Sanders, in behalf of the Lions Club
of Redwood Falls, from Congressman
Frank Clague. Mr.. Clague who has
been corresponding with Mr.. Babcock,
forwarded the commissioners reply
to Mr.. Sanders.
The pavement, according to the
present plans Of the commissioner,
will reach from Redwood Falls to a
point between Franklin and Fairfax,
and perhaps farther. The letter for
warded by Mr.. Clague follows:
December 80, 1880.
Hon. Frank Clague,
House Of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. Clague: Re: Paving High
way IA from Redwood Falls East.
In response to your letter of De-
cember Goth, am pleased to advise
that the federal funds recently made
available by Congress will enable US
to make start on the paving of
Trunk Highway No. IA between Red
wood Falls and Winthrop. 1t is pro-
bable that we will be able to construct
fifteen miles with the funds which
now appear to be available for 1881
construction. This would mean the
paving from Redwood Falls to point
about midway between Franklin and
Fairfax.
Should the State Legislature pro-
vide for issuance of the maximum
amount of bonds permitted under our
present constitutional provisions, we
would undoubtedly be able to pave
the balance of Trunk Highway No. IA
so as to furnish a paved connection
from Redwood Falls to the Twin
Cities by the end of the 1881 con-
struction season.
Yours very truly,
DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS
(Signed) C. M. Babcock,
Commissioner of Highways.
Mr.. Clague, working with the Lions
Club of Redwood Falls has been an
important factor in obtaining hard
surface roads for southwestern Min
nesota.

Cardinal Basketeers
Nose Out New Ulm
Come From Behind in Last of
Fourth Quarter as Finn
Piles Up Count

Coming back in last minute squirt
after having been behind several
points, the Redwood high cagers
crept up on the New Ulm Purple
Aces to break a II to II score when
Tom Finn sank a shot from near
center of the floor. The final score
stood 10 to II, and Redwood Falls
still retains the undisputed lead in
the tenth basket ball district.
For the first time this season al
opposing team has scored ahead OF
the Cardinal cagers at any stage Of
t1e4 game. And as New Ulm loopeG
basket after basket from all angles
and ranges it looked as though the
Cardinals were due for their first de-
feat.
By cleverly managing the situation
the Redwood basketeers subdued the
determined opposition. New Ulm
stood helplessly baffled time after
time as Tom Finn kept the ball pass
ing from player to player. They
failed to effectively counter this style
of attack.
After piling up three points inside
of the first minute of play, New Ulm
started things moving fast. Red
wood men soon adapted themselves to
their style of play and guarded them
closely thereafter and broke up many
threatening attacks.
The local basketeers looped baskets
in quick succession and advanced five
points ahead as the first quarter end
ed. The game was fast, the floor
large and slippery,and the crowds
were enthusiastically pulling for their
respective teams.
New Ulm's Purple Aces came back
in grand style in the second quarter
and made a determined effort to get
in the lead. AS the half ended the
score was II to 10 in favor of Red
wood.
New Ulm tied and broke the score
at the beginning of the third quart
er on two free throws. Marks tried
his shooting ability and made several
ioop IuAouSH Tile DdShet giving Iucu
an advantage of Is to IL.
Redwood rallied in the last quarter.
Tom Finn tied the score II to II and
shortly after came through with a
long shot from near the center of the
floor. The score was 10 to II as the
final shot ended the game.
New Ulm looped five free throws
to Redwood's one, while Redwood
netted nine field goals to New Ulm's
six.
The Redwood Juniors won their
second game of the season by defeat
ing the New Ulm Juniors 9 to Z. Red
wood shot three field goals and three

One issue IN MAY
WOman's Club of Redwood Falls
to Have Charge of Gazette
for Week
EXTRA COPIES PRINTED
VIII Advertise Redwood Falls
Previous to Second District
Convention in June

Taking the phrase from the issue
of the Gazette of November %, 1895,
the Gazette will appear in "Bloomers"
for one issue in May when the
Woman's Club of Redwood Falls will
have complete charge. On November
%, 1895 the ladies of the Presbyter-
ian church assumed charge for one
week in an effort to raise sufficient
money for the purchase of a bell for
the church.
AS did their predecessors, the lad
les of 1881 will take command of the
three departments of the Gazette for
the one issue. They will have full
charge of the news, editorial and ad-
vertising departments. Their efforts
will be confined to editing an edition
which will advertise the Second Dis
trict Federation of Women's Clubs
convention to be held in Redwood
Falls on Wednesday and Thursday,
June and 4. Several thousand ex-
ira copies of the Gazette will be
printed for this issue and will be dis
tributed throughout the second dis
trict.
The money received by the Wo-
mans Club for their efforts will be
used to help defray the expenses of
the convention. Committees will be
appointed soon for work in the differ
ent departments.
With the district president, Mrs. A.
d. McRae, the district corresponding
secretary, Mrs. J. H. Wichman and
Mrs. P. M. Fuller parliamentarian, all
residents of Redwood Falls, the con-
vention is expected to eclipse others

Storts Cuts Big
Supply Of Ice
Employs Eighteen Men to Put
Up 1900 Tons; Thickness
of Ice Fifteen Inches

Employing Is men the Scenic City
Ice company started the annual ice
harvest this week. Ice is cut in the
stretch across the Redwood river
above the dam. Thickness of the ice
at most is Is inches. Mr.. Storts said
that the average thickness is near
20 inches. The extremely mild temp
eratures which have prevailed so far
this winter have affected the quality
of ice. The ice blocks chip and
crack easily.
Blocks are cut in sizes about two
and one-half feet long by one and
one-half feet wide. Average weight
per block was $50 pounds. These
blocks are guided by men with poles
along the edge Of the ice, and because
of the depth of the water are easily
buoyed to the channel cut in the ice
which leads to the elevator.
Usually three men cut the ice into
blocks and three guide the blocks and
three are occupied with the task of
elevating the blocks into the house.
Inside there are nine men taking the
ice blocks away from the chute, ar
ranging and packing them in order.
Ordinarily Mr.. Storts has a suffic-
lent supply with 1900 tons in the big
house and 500 tons in the small one,
but last summer during the long hot
spell an unusual amount of ice was
used, and it became necessary to ship
in four extra cars.
The Scenic City Ice company has
four trucks going in the summer,
supplying ice to the surrounding
towns beside Redwood Falls.
