TWO BRIDGES UNDER WATER
FOR SEVERAL DAYS
ICE DYNAMITED

Last Thursday, the water OF the
Cottonwood river began to rise, slowly
at first, but inside Of twenty four hours
it was way over the banks and flooded
the whole neighboring district. The
ice started moving and was carried
over onto the surrounding fields.
The rise of the river continued until
last Saturday. On that day it still
rose about inches but after that 1t
became stationary for some time and
on Sunday afternoon it slowly began
to fall until on Monday the water
was mostly back in it's bed again, leaving
much ice on the roads and fields.
Minnesota Rises Too
At it's greatest height on Saturday
the Cottonwood river came within
a foot from the top of the Cottonwood
bridge leading to the Poor Farm. The
bridge did not get entirely under water
SO that it could have been used If the
roads had permitted an approach.
As in former years, this heavy onrush
of waters from the Cottonwood river
into the. Minnesota river had the effect
of a barrier or dam in the larger river,
and forcing tito rise even faster and
higher than the Cottonwood river.
Thus the whole area between the
junction of the two rivers and the
NJ. & ST railroad bridge was one nice
big lake on Saturday and Sunday
when many people Of New Ulm enjoyed
the fine sunshine in the, open and took
a walk down to the river to witness sass
the unusual spectacle. Is, .5 g
Bridges Under Water
The crossing Of The river was hens e
possible over the Middle bridge while ila
the two54other bridges, the Beussnaalin
and the CourtIand bridges were under
water Heavy ice floes moved slowly
down the river and piled UP high at
the dam near the Bentzin mill, leaving
only a small outlet for the fast gathering
water
This made the blowing up of the
ice dam imperative. Street Commiss-
Toner Herman Schemann started IN
with this work on Saturday and by
Sunday the water and ice moved faster
causing considerable fall on that
day and on Monday.

JOINT COMMITTEE DISCUSSED
HOUSING PROBLEM AND
ENTERTAINMENTS

The program for the coming state
labor convention which will be held
next July in New Ulm was roughly out
lined at meeting of the central body OF
the New Ulm branch of the Federation
Of Laboer and of tn Commercial CLUB
Friday evening. Only a, few members
did not attend and among those present
the feeling prevailed that everything
should be done by New Ulm and its
citizens to give the labor delegates a
rousing welcome and make Their STAY
in the city as pleasant as possible. This
it is realized, can be achieved only By
starting early to get everything ready and
to interest the general public.
Special Tain For Delegates.
Some Of the questions discussed at
the committee meeting weer thosein re-
gard to the entertainment, reception and
housing of the 500 delegates expected
to attend. 1t is to be expected that some
Of the delegates will be in the city on
Sunday, especially those who belong tothe
the important committees to take the
necessary steps in preparing for the bust
ness sessions of the convention The
great bulk of the attendance is not ex-
pected to arrive before Monday when a
special train on one of the two roads will
be arranged for The time and route
of this train will be decided by the state
officers of the federation since they
know best when the delegates should all
be in town to be able to be present
the first meeting.
Entertainments
Among the entertainments so far de-
scided upon are an auto ride for the
attending delegates, given by the city
of New Ulm. This is to take place
Monday afternoon at o'clock. In the
evening of the same day "a public re-
ception is to be held in one OF the halls
Of the city, the mayor delivering the
principal speech OF welcome The hall
to be used for this gathering will be de-
cided on later. Some of the members
preferred the Armory, while others were
in favor of Turner Hall.
Parade On Tuesday.
If present plans are to be carried out
there will be a parade of labor members
Tuesday evening followed by "a concert
in Turner park. Arrangements will be
made that both local bands participate
/ in this concert.
The big feature OF Wednesday Of con-
yention week will be dance, probably
at the Armory, for the outside guests
and their friends.
Housing Problem.
! The housing of the several hundred.
/ delegates from outside also was briefly
touched upon. It was left to the COM
1 mittee in charge first to find out what
1 the capacity Of the local hotels is. After
the full recovery of Mr.. Pfefferle, chair
man Of the housing committee, this com
mittee will have another meeting in
which report will be made on the hotel
question and then the room facilities ID
private homes will be considered.
There can be no doubt that even at
this early date nothing is left undone
by the committee members to make the
delegates during the labor convention
days feel at home in New Ulm and to hele
them in every way possible to derive tbs.

STOP JAY WALKING

While talking of jay driving and
taking precautions to prevent it,
wouldn't it be an excellent idea to
devote some attention to jay walking,
an evil prevalent in Columbia.
Columbia's sidewalks are as wide
as those of the ordinary city and yet
they are not wide enough to accom-
modate the pedestrian traffic. For the
most part, the blame for this may be
nlaced at the door of the University
students.
University students, as rule, walk
in groups. When they meet someone
on the street the majority of them
make no effort to get out of the way
and give their share of the sidewalk.
The passer-by is often forced to step
from the walk in order to pass such
groups. This is probably the result
of thoughtlessness, as few students
are so selfish.
Nevertheless, whatever the cause,
the evil does exist and the practice
should be stopped. 1t shows lack of
courtesy.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

AMERICAN BOLSHEyISM


The disturbances in Boston are
scarcely credit to the municipality

ton. With the strike of the city's po-
lice force, veritable reign of terror
broke forth and state troops have
been called upon to quell the riots
Downtown shops and stores have been
looted. several persons killed; and all
the lawlessness of the country seems
to have drifted to this one center-the

Without being pessimistic, it is well
for many Americans to realize that
our nation is not immune from those
Bolshevist tendencies that have racked
Russia and made all Europe tremble
Mob spirit is the same the world over

and matters reach a crisis almost in
the twinkling of an eye.
This nation should take new ant

Boston disturbances should serve as
warning of the result of loose think.

of inadequate facilities to house them.
1t is estimated that this year alone
Columbia will lose quarter million
dollars because of this.
Figuring on the basis of that num-
ber being denied admittance each year
the amount of money lost to Columbia
would soon amount into the millions
of dollars. But with a larger college,
with better facilities and more teach
ers, the number of girls coming each
year will not only double but soon
triple, and, as a consequence each
year will bring more money than the
year preceding.

MINERS REFUSE TO
SUPPORT LEAGUE
Effort to Indorse Ratification
Fails at Convention.

CLEVELAND, Sept 1s.-Efforts to enroll
the half million members of the United
Mine Workers OF America as supporters
Of the League OF Nations and advocates
of immediate ratification OF the peace
treaty without amendment failed to-day
when the miners convention rejected a
resolution to that effect introduced by
Secretary-Treasurer William Green, one
of the signers of the manifesto of 100
In favor of the league presented last
week to Congress and supported by the
organization leaders In the convention
Advocates of amendment and .feserva-
-tion to clarity or limit the functions OF
the league were numerous. A strongly
anti-British and anti-Japanese feeling
was evident among the delegates, and
the Socialist and radical wing of the
convention threw its strength against
the resolution.
Encouraged by this victory the out
and out opponents OF the treaty intro
duced a substitute resolution to place
the convention on record against the
league as now constituted. but this too
was voted down and the subject matter
tabled on the argument that the issue
was political one. on which freedom
Of judgment should be left to members
Of the organization.

IDe meeting, Wnlcn was nelQ Do
hind closed doors, was called for the
purpose of completing final arrange
ments for carrying on the strike. Mr..

ence called for October 6 In Washing
ton by President Wilson.
1t was stated this evening by w. q.

ganizing committee, that the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor would be
asked to lend financial and moral
support of its full membership Of 116
unions, embracing all classes Of In
dustry in the country, and a veiled
threat was made that a sympathetic
strike will be called, tying up every
branch of industry now represented
in the American Federation of Labor.
Says A. r. of L. Must Row.
Up until to-day's conference came
to an end there was a persistent
rHmor that Samuel Gompers would
say 'the last word" on the ques-
ton of pOstponing the strike. Ques-
toned on this subject, Chairman Fltz-
patrick finally blurted out:
For the last time I want to tell
You that the American Federation
must bow to this committees edict

Any Intervention by Mr.. Gompers
would be merely Of suggestive or
advisory nature. The committee that
Is meeting here is in supreme COM
mand, and its orders will be obeyed

tion Of Labor included.
Employees of iron and steel plants
In every part of the United States
where vote was taken voted almost
unanimously for q strike. The call,
which has gone out for September %,

of the iron and steel workers of tho

peat that unless Gary offers the olive
