CHECK FORGER
CAUGHT IN NEW ULM

L. H. Redding, alias L. j. Rojiendo,
was arrested by Sheriff John Reitter
last week, on a charge of issuing
checks without funds. The sheriff
apprehended the man as he was eat
ing supper, at the Dutch Oven cafe,
in which place the bogus checks were
cashed. Rojiendo said that he is %
years of age, married, but has no
children.
Redding, or Rojiendo, came to New
Ulm the week before last ostensibly
as a representative of collection
agency seeking clients in that city,
and registered at a local hotel. He
went to the Dutch Oven cafe for
meals one day, and rendered two
checks-one for SIS, and the other for
$3.10-drawn on the West Side Ma
tional zank, Yakima, Washington,
and signed by L. ]. Rojiendo, but
with the payee's name left blank.
The cafe proprietor telegraphed to
the bank at Yakima, asking whether
the checks were good or not, and the
following day received the reply to
the effect that they were worthless.
The sheriff was notified, and the
mans arrest followed.
According to Redding's confession,
made to County Attorney Streissguth
and Sheriff Reitter, he has been
shifting around the country extern
| sively, maintaing no permanent
home, but gave his residence at
Grand Junction, Colorado. He has
been employed by several different
| collection agencies.
The county attorney filed an in
formation against him with District
Judge A. B. Gislason, and the man
was taken before the court, where
following his plea of guilty, Judge
deferred sentence, pending an investi-
| cation.

nized as one of the hardest on the
market. The Redwood wave has re-
Gently become popular where it was
formerly Stunned. 1t is reddish in
appearance with darker colored
waves and it takes a high polish.
Red granite is also quarried here and
is used for both building and monu-
mental purposes while the Gray
ledge and Redwood Wave are used
almost entirely for monuments be-
cause of their higher qualities.
The stone is removed in blocks
ranging from 25 to 80 tons in weight
according to the dimensions specified
by the order. These are freed by
drilling two or three holes which
range from five to ten feet in depth
and then blasting after the sides of
the block have been cleared. Small
er blocks of more convenient sizes
are then split off by means of wedges
before moving to the plant. The
stone quarried here is of such uni
form grain that it splits on a true
line.
Once in the plant the stone is di-
vided into the required sizes and the
painfully slow process of finishing
begun. A "rougher" lines up the
edges and large four-pointed air
hammer is set in operation. Eight
hours are required for this instru-
ment to knock off the toughest spots
and make So lot of granite available
for the next finishing process.
The stones, usually totalling about
80 square feet are placed side by side
and plaster of Paris is filled in be-
tween them to hold them in place and
provide a water-tight bed. The in
dividual pieces in place, large 1000
pound wheel of soft steel is set into
operation while steel shot are added
to provide grinding surfaces. Water
is added for cooling purposes during
the four hours required to cut down

who employ compound of rubber
glue in their work. The surface upon
which the design is to be cut is coat
ed with the rubber-glue and the de-
sign is then cut in the coating. After
the designers have finished their
work the stones are taken to the
sand-blast house where the actual
carving takes place. Here a fine
silica sand is blasted upon the coated
surfaces and the designs cut by the
flying sand. The rubber-glue protects
the surfaces were desired and the
cutting of the rock is only done
where the coating has been removed
by the designers. Workers in the
blasting process are protected by a
glass shield.
To date the company has confined
it's efforts to the monument trade, al
though it has the natural facilities to
supply builders with desired granite.
Selling of monuments is conducted
by the company's own sales force
which retails directly from the plant
at North Redwood to its buyers.

line with the aid of some excellent
blocking from his team mates. Red
wood scored first down as the half
ended with the ball within the 80
yard line.
Opening the second half Window
again received and after completing
one pass lost the ball to Redwood on
a tumble in midield. An exchange
of punts gained 20 yards for Red
wood and left the ball in their poss-
ession on WINDOWS 40 yard line.
Here Redwood began a determined
assault on the Window line and with
Baikie, Tom Finn, and Wyman Cor
bett doing the heavy work carried
the ball across for the only touch
down of the game shortly after the
final quarter opened.
Window elected to receive again
and after being downed on the 80
yard mark at the kickoff marched to
Redwood's 80 yard line with the aid
of off tackle slants and short passes.
A ruled interference on the part of
the Redwood Falls secondary defense
gave Window first down on the II
yard mark but the charging Cardinal
line was through on the next play
and Albright fell on the ball when
Window back fumbled.
Again in possession of the ball
Redwood Falls resumed its ground
gaining tactics and had made four
successive first downs before being
stopped by the final gun.
The line play Of Ewart again stood
out for Redwood Falls with Keefe
showing well at center. Albright at
right end showed flashes of his true
worth again while two freshmen,
Smith and Jim Inglis, more than held
their own at the left wing position.
Three more recruits, Becker, Stems
vad, and Albert Corbett, ably assist
ed Alexander in holding up the rest
of the line play. Jaehning, playing
at a strange position as halfback,
blocked well and once broke away for
a long gain around end. Finn, Cor
bett and Baikie again did the bulk of
the ball toting for Redwood Falls.
Coaches Brown and Christensen will
take their squad to Marshall, Sat-
urday, to meet that team in a game
to be played at 1880 a. m. Neither
team is defeated during the current
season and Marshall has run up some
high scores in it's early games. 1t is
expected some of the cripples and
previous ineligibilities will be avail
able for this game while Johnny
Finn is definitely out for the sea-
son with a bad shoulder.

PERSONAL PROPERTY /pF
ASSESSMENT UNCHANGED

There will be no change in the
personal property assessment for
1880 in the county and will remain
as equalized by the county board
with the exception of Item 55, rails,
poles, wires, etc. Notification as to
the new rate will be received later.
No change in the assessment of
shares in bank stock was also noted
in the information received by Coun-
ty Auditor Larson. In a letter to
Mr. Larson, N. A. Nelson, Secretary
to the State Tax Commission, makes
the following comment:
"The showing made is very graft
flying and | am directed by the board
of tax commissioners to express to
you and the members of the members
of the county board its appreciation
of the service rendered in carrying
out the assessment laws"

the necessary one-half inch.
Following the preliminary grind
ing another soft metal grinding disc
is brought into play with powdered
carborundum as the cutting agent.
This process removes the shot
scratches, furthers the smoothing of
surfaces and tends to close the pores
of. the granite during the hour and
half of operation.
Flour carborundum is then en-
ployed for about two hours to remove
any remaining scratches before the
final polishing process is begun. The
last stage of polishing requires felt
surfaced wheel to bring out the high
polish of the granite. A buffing
powder of tin oxide is used to secure
the best results during the two hours
of polishing.
Taking the polished blocks from
their beds workmen then use COM
pressed air chisels to fashion the tops
and foundation seats of the monu-
ments before the designs are cut.

Fergus Falls Editor
Praises Ramsey Park
Most Beautiful Spot in MinnesO-
ia says e. E. Adams After
Visit Here

Ramsey State Park again receives
favorable mention as one of the most
beautiful spots in Minnesota through
Elmer E. Adams, president of the
Fergus Falls Daily Journal and pre-
sident of the First National Bank of
that city. Mr.. Adams made an ex-
tensive trip through southern Mime
sofa last week and while on the trip
stopped in Redwood Falls and visited
Ramsey State Park. He was so i'm
pressed with it's beauty that he wrote
the following article for publication
in his daily paper:
"At Redwood Falls we visited the
Alexander Ramsey State Park
which is one of the most beautiful
spots l have ever seen in Minnesota.
What makes it particularly attractive
is that the gorges of the Redwood
river are in prairie country and
naturally come as surprise. l in
quired of a stranger the way to this
park, which consists of 100 acres, and
it so happened that the man Of whom
I inquired was Mr.. Joseph Tyson who
had laid out and built the roads in
the Park, and had much to do with
it's creation and preservation. He
very kindly offered to show us
through the Park, and under his di-
rection we saw and observed much
which would otherwise have been
missed. He is retired farmer who
loved trees and flowers and woh had
great pleasure in laying out LADY,
rinth of roads and setting out many
varieties of trees which were not in
digenous to the Park. 1t was surpris-
ing to find the number of trees which
grew naturally on that 100 acres of
land. To those which grew there ma
turally he added a great variety, so
that there is probably no place in the
see as many varieties of trees as he
does in this Alexander Ramsey Park.
Another statement made by Mr..
Adams relative to land sales and
values and which may cheer the
southern Minnesota farmer was that
although there was not great deal
of land being sold in this section of
the state at the present time, he
found that prices were very much
higher and fairer than in the section
of Minnesota of which Fergus Falls
is part. Also that there seemed to
be an increasing regard for the good
land of southern Minnesota.

STEEL OPERATIONS
SHOW SLIGHT GAIN
Improvement in Sentiment
Noted by iron Age Weekly
Review.
Rv tha Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Resentment
has improved In the iron and steel trade.
Iron Age says in its weekly review, but
to what extent this change Is based on
hopes rather than on justifable expec-
tations is still uncertain. Among the
favorable straws, it says, are an up
turn i'll steel production, following a
continuous decline since the middle of
February, and scattered evidences of
better demand.
Although neither the gain in output
nor the expansion of business is large"
the review states, 1.-THE pronounced con.
Servation of buyers makes the Industry
unusually sensitive to fluctuations in the
requirements of its customers. Mill back
logs are small and price unSettlement
dlScourageS forward contracting. Hence
any rise in commitments can be safely
regarded as rejecting an increase In
the actual needs of tie consuming trade.
The ingot output of the two largest
producers continues at slightly above
30 per cent, but the operations of some
of the smaller interests have shown irr1-
provement, raising the average for the
entire country to rs per cent, compared
with shade below rs per cent a week
ago. The rates for the two leading steel
centers, Pittsburgh and Chicago, remain
unchanged at rs and 95 per cent, re-
SpectiVely.
The most impressive indication of a
seasonal upturn in business is seen In
the placing of 100000 tons of plates
with Chicago mills for gas and oil pine.
including 10000 tons for a 24-inch gas
line from Texas to Omaha. On top of
these bookings, the steel trade looks for
considerable business in pipe for gaso-
line-carrying lines, in which oil COM
pan1es are showing a growing interest.
The Gulf Refining Co. is mentioned as
planning gasoline line across the
State of Pennsylvania, similar to that
contemplated by the Sun OH Co.
Seasonal influences are also seen in
better orders for sheets and other light
rolled products from sources other than
the automobile industry and in the
way program, which promises to get
under way in April.
LESS reassuring are the weeks de-
velopments among consuming lines that
have been giving the steel industry its
greatest support. Structural steel
awards. at 10000 tons, are the smallest
since the end of February and COM
pare with $1,000 tons week ago.
Pending inquiries for freight cars are
the smallest in year and the weeks
purchases were limited to 500 cars.
Structural steel awards in the past
week failed to make favorable show
about 10000 tons. There were few
of outstanding size"
The Iron Age composite prices re-
main unchanged. pig iron at Sits q
gross ton. and finished steel at 2.3l2
