Pioneer Surveyor
Almost Forgotten

New Ulm-Buried in an un-
marked grave in the city GENET
cry at New Ulm is a man who
deserves a place among New
Ulm's pioneers. But only a few
residents of that city remember
the name, Christian Prignitz, or
associate it with the plat which
has been the guide for the city's
orderly growth during three
quarters of a century.
It was in 1853 that the surveyor
drew a plat of the site of nearly
5000 acres in the midst of 'front.'
Ter wilderness. A few years lat
er he made few additions in the
river bottom area and that plat
remains unchanged to this day, IS
years after it was drawn. He had
dreamed of big future for the
city of New Ulm and made his
plans so the city would provide
place for 100000 people.
The plat of New Ulm is said to
be one of two in the United States
which provided adequate for a
city's continued growth over a
long period. The other city so
planned is in New York state.
The stone which marked the
mans grave has long ago disap-
peared and only very few re-
member the location.

Everybody's Health

September is always the neak
month for infantile paralysis: and
while there were more cases of
the disease in August this wear
IMAM there were last, there is no
reason, as yet, to fear a major in
1antlle paralysis or polio epi-
demic in Minnesota. This is the
opinion of the committee on pub
lie health education of the Mime
sofa State Medical association.
Forty-three cases have been re-
ported so far in the state. They
are scattered cases for the most
part, according to the most re-
cent figures available from the
state board of health, with the
exception of one community in
west central Minnesota. Here
there seems to be a slight con-
centratlon of cases and health
authorities and doctors are
watching this community because
OF the possibility of the develop
ment of an epidemic center such
as developed in 1880 and 1881 in
southwestern Minnesota.
No cause for special alarm was
seen, as yet, by the authorities. In
st. Paul only two cases have been
reported; in Minneapolis 10 and
in Duluth 1.
1t was suggested to parents by
the doctors that they watch any
illness of any kind that may de-
velop during the fall season and
report it Immediately so that the
child may have prompt treatment
IN case the illness should by any
chance be polio. The same watch
fulness should be exercised every
year in late summer and early
fall. They also urge the parents
to protect their children from
contact with illness of any kind
and to keep them, as much as
possible, out of crowds.

Preston-The largest check is

rattlesnake bounty was received
last week by members of the Fill
more county barberry project who
killed &c rattlers. An experience
which the men had would indicate
rattlesnakes are more plentiful in

over the entire county. While
working on the barberry project
in Blackhammer township, Hous-
ton county, the men suddenly
found themselves in a rattlesnake

More Than Mere Coincidence. 2

You and Others who pay the freight
bills that provide your railway transpor-
tation, paid the Great Northern Railway
an average of little more than one cent
for every ton of freight hauled one mile.
during the year 1882.
That, of course, was five years ago.
This year it will be only about 4/5fhs
of Gel.
You arc likely to wonder how 1t hap
pens that the Great Northern's average
revenue for hauling ton Of freight one
mile has dropped off onc-hfth, particu-
larly If you happen to be one Of those
who have not observed any reduction in
your freight rates.
The explanation Is simple;
There has been big increase In ship
meats Of low-valuc commodities (hcavy
and bulky. which arc hauled at rela-
lively low ratcs-
There has not been q corresponding
increase in shipments of the higher value
commodities Fighter and less bulky,
which are hauled at relatively higher rates
Much of this revenue has been lost to
other forms of transportation, which arc
favored by important advantages in tar.
alton, legislation, regulation, and, more
important still, are favored by both direct
and hidden subsidies.
To meet this unequal competition we
have been obliged to lower many Of
our rates.
