1t is claimed that S. S. Merrill and
J. J. Hill have purchased the fran
chises of the st. Cloud, Mankato and

This is certainly cheap enough. The
question now arises, when will the
road be built? and where ST. Peter
Tribune.
French trade returns for the first
seven months of 1888 show the value
of imports increased $4,000, 600 francs,
compared with the same period of last
year. Exports decreased $4,000, 0OO
francs. The increase in the value of
imports was due to the demand for
foreign raw material. The decrease
in exports was in manufactured goods.
Chickens are unusually numerous
this season and now not a day passes
but what numbers of teams with hum
tiers can be seen vending their way
from town to wage war against this
feathered tribe. Some of course have
mo lucku but most of the hunters re-
turn heavy laden. The chickens are
well developed and are in good demand
for table use.
The great and continued growth OF
railroad business at this point, de-
mands a much larger depot to accom-
modate it than now exists. If the To-
cal freight was upon its arrival all
placed in the depot, the roof would
need to be raised at least another
story to let in !: but as this is never
attempted it remains in the cars on
the side track subject to the Inspection
Of the tramp, who sometimes-has the
curiosity to tap the door and help
himself. The patronage demands a
larger, better and more becoming de-
pot than we now have.
