New Ulm Review: According to all
indications the route of the new road
out of New Ulm towards the south will
be about as follows: Crossing the Cot
tonwood at the Metzen bridge, it will
follow the bluff on the opposite side up
the valley to Alwin's place, where it
will climb the hill and strike southwest
to the east end Of Lake Hanska and
then in a straight line to st. James,
crossing the North Branch of the Wa
tonwan two miles west of the Bolin
bridge. Nothing will be done this year,
however.
A surprising fact in connection with
the numerous fish being caught from
the Redwood river above the Delhi
dam is the amount of small pickerel
being pulled out of the water. One fish
ermen came up the other day with a
string of pickerel, the largest not over
II inches in length and the remainder
about inches long. Judging from this
fact large number of these small fish
must have come up the river after the
washout of the North Redwood dam,
and climbed both dams and the falls in
this city, or else the older fish came up
a year or more ago and spawned in the
rocks above the dam and these young
fish are the result of their spawning.
About $4,000 pike fry were planted
above the Delhi dam about two years
ago, but only few of them have been
caught up to date.
