could cut away more rapidly. New Ulm
again became an island and the stream
rushed along, both sides. But the weaker
northern rock wore the more rapidly

more of the down-pouring water. Fl

RESTAURANT IMPROVEMENTS

Work was commenced Monday to pre-
pare the former Citizens State Bank
building for restaurant which Ed. Fl
Berndt expects to open therein as soon
as the place can be properly remodeled
Mr.. Berndt is now conducting a res.
taurant in the old Toberer building, ad-
joining the bank property and his bust
ness has grown to such proportions that
it became imperative to secure
new quarters. In this he was success
ful when he last week obtained two
years lease from the Citizens Bank, the
present owners. Mr.. Berndt intends to
fit up the new place with new furniture
thruout and will then have as nice and
attractive restaurant as one can find
anywhere in city of this size In the
matter OF kitchen equipment it will be
modern and up-to-date
There will be Ascension Day services

NEWS FROM THE MILLS.

The improvements OF the two big
flour mills are being pushed rapidly to
completion. At the Eagle Mills the
addition to the corn and rye mill which
will double the capacity of that depart
ment will be completed in few weeks
altho the installation Of the additional
machinery will take considerably longer.
The storage elevator in connection with
the cereal mill will hold between 40 and
so thousand bushels additional grain and
contains seventeen compartments. The
frame timbers are 14x12 oak stock
and the walls are composed of 2x6 lumber
laid flat and securely spiked together.
This gives some idea of the stability of
the new building necessary to withstand
the pressure OF so much grain.
In connection with the expansion of
the cereal mill Mr.. Franklin Edwards
IS making a protracted trip thru the
west in the interest of this department.
He will be gone for some two weeks and
will visit Denver and other western
cities and return via Kansas City.
Mr.. Charles Rohrbach has recently
been employed by the Eagle Milling Co.
to travel in Michigan in the interests of
the firm. This makes a total of forty
men in the field.
During the last week of May the
wheat mill will be shut down for repairs.
1t has been found necessary to replace
the high pressure boiler of the old engine
with new cylinder. It is customary
when cylinder becomes worn to ''bore
out the old cylinder and use it again
but after this has been done several
times the shell becomes so thin that it
becomes dangerous To avoid any
possibility of accident the company has
decided to get new boiler.
At the New Ulm Roller Mill things
are equally prosperous. The new ware
house is now completed and the contract
for the new machinery for the cereal
mill has been awarded to the Strong
Scott Manufacturing Co. of Minneapolis.
When the new machinery is installed the
cereal mill will be as modern as money
can make it,

RAILROAD ITEMS OF INTEREST

Both the local railroad offices reported
heavy traffic at the end of last week
due to the many loyal sons of Norway
who went to the Cities to take part in
the great Seventeenth of May celebra-
ton of the Sons of Norway On the M
4 st. l.. the traffic was especially heavy
and special train was run on Saturday
morning to accommodate the Vikings
OF New Ulm and Hanska. As Hanska
is largely inhabited by Mortimer the
town was about depopulated over Satur-
day and Sunday.
Thru the special efforts of Mr.. Leary
of the M. & St. L. Road, the old freight
rate on crushed stone was recently re-
installed on his road. He convinced the
company that it was utterly impossible
for the New Ulm Stone Companies to
meet the higher rates and now the old
rates OF 1-2 cents have been restored
Both roads are expecting to do con-
siderable work on their road beds during
the summer but it is too early vet to
state particulars of the proposed i'm
provements.
Next Monday morning at 1885 a
train comprised of so cars loaded with
traction engines bound for the fields OF
Nebraska will pass thru New Ulm on
the St. Louis road The engines are
loaded two to a car and shipment like

have to wake up if they expect to keep
pace with the West.

JUSTICE BUM A CANDIDATE.

Among those who filed last week for
state Offices was Associate Justice Geo.
l. Bum OF the State Supreme Court,
who will be a candidate to succeed HIM
self. Justice Bum is now serving an
appointive term, during which he has
clearly demonstrated a fitness for the
office he holds that should commend him
to the voters of Minnesota. He is rec
ognized as one of the strongest judges
on the Supreme Court bench and it would
be a serious mistake if the voters should
fail to give him the elective term he seeks.
