The Olivia board of trade has
voted to lease the fair grounds
from the owners for another year, |
and the July 4th committee has
turned oyer 500 surplus to help
the fair association win out this
fall.
Editor Mailer of Springfield was
called to his paternal home recently |
on the report that his father had |
fractured rib and received inter |
nal injuries by a fall from build
ing. The elder Mailer has since
almost recovered from the accident. |
The Morgan council has given |
Mrs. F. Hartwick $3.50, by reason
OF personal injuries received thru a
defective sidewalk. The council
has also received the money from
the creamery company for the ex
tension of the sewer out of that
town.
One of the Forestal Bros. firm of
contractors in st. Paul was in New
Ulm recently and made a contract
with the New Ulm Stone Co. for
more than 1000 cubic yards OF
crushed stone from the Redstone
quarries, near that city, to be used
on Rice street ST. Paul.
The engineer for Springfeld's
new sewer system reports that a
fall of 81 feet in 900 feet can be Sc
cured by the proper construction of
the sewer. The fall is a ''suficien-
cy' for all purposes and the coun-
Gil has ordered plans and has also
asked for bids for the construction.
Granite Falls erected flag pole,
had celebration oyer the event,
and several citizens broke few
cold bottles and christened the
same. The children of the town
conducted portion of the cere-
monies. Editor Bennett was pres
ent while Editor Put. was doing
the fair down in st. Paul. The lat
ter remembers a similar raising in
the early days OF Granite Falls.

Editor Sherwood of the Bird Is
land Union has been caught flirting
with Miss Lucie Milestone, sister
of Editor Dan Milestone of the
Franklin Tribune, who ran the lat
ter paper during Dam absence
to the Pacific coast. Sherwood in
sists that Miss Lucie ran the paper
as though she were an expert, and
he wishes that he had a sister as
competent. We have forgotten
whether Sherwood is still in the
single horse class. If he is Miss
Lucie certainly cant resist. If he
is not Mrs. Sherwood may now in
terpose an objection and have the
same noted, even though the flirt
tells the truth.
Henry Feig, the supervising in
spector of country elevators, has
notified local grain buyers that
they will be expected to live up to
the letter of the law passed by the
Legislature of 1905, which necessi-
tates that the grain buyer must
settle for each load of grain deliv-
cred at the elevator either by check
or storage receipt. This does not
mean what is delivered each day
but each parcel or lot of grain mar
keted. Slips, memorandums and
due bills will not go, you must have
check settling for the grain or a
storage receipt as provided for IN
the law The storage receipts state
that the maximum charges for re-
ceiving, insuring, handling and
storing fifteen days and delivering
grain is two cents per bushel.
