PIONEER ZEE DAYS OF
NEW ULM RELATED
LUTHER NICHOLS WRITES OF
OLD TIMES ON THE WILD
FRONTIER
PRESENT SITE OF MANKATO
OFFERED FOR A YOKE OF
OXEN

When Luther H. Nichols, who is one
one Of the first white children born in
Brown County, and native of Cotton
wood township, now a resident of North
North Yakima, Wash, was here several
weeks ago to attend the funeral of his
mother, he promised to give the Review
some of his "reminiscences OF pioneer days.
His time was too limited at that time,
but since his return to his western home
Mr.. Nichols has prepared the following
story of the early years in Brown county.
Before leaving for the west Mr..
Nichols said: My mother, without
question, was the first white woman
to come to Brown county,
Mr.. Nichols writes as follows:
First Whites in Brown County
In complying with the request Of
the Review to relate some of my re-
mlniscences of the early days on the
bc-der, ] find myself somewhat embarass-
ed in coming forward, for fear of my
inability to do justice to the occasion.
Yet l trust that / may be able to re-
count some of the events that took place
during those stirring times, that will be
Interesting to those, at least, who are
still alive and who took an active part
IN wrestling so fair a land from the
wilderness and Transforming it into
prosperous farming communities, and
beautiful cities, with nicely paved streets
and we'll kept highways leading to all
sections of the country. What the
pioneers accomplished, what hardships
they endured, the sacrifices they made,
cannot be realized by the present gene
ration, who have grown up with different
conditions ard better environments,
the result Of the efforts Of those forer-
runners OF civilization, who with daunt-
less courage answered the call of the
/. West, where homes on the broad and
fertile prarties were to be had for the
coming. Those sturdy men and women
made history, a history, of which their
sons and daughters may well be proud,
especially those Of Brown and neighbor-
ing counties for within their borders
tIe great conflict took place between
cilivization and savagery, ignorance
against intelligence, right against wrong,
the White against the Red. The result of
this conflict is a matter Of history so it
need not be repeated here. However,
it is well to mention that the history of
the Indian is that of every nation who
lived by the chase, giving way before
the tillers of the soil.
In beginning my "reminiscences, /
shall start with the declaration that the
family of Peyton Nichols who was my
father, and Alfred Van Patten, were the
first white settlers to- locate in Brown
county. In support of this declaration
it is necessary that 1 give my reasons
for knowing it to be true

\
crop in the territory from which the
Eagle Roller Mill Company usually
draws its supplies, was almost total
failure, and the mill was obliged to seek
other and irregular channels, the business
done by the company was highly salts
factory to the officers and stockholders.
The cost OF production, however, was
much higher, both in the matter of the
price of wheat and in the freight in
getting the wheat tt, the mill.
The car shortage has also been a
serious handicap to the company both
IN getting the grain to the mill and in
shipping the flour and other manu-
featured products away, but at that an
average of more than three train loads
OF fifty cars week were shipped OUT
during the year.
Million Barrels Manufactured.
The total number of bushels OF wheat,
rye. and corn ground was ,666, ITO, and
the output Of both mills was equal to
LOTT $40 barrels. The offal amounted
to 66,615, 607 pounds. There were
1865 tons Of offal consumed during the
year, at a cost of SIS, 692.5O. The COM
pany paid iii freight to the two railroads,
the Chicago & Northwestern and the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, at this point,
s507 ,6O8.26.
The company's expenditures in sala-
ries, taxes, insurance, etc, and which
does net include the amounts paid in
freight, was $6O0,22S.22.
There are 205 employees Of The company
in New Ulm, including the officers:
sSeventy-six agents and assistants are
employed ii the country elevators. The
travelling force, including branch mana
gers, speciality statesmen, etc, consists
Of forty-tWo persons. This makes a
grand total on the payroll Of 323 persons.
Business is Large.
The total amount Of business done
during the year was 1867 ,567 .9g.
Figuring 10000 pounds Of offal as the
average weight of car, and two hundred
barrels as the average weight Of cal,
it required 1850 cars to move the pro-
ducts which divided into trains Of fifty
cars each, equals l52 train loads.
AS usual the company made more or
less improvements in the mill, consisting
mostly of machinery and new apparatus
and machinery, for which in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 was paid out.
The Eagle Roller Mill is one Of the
really large institutions Of the state and
one of which, the people here are Justly
proud. H.

COUNTRY COMES
FIRST WITH HIM
Editor Of the Newton Record, In Intro
duclno Pat Harrison, Tells Why.
Hs Parted Company With
Senator Vardaman.

G. e. Cunningham, editor of the
Newton Record, who has given Sena-
tor Vardaman able and influential sup
port in the past, Is one of the thon-
sands OF the junior senator's former
political friends who cannot endorse
his record Of opposition to the Demo-
cratic administration. When Con-
gresham Pat Harrison, candidate for
the Senate to succeed Senator Varda-
man, spoke at Newton the other day.
he was introduced BY Mr.. Cunning
ham, who said:
We have assembled here this afternoon
to hear the address Of a distinguished
gentleman, Of whom most Of us have
heard a great deal OF late, but few Of
us have had an opportunity to listen to
message from his own lips. 1t was my
privilege during the last meeting Of the
State Democratic Convention in Jackson
to hear his address before that body, and
his magnificent speech at that time, filled
with logic, eloquence. patriotism and
common sense, elected rounds OF applause
and cheers from that gathering of the
leading Democrats from all parts Of the
state. and showed the esteem in which he
Is held and the hearty approval Of what
he had to say.
At that time our nation had not been
drawn into that great and terrible con-
flict now raging on the European conti-
nent, but we we're having trouble with
our neighbor on the south, Mexico. In
his inspiring address before that conven-
tion The speaker of this occasion was up
holding the hands of that great good and
patient man--the worlds greatest man,
citizen and official--Hon. woodrow Will
son. Great, not because he is president
a!one. but because of his master mind.
his scholarly attainments, his matchess
Judgment, his upright Christian charac-
ter, and his intense interest in the well
fare OF humanity. Our speaker today is
still giving him his support in the try
ing times that have fallen to his lot as
president.
When the president, in his great fore
sight, saw thar something must be done,
ne assembled rongrcss in special session,
put facts and information as he had on
the war situation before that body and
after getting these facts, with just a
few exceptions, congress almost uHani-
mously passed resolution declaring that
a state OF war existed. Now, none Of US
want war--though, with the information
that have gained from various sources,
I don't see how it was possible to avoid
it. A few members of the house and
senate opposed this declaration, which
was their privilege without being sub
jected to censure, and Senator Varda-
man was one Of them. But after war
was declared every loyal citizen OF the
United States should stand by the coun-
Try and the president. and give no voice

Attention Farmers

At its last regular meeting
the Okolona Business Mems Club
voted on a measure that is of
vital Importance to the country
people living in Okolona's trade
territory. Each country com
munity is to elect two members
from among their number who
are to be members of. the Club
in every sense of the word ex-
cept they will not be required to
pay the regular dues. These
members will be expected to act
as an advisory board to the
Board of Directors of the Busi-
ness Mems Club and to the Dem
onstration Agent, that together
they may decide upon and carry
out those things that are to the
best interest of the whole COM
munity.
1t is up to the country people
to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity and elect some good live
members who will attend the
meetings and look after the com.
munity interests. The time for
growing and grumbling is past.
Now is the time to act if you
want to conserve your welfare
as well as that of the whole COM
munity.
Within the next two weeks,
will hold meetings at Chalk Bluff
School House, Marion School
House, Wren School House, Bu.
ena Vista and Egypt for thepur-
pose of organizing the communi-
ty and electing the aforemen.
toned members. These organi-
cations will be along the lines of
the community congress.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1917-11-15

The most obvious manner in
which the Club is and can be ofI
benefit to the country people is
by securing markets for farm
products. Up to this year Okolo-
ma had no corn market. The
first elevator came here through
efforts of the Club, now Okolona
is the best corn market in North
Mississippi.
1t is through the Club that L
am here to serve the people, now
that the crops are made / can
help organize cooperative mar
keting in all products.
In order to take advantage of
the good price of shelled corn, l
have arranged a cooperative
shelter down as Hawkins mill.
Corn brought here will net the
farmers 81. 40 as long as the for
eign market continues as good
as it is now, This means you
will have ST. 40 for your corn af-
ter all expenses are paid. All
you have to do is to unload your
corn. By the time it is unloaded
it is shelled and weighed and
and you get your money. The
mill moves it to the car. The
mill will run the first four days
in each week until further notice.
1t will not run on Friday nor
Saturday.
will get out car of sorghum
and car of potatoes in a few
days. If you have any to ship,
irop me a card stating how
much. At any time that you
nave anything to SELL cattle,
aogs, corn, potatoes, write me
not less than two weeks before
you are ready to sell.

MAN IS KILLED AND
 WAR PLOT Is SCENTED

PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-Sa.n Jenkins. trusted employee of the gov ernment. the only man who knew the location of every motor station and electrical device at the Frank fort, Kentucky arsenal was brutally beaten down last night, then shot to death. Jenkins was killed within two squares of his home.
 At the hospital Jenkins said that he almost got the best of the two men who had attacked. him He was unable to describe his assailants. Three minutes after reaching the hos pital he died.
 Working along the theory of some one at the arsenal wishing to re- move Jenkins so it might be possible to cripple the electrical apparatus there, police, with the secret servica ? guards employed there, interrogated enc man whom they suspected. He accounted for his time during the evening. His alibi is being further in- vestigated.

KING OF GREECE MAY BE CAPTIVE

CONSTANTINOPLE, March G. The Famine newspaper says that the King of Greece is now virtually held prisoner by the Entente powers in his palace at Athens and that those pow CTS have established censorship and blockade around Greece which makes the feeble efforts of Germany in Bel gium look like amateurs. In addi- ton to the king. it is said. the heads of the royalist forces are also kept within close surveillance and have been given to understand that an at tempt on their part to leave the ter ritory would result in their arrest.
 Authorities here believe that the harsh treatment of Greece has made her an enemy of the Entente Allies forever, and that she would willingly join the Central powers now if she had the opportunity.
