SEEMS DAVIS MAY HAVE HIS WAY

The following is said to be an in-
side tip on some Of the shake-ups to
occur in the state boards next year:
John ". Page. the present secretary
of the state charities board, is slated
for financial agent for the state pen
iteniary to succeed Joe Moore, and
bright, as far as majority of the
board is concerned The only element
on doubt in his case is his confirma-
ton by the senate.
+. b. Jet the former deputy sec
rotary of state will succeed Mr. Page
on the charities board in case of Mr..
Page s transfer 10 the peuitentiary
department. It is positively known
that Governor Davis and Secretary
OF state-elect q. e. Ludwig will vote
for Page and Jett.
For superintendent Of the peniten.
tiary to succeed Rees b Hogins the
name of j. y Pitcock of Crawford
county is given as sure winner. Bob
Rogers, who will be lhc attorney gen
| eral. is pushing Nh PitcoclIs candi-
daey, and it is reliably stated that be
already has enough pledges TO land his
man.
Gov. Davis is willing to vote for
anybody to defeat Mr.. Hogins, with
whom he has had several personal
differences since the lattcr's selection
as head Of the institution The pen
I'entiary boarG is composed of the
governor. secretary of state, auditor,
attorney general and commissioner of
mines and agriculture
Thus it will be seen that Gov. Davis,
Secretary Of State Ludwig and Attor-
ney General Rogers can elect whom
they please, as they co,npose major
ity of the board.

ago, about 500 feet east of the river,
the main building will be 36x60 and
the engine house 24x36 feet. The ex-
cavating necessary has been done, but
before the structure can be bNilt con-
crete found ations will have to be put
down beneath the crusher, engine and
boiler.
It has been planned to begin taking
out rock from ledge about Is feet in
height close to the building. A steam
drill will be used here and, from the
peculiarly brittle composition of the
stone experts believe that the labors
of the crusher can be lightened great
ly by shattering the rock with heavy
blasts of power. After this is done it
will be conveyed in tram cars up an
incline thirty feet in height, dumped
into the crusher and then hoisted fifty
feet in an elevator to the screens at
the top of the building. From this
point it will drop into bins built above
the track and then can be loaded into
cars for shipment.
Persons who have never visited the
Redstone quarries cannot conceive OF

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-09-07

owns a tract of 100 acres and every
inch of it may be work. All but five
acres lie east of the Northwestern
main line and the deposit is well nigh
inexhaustable. Although it has been
quarried in a small way for thirty
years, it may be said to be practically
untouched and the present generation
will not live to see it worked out.
New Ulm crushed stone promises to
become a very marketable article. Its
extremely hard, granite like substance
makes it impervious to usage that
would grind the softer Kasota and
Mankato lime stone to powder and it
will be able to compete with any
similar product on the market. A
strong point in the quarry's favor is
that the lodges lie absolutely exposed,
and as the company is thus relieved
of the first expense of stripping, they
can affort to go to greater cost in
breaking up the output. Already the
fame of the stone has gone abroad.
Large consumers are making inquiries
concerning it and, although the local
men are now compelled to put about
$40, 600 into their industry, the time
will come when it will be a very
valuable property and give them good
returns on their investment

HUNTING IS RATHER DAMP.
Heavy Storms on Opening Day of
Season.
Nimrods Drenched Frequently and
Thoroughly.
They Find a Great Scarcity of
Prairie Chickens.

With water dripping from their guns
and clothing and the rain falling in
torrents, New Ulm hunters tramped
over the stubble fields Thursday in a
practically vain search for prairie
chickens. Many of them sickened of
the sport on the opening day of the
season but those who did persevere
were not rewarded for their pluck, as
the second day was raw and rainy and
the weather conditions very disagree
able. Not a good bag was made by
any of the local men and, without
exception, they report a great scarcity
of game.
General Joseph Bobleter and his
party, consisting of Lieut.. Col. Geo.
S. Whitney of Faribault, Major L. G..
Vogel and Capt" Albin Carlson,
did their hunting near Comfrey. The
latter was detailed as director of the
commissary and the commander had
his forces on the ground early. Pickets
were thrown out, but shortly after
breaking camp a furious rain storm
was encountered, making infantry
movements very difficult After the
onslaught of the elements Gen. Bob
Letter found his army badly democrat
lied. The chief of subsistence abso-
lutely refused to leave the buggy and
the two staff officers repeatedly missed
easy shots. Thus it devolved upon
the mmander-in-chief to do the real
execution of the campaign but in two
days he was unable to bag more than
seventeen chickens.
! W. E. Koch, DR.. G. r. Koch, Prof.
Richard Fischer of Madison, Wis,
and DR.. Pultz of Milwaukee, were out
through Lafayette. Drenched and
chilled, they tramped through the
fields all day and brought back sever
chickens.

DR.. J. p. Graf and Thos. j. Kretsct
