USE MANKATO STONE.

A special meeting of the board Of
trade was held Fridayforenoon to con-
slider the use of Mankato stone in the
public building.
j. n. Hall stated the object of the
meeting and made report for the
committee appointed Monday to con-
slider the subject. He said that he
had learned from the stone quarry
owners that there is cream ledge
that required to be sawed, and a cut
stone ledge, both being at the bottom
of the quarry. Mr.. Widell had ship
ped $4,000 worth of cut stone ledge
to Minneapolis for use in the court
house. Mr.. Widell had sent samples
of the cut stone ledge to Washington.
The Kasota stone becomes colored in
time, as can be seen on the ST. Paul
Baptist church, built seventeen
years ago. The cream ledge and the
cut stone ledge are cheaper than the
Kasota stone, and enough is now I'M
CONClCu. llC IOlSOii why NooOO(t
stone has been furnished cheaper is
because so mucn more has been un-
covered. Unless something is done,
Kasota stone will be used in the pub
lie building. There is one bid on
Bedford, Ind, stone.
II. p. Christensen stated that the
epresentativeS~a Washington could
accomplish the most by using their
influence for MankatO stone. He be-
lieved that Mankato stone is the best.
J. G. Fowler thought that Mankato
stone would be accepted and that the
only question is to get low bid on
it, and if necessary the city should
raise bonus for the bidders on Man
kato stone.
H. P. Jensen said that Mankato and
the Mankato quarrymenc cannot afford
to have other stone used. To use
Mankato stone would be an adver-
tisement to the city.
Capt. j. r. Beatty stated that he
would prefer the Mankato red stone
to the Kasota red stone, and favored
this for use on the building. The

CHEAP BINDING TWINE,

The binding Irvine committee ap-
pointed at recent meeting of the
farmers of Blue Earth and Nicollet
counties held a meeting at
the city hall Saturday afternoon to
consider the receiving of or
ders for binding Irvine. In response
to a letter of inquiry, the committee
has received a communication from
the warden Of the state prison stating
that for car load lots a Price of 81
cents pound would be made. Where
the orders are smaller the price is I
cents, cash paid in advance. Another
advantage of ordering in car load lots
is that the purchasers are given until
November LIST to pay for it, giving
their notes until that time without
interest. The cost of transportation
is 30cents hundred, which will bring
the cost to the consumers to $3.50
hundred pounds. The money or notes
must be paid in at the National Citi-
zenS bank by June 18th. The COM
mittee anticipates no difficulty in get
ting orders for car load of Irvine, or
10000 pounds. Orders for 1000
pounds were received today, this be-
ing the first day out.

BARN BURNED.

Friday barn on the P. A. Eos
ter farm, on the east side Of Eagle
Lake, caught fire from sparks from
the chimney of the house and burned
to the ground. Sparks from the burn
ing barn set fire so the house, and
that was partially burned. The farm
was conducted partly as a chicken
raising farm, and number of
chickens burned with the barn. The
loss on the barn and contents was
$3.50, and 5000 of insurance was carried
in the Hartford, with j. T. Williams
& Son. The house was damaged to
the extent of $3.50, and was insured

kaSOta red StOne'gfOWS darker, owing
to somei change in the iron in the
stone, while "MankatO red stone re-
mains bright longer. The only fault
with the Mankato red stone is that
there are cavities in it, and as such
stone must be thrown out, it is more
expensive. There is no better cream
and buff stone than can be taken
from our quarries. 1t is not a ques-
tion Of quality, but one OF the price
which our quarrymen are willing to
bid.
Vernon Williams stated that the
government inspector who was here
last winter stated in his report that
the MankatO stone is devoid of color
at the least. He had said that he
would not use Mankato stone in any
good building. The supervising
architect at Washington receives a
sample of each kind of stone bid on,
and makes his selection, and the
building must be made Of the kind he
selects.
w. B. Craig stated that Mankato
must make kick for the use OF Man
kato stone, as Winona had success
fully sdone in its public building.
Half the people in Mankato don't
want Mankato stone used. COntrac-
tors would prefer to bid ON foreign
stone, and there would be no com
plant then.
l. Longini moved that committee
be appointed to correspond with our
representatives in Washington on the
subject, land that resolution be sent.
This was carried.
III. p. Christensen moved that the
committee consist of Architect Ger
ZACH, Jno. f. Meagher and Geo. L.
Barr. This was adopted.
On. Motion of Geo. t. Barr, the old
committee was empowered to draw
up the resolution.
Luis Jackson, industrial commission
er of the G. NJ. & ST. 2. Railway Co.,
was introduced and made some re-
marks, explaining his duties. He
said that he worked to develop the
Industries along the road, to make
the territory known throughout the
east, to SO secure an increase in the
freightsand passenger business. OF late
years there ehas been a movement
west Of eastern manufacturing indus
tries. Without energy Of people the
idea of developing the west is a farce.
We want to locate manufacturing iC-
duStrieS in the great northwestern
states. If an industry or man
wants to locate in the west we make
a thorough investigation of it or him,
as we want no languishing7 industries
along our line. We advertise in the
eastern trade journals, showing the
advantages of places along our road.
We desire to cooperate with Man
kato and all other points in securing
them new industries.
The board adjourned.
