THE PROPOSED OMAHA RIGHT OF
WAY.

superintendent Spencer has re-
ceived the plans and elevations of the
proposed new route of the Omaha
road through the city, and has left
them at Jno. G. Noes office, where
they can be inspected. The right of
way is to be thirty feet wide, with the
right to construct the slopes of the
entertainments and the cuts outside of
the thirty feet. Three parallel tracks
are to run through the city, COM
mencing just north of the Chicago &
Northwestern depot and skirting the
river bank to d street, in Cummings
addition, thence turning and going
southwesterly nearly to the Blue
Earth river, where the present road is
Joined and the present bridge made
use of.
More specifically the road will use
Q. & n. w. tracks as far as the block
just south os Plum street, and will
then branch off toward the river and
run just outside of the Northwestern
and Milwaukee tracks, passing the
corner OF the Milwaukee round house.
Block 156 is crossed near the rear of
the westerly lots, and blocks s. 9, 10.
4 5, 6 and 7, Cummings addition, are
crossed somewhat diagonally. Min
nesota street is crossed at the inter-
section of G street, e street is crossed
at the alley, and the right of way
leaves Cummings addition at the
southwest corner. In Hubbell's adj
dition, block and the corner of block
3 are crossed. The tracks then cross
block 1913, and West Fourth street at
the corner of Sibley. From there the
road will run in nearly direct line to
the approach to the Blue Earth river
bridge. West Front street is crossed
between LeSueur and Sibley streets,
which is near Swanson's store.
Blocks 161, 10, 176 and 1873, West
Mankato, are crossed.
The plan of the elevations indicates
a considerable cut through West
MankatO. From West Fifth street
the fill will extend northward. grow
ing gradually less as itapproache the
bridge. At Blue Earth street the
cut will be about fourteen feet, and
at LeSueur and w. Sixth streets
about seventeen feet. Where the
track will cross the street car track a
fill of 1882 inches occurs, and the
street cars..will pass under the rail-
road track.
The right of way runs along no
streets or alleys, but is exclusively
across private property, except over
the necessary street crossings and al
legs The city could not be asked to
give less, and that any possible objec-
tion should occur seems impossible.
The proposed route runs close to the
Minnesota river good part of the
way, and keeps well out of the way of
the residence and business portions of
the city.

ANNIVERSARY CEREMONIES.

Mankato Lodge No. Is, l. 0. o. F.,

the lodge rooms Monday night. The
families of the members were present
and this made the occasion all the
more enjoyable. From 600 to $50
O'Clock very excellent supper was
spread upon the tables of the dining
room. After this had received due
attention, the following musical pro-
gram was carried out:
Song-Musser's quartette.
Solo-Miss Ellis.
Prayer-Rev. I. Bergstrom,
Song Merrily goes our bark

About ten girls are now at work
in the new knitting factory, learning
how to operate the machinery. When
all of the machinery has been placed
in position and power secured from
the Fibreware Works the building
will be filled with industry and a
great amount of goods will be manu-
featured. The girls are now employed
in making socks.
U-Ground has been broken for the
extension to the Cassidy packing
house, and that structure will soon
be doubled in size. 1t has done very
successful business ever since it start
ed, and it's present crowded condition
renders the increased room abso-
lutely necessary. In walk through
the building reporter found every
thing neat and no foul odors any
where. The cold storage is simply
perfect, for the meats are absolutely
dry. Shipments are being made over
the entire Northwest, and four car
loads of meat have even gone to Cali

r. Polk & Co.'S new directory of
Mankato and Blue Earth County has
been distributed. 1t is much larger
than any previous one, containing 500
pages, including good deal of local
and outside advertising. There is a
short but fair write-up of the city,
and much valuable miscellaneous in
formation concerning it is given. The
names fill 176 pages. The county Of
Blue Earth has a very complete de-
scription. and each village has short
notice. There are 156 pages given
over to list of the farmers of the
county, in alphabetical order, giving
their occupation, number of section
upon which their land is located,
name of the township, number of
arces farmed, assessed value of same,
and postoffice address. Then follows
a classified business directory of the
county. While the book is valuable
and should be possessed by every bust
ness man, there are numerous errors
in regard to names, addresses, bust
ness, etc. Perhaps there are no more
than generally occur. but some of
them are amusing to our residents
who know the real facts. A little
more care would have eliminated
many of them.

Well, guess Miss Akerstrom is right,

softened by long use by other unfor-

by looking shows in good towns and
