sKAT PLAYERS VERY BUSY

At Monday evenings skat gathering
there were ten tables playing and prizes
went to the following: R. Williams, Is
net games, Paul Hackbarth, 40 net
points, Otto Oswald, Club Solo against
four and two special prizes were awarded
to. A. s. Dorm for high play, 100 and
J. Backer, Club Tourney against four.
Interest in the game is keen and a
number are planning on attending the
sSrste Skat Tournament which will be
he'd at st. Paul the 4th of February.
Ire 3rd of February is the last day of
the St Paul Carnival and the Skat
enthusiasts are trying to get the Com
mercial Club to take an interest and get
a representation together for the pur-
pose of making a noise like New Ulm at
the Carnival. A meeting was called
by President Ottonaeyer last evening to
talk over the matter and the skat
onkek are planning to have special
train, to take them to the tournament
and. the New Ulm boosters to the carni-
val. It is likely that if any one goes the
band viii be among the New ulnn ag-
gregation.

i (
companion, made across the stream and
attacked the hated Chippewas.
While they claimed to have killed
q number they brought back only one
scalp, but succeeded in driving the
enemy away.
This was positively thel last battle OF
any note whatever between the Sioux
an Chippewas in Minnesota.
If there is to be state park to mark
the place of the last battle between the
two hostile tribes, as I said before, let
It be at Shakopee.
In 1860 a party Of Sioux went
into the Crow river country, a strip of
neutral ground in the vicinity OF Hutch
inson on a hunting expedition, and came
back with a Chippewa scalp, but there
was no battle. They just simply spied
a lone Chippewa and nailed him.

new ULM TO HAVE
COMMUNITY MUSIC
OLD TIME SONGS WILL BE BIG
FEATURE AT GATHERING IN
SCHOOL HALL

Community singing, which has been
so popular in Minneapolis and other
cities large and small, this winter, is
to have its inning in New Ulm. The
first gathering for that purpose will be
held at the High School Auditorium
Friday evening, January 26, and it is
expected there will be large audience
and that all will join in siging old time
and popular songs, which will stir the
blood OF the older people, and at the
same time give those Of the younger
generation idea of what singing was 'irl
the days Of real sport.
COMMITTEES Prepares Program
At meeting of the joint committees
OF the Commercial Club and the Current
News Club last Friday night, arrange
ments were madespfor the first event,
and it is hoped and expected that every
person in New Ulm will be on hand, not
only to hear, but let their voices be
heard in the good old-fashoined songs 9
For the first Community Singing
the following old songs will be sung
everyB5dy JOINING il the chorus:
America
The Old Oaken Bucket"
'sHeidernrosleim.'
Die Lorelei.
The Star Spangled Banner.
With three old : fashioned songs in
English and two in German, the. com
mittee members believe they have made
a pretty good beginning. The songs for
the second "sing' will be selected by the
audience present. at the coming meeting.
Miss Louise Peterson, musical di-
rector OF the New Ulm public school,
will have charge OF the chorus.
In Minneapolis the plan of Com
munity Singing has been exceptionally
popular this winter, more than 1000
people, including whole families, have
attended the gatherings, which have
been held in the various school buildings
of that city.
In THESE audiences were 1Ound Stald
old business and professional men,
matronly matrons and life loving youngs-
tiers, all throwing out their chests and
.'whooping up" a lively old song just like
they used to do in the Little Red
School House." when they lived back
on the farm.
There is no reason why New Ulm
people shouldn't take an interest in
these affairs, and at least show their
appreciation OF the work that has been
done by the committees that are now
busy on the project. If they attend the
first gathering they will no doubt be-
comeas interested as have their friends in
the big cities.

JUNIOR PIONEERS
LODGE PLANS MADE
Z COMMITTEE BUSY WORKING ON
Y - 49, -
p PROJECT FOR BUILDING AT
FAIR GROUND.
rs TO BE MEMORIAL TO FIRST
SETTLERS OF NEW ULM AND
BROWN COUNTY.

From present indications it seems fair
to assume that the pioneer lodge which
ITO be erected by the Junior Pioneers as
"a memorial to the first settlers will be-
come reality before many moons wax
and wane. This prediction is based
upon the enthusiastic manner in which
the committee having the project in
charge, has taken hold OF this big job.
Almost Immediately after their ap-
pOintment they met in the CONNER cial
Club rooms for the purpose of dis
cussing the matter and deyising ways
and means to accomplish the object
desired. Architect Chas A. Hers met
with the committee and presented g
rough sketch OF the proposed building
which was adopted with few minor
changes. After some discussion the
committee decided upon a building
1892 feet and high enough to prevent
its having a squatty appearance The
building is to have a pitched roof and
is to be covered with hewn shingles.
There will be chimney, OF course, on the
outside and fire place built of prairie
bonlders. The doors will be on the long
side of the building and provision is
made for four windows, two on each side
Possibly another window will be added
in the rear wall of the building. This
has not hpen definitplV decided llnOn as
yet.

TRI-sTATE BODY HOLDS, VERY
SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE IN
NEW ULM.
PLANS FOR sEMI-MUNICIPAI
CORPORATION OUTLINED BY
OFFICER.

A seml-mumclpal corporation, similar
to the one that constructed the Chicago
drainage canal, is proposed by "A. B.
Kaercher, president Of the Tri-State
Flood Control Association, and was
Endorsed by the delegates at the con-
ference held here Wednesday. This
corporation would have control of the
construction of great reservoirs at the
headWaters Of the Minnesota and Red
Rivers, by which the flood waters of
those streams might be controlled, and
which would do away with the disastrous
floods that yearly and sometimes oftener,
cause great damage all along both those
valleys
Was Representative Body.
There We're some seventy-fve dele
gates present at the conference, which
represented towns along the valleys
from Fargo and Ortonville on the north
and west, to Blakely, Scott county, on
the east. Many prominent engineers.
and others interested were there, IN
Guiding representative OF the Civic and
Commerce Association of Minneapolis.
Many farmers from various sections along
the river bottoms were also at the meet
ing.
IL The conference was called to order
shortly after 10 o'clock at Turner Hall.
Among the prominent figures present
We're former Senator Charles A. johnson
of st. Peter; former Representative John
a. DalzeH Of Morton; F. I. Cliff Of Or

Welcomed by Mayor.
The session was opened by an address
Of welcome by Mayor L. A.. Fritsche,
who was followed by President A. B.
Kaercher Of the Association, who in an
able address outlined the aims, objects
and hopes Of the organization, which
came into existence at Fargo last No
venber.
Mayor Fritsche called attention to the
fact that there were many in.the audience
who could we'll remember when New
Ulm was a river port, when steamers
were tied up at our own docks and
declared that with proper flood control
such could again be the case.
President Kaercher declared that the
object of the organization is to unite all
Of the forces and powers of the three
states OF North and South Dakota and
Minnesota to bring about the develop
ment and control of one OF the greatest
assets of our country, namely, the surplus
water thereof, and to enlist with us the
cooperation of the United States govern
ment in this great work, one of the
principal results Of which will be to help
reclaim and redeem millions of acres of
the most valuable land in che world.
Results Will be Large.
''The benefits which will be derived
from such development and control are
manifold and almost beyond the COM
prehension Of even the most enlightened,

Building To Be Durable

-
The building is to rest on foundation
of stone and mortar and the floor is to be
of concrete. Only certain kinds of
wood are to be used, all wood that rots
easily being faboped. As far as the
committee knows now, there will be no
objection to oak, elm, blackberry, ash and
q butternut.
& The trees from which the logs are to
3 be obtained should not be more than
foot in diameter, so that when trimmed
they will not be more than eight inches
in thickness. The logs will not be
sawed. They are to be trimmed on
one side which is to go on the inside, and
the surface smoothed with broadaxe.
M is the intention to have every family
THAT was here during and prior to the
Indian Massacre pay for one log On
the inside of this log is to be placed the
name of the pioneer with the date of the
arrival here It is hoped in this way
to make the building really an historical
memorial and the committee is to be
commended for their farsightedness in
this regard. ~ ,s~..
Less than 200 logs will be needed and
the committee does not anticipate any
trouble in securing this number. Quite
number Of those who own standing
timber have been interviewed and they
have expressed willingness to furnish
the logs that will be needed.
May Revise Plans
This is in general the plan that has
been mapped out by the committee,
altho they may be forced to revise their
plans as the work progresses. Any
suggestions that any one may have to
offer willy be gratefully received. The
90 seneSers OF the committee are c. A.
Sfolz, Fred Setter, Otto Heymann,
& Herman Held and Henry Bastian.
At a recent meeting OF the executive
committee Mrs. W. G. Alvin, Mrs. L.
G. Bell and Mrs L. B. Krook were ap-
pointed as a committee to prepare a list
of Junior Pioneers who have not Joined
as yet and special efforts Will be made to
get new members. It was also decided
to send out notices to those who are
now carried as members that their annual
dues are now payable. A committee
to take up the ACCESSIBILITY Of having q
reunion OF the Junior Pioneers in August
this year will be appointed soon.

sHAKoPEE ENTITLED TO STATE
PARK IF ANY, DECLARES
4 PFEFFERLE.

There was no battle fought between
the Sioux and Chippewa Indians on
Toqua lake, near GraceMlle, in 1869,
nor anywhere else in Minnesota or the
Northwest, at SO late date as 1861
said Richard Pfefferle, Minnesota
pioneer and Indian fighter for several
years in the early sixties. Il make.
this assertion unqualifiedly, and know
what / am talking about"
Mr.. Pfeferle's remark was the result
Of an item in Twin City paper Of day
OF two previous, to the effect that
committee composed Of State Auditor
J.1A. 0. Preus, Richard A. Costello Of
Graceville, and Secretary Of State Julius
Schmahl, had recommended to the legis-
lature that a state park be established
on the scene Of the alleged battle between
two tribes of these red-skned rivals. .
Last Battle At Shakopee
The last battle between the Sioux
andC hippewas was at theferry crossing the
Minnesota river at Shakopee, in 1885,"
continued Mr.. Pfefferle, and if there
is to be a state park established for any
such purpose it should be at Shakopee.
In 1869 there were no hostile Sioux
in this part of the country" he said.
There were small bands at various posts,
but they were all friendly and most of
them were employed by the United
States government
In fact, if the statement of this
committee recommending a park at
Graceville is true, the monument at
Fort Ridgely, erected by the state, in
comlnemoration of the settlement of the
differences between the Sioux and Chip
iiSs:sasss es1ast5E
Estructed.
Many well informed citizens of the
state, including H. 0. Clark Of Duluth,
believe any way that was the finn
( siest kind of a farce
The last party Of hostile Sioux Indians
to invade this part Of the state was. in
1866, and consisted of thirteen red
skins, led by half-breed named John
Campbell. They came from Canada
and passing down near the North Dako-
ia state line, crossed the various count
ties, until they. struck Brown, passed
thru this county at the west, going in
to Blue Earth county, where they
murdered the Jewett family. The
thirteen departed toward the west,
while Campbell went to >Mankato for
supplies, was recognized, captured and
lynched. His followers were later
caught and killed before they had gone
very far, by Gabriel Renviile "a half
breed, chief OF scouts for the government,
whom all of the old timers remember,
and for whom the county OF Renville
was later named.
Government Builds Forts
I'm 1864 Fort Wadsworth was built
by the government, at what is now
known as Sisseton, S. D; in 1866 another,
Fort Ransom, was Constructed at a
point an the Sheyenne river, now known
as Lisbon, N. D., and in 1867, Fort
Totten was built on the south side of
Devils Lake, in North Dakota. These,
with Forts Smelling and Ridgely, a
string Of forts formed the dividing line
between the two tribes, and there was
scarcely possibility of theif coming
together, and certainly not as late as is
related by this so-called legislative COM
mittee that wants state park establish
ed near Graceville.

cided in favor Of the defendants
and this judgment was affirmed
by the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals at San Francisco.
The McGoldrick company ap-
pealed from this decision to the
Unitd States Supreme Court where
it was again unsuccessful. At
torney R. b. Norris of this city
was one of the attornys in the
case.
This is the same tract Of land
that KinsOlving Sued the Milwau-
kee Lumber company for the pur-
chase price of last summer. He
obtained judgment against the
company for S12OOO.OO and inter
est. The lumber company took an
appeal from this judgment to the
state supreme court in which il
is now pending.

Senator BOrah
Will Retire
DECLARES INTENTION in STATEMENT
Will Leave Senate al the Close Of Ills Present
Term on March 4th, 1919.

Senator Borah has definitely
decided to retire from the United
States Senate at the close of his
present term, March 4, 1919. For
some time it has been rumored
that he did not intend to become
a candidate for reelection but this
is The first authoritive statement
on the subject.
In statement which he gave
out at Washington Tuesday and
which was addressed "To The
pople OF Idaho" he says;
"lt has for some time been my
desire and lis now my purpose
to quit official life at the close
of my term March Z, 1919. Hav-
ing come to this decision |
feel it should for manifest rea-
sons be made known in a public
way TO the people of my state.
Il am deeply grateful to the
people of my state for the honOrs
they have conferred upon me and
can never fully pay the debt of
gratitude l owe them. From the
hour I reached Idaho, inexperi-
need and without means or ac-
quaintances, the people of the
slate have treated me with a
kindness and with a generosity
with which no words of mine can
adequately express my apprecia-
ton. The confidence which they
have repOsed in me and the warm
personal friendship they have
manifested so often regardless Of
party must bind me to them in
bonds of affection for all time.
! shall continue to be as deeply
interested i'm the welfare and pro-
gress and happiness of the peO-
pie of my state, and i'm the growth
and prestige or Idaho, of which l
am very proud, in the future as l
have been in the past. Whatever
may transpire nothing can dimin
ish my sense of gratitude. Off
cial life is not indispensable to the
service of people and / have no
intention Of terpinating my ser
vice with the termination Of my
Office.
Il am not going to discuss my
reasons for retirement. These
reasons will better appear and be
better understood as my plans
and purposes are developed by my
work in the future. Suffice it now
to say that l have no thought OF
ceasing to be interested in those
matters which concern the well
fare and interest of my own state
and her splendid people,

Labor Troubles
Seem Certain
DRIVERS ASK FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY
Small Strike al Nelson & KeSO'S Camps Only
Six Men Ace Involved

That the lumbermen are to
have trouble with their men when
the log drive starts seems to be
indicated by a little incident that
happened a few days ago. Nelson
& KelsO put a small crew of pos
sibly half a dozen men at work
breaking rOllways and getting
their logs ready to drive down the
st. Maries river.
The men worked two or three
days when they all quit work. The
men we're being paid $500 per day
and board. They demanded $500
per day and an eight hour day.
The men had signed a contract.
They stated that the order to
strike came from the Spokane
headquarters of the 1. w. w.
This would indicate that the
men are going to hold out for
five dollars and an eight hour
day. This the operators say they
will not grant. They figure that
the men who have been out Of
work all winter have no money
with which to finance a strike
and will have to yield. The men,
on the other hand, say that the
logs can only be driven when the
water is at flood and that the
operators will have to meet their
demands or they can not get their
logs out this season.
Both the Blackwell Lumber
Company and the Rutledge Tim
Der Company of COeur d'Alene
are shipping a large number of
logs by rail and figure that they
can keep the mills running wheth-
er they get the drive out or not.
Asother thing that is aiding them
is that the Occur d'Alene river
drive, or at least a part of it,
has already been got out. The
Milwaukee Lumber company of
this city and the Milwaukee Land
company of st. Joe, ship most of
their logs by rail and will not be
so much affected.

The forestry department has
been engaged for several years in
reforesting that part Of the coun-
try where the timber was killed
by the big fire of 1919 and will
soon have the entire tract re-
planted. White and yellow pine
are being set out it being the pol
icy to replant so for as possible
with the kind of trees formerly
growing on the land.
The government owns its own
nursery from which the young
trees are procured. This is the
SaVenac nursery, located near
Haugen, Montana, and it is the
largest tree nursery in the world,
having an annual capacity Of four
million trees. All Of the trees
being set out on this reserve are
obtained from there.
The trees that have been set
out previously are all doing we'll
and reforesting is proving to be
a success. 1t will only be a short
time now when all that barren
country where the timber was de-
strOyed will be covered with a
thrift young forest, that is if the
forest fires can be kept out.
