If man walks into your premises
without asking your permission and
looks around and makes notatiOns,
lido not be alarmed. He is perfectly
harmless and has no evil intentions
against your home. He is Mr.. F. J.
McC arthy of Chicago, in the employ
of the Sanborn Map Co. of New York,
who make the maps for the insurance
i companies, showing the location and
size of every building in town. Mr..
Sanborn is securing the necessary
ldata so that accurate maps can be
Iprepared for New Ulm. He has been
here couple of weeks and may be
kept busy for another three weeks.
II Conrad Alex has installed pearl
] fishery of his own on the banks OF the
lMinuesota River. Altho he has not
yet found pearls Of any value to speak
of, he expects to- make days wages
out of the shells he is taking out OF
the river. He has as complete an
outfit as the strangers who we're doing
the diminishing stunt last year and has
become quite an expert already. Since
he began operations last fall he has
garnered about ten tons of clam
shells which he will dispose of as
soon as the market rallies. Conrad is
on the rural mail force just as before
but by using an auto in making the
delivery trip he gets back to town
early besides giving the patrons on
his route quick service and has the
afternoons for his own private bust
ness. He began fishing as early az
February this season.
Luther G. Ives of Tracy was in the
city last week calling on some of his
friends of pioneer days. A]tho y
years old, Mr.. Ives has the energy
and mentality of much younger man.
There are few men living who know
this section of the country better than
does this veteran of early days. Over
fifty years ago when there we're prac'
ticaily no settlers in Lyon County, his
trapping trips would take him farther
west even than where Tracy now stands
and Mr.. Ives can tell some very inter-
esting tales OF those times. He is also
famous as one of the two survivors OF
the expedition that was set upon by
the Indians at the point marked by the
boulder bearing q name plate on the
road to St. Alexsnder's Hospital.
