There il no sentiment in business,

unless hit liz for value received. The
North Carolina farmer or merchant
doesn't care enough for the New

New Ulm review., 1913-08-20

DR.. c., Wilbur Ray formerly OF
Nicollet died at Los Angeles last
week. He was q member of Progress
Lod &c, A. O. U. W. of this city.
Two professional smokestack paint.
ers dri fled into town the latter part of
the week and finally prevailed upon
the New Ulm Brewing & Mailing Co.
to give them the job of painting their
smokestsck. They went to work Sum
day morning, having procured q
block and tackle from the city. When
the man who was to do the painting
was q bout 30 feet up in the air, the
rope of the tackle broke and he came
down landing on his partner and
Paul Zobel, the company's engineer.
This broke his fall and he escaped
with slight injuries to the back and
wrist. A physician was Immediately
summoned and the injured mar was
taken to the hospital where he, how
ever, stayed but q short time. He
showed up at the plant Monday and
talked some of finishing the job, but
he hasn't been seen since, so it is sur
missed that he has left town.

composed of Herman Frenzel, Fred
Pfaender and Henry J. Berg, was
finally appointed to look alter the
details of the celebration as it was
decided to observe the day with a big
parade and picnic at tHermann Heights.
The arrangements committee met Mon
day evening and decided that the
parade will be formed at Schell's hall,
promptly at l o'clock, from which
point the procession will march to
Park, where Mayor L. A.
Fritsche and another prominent
speaker will deliver German addresses.
Lunch, ice cream and refreshments OF

who attend. An invitation is extended
not only to members of the Arbeiter
Verein, but to all laboring and busi-
ness men in the city, to take part in
the parade and attend the picnic. A
definite program will probably be
within the next few days.

G. A. Ottomeyer was q Chicago
visitor last week. he went down to
attend the Fall Opening Of the Ready
to-Wear garment men, or the Semi
Annual Fashion Show as it is called.
The affair was very msgnificer
one, there being thirty thousand
dealers in Chicago to attend. Mr..
Ottomeyer was one of the five thous and
fortunate few who secured seats for
the formal exhibition of the garments
when the styles we're shown by living
models. This took place at Concert
Hall on Michigan Ave. Mr.. Otto

Matter of Union Hospital
Street Improvement
Deferred.
Minnesota River Bridges To
Be Safe guarded by
Fencing.

The city council held specia
meeting Friday evening for the pur
pose of disposing Of various bust.
ness matters, but the session was OF
only short duration. All of the city
fathers were present with the ex.
ception of Councillors Retzlaff anG
Hamann.
The matter Of laying sewers or
North Minnesota street for the con
venience of the new. North Schoo
building, which had been referred
to the board Of public works and
favorably reported upon by that
body, was again taken up by the
council after a personal inspection
had been made shortly before thu
special meeting Friday evening. Il
was finally decided to lay the sewers
on the street mentioned from Third
North street to point ITS feet north
of the north line of Fourth North
street and City Engineer Miniun
was instructed to prepare plans and
specifications for this improvement
City Clerk Meyer was authorized tc
advertise for bids for this work.
Another proposed public improve
ment that had been recommended by
the board of public works was the
laying of watermains and sewers and
the grading, graveling and boule.
varding of the streets adjoining block
SO, in the south end of the city
which is the site for the new Union
hospital. The hospital Association
officers had petitioned the council fol
this improvement and favorable ac-
ton would have been forthcoming
but for the fact that the contractors
are all busy and it is already late in
the season for this kind Of work
Consequently the matter was deferr.
ed until early next spring.
A committee representing the
Brown County Agricultural society
appeared before the city council ask
ing for an appropriation in the sum
of 5000 for the 1918 Brown county
fair. In the absence of the two
councillors mentioned above, Councillor
Pfaender refused to vote on the pro-
position so that the matter was laid
over until the next meeting.
For some time past the city faith
ers have been considering the advis-
ability of further safeguarding the
three local bridges over the Mime
sofa river by placing woven wire
fencing along the side ratings. A
committee was recently appointed to
look into this matter and has re-
ported favorably upon it and the
council at its Friday evening meet
ing, decided to have this work done
Consequently the street committee
was empowered to purchase the
necessary material and have it put
in place as soon as possible.

County Exceeds
81 Mileage Limits, i t !,
!. s,
Board Designates Nineteen
State Roads Totaling 2l2
@ Miles.
Highway Commission Says
1 Upkeep Expense Will Be
Too Heavy.

Brown county has more than twice
the mileage of state roads than the
state highway commission recon-
mends and for that reason the county
board will no doubt find it necessary
to reduce the figure to approximately
what the commission deems is best
under the existing conditions. The
county board has, during the past
two years, designated no less than
nineteen state roads with total mile
age of PIP miles, and the members
have thereby shown their progressive
spirit in placing Brown county in the
front ranks as far as good roads are
concerned.
The liberal action of the board has
no doubt met with the hearty ap-
proval of the automobilists and also
Of the farmers who have been greatly
benefited thereby, but as the expense
Of maintaining such a large mileage
Of state roads would prove a costly
item each year, the state highway
commission, in a letter addressed to
County Auditor Louis G. Vogel, calls
the attention of the county board to
various facts in the premises.
Under the direction of the county
board, Auditor Vogel recently pre-
pared a carefully executed detail map
Of the county showing all of the
nineteen state roads as laid out by
the county board and approved by
the state highway commission during
the past two years, and this map was
submitted to the commission together
with letter of explanation. A pro-
posed system of state roads in Brown
county that would be kept in first
class condition at all times was also
sent in to the commission for it's ap-
proval, but the commission has now
referred the matter back to the coun-
ty board for revision with the sug-
gestion that the total mileage be re-
stricted to approximately 100 miles
of state road. 49,.
Several reasons for this suggestion
are given in the communication,
among them being the fact that all
state roads must be maintained un-
der rules and regulations of the state
highway commission and that this
will cost all the way from $25 to $50
per mile per year. in addition to any
construction or surfacing that nay
be done. Another very important
matter to be considered is the fact
that the individual townships are not
allowed to do any work on state
roads and that there may be consid-
cradle of the mileage proposed for
state roads which the several town
boards may wish to improve or
maintain. The town boards will
have ample funds for the construc-
ton and maintenance Of their roads
and, in fact, will probably insist up
on doing considerable work en- some
of the main roads. Therefore, con-
cludes the letter, the county should
assume responsibility only for those
roads which are the main county
roads. The communication is signed
by George w. Cooley, state engineer,
and there is considerable food for
thought contained therein. The coun-
ty board will no doubt take up for
consideration at a meeting in the
near future the suggestions contain
ed in Mr.. Cooley's timely letter.

National Highway Trail Blazers

For something over an hour, New
Ulm acted host to the trail blazers of
the Chicago, Black Hills and Yellow
stone highway, who arrived here Fri
day forenoon at about II O'Clock,
when they continued their auto jour-
westward to Sleepy Eye, where they
ate dinner. Benjamin F. Wood,
chairman of the association, delivered
An interesting discourse during which
be referred to the great dvsntages
offered by the new highway over pre-
sent trails from Chicago to the far
West, and he also called attention to
the interest that the people along the
western end Of the highway are show
ing for the trail. Secretary John 81.
Deets, of the Southern Minnesota
Better Development League explained
the general purpose of the organiza-
tion and urged his audience to join
t he members in boosting the southern
part of the state, one of the best ways
of doing so being to render assistance
in promoting the highway project.
Aside from Chairman Wood and
Secretary Deets, the following gentle
men made up the party: President T.
G. Bonnallie OF the League; Gustav
Holms, member of the committee on
details of the Chicago, Black Hills
and Yellowstone Park Highway; John
Lucier, official photographer of the
party; J. r. Edwards, of the Automo-
bile Blue Book and Charles Nc
Caffree, State immigration Commits
ssioner of South Dakota. In the pilot
c ar were Messrs. Swift and Richard of
Tracy. The party was met in New
Ulm by three auto loads of people
from Sleepy Eye who escorted them to
that place for dinner. The trail blaz-
ers arrived here several hours late
and it has been found necessary to
change the date of their arrival atYel-
lOwstone park from Aug. 25th to Sept.
lst. From Chicago they came up thru
q portion of Illinois and Wisconsin,
N aking stops of greater or less length
in every community along the route.
They crossed the Wisconsin Mime.
'ota state line at La Crosse and
came thru Owatonna, Roches-
er, Mankato to New Ulm, Sleepy Eye,
Springfield, Tracy, Lake Benton and
hen proceeded westward thru South
Oakato to Yellowstone Park.

the heavy end door into place on one
of the cars, when the board upon
which he was standing slipped from
its support and was precipitated to
the ground, striking the coupler or

it necessary to take several stitches in
dressing the wound.

= weIl-known Pioneer Dead.g

| Cnflstlan Anderson, q territorial
pioneer. of Minnesota and one Of
ke ffst settlers Of Brighton, died
Very suddenly at his home in that
township shortly after o'clock We'd
nesday morning. His death was due
to heart failure, and came with little
warning. In his passing Nicollet
county loses one of its grand old
pioneers, man whose integrity was
never questioned and who was held
in the greatest esteem.
Christian Anderson, who was near
ly sc years of age, was born in Nor
way on Oct. 22, 1927. After leaving
school he learned the trade of
cooper, but worked at it only short
time. Convinced that this country
offered the better future for young
man, he left Norway in 1851 and set
tied in Dane county, Wisconsin,
where he followed farming. In 1855
Mr.. Anderson came to Nicollet coun-
ty, and located on a homestead in
Brighton township. This antedated
by two years Minnesota's admission
as state, and made Mr.. Anderson
one of the few men in Nicollet county
who came here in its territorial days.
For the first seven years of his
life there little occurred that was out
of the ordinary, but in August, 1862,
Little Crow and his Sioux went on
the warpath. The Brighton settle
ment, then an outpost of civilization,
was one Of the localities that was
threatened, and Mr.. Anderson and his
family were compelled to abandon
their home. After he had taken his
wife and children to place Of safety
he marched to the relief of New Ulm,
and was present when the final at
tack of the Indians was replused.
For some years Mr.. Anderson had
been sufferer with Bright's disease,
but of late he had seemed unusually
well and strong. Last Tuesday he
complained of feeling tired, but the
members of the family. were not un-
duly alarmed. The following morn
ing, however, it became evident that
his condition was serious. A physi-
clan was summoned from New Ulm,
but the old settler succumbed to a
sudden attack Of heart failure, pass
ing away few minutes before the
doctor reached his home.
Mr.. Anderson had been granted an
unusually long and useful career. He
was model citizen, a devoted hus-
band and kind father. At the end
of long life he leaves that most
priceless possession, name that is
untarnished.
In 1858, while resident of Wis
consin, the deceased was united in
marriage to Miss Christina Sorenson,
whose death occurred on June "a, 1907.
Eight children were born to them,
of whom six survive. They are:
Mrs. Fred Cass, Binkard, Canada;
Ed. Anderson, Thompson, Utah; A. c.
Anderson, St. Peter; Harry Ander-
son, Brighton; Charlie Anderson and
Miss Emma Anderson at home. He
is also survived by one sister, Mrs.
Christopher Jensen of Brighton, and
by fourteen grandchildren.
Funeral services were held from
the M. E. church at Brighton Sunday
afternoon, Rev. Wang officiating.
