company together with a number OF
records. Herman Setter of Tracy, an
enthusiastic Junior Pioneer, sent SIS to
help defray the expenses of entertaining
the Pioneers.
Banquet For Pioneers
After the entertainment in the large
hall was over, all returned to the small
hall and from there marched to the
banquet hall in the gymnasium. There
were nearly 200 to sit down at the tables
and almost fifty of them were old pioneers.
The excellent banquet was served by the
Turner Ladies Society and was thoroly
enjoyed by every one. While the meal
was being served Prof. Ed. Bosky de-
lighted the banqueters with charming
either music.
Herman Helm acted as POSTMASTER at
the banquet and acquitted himself of this
job very creditably. The program was
made short in Difference to the old folks
because it is quite hardship for them to
sit quiet for a long time. There was only
one musical number and that was fur
nished by ladies trio consisting of Mrs.
w. G.. Alvin, Mrs. L. G. Bell and Mrs.
Herman Helm. They were called on for
an encore and responded to the demand.
Peter Mack, the only surviving men,
Der of the first party that came here 81
years ago was on the program for few
remarks and he told about the Milford
spring which he saw few days ago for
the first time since his arrival with the
first settlers. He described the changes
that have taken place in that part of
Milford since the early days, especially
in the vegetation
He was followed by Fred Fritsche who
referred to the laying out of the city of
New Ulm by Civil Engineer Volk and
gave it as his opinion that to this sur
veyor is due great deal of the credit for
New Ulm's being such a beautiful city,
because he did his work in such a way
that the natural beauties of this locality
were made the most of. He stated
further that Volk had never received
any recognition for his work whatsoever
and suggested that the least that could
be done would be to have tablet erected
and dedicated to his memory.
Mrs. John Schapekahm recited poem
in which the achievements of the Ger
mans in this country were graphically
portrayed. Toastmaster Helm read
poem which was very appropriate for the
occasion. Another number on the pro-
gram was a poem written by A. G. Ochs
of Springfield upon the occasion of the
Golden Jubilee four years ago. A. J.
Alvin read it in such a manner as to
bring out the sentiments expressed in
the words.
To Garry Out Ideals
The main address of the evening was
delivered by Albert Steinhauser, Presi-
dent of the Junior Pioneers, who prom
ised the old folks that the young people
would carry out all work left unfinished
by them. He told them that the Junior
Pioneers had that day formed a cor
poration and explained to them all the
different things that they hoped to
achieve some time in the near future.
He mentioned the plan for home
coming for the purpose of bringing all the
children of the pioneers back to the old
home once more to visit with each other
and with the old folks. He also told
them that the Junior Pioneers plan to
erect typical log house on the Fair
Grounds next summer where the old
folks can rest and meet their friends
during the Fair days.
The gathering was most enjoyable and
delightful and left every one who took
part in a happy frame of mind. Those
from outside who attended were Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Voss of Echo, Peter Koehler of
Minneapolis and A. J. Alvin of Mound.
