During the last few days the Empire
Roller mill turned out flour at the rate
of l2O barrels a day. Three principal
grades Of flour are manufactured,
which are styled, patent, straight and
family. There is also stone for grind
ing corn, and great,deal of the meal
has lately been shipped west, there be-
ing quite a demand for that article
among the settlers of the prairie re-
gions.
New Ulm and the country west of us
was isolated from the outer world dur.
ing the whole of last week. The snow
storms of Sunday and Wednesday put
a stop to all operations on the Wi"ona
4 St. Peter railroad west Of St. Peter,
and the first train from the east arriv'
ed in this city on Saturday evening,
bringing q whole weeks mail. During
the storm of Wednesday five engines
and an east bound passenger train were
snow bound at Nicollet Station, and
four engines were caught atSpringfeld.
Coal was hauled with teams from Slee-
by Eye to Springfield to keep the en-.
| gines at the latter named place alive.
Conductor Sid. Mills train was laid up
at Walnut Station. Beyond Tracy the
roads were free from obstruction and
trains over the Fort Pierre route were
operated with regularity.
Jos. A. Eckstein of the u. s. signal
service writes us from Denison, Tex.
as, under date Of Dec. Goth, that he
has been assigned duty at the Grierson
Springs n the southwestern portion
of Texas and is no doubt an isolated
place. OF his journey from Washing
ton to Denison, he says: "The journey
from st. Louis to Texas was very weary
