the city before in rebuilds its depot.
1t is very probable that if the matter
was agitated the right of way could
be easily secured, and that at nomi-
nal expense, and not only the road,
but the people would be benefited
thereby. As at present situated it is
very inconvenient not only for the
business interests of the city, but for
large portion of the resident part Of
the city as well. The various roads
coming into the city ought to run into
a union depot, and it looks as if this
was a very opportune time to push
that matter to the front, and if taken
hold of in the right spirit we believe
something might be accomplished in
this direction. At least it would do
no harm to try. A public meeting Of
business men and citizens to agitate
the matter would be a most apprOpri-
ate thing.

Blue Earth county with its diver
sified farming lands, with it's timber,
water, building material, with it's
numerous markets and other advant-
ages too numerous to specify, is GER
tainly the banner county of the state.
A forty-acre farm of our soil with the
surrounding advantages, is more valu-
able than a ha.f section of land on the
western prairies, where fuel is scarce
and markets are distant. The Blue
Earth county farmer is fortunate. If
any one can make money out of farm
ing he certainly should. His chances
are manifold compared with his
brother farmers of the. prairie region.
We know of cases where young, en-
ergetic, businesslike young men have
secured themselves a handsome farm
by going in debt for the land in this
