LABOR IN DEMAND
IN DAKOTA FIELDS
AGENTS LOOKING
FOR HELP FIND SCARCITY
OF LABOR
CANADIAN WEST is HARD HIT
THROUGH REMOVAL OF
FOREIGNERS

Representatives of employment
bureaus were in the city several days
of the past week looking over the To-
cal labor market, with a view of en-
gaging men for the harvest fields of
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana. Usually these agents do not
make their appearance until later in
the season, but on account, of the Euro
pean war it is expected that there will
be a decided shortage in labor during
the coming harvest.
According to one of these agents
the greatest trouble is experienced
in securing men for the Canadian
wheat fields. In former years there
was large floating population to be
depended upon to move the crops OF
the Saskatchewan, but even last year
there was shortage, so that there was
considerable of loss on account OF
grain rotting in the shocks and on
the ground. Since then conditions
have gone from bad to worse, as most
of the German population has left
the country and but few young, able
bodied men remain to do the regular
farm work, not to speak of the harvest
rush. The employment bureaus are
not worrying greatly about the Cana
dian crop, however, as their main
concern is the moving of the crop OF
the Northwest in the states.
Although no fancy prices are offered
for labor as yet, it is expected that
$4.00 day, with transportation to
the harvest fields thrown in, will not
be an uncommon thing this fall Sew
eral men were signed up for. three
months work, at wages ranging from
$2.75 to 1915 per day according to
the ability and experience of the appli-
cants. The work includes both shock
ing and threshing.

this source Of supply; the unusual and
severe flood conditions here encountered
would also make this stream undesir-
able as source.
The underground supply would be
obtained from wells or springs. In
this connection visit was paid the
springs known as the Marschner springs,
located approximately two miles from
the City of New Ulm. At the time
OF this visit the aume through which
the water had been conducted to the
mill was broken so that no accurate
estimate of the amount of the flow
could be made. This flow was ex-
smined, however, during the previous
summer by Mr.. Mueller, superinten-
dent OF the electric light and water
plant, and from his estimate we find
that the flow of these springs ranges
from $50 to 200 gallons per minute.
To develop this spring, pipe and pump
the water and connect to the present
water systems would involve the ex-
penditure of very considerable sum
OF money: A sufficient amount of
land would need to be acquired in or
der that the springs might be protected
against possible surface pollution.
There is little, if any, question but that
wholesome and suitable water in suffi-
cient quantities can be obtained from
wells. Owing to the nature of rock
formation in New Ulm it is apparent
that each well will have limited ca
pacity and the amount of water Oh.
tanned is only limited by the number
OF wells, provided that the wells are
located a reasonable distance apart"

BURGLARS TAP SALOON TILL

Burglars are reported to have entered
the Woratscky saloon on the night from
Saturday to Sunday and to have gotten
away with about $12 from the cash
drawer. Because of the fact that there
was nothing else missing, the police are
of the opinion that the job was done by
some one intimately acquainted with
conditions in the place. There were no
marks on the doors or windows and &C
cess must have been gained by means o.
duplicate key. No clew to the maraud.
ers has been found so far.

PICNIC AT HUNTERS REST
Junior Pioneers Will Hold Catherine
At Popular Picnic Place
Next Sunday

Invitations have been sent out this
week to all members of the Junior
Pioneers association and to those who
are eligible to membership for the
annual picnic, which will be held at
Hunters Rest, the popular picnic place
on the banks of the Cottonwood next
Sunday. 1t had previously been planned
to arrange the picnic out in Milford,
in order to give those who attend an
opportunity to view the monument
erected near the Henle farm, but it
was thought advisable to chose more
easily accessible place, as Hunters
Rest practically is within walking dis
lance of the city.
The gathering will be private affai,
and only the members and their families
are invited. The pioneers themselves
however, will be regarded as the guests
of the organization. The gathering
will take the form of a basket picnic
and it is not expected that any sci
program will be followed out. Each
family is expected to bring their lunch
as only coffee and cream will be served
on the grounds. The picnic will begir
at 1:30.
In the course of the afternoon bust
ness session of the association will
be held at which time opportunity
will be offered those who are eligible
to membership to join the organiza.
ton.
Should any who are Junior Pioneers
or who are eligible to membership
fail to receive an invitation the com.
mlttee in charge is anxious that they
should be notified for it is desired that
everyone connected in any way with
the organization be present and en-
Joy pleasant outing.

EXPERTS REPORT
ON WATER SUPPLY
FILTRATION PLANT WILL COME
WHEN CITY OUTGROWS
DEEP WELLS
ENGINEERS TO GIVE COMPLETE
ESTIMATE OF COST OF
FUTURE SUPPLY

BY spending approximately $500
at the present time, the city water
supply can be made adequate for the
next five years, according to the report
on the water situation submitted to
the city council by the engineers, Pills
bury & Co. of Minneapolis. Their
Mr.. Foster was in the city to make a
thorough investigation about a month
ago and upon his Investigations the
report is based.
Mr.. Foster and members of the light
and water committee visited all the
known supplies in the vicinity at the
time, even considering the availability
of the water of the Cottonwood and
Minnesota rivers with the idea of es-
tablishing filtering plant. Because
of the large investment already made
at the pumping station the experts are
of the opinion that the city would do
best to continue the present deep we'll
system. The report says New Ulm
should continue to use the wells so
long as they will furnish supply of
wholesome water, and when the same
become inadequate to supply the re-
quired amount of water that one or
more additional wells should be drill
ed and equipped with efficient pump
ing machinery. ~
The immediate installation of an
other pump at the station is recommend
ed; also the repair of one of the pumps
now not in the best of condition. The
report points out the necessity for
early action, as the summer sea
son is at hand, and should one of the
present. pumps be disabled for any
considerable time the water service
would be badly crippled and the fire
protection greatly endangered.
Future requirements of the city in
the way of water are based on the
growth of the city in the past and the
amount of water used every year
The necessity of a greater supply in
the near future is pointed out.
| Speaking of the source of future
supply the report goes into detail as
to the investigation made, saying
ut is evident that the water supply
must come from one Of the two sourc.
es, either surface water or underground
water. The surface supply might be
taken from the Cottonwood river OF
the Minnesota river, but either would
of necessity, require treatment and
fltering.
''In this connection investigation
was made of the Minnesota and the
Cottonwood rivers. In the instance
of the Minnesota river an ample supply
of water could be expected at all sea.
sons of the year and no unusual Difficult.
ties were noted in the installation
of a suitable filtration plant, using
this river as a source of supply. As
to the Cottonwood river, the volume
of flow during the dry season is so small
as to discourage the consideration Of

According to recent decision handed
down by the state supreme court money
appropriated by a county or township
for the construction or repair of a Ger
tain road can not be used for other
purposes. 1t is usual, however, for
townships to appropriate money under
the general head of road purposes, thus

IDEAL WEATHER BRINGS
CROWD TOPARK CONCERT

Ideal weather brought out the crowd
at last Sunday evenings concert by the
Second Regiment band at German Park.
The green near the band stand was
thronged with visitors and every bench
in the park had it's occupants. The
shortage Of benches at the park has
caused considerable comment and the
erection of pavilion, where seats and
tables can be placed for the serving of re-
freshments has been talked of by some
city officials who attended the concert

and had the choice of either standing up
or finding soft spot in the grass. A
substantial structure providing protec-
ton against rain and comfort for the
visitors would no doubt be appreciated
by the public. Complaint has been
made by the management of the band
of the unnecessary noise made by the
youngsters during the concerts and in
order to stop the practice several special
policemen will be on hand next Sunday
evening to keep better order. Next
Sunday evenings program follows:
