Resides all this the business of the

get so much back pay in lump that
they do not know how to spend it fast

have fortunes at their command, who
merely come TO look and idle away the

ers, and the tradesman and storckeeper
are getting ready to welcome them.

In another column we publish a
letter of w. II. Officer, Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the st.
Cloud, MankatO & Austin railroad, in
answer to the resolutions of inquiry
recently passed by the Board of Trade
of this city. From the letter it appears
that there has not yet been default on
the part of the company, and apparent.
ly reasonable explanations are given of
the delay. 1t is also suggested that
Mankato has made no response to the
request for the local aid, us is also the
case with other towns along the line,
and the company has been compelled to
labor almost wholly without outside en-
enlargement. From private sources
we have the assurance that the road
will be built. Our informant says:
There is q big row between the Mil
waukee and Manitoba companies. Hill
accuses the Milwaukee folks of bad
faith in invading his territory by going
to Fargo by the Fargo Southern. The
result Of oil thia is that 1t is thought
you will get one road sure. and also
tnat Hill will build into Southern Min
nesota to invade the Milwaukee terri
tory" 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the promises made may be realized,
and that Dec. 1884 will witness the
