difficulties. DR.. Franz Rottenberg,
who, until recently was director gen.
eral of the Bank of Austria, has been
called on for help and has been made
director of the Austrian credit bu-

inSurgent government at Canton,
China, that it will begin operations
against the Nationalist government on
August 1, when Gen. Chang Fat-Kawi
will lead an army into Kiangsi prov

territory.
This decision followed the an
nouncement that Gen. Shin Yu-San,
an anti-Nationalist, had begun HOSTILE
ties in northern China. General

CELEBRATE JUNE 8

June eighth, a Monday evening, is
the date chosen by the Belview
Legion Post august Donner, No.

tertainments, which are so widely
patronized. This will be the third
year Of this project, which has be-
come so popular. DR.. Aldrich, who
has been one of the principal work.
ers of the Post, recalls the huge
crowds of years before, particularly
the time when the then Governor
Christianson spoke, and the crowd
was estimated at about eight thous-
and. This meeting was held several
miles north Of Belview near the Min
nesota river.
The first concert this year will be
given in the Odeon hall, with a re-
petition of the program in Hegdaps
garage, in case there is too large a
crowd for the one building, as there
doubtless will be. Entertainers Of all
sorts from near and far are being OBJ
tanned for this program, and the Post
plans to advertise it, as before, in as
many weekly papers as possible, as
well as by posters distributed in diff
ferent towns.

JUNIOR CLUBS

For long time it seemed possible
that the federated movement of wo-
mems clubs would pass out with the
present generation. Fewer OF the
younger women were interested In
the work; in many instances they
were denied the active participation
of office even in local groups, and
cultural programs designed for their
mothers offered little outlet for their
more energetic enthusiasms.
Broadly speaking, the trouble SEEM
ed to center in the fact that the Gen.
eral Federation admittedly had no
policy with regard to its important
junior membership.
But conditions are apparently
changing. Meeting in their own
groups, separate from the senior
membership, the juniors are working
out their own policies and programs,
and in the main they are making so
cial service their weapon and their
aim. There is work to do and they
are doing it.
And by their concerted action they
may build the movement to greater
usefulness for the future than it
has known in the days that are pass
ing.-Ladies Home Journal.

Now For The Boom!
But This in Early Cos
Pr0spect0r Found Gold Quartz
In Swedes Forest and
Started Mining

Gold mining in Redwood county
may be unheard of by the younger
generation, but older residents un-
doubtedly remember the @gold rush"
Of the early nineties in Swedes Forest
township.
Options were obtained on thous-
ands of acres of land in the vicinity
of the Vicksburg bridge. Stock was
sold to the neighboring farmers, as
well as to people in the cities.
An extensive plant was erected and
considerable quartz milled and crush
ed, according to the files of The Ga
zette. Gold was found but not in
paying quantities it later developed.
Perhaps it would be one form Of
farm relief to go back to gold pros
pecting along the Minnesota river
valley. At least that is what people
thought 81 years ago.
"Now For The Boom!" is the head
lines to the old gold mine story of
The Gazette for August 16, 1894.
Alfred Edlund, a British Columbia
prospector, took the initiative in the
good mining proposition of Redwood
county.
The gold quartz from mines assay
ed as high as $94 to the ton, and the
ore also contained from eight to for
ty ounces of silver tot he ton. The
richest field was that on a Cole Ever
son farm of 78 acres. An adjoining
field of Fred Schroeder was also
"rich."
Another party started washing
gold from the sand in the Minnesota
river on the Renville side. No furth-
er information on this project is
available, so it was apparently anoth-
er "boom."
The Gazette story included the fol-
lowing interesting information: "And
while all the gold and silver talk is
going on it must not be forgotten that
the Stowells are pushing work on the
coal mine on the Peabody farm with
increased fervor.
"On last Saturday they shipped a
carload of coal to the Northwestern
Adamant company of Minneapolis
and the same was of excellent quail
ity. Nothing has been heard of the
carload shipped to the Brush Electric
Light and Power company at La
Crosse, Wisconsin, but definite IN
formation is expected this week"

COTTON RATES
MODIFIED

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has granted southwestern
railroads a modification of its
recent decision adjusting cotton
rates in the south SO carriers can
meet truck competition in haul
ing cotton from interior points
to Texas ports.
The report, the first of its
kind, permits the railroads to
take definite steps to meet motor
truck competition and points out
that in the 1930-31 season motor
trucks transported cotton to the
ports from points in Texas bor-
dering on the Red River, to
Houston up to 425 miles. Rates
charged by trucks varied from
So to $3.50 per bale.
The record shows, the report
continued, that this competition
has made severe inroads upon
the traffic and revenues of the
railways that they can i'll afford
to stand.
The competitive rates allowed
are not made on any uniform
basis but are designed to meet
competition as it exists.
A supplemental report in the
cotton rates case modifies the
original order so that these rail
roads may maintain rates upon
a truck-competitive basis which
areS lower than the maximum
reasonable rates originally pre-
SCribed.

partment.
Reports from 428 automobile
financing organizations showed
the purchase of 229,057 new ma
chimes during the first quarter of
the year, compared with 313,548
the first three months of 1880. and
!. 348,332 during the same period of
1929.
During the current year the
money involved in the financing
of new machines was $124,982,-
ATS, or an average of $546 per car:
for the first three months of 1880,
$175.410,o0O, and for 1920, $207,-
10000.
In the first three months of this
year there were 327. 1874 used cars
involved in automobile financing
at a total cost of $89. .637 900: for

PRODUCE LESS

Shipments of bauxite from
mines in the United States in 1880
were 330,612 long tons. valued at
$1,928,297, a decrease of 10 per
cent in quantity and of IS per
cent in total value, as compared
with 1929. according to a state
ment of the United States Bureau

merce.
In Alabama bauxite was pro
duced in 1880 from the Eufaula
and "Lennig"' mines, in Barbour
county. and the Davis Hill No. 3
mine. in Henry county. The ship
ments were 33 per cent less than
in 1929, of which 79 per cent was
shipped for use in the chemical
industry and the remainder for
use in the abrasive industry.
Bauxite was produced in Geor-
gia in 1880 at the Hatton and
"Easterlin" mines, in Sumter
county. Shipments from Georgia
in 1880 were 136 per cent more
than 1929, practically all of
which was shipped for use in the
chemical industry.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 5,
over the whole of the grain

really insure sprouting.

re-Seeding has been done, and un-
less general rainfall occurs al
most Immediately a considerable
number of farmers will require to
re-Seed, according to the first
weekly crop report issued by the

adian National Railways.
In Manitoba some districts re-
port IS per cent of wheat seeding
done, while at other points wheat
seeding has been completed,
There is every indication that the
total acreage seeded to cereals in
Manitoba will not vary from last
year, with the wheat acreage
showing slight increase and the
barley acreage showing a de-
crease.
The oat acreage will be about
the same. Rain is urgently
needed at all points with the ex,

UPTURN IN DULL

ENCOURAGING
Significant of Improvement
In Forthcoming Days, Says
Spectator, Citing History
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May 5.-The mar
ket gave its most encouraging
performance in some time on
Monday, with the point of most
interest centering not so much
on the extent of the gain, as on
the extreme dullneSs.
1t has been widely recognized
that a buying time would be
signified only by the market set
ting down into a quiet trading
area.
In yesterdays session is a fore
runner of what forthcoming days
will reveal, the prospects for
price improvement are brighter
than at any previous time in the
past two months.
Shorts Little Worried
The short interest has appar.
emily been little disturbed by the
gain of almost 2 points in the
Standard Statistics composite av.
erage, for Is stocks are still COM
manding premium in the loan
crowd, in addition to flat rate
quoted for a long list of others.
In the initial stages of broad
market upturn it always has
been characteristic of the bear
element to look aSkanCe at any
price improvement, with this at
titude remaining unchanged until
the recovery has gone so far as
to make a short position unten
able.
Whether this course will be fol.
lowed in the present instance re
mains to be seen.
Prospective Earnings
Additional estimates of earn.
ings for the first half year as
compared with the like period of
