What Company Needs.

A pumpkin syrup factory is new
enterprise which it is possible may be
attracted to New Ulm in the near
future and is pretty sure to be if the
right kind of encouragement is held
out to the capitalists interested. A.
Bauerle, representing the Minnesota
Syrup, Oils and Vinegar company of
Minneapolis. spent part of yesterday
in the city and expressed himself as
favorably impressed with the natural
advantages New Ulm can offer for
such a plant.
The process of making syrup from
the pumpkin in new one and Mr..
Bauerle's company is just entering
the field. It now has only three
factories; one at Foreston. one at
Lindstrum and one at Clearwater, but
it is the purpose of the company to
extend it's business all over the state
and build at least forty factories in
as many good towns. Twenty of these
sites have already been chosen.
The purpose of Mr.. Bauerle's visit
to this city at this time was not so
much to find suitable site for a
factory as to inspect the limestone
deposits which lie just outside the city
limits. IG seems that in the making of
the syrup fine pure lime is necessary
and with it's planned expansion of it's
business the company is taking
measures to secure a supply of the
best lime it can obtain in quantities
which will meet it's demands.
Mr.. Bauerle inspected the finished
article turned out by the Stolz kiln
and pronounced it the best lime he had
yet seen. 1t is ninety-seven per cent
pure.
"My company" said Mr.. Bauerle, :"
is looking for the very highest grade
lime and [ believe that we have found
it right here
The Minneapolis man said further
that where the company secured its
lime supply it would without question
find it advantageous to place a large
factory, as the cost of transporting
the reducer would be saved, providing,
of course, that the country could
raise pumpkins.
The plan of the Minneapolis con-
Sc ~
encourage the farmers in the raising
of pumpkins. The ordinary vegetable
will not do, it is not sweet enough: so
the mill distributes the seeds of it's
special variety of pumpkin free and
contracts with the farmers to take
their whole crop at 81 a ton. From
fifteen to twenty tons can be raised to
the acre on suitable ground.
The buying takes place in the fall
but the factory is run the year around.
Large storehouses are built and by
arrangements for keeping the rooms
at an even, favorable temperature the
pumpkins are preserved perfectly.
The ordinary sized factories such
as the company has built at it's pres
ent sites employ about thirty men the
gallons of syrup day. It is under
stood that while here Mr.. Bauerle
talked with parties interested and was
offered a site for his factory free should
his firm wish to enter this city.
The Minnesota Syrup, Oils and
Vinegar company, while making sew
eral articles from the pumpkin, wishes
to make its syrup the staple one.
''Pumpuna Syrup is the name given
the product and it is claimed to be in
distinguishable from maple syrup. AS
yet there is none of it on the market.
The process of making this syrup is
discovery of brother of the presi-
dent, L. L. Stanchfeld, made some
ten years ago.
Fred Oswold has been appointed as
clerk in the postofice, being trans
ferred from his work as substitute car
rier, and entered on his new duties
last Thursday. Postmaster Krook
announces that the list of available
candid ates for clerks and carriers is
now exhausted and that an examina-
ton will have to be held in the near
future.
The two excursions to the Twin
cities Saturday and Sunday were lib
