 10,
SO, 8 north, 18, north and 1 north.
Another belt line closer to the cit
les is No. %, which starts from No. 5
at Belle Plaine, crosses No. IL at
Norwood and No. 10 at Montrose,
touches No. SO at Buffalo and end at
a junction with No. 3 at Big Lake.
From Big Lake it is possible to go
either northwest to St. Cloud or north
and northeast via Elk River and Mil
aca. From Belle Plaine one can 60
over trunk highways, with the aid OF
some state aid roads as connecting
links, to all points in southeastern
Minnesota.
When the last link in the pavement
being built by Dakota county is COM
pleted this fall, it will be possible to
go over this road from South st. Paul
to Mendoza, over pavement to Mime
haha parkway, over the Minneapolis
parkways around Calhoun and Glen
wood park, Victory drive, st. Anthony
parkway to a connection with Larpen-
teur avenue in St. Paul, then over
Wheelock parkway to Phalen park,
Earl Street to trunk highway No. 8
and No. to Newport. Then by us
ing the toll bridge at Inver Grove one
can get back to the starting point at
South st. Paul. This circle tour
crosses all the trunk highways lead
ing into the Twin Cities. Short
stretches Of it 60 into the residence
districts but none Of it goes into any
business streets.
BY consulting the highway maps It
is possible to find other routes, both
near and far from the cities, which
help to avoid the more congestec
highways.

COUNTY
LAND SALES BOOM
LOCAL AGENCY DISPOSES OF 943
ACRES IN AUGUST 1927, FOR
AVERAGE OF S122. HIGHEST
is 5000 PER ACRE.

During the month of August 1927
the VIM. M. Smith Land Agency of
Redwcod- Falls disposed of nine farms
through sales and one trade, a total
acreage of 1243 acres. Land ranging
from the lowest price Of $4,000 per
acre to the highest Of $4,000 per
acre brought total of $112,605.0O
for the several deals.
The $4,000 per acre deal was the
Berdan farm of eighty acres near
Morgan with VIM. Kamhold of Nor
gan as purchaser. The other sales
and the amount received are the D..
C. Mott farm, Wabasso, to Weber
Brothers, 160 acres at $4,000; the
Oliver Natrass farm, Brookville, to
VIM. jacobson, eighty acres at $751;
so; the Hubert Royer place to the
Tetricks, eighty acres at $4,000; the
B. ]. Parson farm, known as the AL
bert March place, 1877 acres at
$125.O0, in this deal, however, Mr..
Parson comes into possession Of a 800
acre tract in Mahnomen county.
The P. F. O'Niell farm in Renville
County to Mike Goblirsch, 80 acres at
$4,000; the Sommerville farm Of LAG
acres to Mike Rothmeir for the con-
sideration of $4,000 per acre and
the Riordon farm of 100 acres. to
Loreen Simon at $4,000 per acre.
The total acreage through sales
amounts to 943 acres and averages
$4,000 per acre, an extremely large
average considering the alleged de-
preston in land sales in Southern
Minnesota. Mr.. j. r. Keefe, agent,
connected with the local agency,
states that there are several other
large deals pending in Redwood
County.
Another point of interest in the
August farm sales is the fact that
practically all of the purchasers win
operate the land purchased.

WALTON LEAGUE
CODE OF ETHICS
DRIVE NOW ON TO INCREASE
LOCAL MEMBERSHIP IN WAL
TON LEAGUE. CODE OF ETH
ICE SUBMITTED BY MEMBER.

A drive is now on to enlarge. the
membership in the Izaak Walton
League. Several members of the
league have been soliciting member
ships in Redwood Falls the past few
days. In connection with the men,
bership drive one of the members of
the local chapter offered clipping
from the Pope County Tribune for
publication regarding the ethics Of
the league. The clipping reads as
follows:
The Izaak Walton League has out
lined code Of ethics for urban camp
ers and tourists which should go far
toward eliminating the animosity OF
farmers who have been sorely tried
by careless persons who seem to dis
regard property rights. Fair-minded
persons can hardly blame the farmer
for being out of sorts when bunch
of city folks walk over his fields, tear
down fences, leave gates open and
otherwise damage his property.
To the credit of the average fisher
man let it be said they regard post
ed spots, usually are considerate OF
fields Of grain and generally observe
property rights.
With the camping and picnic sea-
son now on, here is the code of the
Izaak Walton League to guide you
be you tourist, one-day picnicker or
Just passer-by.
Never leave a gate open, permit
ting cattle and livestock to wander
from their pastures.
Don't disfigure or displace natural
resources.
Be hiker, not a "ride-cager."
Don't trespass on forbidden ground
or hunt or fish on posted land.
Don't roam across planted fields
walk around them.
Build camp fire, not roaring in
ferno.
Drown the fire with water when
camp is broken and do not scatter the
embers.
Be courteous. Leave a note OF
thanks in any wilderness shelter us

|SHARKEY IS SURE
HE'LL WIN fight
Ends Training Confident That He
Will Beat Dempsey

New York. July 20 R1His hard
work all behind him. Jack Sharkey
was more confident than ever today
that he would beat Jack Dempsey
in their 15-round bout tomorrow
night at the Yankee stadium, and
win his way to championship
battle with Gene Tunney.
II want to see what Dempsey will
do when I sock him on the jaw"
That was one of the Boston Lithuan-
ian's first remarks after he had laid
away his gloves, following his final
workout yesterday. .....
I'm beat him." Sharkey said. I'm
bigger than I ever was. I'm strong
er. I'm hitting harder. l always
could hit when I wanted to, so
have no fear Of Dempsey's hitting.
l mean to say that whenever 1 set
solidly, like any other hitter, 1
could always punch hard. But the
difficulty in that Is that in setting
yourself you are exposed to being
nit just as hard as you hit, and I
see no sense in giving an opponent
better than an even break in this
respect. That's the reason I have
specialized in boxing, rather than in
hitting. I can accomplish the same
end"
sharkey's plan of battle, he said,
has not been determined.
That's up to Dempsey" he as
serted. You have to adjust your
self to conditions inside the ropes as
you find them. I'll go into this fight
with no set plan of battle"
Sharkeys last workout indicated
that he expects to carry on a de-
fensive battle at the outset. Against
Paul Cavalier, a sparring partner, he
held his right arm close to his body
against attack from a left hook. His
counter offensive as shown against
others OF his staff is topped by a
lightning right uppercut. Sharkey
was finding his openings quickly in
the last days drill. He took several
hard left hooks on the jaw without
wincing and In fast exchanges he
seldom missed on his own thrusts.
Sharkey will engage in no exer-
else whatever today.
Tex Richard announced that the
advance sale Of tickets had reached
the 100000 mark. Tomorrow
nights show is expected to draw ap-
proximately one and one-quarter
million dollars, the largest gate for

tory.

favorite punch until the moorings
strained and the leather straps
threatened to fly from the hangings.
Startlcs Spectators
In the last two workouts Demp-
sey has progressed with a rushing
drive that has appeared almost
startling to the few remaining war
correspondents. Weight seemed to
slip from him suddenly. and speed
infused in him over night as the vim
and dash Of physical perfection ar
rives exactly at the proper moment.
The sluggish Dempsey Of the early
weeks was lost in figure reminis-
cent Of Toledo and Boyles Thirty
Acres days, Dempsey's weight,
around 200 for a week, dropped to
1913. and the former champion is
expected to enter the ring scarcely
two pounds over that figure.
Dempsey's schedule today calls
for trip to Albany about II a. m.
He will catch train for New York,
where he will go into seclusion at
hotel until the fight.
