MAINTENANCE OF
PAVED ROADS FAR
LESS EXPENSIVE
Comparison of Redwood and
Renville County Roads
Costs Given

According to the biennial report
of the state highway department,
it cost $6,445.41 to maintain the
33.9 miles on trunk highway 19,
through Redwood county. This is
a paved route carrying heavy
traffic. This made the average
cost only $190 per mile. The up
keep cost on the 26.6 miles on u.
S. II, although it carried much
less traffic, was $9,22S, or $346
per mile. This road is untreated
gravel.
The contrast in Renville county
is still more striking. On the 1914
miles on highway 10, all paved,
the maintenance cost was $3,305.-
95, or $170 per mile. On II, which
is bituminous gravel road, the
report shows a maintenance ex-
penditure of $36,428 for % miles,
an average of 81, ,582 per mile. On
highway 4 through Renville coun-
ty. which is untreated gravel
most of the way, the expenditure
was $31,173,40 on 31.3 miles, or
nearly 1000 per mile. But on U.
S. PIP, which is paved the whole
length of Renville county, it cost
only $11, ,124.07 to maintain 49.5
miles, or 1924 per mile.
Although maintenance costs are
lowest on concrete, the road is al
ways in good condition. This can
not be said of some of the other
roads, especially in a wet season
like 1885.

REDWOOD WHIPS
LEAGUE LEADERS
IN TENTH TO l
Carruth Allows 5 Hits While
Mates Gather 10; Game
Played In Rain

Redwood Falls demonstrated
that it can play ball on a par with
the best teams in the Western
Minnesota league Sunday when it
defeated Hector 2 to l in ten in
nings on soggy field at the fair
grounds here.
Although the muddy paths led
to some poor base running, both
teams handled the rain-soaked ball
with precision and the fans who
braved intermittent rain to watch
the game were well repaid.
E. Berg started the scoring in
the first inning when he lifted the
ball into the outer regions of the
park for q double and Elmer Hell
geson singled to bring him home.
The game mushed on through
five innings with only scattered
hits and most of the base runners
getting caught short in their eff
forts to navigate the paths until
the sixth when Kalberg of Hector
singled, advanced on Hermann's
single and Beckman got on when
Matson failed to handle Berg's
faulty throw to first. Kalberg
scored to tie the count but Beck
man was caught at home and the
side was retired when Nelson
Jones fielded H. Ruono's long fly.
Lamberton singled, Carruth
walked and Kickul singled to fill
the bases in the eighth but Boche,
Hector hurling ace, struckout f.
Berg, pinch hitter and Reynolds to
cut the rally off without run.
In the tenth Lamberton deliver
ed his second single, Kickul got
his third single and Reynolds
drove in the winning run after
Carruth and E. Berg had whitfield.
Carruth was in excellent form
allowing but five scattered hits
while Boche was touched fer three
safe ones by Kickul and two each
by Reynolds, Helgeson and Lam
berton and two baser by G. Berg
to bring Redwood's hit total to
ten.

NRA, Frazier Law
Unconstitutional

The United States supreme court
dealt two blows to legislation en-
acted under the new deal this
week, declaring the national recov-
cry act and the Frazier-Lemke
law unconstitutional.
Just what steps will be taken
to revamp the laws to make them
comply with the constitution is
still a guess but it was believed
that any new NRA bill will apply
only to firms doing interstate
commerce and would not affect
small town businesses to any great
extent.
Since the moratorium act of
Minnesota has been declared con-
situtional, indebted farmers will
find some protection from that
source.
The opinion is frequently ex-
pressed here that the laws were
in force long enough to get the
country past the extreme emer-
gency stage and in many cases
are no longer needed.

Shotlifter Caught With Nine
Pair of Hose, Five Trousers

A shoplifter with a mania for
women's silk hose and boys pants
was arrested by Chief Of Police
Oscar Warner Saturday night
with the aid of a customer of the
store from which the goods were
taken.
He is John Nelson, 26, of Mason
City, Iowa. Nelson waived pre-
liminary examination in municipal
court before Judge T. F. Reed and
was bound over to district court

a customer who thought his ac-
tions suspicious and reported to
the proprietor. Warner was call
ed and a description of the man
given. At that moment he walked
out of the same store again with
nine pair of women's hose under
his arm.
Warner followed him to car
where he was depositing the hose
when he was accosted. He swung
the door of the car open between
himself and Warner and started
to run. First he tripped over the
bumper of the car but scrambled
to his feet and it was not until ne
fell down the steps beside the
armory that Warner caught him
and made the arrest.
Later in the evening Warner
searched the alleys and found the
pants and pound Of coffee hid
den in the alley behind the Burris
building. The coffee was traced
and it was learned that clerks in
the grocery store where it was
stolen had heard a noise in the
back room earlier in the evening
and saw a man fleeing when they
went back to investigate. He drop
ped q sack of -four in his fight.
Nelson told authorities that he
follows carnivals in the summer
and makes his living as best he
can in other seasons. He was in
toxicated, they said, when arrest
ed.

Nelson complained this week Of
