An OId Structure Torn Down

A4AM Vlu ClIuCtuIc lOtH DOWu
That old structure situated abOu
two miles northwest of Glendale or
the dupont Boulevard, which ha:
been the home of the Hudson ant
Clendaniel families for more than q
hundred years, is being torn dowr
to give way to the march if improve
ments..
Both the grist and saw mill have
Z long ago gone into decay, and with
the passing of the old mansion there
will be little left to remind the old
timers of the busy scenes enacted
at the old site many years ago.
s The mill pond will still remain,
but the fish which used to be so
prevalent will be gone, as the pres
ent owner has let the pond run dry.
The contractor who is doing the
work told the writer he never saw
such neat jobs in both the carpen-
ter's and mason's work; said he
would defy any mason of the pres
ent day to match such work as he
found in tearing down the fire place,
and also said that the hand carving
as was found on some of the doors
was so fine that il could not be dup
heated today and in fact is a .ost
art.
The present owner sold several of
the doors and mantles to a party
living north. The writer who seen
them when in position in the old
house, cannot describe the wood
carving-it was simply magnificent.
So the old structures are passing
out-only those built of brick will
remain to remind the old timers of
days past and gone.
Cunning Season Opens
November Is the open season for
rabbits, quail and woodcock COM :
menced While many of our sports
men have been out several times,
we fail to hear of anyone exceeding
the bag limits.
Many excuses are made by the
gunners, such as a scarcity of both
rabbits and quail.
An old sportsman who long ago
retired, said that crack shots were
scarce in these days-that men
waste too many shells in trying to
kill rabbit or knock down n quail;
making the game which they obtain,
too costly to indulge in.

COMMISSIONERS
TO GRAVEL NEW
ROAD IN JULY

Richard E. Cook, county engineer,
was ordered by the county commits
sioners to be ready to gravel the new
North Redwood road upon its COM
pletion, at their regular meeting In
the court house Tuesday.
1t is estimated that the road job
will be completed about July 1. The
rough part of road building from the
cemetery to the Minnesota river, two
miles, has been CO :pleted and about
II workmen are now finishing and
polishing the grade.
The road forks off the old North
Redwood road at the entrance to the
old city dump, curves slightly west
and north and cuts down over the
hill west of the farm occupied by Roy
Castle. Many beautiful scenes of the
Minnesota valley which were hidden
from the eye on the old road are now
visible.
The commissioners, John Arends,
chairman, Philip Raveling, E. A.
Pease, Herman Muetzel and j. F.
Kragh took few minutes from their
duties in the commissioners rooms
Wednesday afternoon and viewed the
progress on the road.

FARMERS PURCHASE
PACIFIC ELEVATOR
AT NORTHREDWOOD
Transaction Made After Group
Studies Cost of Building
New Elevator

Business was resumed by the North
Redwood Farmers Elevator company
Monday in the old Pacific Grain COM
pany building which was purchased
Wednesday of last week. The old
Farmers Elevator was destroyed by
fire May II.
w. M. Sommers who has success
fully managed the company for four
years will continue as manager. The
new building is in good condition and
will require but few repairs. 1t has
been closed for several months.
Details of the transaction were not
disclosed but it is understood that
insurance received from the old build
ing was sufficient to purchase the
new quarters. A committee appoint
ed to study the question decided it
was more feasible to buy the plant
than rebuild.
A committee of five went to Min
neapolis where the deal was made
with j. r. McCabe, vice president OF
the Pacific company. Members OF
the committee are: Frank Smith,
Harry Hoffman, Herman Moritz, John
Schweinfurter and Mr.. Sommers.

new CONSTRUCTION,
IMPROVEMENTS GIVE
MUCH EMPLOYMENT
Building Stimulated by Threat
of Increased Prices; Hill
Road Progressing

Several major building projects
and numerous small jobs such as
painting and redecorating have serv-
ed to give employment in Che city
during the spring and summer and
are definite indications of returning
prosperity.
Foremost among the construction
jobs is the North Redwood hill road
project where from IL to 81 men have
been employed since last fall, except
for period during the winter. Rough
work on the project is now complet-
ed, the grade is all cut out and the
road is being leveled preparatory to
crawling which will start in July.
Second in Importance is the new
Sicily Oil station at Bridge and
Washington streets which will be
ready for occupancy late in June.
Masons and carpenters have been at
work there since May 5.
Another oil station built this spring
was opened Saturday on Highway Il
on the west edge of the city. The
building is of frame construction and
a basement and restrooms are being
built. 1t has three pumps. The sta
ton is operated by Don Neuschwan-
der and is handling Coop products.
Other downtown improvements In
clude the redecorating of the old Red
wood Recreation parlor where the
Green Parrot is now located and the
improvements made at the old site
of the Green Parrot where the Red
wood cafe opened in attractive quart
ers late in May. Early in the year
Mayor H. D. Thorp improved his
building, part of which is occupied
by w. ]. Hager, jeweler. At about
the same time the Louise Beauty
shop moved into the former Freyer
Music store building which was COM
pletely remodeled and redecorated.
The Red Owl store was redecorat-
ed and major improvements were
made when a meat department was
added there recently. John Stoutland's
market in the Neale Garage was an
other improvement to the business
district and the Fischer Market &C.
cupies the only previously empty
building downtown.
Through the residential section and
at many places in the country, homes
are beng reprinted, reshingled and
otherwise repaired, aiding the feder-
al program to give employment both
locally and in manufacturing sections
where paint, lumber and other build
ing materials are made. A general
rise in prices is attributed in part to
the resulting increase in buying pow
er. Persons who make improvements
at the present time are taking ad-
vantage of low prices which are not
expected to continue in view OF In
fiationary measures and renewed
buying power.

Granite Falls also asked for the con-
vention. j. R. Keefe invited the
crowd to Redwood Falls, touching on
the beauty of Ramsey State park
where the picnic will be held. ]. R.
Landy of Olivia was an important

mitteeman; Congressman Einar Hoi-
dale of Minneapolis and Albert Pfaen-

Legion Assured of License at
Conference With State
Commissioner

The first boxing show to be staged
in Redwood Falls under provisions OF
the statewide boxing act passed by
the last legislature, will be in late
June or early July, possibly the

D. R. Arundel, state fight commas
sioner, assured B. E. Marsh, Legion
representative, last week that IL
cense will be granted as soon as its

of Winona, member Of the commits
sion from the southern Minnesota dis
trict, has sanctioned the granting OF
the license.
Marsh also conferred with Jimmy
Potts of Minneapolis concerning the
matches on the first card. Among
the fighters likely to be here are
Britt German and Young Harry Greb,
both we'll known in Twin Cities box
ing circles; Jackie Sharkey, Dave
Honigs of Winona, Earl Sather and
Porky McPortland. Several of these
men fought here before the ban was
placed on small city cards four years
ago.
The main go and semi-windup
bouts will be six rounds each and the
preliminaries, four rounds each. Potts
has agreed to referee the first fight.

SEED GROWERS TO
CAPITALIZE WEED
SYSTEM PUBLICITY
WabassO Speaker Suggests Seed
Organization, Praises
Work Accomplished

A plan to organize a seed growers
association in Redwood county to
capitalize on national advertising the
county has received through its weed
plan was adopted at the annual weed
meeting held in Wabasso Saturday
afternoon. Plans probably will be
perfected at the annual weed inspec-
ton tour in July.
The adoption followed the sugges-
ton of j. L. Hennigan, state weed in
spector, who said ga good follow-up
for you Redwood county farmers
would be to organize and sell regist-
cred seed under the name of Redwood
County Seed Growers association.
"You have established a wonderful
reputation among seed buyer
throughout Minnesota and all middle
western states for your NEEDLESS
farms and weed-free seed is easy to
sell any time"
More than 125 township chairmen,
section men and other farmers gath
cred at Wabasso and heard Mr.. Hen
nigan and Sam Hammerbeck, anoth-
er state weed inspector. Both COM
plimented Redwood county farmers
for their weed control pioneering and
stated many states are following the
plan and many more will join the
fold.
The group was enthusiastic in sup
port 8 q regulation to require farm
ers TO secure a bill of weed-health
from their town chairman before
moving from one township to anoth-
er. Farmers who leave infested farms
will be ordered to sell their seed and
purchase clean seed before moving
into a weed-free neighborhood. Pub
lie opinion will be depended upon to
enforce the ruling.
