THE MAN ABOUT
TOWN
What If the oil Gives out?

II you have not taken ride over
the city since last season, you
have a delightful surprise before YOU.
Beautiful residences line the streets
everywhere and new additions are be-
ing built up with an eye TO more per-
feet symmetry. And yet with all the
bona fide prosperity, how often is the
question asked what will become of
Tulsa when the oil gives out?" The
answer TO this quetsion may be fig
ured out with mathematical eXactness.
The foundation of every city's ultimate
greatness lies In its manufacturing in
dustries and the surrounding agrlcul-
tural territory. Ii Is perfectly safe
to assume that the wealth of soil
hereabouts would not keep Tulsa go
ing long at its present gait, and II IL
unfortunate that more concerted ac-
tion is not being taken TO induce in
dustries to locate in Tulsa.
Sand Springs has caught the spirit
which makes rich and lasting security
for community life. All sorts of bait
are offered TO bring in new manufac-
tories and these mean more workers,
more stores to feed and clothe them
In word an increase of prosperity
TO every member of the economic sys-
TEN in the city. There are forces in
Tulsa working TO the same end, but
the citizenship, generally. seems to
be asleep to the Importance Of build>
ing up at once a great industrial CEN
ter. A free location should be avail
able FOR every concern which can
show itself as possible permanent
factor in our industrial life, and the
gentlemen whose business it is to ad-
vertise Tulsa should be empowereo
to go the limit in their effort to make
Tulsa the industrial center of tho
southwest. The oil is good for many
years yet, but permanent seat of
manufacture is worth many Oil wells
to the community.

TWO CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS CARRIED

Only two of the amendments to the
State Constitution out of the eight SUBJ
mitted to the voters at the last election,
received votes enough for their adop-
ton. They we're the first and second.
The first, whic related to the improv-
ment of state lands, to be sold to settlers,
borrowing money for this improvements
from the school funds, received over
$4,000 more votes than was necessary
for it's adoption, while the second a.
mendment had scarcely 5000 to the good.
The other six amendments were de
cisively defeated, although all of them
had a majority of the Eyes, vote over
'le "no".
The first amendment received 240,977
votes to 5S,102 against it. While 211,-
sol voted for the second, 56,14S cast
their ballots the other way.
The largest vote recorded against

cheaper than it had been before. In fact
it had not been used very many years
then.
With the high prices in those days for
most all commodities labor was much
cheaper than now. The housewife was
able to secure competent kitchen
help at $1.25 week, and skilled car
penters received $1.25 a day. Other
tradesmen received pay in proportion.
Prices Again Sag
A few years later prices began to sag
again-after the effects of the war had
subsided-and within a comparatively
short time got almost below normal.
The chef of the Palmer House cafe in
Chicago says that about forty-five years
ago flour took Jump from So to $3.50 a
barrel and people began to ''howr' about
the high cost Of living. The chef says,
according to an item found in Mr..
Crone's scrap book, they were paying
rs cents a bushel for potatoes and
cents dozen for eggs and thought them
"steep."

HANDSOME NEW BLOCK.

The Weiser block, corner of Minnesota

pleted, and many Of the office suites on
the second floor are already occupied.
Those who are now occupying offices in
the new building are: Attorney ALI. w.
Mueller and DR.. H. G.. Edmeiston

dictionary store and will be ready TO,
the tenants within short time. The
front suite on the Second floor will be
occupied by the New Ulm Savings &

THANKSGIVING DAY
CHURCH SERVICES
NOT MANY FESTIVITIES ARE
PLANNED FOR THE COMING
HOLIDAY
USUAL CHURCH SERVICES AND
FEWFsoCIAL GATHERINGS
FOR DAY

Thanksgiving day promises to be a
rather quiet holiday in New Ulm this
year. 1t is said that owing to an unusual
amount of sickness in the city at the
present time much of the contemplated
entertaining by New Ulm hosts will be
dispensed with.
Union Church Services
The usual church services will be held.
Four Protestant Congregations, the Con-
gregational, the Methodist, the Bethel
and Friedens will join in Union services
at the latter house of worship on North
State street, the pastor, Rev. George
Mayer, preaching the sermon, while Rev.
C. Holm, Rev. E. F. Wheeler and Rev.
H. F. Schlaak will assist in the services.
High mass will be celebrated at the
Holy Trinity Catholic church, at 8
o'clock Thursday morning. A Thanks
giving sermon will be preached on that
occasion. Rev. Father Schlinkert will
officiate at the services.
Special Thanksgiving services will be
held at the Lutheran church at 1890
o'clock, when an appropriate sermon will
be preached by Rev. C. J. Albrecht.
Program at Schools.
A short program will be given at the
Lincoln school this afternoon. The
students in the other ward schools are
preparing their Christmas program, and
did not wish to take the time for a
Thanksgiving program. All the schools
were given their preference relative to a
Thanksgiving or a Christmas program,
and only the Lincoln young folk chose
the former.
A program of songs, poems and in
strumental music will be given at the
Catholic school this afternoon.
The usual Thanksgiving dinner will
be served the students of the DR.. Martin
Luther college, the ladies of the church
providing the dinner.

any Of the amendments was that re-
lating to enlarging the State Supreme
Court, which was opposed by 108,O03
while 130,307 voted for it. The fact
that the amendment was so strongly
opposed is taken as an indication that
many people who voted against it had
not taken the time or trouble to study
it thoroughly, or even at all, before 60
ing to the polls. This belief is gained
because it's adoption would not have
added dollar to the expense of the state,
as it merely provided for making the
two Supreme Court Commissioners into
Justices.

Big TURKEY SHOOT
GIVES FAIR BOOST
BROWN COUNTY ASSOCIATION
OVER $3.50 RICHER BY
AFFAIR
TURKEYS, DUCKS AND GEESE
DISPOSED OF BY SCORES
AT ARMORY -~

More people attended the big turkey
shooting tournament and deer rattle at
the Armory last Sunday than ever be-
fore, and more money secured for the
benefit of the Brown County Agricul-
tural Association than on any previous
similar occasion. The association is
richer by the affair by somewhere be-
tween $3.50 and $500, and besides that
all who attended were rewarded with the
time of their lives, and many of them a
bird, besides.
Many Strangers Present.
The attendance was not confined to
New Ulm nor Brown county. They
came in droves and punches. Spring
field, Hanska, Sleepy Eye and nearly
every township in the county were well
represented; then they were here from
Madelia; Gibbon, Fairfax and Nicollet
and good many of them took turkey
home with them.
The deer, which was donated by the
Schell Brewing Company, went to C. D.
Antritter, manager of the Hart Lumber
Company, who held the lucky number,
756. Besides the deer, which was fine
buck, there were ninety turkeys, fifty
five ducks and twenty geese disposed of.
Out of town people took their birds
home with them, while those won in the
city were delivered to the lucky ones
yesterday afternoon.
The total receipts were $3.50, and after
the expenses have been paid the balance
will be turned over to the treasurer of
the fair organization. 1t is believed to
be we'll over $3.50. The net receipts
are said by the officials to be at least
$500 more than was realized last year. 1
The plan of holding the shoot in the
Armory is considered most happy one
by the promoters, it being proven that
not only more people attended, but they
remained longer and enjoyed them
selves much more. Music was furnished
during the afternoon by William Winkel-
mann on the pianola. The shooting
began at l p. m. and lasted until nearly
o'clock.
The men having the affair in charge,
and their lieutenants had been busy for
several days securing the country for
I turkeys, ducks and geese and in view
OF the scarcity Of fowls Of this class this
year it was not an easy task to perform.
Proceeds to County Fair.
The shoot and rattle is an annual
affair, the entire proceeds of which are
always donated to the fair association,
which an assistance of no small pro-
portions, and officers always appreciate
the assistance that is given it in fnan-
cial way.
The success of this years. shooting
tournament will probably settle the
question of location and it will most
likely be held in the Armory in all the
years to come.
Many OF those from distance Sunday
announced their determination to attend
all future affairs of the kind here.

MINNEAPOLIS CITIZEN,

Saturday, to learn of the death of Christ
