Dairy Board Of Trade.


Editor Free Press:
When man, or set Of mon, spend
much time or money for public beise.
lit. it is some reward to have the eff
font appreciated, hence 1t Is u little
comforting to our Board Of Trade to
know that st. Peter and LIE Sueur
have recently sent for our constitu
ton and by laws, and that the dairy.
men of Southwestern Minnesota
earnestly desire that we add u dairy
branch to our Board. The Window
Reporter deserves great credit for
urging this Dairy Board project. for
ii such Board can be put into sue.
cessful operation at Mankato ut an
early day, it will nnquestionably be
of immense benefit to Southwestern
Minnesota. 1t will insure better
prices for the present dairy product.
and will be- Il great incentive to i'm.
prove the product, and thus the pro-
fits Of the dairy. Again, such a
Board, with weekly sales, will do
more than all that ever has been done
to advertise this country, and settle
up our vacant lands with the best
class of farmers. Nor will Manlsato
be without special benefit. IL will
bring here from eastern cities IA large
number OF buyers, and we know from
experience that if capitalists can only
see MankatO with her wonderful adj.
vantages, natural and acquired, they
will desire to invest here.
But this Dairy Board project. If
successfully carried out. will be no
child's play. The adoption OF proper
bylaws with u suitable organization
to let in all who may wish to operate
on the Board, will be- easy enough.
But to gain practical knowledge of
the matter, and to put the Dairy
Board into successful operation. will
require persistent, hard work. The
new Board will not spring fully
equipped out of our present Board,
like Minerva from the head of Jupi-
ter. But "perseoerantia omnia pineet.' -
MankatO is the only place in the
State where such a Board can sue.
coed. And it can succeed here only
through the active encouragement and
support of many citizens mot simply
the Directors of the Board of Trade
and of the dairy men, business men
and newspaper press of Southwestern
Minnesota.
The appeal to do this thing with a
promise of cordial support, comes
down to MankatO, from all the vast
dairy county southwest of us. 1t
seems like golden opportunity for
Mankato. The question demanding
no tardy answer is: "Have we the
courage, the perseverance. the abili.
ty to organize and carry this project
into successful operation :" Shall we
undertake it Shall we do it!
NJ. G. WILLARD,
Sec'y Board of Trade.

BISMARCK captures the capital
thunder and Alex. Mckenzie did it
with his little bit of well known stra
tegy, and the handsome bonus offered
by his enterprizing town. The com.
mission met at Fargo Saturday, and
on the ninth ballot. Bismarck scored
a clean majority in its favor for the
location of the territorial capital.
While Bismarck is considerably out
of the geographical center of the
territory, it is nearer the center than
any other town of note, and when "a
division occurs. as it must before
long. it will be just fitted To retain
the capitol for that portion north Of
the 10Th parallel No more satisfac-
tory selection could have been made
for the qualification Of the YanktOn-
ties, who have for some time apprecia-
ted that they were entirely too remote
from the center of the territory to
long retain the distinction of capital
honors, but they will nevertheless
prosecute the quo warrantO suit if
for no other purpose than to bring
ont the influences which effected the
passage Of the removal bill.
