TURKEYS BOOSTING HIGH
Meat Dealers Fear Scarcity of Great
Thanksgiving Bird.

Poultry dealers are face to face with
grave situation and they say that
many Thanksgiving diners will have
to content themselves with the plebian
chicken this year. There is a great
scarcity of turkeys and it is likely
that the birds so closely linked with
mince pie and cranberry sauce will
command prices which will make the
ordinary provider gasp with astonish-
ishment and dismay. It is a state Of
affairs which will work hardship next
week and seems to be one instance
where there is not an over production.
Reports from the country indicate
that the fowls are anything but plenti-
full and already from s to 10 cents
live weight, and 10 to II cents dressed,
is being paid on the local market.
These prices are considered large but
even with this inducement turkeys are
not. being brought in and when the
Thanksgiving rush really begins the
figures will probably go soaring up.
ward. In their efforts to supply the
demand in the large cities commission
men will doubtless contribute their

Failed to Get Special.

A quintet of New Ulm men had an
experience in Winthrop last Friday
which has about disguised them with
the methods employed by railroad
companies. The party, composed Of
A. W. Bingham, DIR. o. G. Stricken,
John Larson, DR.. G. B. Weiser and
J.H., Siegel left New Ulm Friday noon
for Minneapolis to be present at the
Shrine meeting but at W inthrop they
found that the main line ST. Louis
passenger had been delayed by a
wreck. The latter was, they learned,
rather serious, and rather than miss
the Shrine gathering they determined
to charter special train anh gu to
Norwood, where it would be possible
for them to catch the Chicago, MilWau-
zkee & ST. Paul for the Twin Cities.
An offer OF $50 was telegraphed to the
st. Louis, headquarters but although
the engine and the cars were standing
idle in the Winthrop yards the train
master would not grant the request,
demanding the sum of SIS. Railroad
men say thai $50 would have been
ample for the distance, which is about
Is miles, but the officials of the road
were not inclined to be accommod ating
and turned down the petition. Such
actions tend to prejudice people against
a road, and not without reason.

share toward advancing the prices
AID some dealers predict that the
birds will bring in : the neighborhood
of II cents retail week from now.
The cause of all this misery is the
rain. Turkeys and newspaper men
are known to be averse to water but,
whereas the scribes in time became &C.
customed to the strange element, the
daily showers of last summer blighted
the turkey crop woefully. Many farm
ers lost their entire flocks but those
who do possess a number will be well
paid for the trouble taken in their
raising.

President Remembered John

An associated press dispatch from
Washington last Wednesday said:
THE Minnesot a delegation in congress
paid its respects to President Roose-
welt at the White House at 10 a. m. to-
day. All the members were present
except Senator Nelson and Represen-
tative Tawney and the president re-
ceived the party in the cabinet-room.
There was a cordial hand shake all
around but the delegation did not
tarry. The president has lively re-
collection of Representative John
Lind, whom he employed on some legal
business years ago, and he said some
pleasant things to him. 2

CHANGING ALARM, SYSTEM
Fire Boxes Being Transferred to
Municipal Poles.
May Interfere With Working 01
System For Few Days.
Present Arrangement More Than
Doubles Length of Line.

B Alterations which are being made in
the New Ulm fire alarm system may
interrupt it's workings for a few days
and, in case of a blaze, discommode
both citizens and fremen. The Came
we'll boxes are being transferred from
the pole line of the New Ulm Electric
Light company to that of the municipal
plant and, while Supt. Adolf Wagner
will endeavor to keep the system in a
working condition, he may not be able
to do so. It will not be surprising if
it proves unreliable for a. short time,
but the inconvenience will be only
temporary.
The work of changing the boxes is a
part of the plan for altering the entire
system, decided upon last spring by
the city council. They voted to extend
the protection to the district in the
neighborhood of Washington and
Franklin streets and made a number
of radical improvements. When the
Gamewen system was first put in here
it was all upon one circuit. but this has
been improved by dividing the city
into five circuits. Two of these cover
the northern portion, two the southern
and the fifth allows of connection
being made with gongs in the fire
stations, the lighting plant, the homes
of the chief and the assistant chiefs
and the different livery barns. q
Wire has been strung for the two
circuits south of First North street
and on Monday crew of men began
changing the boxes. These will not be
moved from their present locations
but will remain at the same street
corners, the difference being that they
will be suspended from the new instead
of the old poles. A larger set OF
batteries for the new line have been
installed at the station and it is
intended to connect the two southern
Hoops before the end Of the week.
Greatly improved fire protection will
result from the alterations which are
being made in the system. For one
thing the line has been more than
doubled. Originally there were about
four miles of wire but this has been
increased to nearly eleven miles and
| the boxes now cover considerable
territory, from Ninth North to Twelfth
South streets, and from Front. street
on the east to ST. Alexander hospita.
on the west. Installing the system ir
separate circuits allows of it being
repaired with greater ease and, ii
case of accident, only disables {
portion of the line.

Large Cranberry Marsh.

DR.. L. A. Gebhardt has received
samples of cranberries which were
grown by his brother, H. Fl. Gebhardt,
near Black River Falls, Wis. The
berries are very large and of far
better quality than those usually seen
upon the market. DR.. Gebhardt and
his brother recently purchased a cram
berry marsh of 1000 acres within
twelve miles of Black River Falls and
they expect to put in a crop on the
land next year.

Chicago. Dec. 8-The opening in wheat
was triae easier, due to large world s
shipments and lower cables. May was
unchanged to &c lower, at S2Gs21sc.
There was considerable selling at the
start, owing to the bearish news, and
st. Louis houses led in the selling. The
July delivery was firm. on continued dry
weather in the winter wheat section,
and the strength of the distant future
exerted supporting influence on the
other months. Toward the end of the
first hour a good demand developed on
heavy rains in Argentine which resulted
in the market becoming strong, with
May up to 8224c. Later in the day ru-
mors of a probably big increase in the
visible supply, together with later re-
ports from Argentine contradicung the
earlier advices and claiming ble
harvesting weather there, brought out
an abundance of selling orders and prices
again declined, May going down TO S1ssc.
Much of the selling was due to rumors
to the effect that the big holder was
unloading through commission houses.
There was an urgent demand later in
the day from holders who were credited
with buying and the close was strong
with prices near the top. May closing at
