Although eligible boys, most of
them promising youngsters, have
signed to play, it is doubtful
whether Redwood Falls will
have a Junior league team unless
a practice field is found. The
baseball diamond at the athleric
field is not ready and the town
team has the fairgrounds engag-
ed for practice every night.
1t is believed that some ar
rangement can be made with the
town team for certain practice
periods, however.
If Redwood Falls does join the
junior league it will play the fol-

REALTY NOTES
STEADY GAIN
By H. r. AMOTT

President AmOtt, Baker & Co., Inc., N. Y.
Two facts stand out in regard
to the real estate situation during
1885 which are Of primary impor-
tance to holders of real estate Sc.
curities. One is the slow but con-
tinued upward trend of real es-
tate values, favorably reflected in
prices of real estate securities,
while the other is that real estate
values in spite of the improvement
during 1886 are still at levels which
make them decidedly attractive
for the long pull.
The firming up Of real estate
values during the year emphasizes
a phase of recovery which is not
too fast and yet gives abundant
evidence of steady revival along
investment rather than speculative
lines. Authorities agree that the
real estate mortgage situation is
brighter now than at any time In
the last four year,

MOTOR VOLUME
AT NEW PEAK

The 1895 output Of motor We

tires had an aggregate wholesale
value Of $3,626,612,000. This was
revealed in preliminary facts and
figures of the automobile industry
issued by the Automobile Manu-
facturers Association.
In releasing this report, Alfred
Reeves, vice president and general
manager, said:
"The automobile industry is
entering 1887 with more motor
vehicles in operation in the
United States than ever before.
A survey made in every State
has revealed that there were ap.
prOxfmately 28,270, 900 motor We.

during the last year. This ex.

Figures indicate that high
way users paid $1,4OO, 900, 600 in

Political Experiments
,ByJ. Williams, Jr.

One of the ineStimable adVan
tages afforded by the American
form of government is the oppor
tunity for political experiment
which our dual system provides
and fosters.
The 48 State governments can
be, and frequently are, political
experimental stations. For the
trying-out of legislative and ad-
miniStrative proposals to solve
sundry problems Of government
they serve the same useful purpose
that agricultural experimental sta
tions serve in a different field.
NEBRASKA
The experiments of one State
enable the other States and the
Federal Government to benefit by
the successes and mistakes of the
State engaged in the experiment.
For the problems arising within the
several States differ for the most
part only in degree from those
which the Federal Government en-
counters. Calvin Coolidge once
said that in the presidency the
only problem he confronted which
he had not met on q smaller scale
as Governor of Massachusetts,
arose in the field o. foreign affairs.
Nebraska Is now engaged in a
political experiment which the
other states of the Union will
watch with interest. In the new
