| Monday the G. A. Ottomeyer and w.
E. Engelbert families took a trip to
Fairmont. Mr.. Ottomeyer was greatly
impressed with the building activity and
the general air of prosperity manifested
in the County seat of Martin County
Just at present 81 blocks of creosote
paving are being made and a $4,000
park is being converted into pleasure
resort. This in addition to large
! amount of building. When it is con-
sidered that Fairmont is only a trihe
more than half as large as New Ulm,
the activity there shown certainly is to
Fairmont's credit. By comparison New
Ulm's building activity is not anywhere
in it with Fairmont's this year altho a
great many homes are being built.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. C. Gilmore returned
home from Luverne, N. D. the last part
of last week where they had been looking
after their crops. Luverne is in Steele
County and Mr.. Gilmore says the farmers
in that section are going to see very hard
times this winter. The crops are so
poor that the threshing bill takes prac-
tically all they get from the crop and in
many places it is not thought worth
! while to thresh. The threshers do not
charge by the bushel there this year but
charge $40 an hour and furnish their
own food. Mr.. Gilmore said his crop
gave him enough for seed and to pay the
threshing bill but no more.
Gustav A. Altenbern and his sister
Elsie were called by telegram yesterday
