To Start Cut
Rate Oil Station
Christensen and Anderson Build
East of City on Highway
Number IA

With the construction of service
station by Christensen and Anderson
at the east end of the city limits on
the south side of Highway No. IA,
the tenth oil station is added to the
city.
Building operations are in progress
on lots purchased from Charles Bar
mum. A refreshment and fruit stand
will be operated in conjunction with
the station. Both buildings are
framework structures.
Christensen and Anderson who
came from Springfield decided Red
wood Falls was the best location at
ter looking over many other sites In
Southern Minnesota. In event high
way IA is rerouted it's location will
be ideal, as it generally thought that
the road will follow the east side of
the city and enter highway IA some
where at this point.
This station will be ready for bust
ness about the middle of this month
and will be operated on cut rate
basis, as are other stations in south
ern Minnesota that are supplied with
gasoline by the Webb company OF
Tracy.
The general consensus of other
station operators indicates that they
are prepared to meet this competi-
ton by lowering of prices. Re-
ports point to drop in prices by the
major oil companies about the fif-
teenth of this month.
In Mankato a cut price war result
ed with the operation of a station on
a Webb cut rate policy. Gasoline
dropped to 1875 cents when station
attendants working on commission
basis felt their earning falling off
with this cut rate competition. Other
cities affected with cut rate competl-
ton are Pipestone, Window and
Fairmont.

IL ACCIDENTAL DEATHS IN

There were twelve deaths due to
accidental causes in the period from
September 1, 1929 to September l,
1890, according to the coroner's GER
tificates on file with Clerk of Court

Last year there were thirteen, re-
presenting a decrease of one. Con-
trary to the common belief the auto
mobile did not take the biggest toll,
as only three were caused by crash
es, while gun shots were responsible
for two deaths.
