FOR VOTE ON GAS
Council Turns Down Proposal
For Second Ballot on
City-Owned Plant

Board; Street, Sidewalk
Matters Discussed

The city council voted unanimously
Monday night to table the petition Of
committee of citizens which asked
for a second vote on installation of a.
municipality owned gas plant.
The matter was voted on after Lees
Barker, president of the Liquified Ma
tu1al Gas company of Minneapolis,
presented petition similar to the
letter mailed by the Citizens Com
mittee for a Municipal Gas Plant to
Redwood Falls voters last week.,
With the petition were 29O cards
which had been enclosed with the let
tiers and returned with notations that
the signers favored new vote on
the question.
Since the letters were mailed to
both the heads of families and their
wives, it is estimated that the cards
represented about las outlets for
gas. Council members CT e k e d
through a part of the cards and call
ed attention to several signers whose
ability to pay for the service was
doubted.
After the matter had been present.
ed, w. T. Wilcox spoke in opposition
to a new vote on the matter at the
present time and called attention to
the outcome Of the straw vote cleo
ton held recently.
The ballot proposed by Mr.. Barker
and H. H. Henley, also of Minneapo-
lis, would have given voters an oppor-
tunity to vote in favor of the city
building a plant and in favor of
leasing the plant to their company.
Mayor H. D. Thorp announced the
reappointment to the library board of
Mrs. A. P. Falk, DR.. A. Asleson and
J. TT. Wichman.
The council also discussed matters
of sidewalk repairs and street drain
age improvements and made recon-
mendations to the street commissions

essary to cancel the engagements.

tative but it is expected that other
towns interested in the development
of highways in this section will also
be asked to take part in the days

the children and street attractions.
Mr.. Brown will go to st. Paul next

tective league and the Morton Chap
ter of the Izaac Walton league will

out of Tiger lake, near Morton, and
fill it with fresh water and game
fish, it was decided at joint meeting
of the clubs on the banks of the lake

rough fish there and replenish the
lake with game fish met with the ap-
prevail of the n men from both towns
who were present.
C. J. Mealey, Morton, owner Of the
land on which Tiger lake is located,
was present at the meeting and gave
his consent. He also promised to give
the clubs a lake frontage of approx
mately 100 feet and said he would
supply the lumber for building a
joint club house.
DR.. E. H. johnson was elected
chairman Of the committee for the
disposal of rough fish which will be
seined out. The committee will work
out plan whereby the fish can be
sold. Part of the proceeds will be
used to pay for the project and the
surplus will be used in developing
roads and shore grounds.
Homer Hanson, Morton and Frank
Thiering, Redwood Falls, were elect
ed chairmen of the project. Glenn Hill
lig was elected secretary. Work will
begin as soon as the land is surveyed
for draining. Ira Rogers was elected
to make arrangements for survey.

Farm Produce Prices

Encouragement for farmer and
merchant alike is found in market

the highest here for many weeks, in

strengthened with other farm pro-

Flax made the most noticeable
climb during the week with six cent
rise while wheat was close second
with a five cent advance.
Rye was up two cents, corn, two

MANY FACTORS TO
INCREASE EXHIBITS
AT FAIR THIS YEAR
Premium Books Available For
The Asking; New Rules
In Some Sections

Entries in many departments at
the Redwood county fair this year
will be of better quality and in great
er quantities than in most other
years, fair officials believe.
This optimism is based on many
things, most important of which is a
splendid harvest Of first quality grain,
some of which will be taken directly
from the threshing machine to the
tanning mill and then to the farm
produce displays.
The fact that the fair is earlier
than usual this season, may also be
a boon to the garden department for
many fruits and vegetables which
have persisted by late September will
be available to exhibit when this
years fair comes, August 20, 80, 81
and September L
A third factor which appeals to
most exhibitors is that premiums Of
fered are more attractive when money
is scarce and many persons will ex-
hibit in the hope of making a few
extra dollars. Last year the board
paid premiums of $2,578.11 despite the
fact that receipts were lower than
any recent year.
Premium books have been mailed
to all persons requesting them and
placed in stores in Redwood Falls and
other towns where they will be given
to anyone who inquiries for them. If
it is not convenient to call, persons
desiring a book can secure one by
writing to w. A. Hauck, fair secre-
tary, at Redwood Falls.
The book contains full instructions
for persons who wish to exhibit and
calls attention to changes in rules
made this season. Among these is
the fact that poultry exhibits this
year will close a week before the

Intensive practice and skull drill,

Word from Brawley is that the

it will win from the team which

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-There is
a certain set in the Broadway pa
troll composed largely of fighters,
ex-fighters, managers, ex-mana-
gers, ticket spectators, small time
gamblers, hangers-on and hangers
on of hangers-on.
These guys, most of whom have
the dress and manners and Ian
guage that the writing boys have
given the New York wisey, can tell
you anything at anytime. They
know whether the beer is better
at TonyS or Jacks. How many
states Roosevelt will carry, the pop
ulatlon of Little Rock in 1910, to-
morrow's winner in the fifth at
Pimlico and the name and telephone
number of the fifth doll from the
right in the front row of the Van
tiles.
And above everything else, they
can tell you the sure things" in
prize fights. To hear these boys tell
it they haven't missed calling the
winner since David kicked Co.
Hath. So it was only natural that
this department, finding itself un-
decided as to the winner of Fri
day nights lightweight brawl be-
tween Billy Petrolle and Tony Can
zoneri, should turn to the all-wise
boys for aid.
For once the boys didn't have
a winner. For once they admit
ted that here was fight too close
to call. Most of 'em kissed off the
request for information with a "I'll
tell you about this one late Friday
night When you remember that
these babies would rather have
win parlay go haywire than admit
ignorance on any subject, you be-
gin to realize how hot this bust
ness between Petrolle and CANON
eri is.
One can't gain any satisfaction
by talking to the fighters them
selves. Petrolle says he can't miss;
Canzoneri says it's cinch for
him.
Petrolle Confident
Listen Petrolle said yester-
day, ST whipped Tony in Chicago
not so many years ago, didn't I?
Well, I don't think he's any better
fighter now than he was then.
And I know I'm just as good. They
said 1 couldn't make the weight,
but here l am right around 136
with a couple of days to go. And
none of my fight is in the sweat
box. It's all right in me-"
And Petrolle, he of the crooked
nose and battered face, is not a
man for Dragging. He's just about
the plainest citizen you ever saw
Although worth a nice-sized for
tune he dresses plainly, travels
alone, and does his own work, from
shining his shoes to packing his
grip.

LANE OPPOSED
TO BROADCAST
FOR BASEBALL

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 3.-U.P) -
William H. Lane, president of the
Hollywood Pacific Coast league
club, reiterated his opposition to
radio broadcasts of baseball games
and night playing, before leaving
last night for Salt Lake City to
attend meeting of league officials.
Citing our own experience, -
Lane said. I'VE drew 301. 843 in
1881 and 149, 401 in 1882, drop of
more than so per cent. We were
fighting for the pennant almost to
the end, and I believe we outdrew
any other club in the league except
Portland.
For start I wouldn't ban night
games altogether, but limit them to
twice a week. believe a number
of leagues plan to ban radio. 1t has.
I am sure, caused us plenty of loss
in revenue. The real sufferer is the
shut-in, and I don't know what
can be done about him, but 1 do
know we can't go on losing money
like this. Conservatively, the club
dropped 100000 last season"
Los Angeles club officials, own
ers of Wrigley Field where the
Hollywood team plays, have ex-
pressed their unqualified appro-
val of broadcasts and said they
would continue to do so regardless
Of what action league officials at
tempted to take on the subject.
