Given Office
Al kettE,ikan

BY a unanimous vote, the Ket-
chikan city council drcided last
Wednesday night to offer Com
mander w. K. Thompson up to six
rooms in the utilities building rent
free for Coast Guard district head
quarters.
The space can be obtained by uslrg
the KPU board room off the cGun-
Gil chambers, another room off the
council chambers now used by the
street commissioner, a room in back
of the commissioners room, and by
partitioning across the front of the
council chambers.
For a temporary office, the Coast
Guard headquarters would require
one or two rooms, it is believed, but
if the office becomes permanent,
the councils offer will allow for
expansion.
The Mayor appointed a commit
tee consisting of Councilmen j..
w. Mendenhall and Henry ErWick
to confer with the commander re-
garding when he would like to &C.

Horse Races,
Later Dates
Recommended
FAIR STOCKHOLDERS
ELECT BROOKVILLE
MAN AS DIRECTOR

Return to a September fair and
horse racing in place of auto races
and thrill attractions was recon-
mended at the annual meeting of
stockholders of the Redwood
County Agricultural society at the
courthouse Monday evening.
While dates cannot be set with
out consultation with other fairs,
usually a whole string of fairs,
the directors probably will move
the show back into September,
possibly in the last half of the
third week, sharing the week as
well as many attractions with the
Hutchinson fair.
Principal reason for the change
is enthusiasm for the reviving of
first rate horse race programs
which is not possible during the
part of the season when 20 or
even 80 county fairs are running
at one time in Minnesota alone.
It was also argued in favor of
the September dates that farmers
are less likely to be rushed with
work a month later and are more
likely to attend. Matters still in
the dark about dates include
whether a first rate midway, such
as the fair had this year, could be
obtained in September. Many of
the ride and show companies start
south several weeks before the
proposed dates, it was pointed out.
Stockholders appeared well

$28.O3; SS8.40 and $165.30.
These were levied against the
real estate taxes by John Arnett,
then weed inspector, as is custom

pay, setting up defense that

IN AGE ASSISTANCE
CASE WEDNESDAY

No bill against Mrs. Carrie
Smithers was reported by Red
wood county grand jurors who
finished nearly three days of in
vestigation at 2.30 p. m. Wednes-

lenses on which she was schedul-
ed to be tried by the petit jury
this term.
Activities of the grand jury
were strictly secret, but witnesses
could be seen entering the jury
room at the east end of the second
floor hallway in the Redwood
county courthouse. John Knud-
son, Jean Tucker and Carl Wich-
man entered the grand jury room
Wedne sday morning, undoubtedly
to testify.
Judge A. B. Gislason made a
court order prohibiting issuance
of information on any possible
indictments which the grand jury
may have made in other cases. He
said publication of jury action
could be made only after arrests,
if any, are completed.
Grand jurors went into closed
session at 10 a. m. Monday, Rud
