Match; Cup to be Award
ed Winner

The Redwood Falls golf club won
it's fourth tournament of the season
Sunday by defeating Sleepy Eye there
in closely fought match, 1,46O to
1,458.
Redwood Falls emerged the victor
only after John Caylor, new proprie-
tor of the Redwood Hotel, came in
late with an advantage of four points
over his opponent.
Mr.. Caylor who arrived at the
course too late to enter a foursome,
picked another player and started the
rounds. When the rest of the golfers
returned and added their scores, Red
wood was trailing by two points.

Out of the 80 men who entered the
match from both cities, Harlan Jaehn-
ing, Redwood Falls, finished low with
80, Palmer Kise, second with 81 and
R. v. Ochs, third with sc. John Cay
lor finished with 81 and Lorenzo
Ziegler had 88.
For Sleepy Eye, DR.. D. Anderson

golfers for the Brown county team
finished with scores under 80.

annual handicap tournament to be
held at the Redwood golf course Sun

m. and continue until all golfers are
in.
A loving cup which is on display in
the Hillig Brothers window will be
given the winner. It is donated by j.
L. Parsons, president of the club.
Release Regulations
Rules released by the tournament
committee this week in regard to the
tournament state that the scores OF
each golfer this season will be
averaged. The one who beats his
average score by the most points is
declared the winner of the cup. Thus
the poorest golfer has the best chance
to win because his average score is
easiest to lower. The committee men,
will enforce the rule that all entries
play in foursomes.
In the handicap tourney last year,
Edward Beckstrand Sr. won the cup
by lowering his average score six
points for the Is holes. The tourney
is open to all Redwood golfers.

GASOLINE, TOBACCO
TAKEN IN WABASS0
LUCAN ROBBERIES
Pool Hall, Hamburger Shop and
Bulk Gas Station Yield
$12, Merchandise

Three more store rObberies were
committed early Wednesday morning
in Wabasso and Lucan and guilty
parties left no clues for county au-
thorities to work on.
Two robberies which took place at
Wabasso, Melted the thieves about $12

and boxes Of cigars. In the robbery
at the Standard Oil company bulk

not locked until after midnight and
the providers entered sometime after
that. The robbery was not noticed
until Wednesday when one Of the en-
ployees came to work.

ing the lock on the front door. The
thieves took cigars, cigarets and
about $40 out of the cash register and
made their escape the way they en-
tered.
After the pool hall robbery the
same parties, presumably, went to
the hamburger stand located in one
corner of the Jensen garage. They
broke through one of the rear win
dows into the garage and cut hole
through the paneled wall which sep
arates the hamburger stand from the
other part of the, building. After TAX
ing more cigars, cigarets and about
$3.50 in cash they left without steal
ing anything out of the garage.

DELHI TOWNSHIP
CROPS DAMAGED
&
BY HAIL STORM
Narrsw Strip Hit Wednesday
Evening; Rain Breaks
Long Heat Wave

Crops in a narrow path through
Delhi township were badly damaged
late Wednesday afternoon by. hail and
wind in a storm which broke a long
heat wave.
The John Arnett farm was in
the center of the path as near as
could be determined in a hurried sur
vey. Corn was stripped of its leaves
and heads of small grain were bat
tered from the stocks and pounded
into the earth.
The strip apparently was narrow
as the Ed. Wells farm adjoining on
the south was less severely hit and
the John Ruder farm one mile north
of the Arnett place was untouched.
Small hailstones fell rapidly fol-
several minutes between 5 and 6 p.
m. Wind aided in the damaging OF
trees and crops. Other damage was
reported in the Belview section and
in other scattered points about the
county.
Rain which fell in torrents for a
few minutes in Redwood Falls
amounted to SO inches and broke q
heat wave which reached it's peak
Tuesday. and Wednesday afternoons
when readings of 105 degrees were re.
ported by N. B. Andersen, weather
observer. The readings were the
highest of the summer but were three
degrees below last summers peak.
The barometer started falling Wed
nesday morning, foretelling the
storm, and continued to drop until
the storm broke. 1t began rising
again late Wednesday.

A mass meeting for discussion of
the gas propositions which Redwood
Falls voters will. decide on Tuesday,
has been called for Monday night at
the Lincoln school auditorium.
Representatives of the Liquifed
Natural Gas corporation of Mime
apolis and others interested in the
issue will speak on the merits of
city-owned and franchised gas plants
such as the Minneapolis corporation
and other promoters are interested in
installing in the city.
Meanwhile corporation employees
and officers were conducting a survey
Wednesday to determine the attitude
of the public. They plan to present
contracts to all potential users, ask
ing them to agree to install gas if it
is distributed here.
Many Applications
The contracts accepting gas it it is
distributed from a city-owned plant
were said by promoters, Wednesday,
to be receiving the most Endorsements
although many, they said, are signing
for gas regardless of who is to dis
tribute it. About one in ten, they
stated, sign a third statement that
they are not interested in gas under
any circumstances.
Lee Barker, president of the cor
poration, H. H. Henley, Erling Ost-
gard and Miss A. M. Ostgaard are
conducting the survey.
Mayor H. D. Thorp issued the fol-
lowing statement Wednesday:
In order that the citizens OF Red
wood Falls may have thorough I'M
Outstanding of the proposition of the
installation of a gas plant for cook
ing and heating purposes in the home,
the council has decided to call a mass
meeting of all interested parties at
the Lincoln school auditorium at 8 p.
m. Monday, July 25.
The council wishes to inform the
citizens that they have given consld-
cradle study and investigated this
matter over a period of several
months and wish to pass the INFORM
alton at hand on to those directly in
terested. The council at present has
two methods of procedure for the in
stallation of such plant that they
feel should be given serious consider
alton by the citizens.
By the calling of this meeting 1t IS
felt a full discussion of the matter
will serve to enlighten the citizens
and help them to decide whether or
not they wish gas service for the city
and which method of procedure would
be for the best interests of the city
The council wishes to have it clearly
understood that they are not trying
to influence sentiment one way or the
other. 1t is entirely up to the citizens
but the council feels that they should
first gain full and true knowledge on
the matter so that they may inteill-
gently decide which way to vote.
Tuesday, July 26, an unofficial cleo
ton will be held at the city hall from
$50 a. m. until p. m. at which time
all citizens will have an opportunity
to vote on the matter and express
whether or not they favor the install
lation of such service in the city and
which plan of procedure they favor

PLANT EXPERT TO
GIVE ADDRESS At
CHAMBER MEET

New ideas are always inter-
eSting," states M. M. MunSon,
chairman of the program commit
tee of the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce, "and at the Wednes-
day luncheon of this week w. w.
Weeth, in charge of the Meloland
experiment station, is going to
give very interesting talk on new
products which can be grown in
Imperial Valley and new methods
of growing old products"
Weeth, according to Munson, will
talk on the raising of sesame, flax
and rice and will tell of his ex-
periments concerning barley suit
able for mailing purposes, samples
of which have been sent by the Ell
Centre chamber to San Diego for
testing and for forwarding to Eng
land, where additional tests will De
made. Weeth also states he has
some interesting information on the
use of sesbania and legumes as
cover crops. Weeth has appeared
before the chamber on several oc-
casions and has established a repu-
tation as an interesting speaker.
w. A. Tondro, president of the
chamber of commerce, states that
!, all people interested in farming
will be welcome at this meeting,
and urges that farmers attend to
hear Weeth's ideas on these ex-
periments. The fact that the
crops to be discussed are somewhat
unusual in this community should
also make the talk of interest 90
those who are not directly con-
nected with farming.
Luncheon will be served as usual
at the Hotel Barbara Worth at
1910 and Tondro reminds the pub
lice that the cost of the luncheon

Small Fires Keep
Department Busy

Three fires characterized the
weekend in El Centro, two occur
ring Saturday and one Sunday
morning.
A 500 gallon gasoline truck was
threatened and lives and proper
ty endangered Saturday when a
passerby tossed a match near
hose used while worlmen filled
storage tanks at the Firestone
stores at Fourth and Main streets.
Flames Immediately spread
through a small amount of gaso-
line spilled from the hose and it
was feared the tank would heat
sufficiently to explode. Firemen ex-
tinguished the flames and cooled
the tank before much damaged re-
suited.
A coupe parked near the Freed
man packing shed on the Eastside
was badly damaged about 800
o'clock Saturday night when the
interior burst into flames. The ex-
tent of the damage is not known.
Straw in a watermelon truck
burst into flames at Fourth and
Olive streets at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning and firemen eXtin-
guished the flames before damage
resulted.
H. w. Fawcett, city councilman,
today expressed admiration of the
cool, efficient manner in which
firemen handled the dangerous fire
in the oil tanker.
"Firemen deserve the highest
praise for the way they whipped
the flames away from the tank"
said Fawcett. st was near the
scene and watched their work in
the face of hazard. If the tank
had been permitted to explode, a
tragedy would have resulted. They
were so cool and clear headed that
the flames soon were eXtinguished
and the danger averted. They de-
serve the highest praise and COM
mendation,"

OFFICIAL SAYS
STATE TO FACE
HEAVY DEFICIT

SACRAMENTO, June 20. U.P)-
California's state finances took it
on the chin" again today in a re-
port of Charles J. McColgan, state
franchise tax commissioner, who
announced a 80 per cent drop in
taxes to be paid this year by banks
and corporations.
The self-assessed tax on corpor-
ations amounted to $685., ,685 for
1882 as compared with $4,293, ,099
for 1881, he said. Additional levies
on the basis of corrected net in
come statements will bring the
total revenue from corporations for
the biennium to 100000, as COM
pared with a budget estimate of
$16,00O,OO0.
McColgan's announcement of the
franchise tax gave further evidence
that California budget makers, to-
gether with other public officials
and business leaders, were whist
ling in the dark when the prepared
the states biennial financial pro-
gram during the summer and fall
of 1880, it was stated.
With the franchise tax revenue
now estimated, maximum general
fund revenue was seen as $780,
100000. The following factors con-
tributed to the shrinkage of state
incomes:
l. Gross receipts tax slumped
$7,5O0,000
2. Bank and corporation fran
chise tax down nearly S6,400,000.
3. Revenues from general sources
such as oil royalties, fees, and in
terest on bank deposits, off at
least $2,000,000.
a. Miscellaneous department rev.
enues for the general fund de-
creased $5OO,OO0, with inheritance
taxes one of the few revenue
sources to hold its own.
ROLAND A. Vandegrift, state di-
rector of finance. has placed the
state deficit at more than $3,000,000
unless heroic economies can be ac-
complished within the next few
months by the various state depart
mentS.

Students Climb
Mexican Mountain

LOS ANGELES, June 20. U.P)-
Norman Clyde and Bestor Robin
son, members of the Sierra club,
related today their adventures in
climbing for the first time Sierra
San Pedro Martir, highest mount
ain in Lower California.
With Glen Dawson, Richard
Jones and Walter Brem, Los An
geles students, Clyde and Robin
son attempted the climb last
Wednesday, expecting it to require
only a day. 1t was instead a three
day trip. Although their barometer
has yet to be checked, Clyde be-
lieved the mountain is between
10,500 and 11,000 feet.
Two years ago Clyde achieved
prominence by making the trip be-
tween the lowest and highest points
in continental United States in one
day. His start was below the sea
level in Death Valley and his cli-
max at the peak of 14,469-foot
Mount Whitney.
