!: LOCAL NOTES

John Schneider of Springfield was a
business caller in the city Tuesday.
I A baby boy was born to Mr.. and Mrs ;.
c. I. Stone Monday evening.
Mrs. J. H. Fritz spent day last week
with Mrs. Tudor Jones at Cambria.
Fred Meme of New Ulm spent Sunday
with his mother in Mankato.
w. E. Engelbert, assistant cashier lat
the Citizens State Bank, transacted
business in St Peter Tuesday.
A fire at Ortonville destroyed mer-
camille store valued at $4,000 and
mercantile goods valued at $4,000.
Harry Hendley and Adolph Hermel,
proprietors of the National Wooden Mills
Clothing House were Sunday visitors in
Mankato.
Crone Bros. have joined the pro-
cession and now use new auto delivery
truck. It is Ford and gets around as
lively as all the rest of its kind.
Prof. E. r. Bliefernicht occupied the
pulpit in the Morgan Lutheran church
last Sunday. The congregation there
celebrated their annual Mission festival.
The village of Franklin has entered
into contract with the Northern States
Power Co. whereby this corporation
will furnish Franklin electric power for
fifteen years.
Mrs. Otto Tape and Mrs. Louis
Sandau of this city left Friday for Fair
fax where they attended the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the Saint Johns Lutheran
church held at that place Sunday.
Miss Anna H. Pietrus, niece of Mr..
and Mrs. w. T. Eckstein, was offered
the position of stenographer with the
Citizens State Bank of St. Peter the
beginning of last week and entered upon
her duties with that institution last
Thursday.
A very DISASTROUS automobile accident
took place on the road near Lamberton
last Saturday evening when big six
cylinder Cole collided with Ford car.
It seems from the information which we
are able to gather that the Ford was
running with but one light which in the
darkness gave the driver of the Cole car
the impression of a motorcycle and con-
sequently he gave the Ford the amount
of road that an ordinary motorcycle
would require. When the cars met
there was a general smash-up in which
one man broke his leg, another an arm
while one of the occupants was fortunate
enough to escape with a sadly bruised
face. The engine in the Ford car was
completely demolished and the two front
wheels of the Cole were snapped off at
the axle. We were unable to learn the
names of the parties but we understand
that the occupants of the Cole car were
from Redwood Falls while the Ford was
from Window.

THE RlQht To Decide.

The following editorial in the WASH
ington Post of June 80, on Fodder for
Machine Guns" has struck responsive
chord throughout the country:
If the honor of the United States can
be maintained by peaceful methods,
who shall say that the Nation should go
10 war?
Those who want war must be willing
themselves to sacrifice their lives upon
the altar of national devotion.
None but poltroon and coward
would fail to make the sacrifice If the
honor of the country were at stake, but
only those who are in full possession
of all the facts in the Mexican situation
can decide what the national interest
demands.
What man in public life, what official
aor orator in the market places, can say
that he is more jealous of the national
honor than are the people themselves?
The honor of the Nation is safe in the
hands OF the American people.
And what are the people saying?
What are they thinking as they walk
: through the streets? What are they
saying about their own supper table
after they have returned from their daily
work? In one OF his speeches Presi-
dent Wilson said:
II would a great deal rather know
what the men on the trains and by the
wayside and in the shops and on the
farms are thinking about and yearning
for than hear any OF the vociferous pro-
clamations of policy, which it is so easy
to read by picking up any scraps Of
printed paper"
Those who are expected to sacrifice
their lives upon the battlefield, the
fathers and mothers who yield their
ssons and who yield them willingly when
the honor of the Nation is at stake,
should have something to say about the
question of war.

Chas. Scharf and VIM. Gosewisch sof
New Prague were in the city last week
looking for some place to live. They
wished to remove with their families to
New Ulm but were having quite a time
to locate anything suitable. They were
willing either to buy or rent. They
were only two of the many who come to
the Review office every week looking
for living places. If any one has any
thing to rent, it would be favor all
around to let us know about it since
these seekers simply insist that we must
know of something and will not take a
negative answer but actually stand
around and wait for us to think up
places for them to live. We are not a
rental agency but if this keeps on we
shall have to establish one in self pro.
lection.

Here's something that strikes us as
being quite funny. A letter was re-
ceived by the Review last week running
as follows:
"Gentlemen,-
To settle an argument I should like
to have you answer the following ques-
ton: Is New Ulm ''dry" at the present
time and when was the last prohibition
vote taken? Also how long has the
town been 'dry'' if such is the case?"
Any of our readers is invited to submit
an answer to the questions. We rather
think we might secure some interesting
replies if we were to offer a reward fol-
the best. And probably the best
answers would come from Hanska OF
some of our neighboring sister com.
munities.

BY midnight tonight, the last e.
fects of the railroad strike will hav'
disappeared, and business on the Gull
& Ship Island in all departments
should be normal.
This is the belief of w. E. Leonard
superintendent of the Railroad com
pany, who has been directing thu
Hattiesburg end of the fight in thu
contest between the trainmen and thu
company.
Bright and early this morning, the
long trains of many cars, tied up in
the South yards for days, began NOV
ing about. The seven engines which
have stood in the yards, coaled and
steamed up for two or three days
were attached to the cars, and the
old time activity there again was pres
emf.
One northbound freight and two
southbound ones departed this after
noon. The switchmen on the yards
have been experiencing no difficulty in
going about their work By night, Mr..
Leonard says, every train will be in
operation.
The latest information from Lau-
rel" he continued, lis that the oper-
alton of trains on that division will be
under way before the middle of the
afternoon. Everything should be work
ing smoothly by night A corps of
deputy marshals are on the job there
but are having little to do
Mr.. Leonard said that he had not
heard that w. T. Stewart, vice presi
ident and general manager of the
railroad company had issued a state
ment to the effect that he would treat
in no way with the strikers or the
union men as unionsts.

fGem tonight. Tomorrow, the celebrat
ed actress, Clara Kimball Young, viii
appear in Camille"
| Camille is the name of Marguerite
! Gautier, "the lady with the camel

| She is beautiful and absolutely un
fscrupulous in the qualification of her
passions. A wealthy lover, de Varville
is at her feet, where he places his
fortune, amounting to millions-Of
course Camille takes his money-but
spurns his love.
Young Armand, young Jaw student,
arrives. Upon him vicions Camille
costs an alluring eye and Armand
falls for her.
: Of course, de Varville doesn't take
it lying down, and he and Armand
fight a duel, neither being killed.
Finally Camille dies of a broken
heart, signifying in the usual manner
that she loved Armand and not de
Varville.
Clara Kimball Young, in the part
of Camille, has an opportunity of show
ing what a fine artist she is-regis-
tering every emotion perfectly.

time available, incomplete statistics
show a substantial export of yellow
pine from the Gulf ports in February
running UP to over 80 million feet, as
compared about 26 in the same period
of 1915, which time the export trade
had begun TO show considerable re-
covery after the beginning of the war.
Further advices regarding purchases
of yellow pine for European govern
ment account, while not yet as def
mite as might be desired, are OF an
encouraging nature. The recent report
of an order for the French Govern
ment amounting to AZ million ftet,
concerning which there has been some
degree of mystery, and a marked de-
gree of reticence on the part of those
interested in it, has again come to the
front in a more positive form, having
been reported as placed with n3m-
Der of large concerns according to
different rumOrs Just which one OF
them has landed the order, or how it
is divided among them, has not yet
developed but one OF the interested
concerns has. practically confirmed the
report that it is on the point of being
placed is not already concluded. The
one which has been definitely pend
ing for several weeks for nearly the
same amount, is said to be practically
settled, although not actually closed,
and a definite announcement is prom
ised in the near future. With all due
allowance for the uncertainty attach
ing to the lack of positive announce
ments, there appears to be little doubt
that something substantial in the way
of this class of business is about to
break soon.1

| While the influence working in the
yellow pine market are of a uniformly
| favorable character, they are largely
| set at naught at this time by the car
, shortage situation, which is becOm-
| ing more serious, and on account Of
the limitation thus placed upon the
movement of lumber, is to be taken
into account in considering the stats
teal situation. Briefly stated, the con-
gestiOn OF loaded cars on the northern
Atlantic seaboard comedies with an
unusual dearth of cars in other sec
tiOns, and the strenuous endeavOrS of
the carriers to relieve the situation by
requiring a delivery to the western
roads of a surplus of cars over those
received from them has not yet re-
suited in any noticeable alienation.
The necessary results of this condi-
ton is not only that the yellow pine
mills, like all other shippers, are I'm
able to move the lumber they have
sold as promptly as required and get
it out of their sheds, but are hesitat-
ing to take orders on account of in
ability to make deliveries, as well as
unwillingness to accept orders on the
present basis of prices for material
whose shipment is practically certain
TO suffer considerable delays
In the meantime there are no signs
apparent indicating anything but an
increasing demand for yellow pine
lumber. The railroads are making
strenuous endeavors to augment their
rolling stock by the purchase of new
cars and repairs of old ones, which |
is bringing out a large demand from |
them for lumber; and are also taking |
of their record volume of |
traffic and increased earnings to make |
large purchases of bridge and other
material for upkeep and |
betterments. In this class of work |
yellow pine is the preferred wood, and
the call from this source is assist
ing to a marked extent in maintain
