The Chicago & North western rail

dustrial department. as part of the

1t will be the purpose of this de-
partment to work in close co-opera
ton with the Commercial and Bus
mess Men s associationin the towns
and cities along the North western

Reports from various parts of the
state indicate that the damage to
| pinnated grouse and quail resulting
| from floods and continued rains, has
been less severe than was feared,
yet this year season will undoubt
eddy close with the poorest record
since the high stage of water in
1898. Farmers living adjacent to
Swan Lake over in Nicollet county
report that the speckled chicken
and quail are very scarce this year
owing to the inundation of the ad
joining fields where the mother
grouse had been Matching the eggs.
A few covies have been seen in the
fields of newly harvested oats and
wheat but even these are scarce.
New Ulm Review: Mr.. and Mrs
W. A. Hubbard and family have
made all preparations to leave our
city Friday and become residents of
Minneapolis. This change is not
made because of Mr. Hubbard s
dislike to the town but in order to
make it more convenient for his bus
mess. This removal from this city
is one that is much regretted by
those who were privileged to enjoy
their acquaintance. Mrs. Hub
has been very influential in social
circles. AS a member of the Con-
gregational church has assisted
them in its progress and her de-
parture is a severe blow. Mrs.
Hubbard S mother, Mrs. Glass, will
accompany the family to Minneapo-
lis and reside with them
