The St. Cloud, Mankato & Austin Rail
road Co. Is being investigated by the Leg
islature Mr.. Foster of Blue Earth coun-
ty, introduced the resolution asking for a
special committee of i've to investigate
the condition of the land grant, franchis-
es and bonds of the Co. During the dis
cusslon of the resolution, J. w. Bishop
of St. Paul, President of the Co., present
ed communication setting forth that the
road has not been completed as yet owing
solely to the stringency of the times and
scarcity of money, that there had been
expended under his supervision $4,000 in
making surveys, ETC., that the actual
building of the road has been delayed
solely for want of ample funds; that un-
der the terms of its charter, this road may
be constructed in 1885, and If completed
by Dec. Is, it earns its grant. and that
it ,oiW be so constructed. Such promise,
in the face of an official investigation,
ought to be worth something. We shall see
if it is. The resolution was adopted, and
the special investigating committee ap-
pointed, consisting of Messrs. Foster,
Haraldson, Myers, Lee and Durant. We
hope this committee will make thorough
work of the investigation. Some hard
things have been said of the original d.
rectory. and if there be any reason for 1t
the public ought to know it. If not, the
directors ought to be exonerated.

THROUGH misunderstanding the Nine

western Dairymen's Association was ap-
pointed to be held at Algona, Iowa, Feb.
18th to Goth. In consequence of the An
nual Convention of the Iowa Association
occurring on the same dates at Strawber-
ry Point, Iowa, the Executive Committee
of the Northwestern Association have de-
cided to postpone the convention to March
10, II, IL and 18th, at Algona. Iowa. The
meetings of this association for the last
three years have been the largest ever held
in the United States by any similar organ
ization. The value of such meetings in
establishing correct ideas, in promoting
valuable knowledge, in stimulating
thought and enhancing the profit of dali
rying. are incalculable. Every farmer who
keeps cows for profit should make an ef-
fort to attend this convention. The rep
resentative dairymen of the Northwest
will be present. The citizens of Algona
will see that full accommodation is &C.
corded to all. Algona is on the Northern
Iowa Division of the G. & N. w. R. R.,
and on the Iowa & Dakota Div of the c.,

Owing to It's position in Washington,
it being the only line mining directly
through the city, the B. + O.'s advan:
tages for the proper and prompt care OF
it's patrons for the Inauguration are
wholly unspproached BY competing lines.
All the passenger traffic OF other lines
from the West must combine with the
traffic from the East, and thus the single
line into the national capital be clogged
B, r, 0, handles its business from the
East wholly independent from its bust
ness from the West, the channels of en-
trance into the city being different, and
for all purposes in view the Baltimore s.
Ohio really has two lines into the capital.

the East.

1t makes a good deal of difference
which road to Washington the visitor to
the Inauguration buys tickets for. He
may make every arrangement to 60 upon
a certain train, and upon arrival at the
depot discovers that his ticket is not good
on that train. He may find more, and
that is, not only full fare will be exacted,
but an extra charge, which must be paid,
or wait for train en- which Inauguration
tickets will be taken. On the B. d y.
there is none of this sort of business.

better than no loaf, when it comes 70
meeting the demands of the public upon
occasions when reduction of rates is in
order. Some other lines evidently 70
upon the contrary principle, and, when
they make reduction of fares, add such
stlpulations as to prove the action one of
compulsion rather than of pleasure. In
other words, the low rate with II en- is
good only upon certain trains. Thus it
comes about that only the B. g. O., Of
