HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Clint and Bessie Robbins, whose
company are at the Turner Theatre next
week, are probably the best known
theatre people in this part of the north
west. Mr.. and Mrs. Robbins have more
personal friends in South Dakota, the
kind Of folks that say 6 Hello'' to them
and invite them over to supper, than
any other couple we know Of. We were
struck with this fact last winter at Pierre
during the session Of legislature, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Robbins were in town,
and we saw people from all over the
state chatting with them at the hotel. "a
banker from the Western part of the
state said to us, Il lave known them
for years, and they are the finest kind
Of people either in the theatre or out
of it. In fact they have done great
deal toward the elevation Of the theatre
business and the standard Of plays in
this section during the years that they
have been in the business. = adlight,

CONTRACT AWARDED
TO SILAS JACOBSON
ST. PAUL ARCHITECT TO DRAW
PLANS FOR NEW ELECTRIC
POWER PLANT.
CITY COUNCIL IN FAVOR OF
APPOINTING CHAS. HERS
SUPERINTENDENT

At a special meeting held last Saturday
evening, the New Ulm city council de-
cided unanimously to award the contract
to draw plans and specifications for the
proposed new municipal power house
in North German park to Silas Jacobson,
St. Paul architect, who some time ago
drew the plans and specifications for a
similar plant at Fairmont. Knowing
the Importance of the step to be taken
the city fathers again discussed the
question thoroughly. Mayor Eibner,
City Attorney Dempsey and Superin-
tendent. Mueller taking part in the de-
alterations. All present were agreed
that "service" should be made the
prime consideration in the matter. They
were equally convinced that New Ulm
has two capable architects who could be
entrusted with architectural work of
almost any kind but that they lacked
experience in the drawing of plans and
specifications for an electric light and
power plant with all its difficult details.
1t was admitted that their offer was
lower than that of Mr.. Jacobson, but it
was thought that this seeming financial
loss to the city would be more than
offset by a larger degree of reliability
in the work of the architect, which would
give the city better service now and save
it from possible alterations that might
become necessary in the future. >5%
Hers Superintendent?
1t was suggested by several council
men to appoint Chas. Hers of this
city as supervisor. This question was
referred to the regular monthly meeting
which was held Tuesday evening Architect
Jacobson was invited to be present at
this meeting to sign the contract and
receive further instructions regarding
the building. The exact size of the
structure has not been definitely decided
on.
Other propositions were submitted by
Croft Il Boerner, architects, Mime
apolis and Duluth, and Mr.. Plagens Of
this city.
Books Audited. .s:
The auditing of the city's books will
be done by H. Hartmann, expert account
ant of Milwaukee, Wis, according to a
decision by the council. MIR. Hartmann
has done this work for the city for sew
eral years.

LAMBBRT0N TEAMS /.
BEST E! BY LOCALS
BOYS BASKET BALL PLAYERS
BEAT VISITORS WITH 81 1
TO 8 SCORE.
GIRLS ARE VICTORS IN GAME
WITH 80 TO 9 POINTS
AT FINISH.

Both the boys and girls basket ball
teams Of the New Ulm high school scored
decisive victory over the respective
players of the Lamberton high school
at the local high school gym" Friday
evening in two games, which, although
considerably >one-sided, were none the
less very interesting. All four teams
played good basket ball, but somehow
the New Ulmites proved their superiority
over their adversaries, and many pretty
and clever plays were staged. The
score at the close of the boys contest
was 81 to 8, in favor Of New Ulm, while
our basket ball lassies bested the Lam
berton girls with a score Of 80 to 8.
Gymnasium Was Packed:
A large delegation of Lamberton en-
thusiasts accompanied their teams to
New Ulm in a vain effort to cheer them
on to victory, and a goodly number
of local fans were present, so that every
available seat in the gym" was taken.
There was friendly rivalry between the
supporters Of the contesting teams dur
ing both games and the mills were great
ly enjoyed by all present.
/, District Cham pionship.
The local boys basket ball team vii
meet it's ancient and mostly always
victorious enemy, Sleepy Eye, at the
high school gym" there on Friday
evening of this week. This game will
decide, whether New Ulm will have an
opportunity to try for the district champ
ionship or not. Sleepy Eye defeated
our boys on the local floor, January 8,
and the contest Friday evening is to be
a return game. If we win, which will
no doubt happen, if the boys play as
good as they did in the mill with the
tLamberton youngsters, then the local
high school boys will meet Sleepy Eye
on a neutral floor, to decide the champ
ionship Of this district. If we don't
win well, let's not get pessimistic!
Here's hoping our lads will trim up
Sleepy Eye ITO the queens taste,s''
Friday evening and also prove successful
il the contests for the district and
state champ ionship! A big delegation
lot rooters should accompany them to
Sleepy Eye.

LARGE DAMAGE IS
DONE TO MATERIAL
FIRE IN BASEMENT OF GAS.
BUILDING CAUSES LOSS
OF $4,000.
JOHNSON & CO., OVERALL MA
NUFACTURERs, OWNERS
OF BUILDING.
JOHNSON & CO., OVERALL MA.

A large amount of goods belonging to
the overall factoryfof Johnson & Com
pany was destroyed or partly ruined y
fire last Wednesday evening, January
28. The alarm was turned in about
9 o'clock by Anton Bartl. He and
several others noticed the smoke issuing
from the building, recently purchased
by johnson & Company from Mrs.
Frank Burg. W. S. Cockroft, as istant
engineer in the office of F. d. Minimum,
city engineer, told C. R. Hennick, man
ager of the New Ulm Gas Company,
about the fire and the latter hurried to
the scene opening the doors Of the build
ing SO the fre-men would not have to
break in by force.
Located in Basement.
The origin Of the blaze was soon
located in the rear of the basement
where large number Of cut overalls
were piled up awaiting sewing and finish
ing in the factory. which is located on the
second floor. The fremen soon after
their arrival entered the basement from
two sides one party going by the door
in the rear and the other by the coal
hole. Their work which lasted about an
hour and Is minutes was Avery muc
hampered. by the dense smoke envelop-
ing the whole building. Flames could
not be seen from the outside, but it was
only for the quick and effective work OF
the fire boys that the blaze did not spread
through the whole building As it is
the flames burned through the first floor
entering the work room Of the Gas Com
pany in the rear of the building and shot
up through the shaft of the elevator
leading to. the second floor where the
overall factory is located. The fact that
the door to the upper work room was
closed was partly responsible for the
checking of the fire saving the machines
and part of the stock from serious
damage.
Loss Placed at About SIS 900.
O. Kemp, part owner and local manag-
er of the overall factory, placed the loss
to his company at about $4,000, but
later estimates reduced this to about
$4,000 to $4,000 The loss to the
Gas Company is about 81, 500, accor Ling
to an estimate by Mr.. Hennick. The
conditions in the office of the Gas Com
pany were such that Mr.. Hennick de
cided to remove it to some other location
for the present. TheJ are now located
in rear room of the Brown County
Bank building. The loss OF the Gas
Company is entirely cow red by insur--
ance. The overall factory was less
fortunate the insurance carried on the
