MORE GASOLINE
BEING USED IN
REDWOOD COUNTY
County Gas Sales Amount to
250,OO0 Gallons Above
1880

According to figures from records
in the State Oil Inspectors office in
shipments of gasoline into Redwood
county during 1881 were 3,927,74l
gallons. This is an increased con-
sumption over the previous year of
about 250,0OO gallons. The figures
for 1880 were 3,sS2,895 gallons. Ship
ments were made to fifteen points in
the county.
At first glance it might seem that
in spite of the business recession,
Redwood county motorists were burn
ing more gas than ever. This is
partly true but the consumption OF
kerosene and distillate fell off nearly
as much as gasoline increased, and
undoubtedly on account of the small
spread in price many tractor users
substituted gas in place of kerosene
for their machines. Nevertheless
many farmers used horses more and
tractors less last year and at the
same time tourist traffic was less,
which leaves no room for doubt that
cars and trucks consumed more gas
than ever in Redwood county last
year. Heavier trucking perhaps act
ually accounts for the difference.
The gallonage Of kerosene last
year was AL, 1882 while in 1880 kero-
sene shipments were 657, gallons.
Distillate, which is used mostly for
heating purposes fell, off slightly
from 223 1892 gallons to 1864 gal
Ions. The mild winter prevailing last
winter, and also this winter up to the
holidays, could easily account for
that difference.
Brown county gas figures show the
same trend. Gas consumption in that
county was 4,246,759 gallons compar-
ed with 1888, 1872 gallons the previous
year.
The inshipments of gasoline at
Redwood Falls during 1881 were l.
549,1O4 gallons. Kerosene gallonage
was 1895 gallons.
Walnut Grove consumed 219,985
gallons of gasoline while the gallon.
age of kerosene was 1854.
For Morgan inshipments of gaso-
line during 1881 were 345, $50 gallons.
This is gain of 44,060 over the pre-
vious year. The inshipments of kero-
sene were 50,831.
Lamberton consumption was 1885,
407 gallons Of gas and 63,148 gallons
of kerosene.
Wabasso dealers handled 218,846
gallons of gas and 23,975 gallons OF
Kerosene
Sanborn figures were 227,171 gal
Ions of gas and 8,158 gallons of kero-
sene. Most of the kerosene was truck
ed in.
Wanda's gas sales were 100000
gallons. Kerosene was trucked in.
Clements consumed 127,940 gallons
of gas and $500 gallons of kerosene.
In Redwood county distillate was
shipped into Redwood Falls, Belview,
Lamberton, Vesta, Walnut Grove and
Revere.

"A DAY
'BY BRUCE CATION

FRANCIS lies is an Englishman
who writes murder stories that
are different. He hardly writes
mysteries at ALL his tales seem
rather to be studies in murder. with
the murderer's identity and view
point always kept before the read
er'S eyes.
His newest offering is Before the
Fact, and it is highly readable.
1t tells about a likable but ire
sponsible young Englishman who
takes to removing from this earthly
sphere such people as are apt, on
their death, to leave him money;
and he does it, not by killing them
himself, but by inducing them to
do things which he knows will
cause them to die of more or less
natural causes.
The story is construed nicely,
and it works up to a really fright
ening bit of suspense at the very
end. Published by Doubleday. Doran
& Co., it sells for 50.
About the Murder of the Circus
Queen is another of Anthony Alb
bolts mysteries, and why it should
have been published at all is the
most mysterious thing about it. as
far as I'm concerned.
Humorless and heavy-footed, it
sounds almost like a burleSque on
the conventional detective yarn, and
getting to the end of it is monot-
onous task.
In case you're interested, it has
to do with circus lady who gets
murdered while doing acrobatic
stunts. Published by -Friede,
it retails at 81.

The district attorney and the mar

Montgomery has little or no claim
upon these men.
1t was his Machiavellian mind
which directed the fight against
McNutt from 1880 until the con-
vention of 1882.
He provoked the unsuccessful at
tempts to defeat r. Earl Peters for
reelection as state chairman, and
he engineered the various cabals
against McNutt.

picture by demanding that he be
