FAMOUS N. u. HOTEL
NOW IN NEW HANDS

The Dakota house of New Ulm,
Minnesota's oldest hotel in point of
continuous service, has changed
hands, and is now under the manage
ment of the former owners. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred w. Johnson, sons.
The Dakota house was established
by the late Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph
Setter, ST., parents of Mrs. Johnson,
in 1859, and has since been conducted
continuously by members Of the
Setter family. Mr.. and Mrs. john
son took charge of the hotel in 1901,
and have been hosts of the hotel
since that time.
When the Indians attacked New
Ulm in the fall of 1862, the hotel,
one of the towns substantial build
ings, was transformed into hospital
to provide facilities for caring for
the wounded defenders and townspeo-
pie.
Every one of the 81 governors OF
Minnesota, from General Henry H.
Sibley, first in line, to Governor
Theodore Christensen, present in
cumbent, have, at one time or an
other, been guests at the Dakota
house.
The first religious services ever
held in New Ulm were conducted in
the lobby of that famous hostelry.

ROADS GOOD, BAD,
ALL IN ONE DAY

The Minnesota Highway depart
meme during the past month has re-
ceived large number of conflicting
reports about road conditions. Such
reports come every summer as well
as in other times of the year, but the
number this years seems to be great
er than usual. Very often the same
mail will bring one letter compli-
menting the department on a certain
stretch of highway, and another find
ing serious fault with the condition
of that road.
"Some allowance must be made for
different ideas as to what constitutes
a good road" said Commissioner C.
M. Babcock concerning these letters.
Every often, however, two conflicting
opinions about a road may both be
true. have myself been over
many roads which were smooth as
the best pavement, and compliment
ed the maintenance man on the ex-
cellent work he has done. Coming
over the same road few hours later,
especially if it happened to be Satur-
day night or Sunday, l have often
found the surface a veritable wash
board.
Gravel roads all have their limit
atoms, but it is more difficult to
maintain them in extremes of wet or
dry weather. Gravel roads are cas-
lest to maintain when there are
frequent light showers, with sun
shine in between. A moderate
amount of moisture blinds the gray
ell together, and the traffic following
the maintenance machine quickly
compacts the surface material into a
smooth, hard road. In prolonged
periods of dry weather, however, the
surface material is ground up Sc
that on the routes carrying the
heaviest traffic there may be several
inches of dust and sand. Under GER
tain conditions this loose material
may pack in ridges, causing the so.
called washboards' or Chatter
bumps
Riding over a bad washboard is
anything but pleasant. A trip with
the blade grader will take these a.
way, and leave the surface perfectly
smooth, but there is no way to make
the material stay put when one or
two thousand vehicles pass over the
road in the course of the day. We
are paving and oiling as many roads
as funds permit, but traffic seems to
be growing faster than we can build
roads,"
Some indication of traffic growth
is given by the fact that 24,977,000
ore gallons of gasoline were receiv-
ed in Minnesota the first six months
of 1880 than in the same months in
1929. If the average vehicle made
only II miles to the gallon, this
means 3OO,OOO,OOO more car-miles in
six months in 1880 than in the same
six months in 1929. Assuming that
half of this travel was on the trunk
highways, this meant an extra burd-
en- of 81 ,429 vehicles on each mile in
the trunk highway system, or an in
crease of 119 vehicles per day in 1880
over 1929.

Catch Prize Game
Fish in Lake Redwood

Lake Redwood has not only offered
plenty of sport at it's bathing beach
this summer but has attained some
what of name as home of game
fish. Sunday w. j. Hager caught five
bass with the largest weighing six
and quarter pounds and in the af-
ternoon of the same day Charles
Dittbenner caught a wall-eyed pike
of exactly the same weight. H. ID.
Thorpe also caught pike weighing
three pounds the week previous while
other fine catches of game fish have
been made during the summer.

PLENTY OF WATER IN NEW
CITY WELL AT SPRINGFIELD

Two and and half days pumping
have convinced the city council of
Springfield that the new city well is
capable of supplying the necessary
amount of water and the council is
advertising for bids on a new pump
to be purchased soon. The we'll was
tested by pumping 80 gallons a
minute, which is much greater cap
acity than the we'll will ever be
pumped to supply city needs.

TWENTY CARS WRECKED;
ESTIMATED DAMAGE, $4,000

A bad wreck occurred on the NJ. &
St. L. railroad at Kilkenny, recently,
when the north bound freight train
was derailed. Twenty cars left the
tracks, including five steel cars of
gaslonie and three steel tanks Of road
oil. Leaking oil made the rescue
work dangerous. One man was in
jured and lost an arm in the crash,
but the train crew escaped injury.
The damage loss was estimated at
$4,000.

Not cnly will Central elect no grid

Harry Krauss Is nobody'S Slouch.
Neither is his old-time partner-Ray
Chaplin Of Columbia. Arthur Urban,
the Rock Creek golfer, is no tyro either
as golfer or as bowler.
Then there are lot of golfing bowl
ers on the public links who might cause
some damage in such a contest. I think
the team of Krauss and Chaplin would
do pretty well In doubles, and II Harry
Krauss took 1t seriously he would be
my choice for the individual champion

Clelland, j. G. Putnam and q lot of

to me that bowling league organized
among the golf clubs around the city
would be good stunt. It certainly
would be good way to get acquainted

Murphy said the same thing.

that a duckpin league be formed among

the well known SHOEMAKER from Manor,
who in addition to his skill on the golf
courses, is quite toppler Of duckpins.
Indeed. his friend, j. B. Murphy, claims
that Harry would go pretty far in a
duckpin golfers tournament.
Harry Is all for the formation of

Manor could put fairly good team in
such league, in fact couple of them,

END OF DRAFT WAR
L|KELY=AT SESSION
Big Leagues Also to Talk
Over Chain Store Plan
and Lively Ball.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, December g.
IN Base balls leaders gath
cred in New York today for
the annual midwinter
meetings of the National and
American Leagues. The selective
draft, chain store base ball and
the lively ball threatened to cause
the most discussion.
Although formal sessions of the two
leagues begin tomorrow, two important
conferences were on today'S program. One
Of them was to bring together representa-
tives of major league clubs and COM
mittee from the minors for a discussion
Of the draft dispute. The other was
meeting of American League managers
called by the league president, Ernest
Barnard, to hear suggestions that might
be of benefit to the league as a whole.
There was distinct. feeling among
base ball men in general that the
majors and the I'VE non-draft leagues
would reach a compromise some time
this week.
Want Universal Draft.
The majors want the five non-draft
leagues to accept the universal draft
that is, they want to be able to Select"
any player from these circuits-the In
ternational, Pacific Coast, American AS
Sociation, Western and Three-Eye
Leagues-at a fixed price, just as they
do from other minor league clubs. This
principle the minors are ready to ac-
cept. it is stated, provided the two
groups can agree on terms.
Pending settlement Of the dispute the
majors on December severed all busi-
ness dealings with the five affected
leagues.
The lively ball has split the major
league owners and managers into three
distinct camps, and all three probably
will have lots to say before the meet
ings come to an end. In one group are
those who favor the ball as it is; an
other includes those who would deaden
the ball to end the home-run epidemic;
still another would keep the ball as it
is, but end "pop-hy home runs" by lin
tting hits into certain sectors to two or
three bases where they now go for home
runs.
Fight Chain Store Plan.
The chain-store system of base ball
ownership came in for only desultory
vention in Montreal last week, but
there seemed to be q suspicion in some
Quarters that Kenesaw NJ. Lands, high
commissioner of base ball. was prepared
to deliver another blast against 1t some
time during the week.
If he should. proponents Of the sys-
tenn might find a worthy advocate in
Branch Hickey, vice president and busi-
ness manager Of the St. Louis Cardinals,
who operate the largest chain of clubs
In base ball. Hickey made two fiery
speeches at the Minor League Conven-
ton in support of this phase OF major
league policies. ..,
The National League viii hold its
annual meeting tomorrow and the
American on wednesday. joint ses-
sion Of the two leagues will be held
Thursday.
