mas entertainment was being held in the

OUR BUILDING REVIEW.

The compilation of the new buildings
put up and the improvements made
during the past year, which appears in
another column to-day, speaks for itself.
1t is needless to say the figures are such
as confirm the stability which has been
claimed for Mankato. During pro-
verbally dull year the city has pros
pered and progressed in degree thor
oughly satisfactory, and it is with conf
dence in its immediate future growth
that entrance is made into the new year
of 1889.

In great many of the country news
papers among which General Washburn
has got in his work so eiiectually, have
recently been noticed the most lauda-
tory praises of that gentleman's work in
building the celebrated 500 railroad "for
the especial grandeur, glory and wealth"
of the State. This sounds pretty well.
but the granger readers of the country
papers in which examples of Gen. Wash
burns railroad operations for the
grandeur glory and wealth. of the
State have been given, are not entirely
satisfied in their own minds that there
is not something hidden in all this which
does not appear on the surface. Some
have been evil enough to suspect that
Gen. Washburn, having done so much
for the State, now wants to 60 the U. s.
Senate for an opportunity to serve his
own interests and possibly those of his
new road-and thereby indirectly add
still more to the grandeur, glory and
wealth" of the State.
pus "o icsh thS uhSoPhiotiSat0o siahS-
er hasn't touched the bottom yet. In
the report of the State Railroad Com
mission; now in the printers hands, we
find the following official statement
made by the president of the 500 road
as giving the total cost and equipment
of the road. 1t is worthy of close study
by those who have been accusing Gen.
Washburn and his associates of being so
unselfish as to moi properly look after
their own interests:

part of the cost of the road. A full explana-
ton of this will be found in the Annual Re
port of the Commissioner, now being printed.
Here We have the total cost of the 7S7
miles of road given as S37 100000. We
also see a mysterious item of $l7 ,000, 600
charged to the construction account as
interest and discount. This represents
income certificates to that amount taken
by w. d. Washburn & Co., at a trifie
over Is cents on the dollar, so that in re-
ality the road only cost the stockholders
$50, 900, 600, whereas to the farmers and
others who of necessity have to patron
ize it the line cost SIS ,000,0 600, which APP
pears to have stuck in the pockets of the
firm which has had so much of the

ton of the construction account the
stockholders expect to be able to levy
tolls sufficient to pay 6 per cent. on not
only the real cost of the road ($22, 600, :

ly bought certificates, which will bring
a comfortable 100000 annually out OF

to glorify the name of the millionaire
who wants to ornament a seat IN the U.

fine strip of country lying between
Austin and Round Rock, some farmers in
that section having challenged your pub

The following will be found true and
faiTfT'ul report of the before-named
district:
Oats are very generally raised, but only
in small patches, and threshing is all but
completed. The harvest has been much
better than at one time anticipated but
is far below the average, owing to the long
continued rains in June. careful esti
mate places the oat crop at twenty-eight
bushels to the acre, and the average
quality inferior.
A few notable exceptionf can be made
in the cases of Mr.. G. Walling, Mr.. Patton,
Mr.. Caswell, Colonel Tom Robb, and Cap
tain Edgar, who all made from forty i've
to fifty bushels to the acre of fiHe quality.
The latter gentleman is fairly entitled to

his quartette of singers, will furnish the
music. general good time and big
revival is hoped for.
Mrs. Julia Hoffman, of New Orleans,
who has been visiting her father, Mr..

be accompanied by the charming and

pleasing to this newspaper man.
