Our neighbours 1t New U.m are very
greatly rejoiced over the prospect Of anoth
err railroad to their city. Negotiations with
the Sioux City Railway Company, which
had been pen ing for some time, has as
sumed the form OF proposition from the
Company to tuild from Axnkato to New
U'm during the present year, provided.
certain conditions are complied with by
the cities OF Msnksto, New Ulm aud inter-
mediate Townships. The conditions are
regarded ss very reasonable and the people
Of New U i'm do not seem to have doubt
but that they will be fully and freely COM
piled with. The amounts asked are $685.
600 from New Ulm, g.. 900 from Msnk~to
and $4,000 from other points. In Case
the city o! Manksto does not comply, the
proposition is TO build from Lake Crystal, a
shorter distance. We cannot conceive OF
Msnkato failing to secure = road up the
Minnesota NsIl2y when the opportunity
Offers on easy terms. ltwould he very un-
like the energetic and wide-awake action
which has always characterized her citi-
Gems. Ii the proposed road is not built it
will be the fault, not the misfortune, of the
people who would lie benefited by it,
The County Board, at it's meeting this
week, provided Tor the fencing Of Court
House square aud the improvement OF the
grounds The fence will be plain one.
We think that the County appropriation
should be supplemented by the citizens
and \ handsome fence built, shade and
ornamental trees PLANTED aud whatever
else done that would tend to beauti,y the
grounds. The square can he made very
beautiful aud We b-iieve that our citizens
are more than willing to provide the neces-
sary means. We suggest that some concert
CT action be had in the matter so that the
work done by the County and that done
by the people may harlnonize.
