New Ulm Review: Yesterday an
officer of the government arrived in
this city and took the Indian maiden,
Irene Baker, who has been at the
hospital for the past week or more,
to one of the Indian agencies west
of here, where she will be put in
one of the schools and cared for by
the government. She is the girl
who came here from Virginia in the
hope of finding some of the rela-
tives of her parents, but failed to
get even a clue of their past or
present. She has been cared for by
the county.
w. D. Richardson of Garden City,
Blue Earth county, this state, is said
to own the most productive COW in
the world. The cow is of Guernsey
blood. During the past year this
COW, known as the Yeksa Sunbeam,
produced 1000 pounds of butter.
That is almost as much as her own
weight, which is not quite 1900
pounds. The test was made under
the supervision of the Wisconsin
Experimental station, and the re-
suits showed that the cow gave
Ia, 920.8 pounds of milk during the
year from Which 857.16 pounds Of
butter fat were obtained, making
an average Of STA per cent. Of
butter fat.
You don't have to ring on or off
any more Just raise the receiver
and that will signal central. Give
your number when central calls for
it and do your talking. When thru
talking just hang up the receiver
Central will do the rest. Do Enot
hang up the receiver until the call
has been fully answered by the par
ty called for. All this has been
brought about by the new common
battery telephone system that has
just been put in for this city by the
Minnesota Central Co. at an expense
of over $4,000. The chief cleo
trician, with crew of five assist
ants, arrived here last Wednesday
morning, and Immediately com
menced work on installing the new
| system, and they have been kept
busy ever since. The testing will go
on for some time, but when the sys-
tenn is perfected it will be as per-
feet as any in the state. When ev-
erything is in shape Manager Wer-
ner will be pleased to have visitors
call and inspect telephone system
of which Redwood Falls has a right
to feel justly proud, and for which
we can thank the friendly officials of
the Minnesota Central Co.
