FAVORS THE MOVE.
How the Navigation Law Operates on
the Minnesota River

Engineer Haynes fayors the move
ment started by the .Nicollet county
commissioners to have this portion of
the Minnesota river declared unDavi-
gable, in order to permit the construc-
tion of bridges across it, without
draws. The river is no longer useful
to commerce, and probably never will
be.
The bridge across the river at
CORTLAND was constructed in viola-
tion of the law, as it has no draw, and in
case of high water and steam boat
should be prevented from passing it
on the way to New Ulm, it could be
pulled down, or the authorities
could be held for damages for delay
caused the boat. A similar case oc-
Cured at St. Peter some years ago,
where the draw of the Chicago q
Northwestern bridge could not be
opened, and a steamer was delayed
until men could arrive from Winona
to make it operate. THE railroad was
obliged to pay liberal damages for the
delay caused If the river was offici-
ally not a navigable stream, this liza
bility would be obviated.

AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT
The Proposed Extension of Liberty
and Record Streets.

A petition is being circulated ask
ing the council to extend Liberty
street to the range line, thence west
parallel with the south line of Cum
Minis addition, thence to the Milwau-
kee track, and thence to Mound ave-
nue.; and to extend Record street in a
straight line to intersect the extern
sion of Liberty. The latter would
pass under the Milwaukee track. j.
A. Willard owns about all the land
adjacent to the proposed extension,
some thirty or forty acres, and it is
believed that he will favor the move,
as his land would be opened up for
manufacturing purposes. This is the
matter referred to by Aid. Bradley at
the last meeting of the council, and
he will champion the petition when
it is presented.

SHOULD VISIT THE LOCATION.

Mr.. EDIToR-The papers and the
public are discussing the question of
bridging the Red Jacket. Some
members of the board of trade and
others seem inclined to blame the
county commissioners for refusing
to comply with the request of the
petition for said bridge. AS one men,
Der of the board of commissioners l
suggest that the road committees of
the city council, board of trade and
commercial club visit the Red Jacket
crossing and make a report to the
county board or to the public on the
ACCESSIBILITY of the county building a
bridge where the petition locates it,
each member signing his name to
the report after actual examination.

The officers of the Blue Earth
County Agricultural Society held a
meeting at the Clifton House this af-
ternoon TO make preliminary ARA nge-
ments for the next county fair at
Garden City. Those present were
President n. P. John, Secretary Ora
Swan, Treasurer Crane, and Vice
Presidents James Dobie, EW. Parker
and j. G. Wise Jr.
1t was voted to hold the fair this
year On Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Sept. I'd, Sd and 4th. The
last day is to be known as Modern
Woodman day.
1t was decided to have a county ex-
hibit at the state fair, which occurs
on che week from Aug. 3lSt to Sept
5th. In order to make this as COM
plete as possible it was voted to ask
the cooperation of the MankatO Com
mercial Club and Board of Trade. 1t
was also decided to ask the county
board to assist to preparing and col
lecting the exhibit and in defraying
the expenses, and to bring this about
a committee of three is to see the
board. Pres. John will represent the
agricultural society, and each of the
above commercial organizations will
be asked to appoint member.
The matter of premiums was then
taken up, and ian objection was made
to paying higher premiums on horses
than on cattle and hogs, when the
latter are such important branches of
farming. 1t was decided to equalize
the premiums in these three divisions
by reducing the premiums on horses a
dollar, and making the first and
second premiums in each division S.
and So respectively.
The butter premiums were then
taken up and increased from So and ST.
to S., So and 81, and the classes con-
solidated into two, dairy and creamery,
not less than ten pounds to be entered.
The premiums on cheese were in
creased from So and 81 to 81 and ST.
This action was due to the fact that
the dairy interests of the county are
| 10 rapidly coming forward as to be de-
serving of greater recognition.
1t was decided to go over the Floral
Hall premium list at a future meet
ing to be held at Garden City, at
which the ladies shall be invited to
participate. The secretary thought
that this list needs changing badly.
Mr.. Crane suggested that floor
should be placed in Floral Hall, and
the matter was left with committee
on improvements for the year, con-
sisting of Messrs. Parker and Crane.
President John was appointed a
committee on privileges The matter
of charges was talked over, and it was
voted to charge S. for each general
stand. The water melon privileges
were left with the treasurer, to use
his discretion as to charges. Presi-
dent John stated that no gambling
would be allowed on the ground.
Mr.. Parker was appointed a COM
mittee on eating house.
1t was voted to pay the Bates estate
$50 for services at the county exhibit
at the state fair last year.
An adjournment was taken until
Tuesday. June I'd, at Garden City,
when the committees from the COM
mercaIl bodies of this city will be ex-
pected to be present.

DOWN TO BUSINESS.
The r1ankato Fruit Commission Co
in Its New f1Ome.

The MankatO Fruit Commission
Co. has occupied the building on
Hickory street which it has had re-
modelled for the purpose. The build
ing is nearly completed, only the
finishing touches yet remaining to be
put on, and it is just the thing for the
purposes of the company. There is
plenty of cold storage capacity in the
rear, and also large basement, be-
sides the warehouse and Office on the
first floor. Telephone connection will
be put in, in few days, and Drayman
Will Fox has entered the employ of
the firm.
The Man alto Fruit Commission Co.
is Differed by S. G. Palmer, president,
@. A. Wright, vice-president,a nd Geo.
G. Sherman, secretary ana treasurer.
Mr. Sherman is member of the Geo
q. Sherman Co., fruit auctioneers, of
Minneapolis, and as his duties there
pretty well occupy his time from the
middle of May until October, he will
during that time come to the city on
Friday nights, but at other times of
the year he will devote his entire time
here. S. ]. Wright will travel for the
company, and there will be one other
travelling representative. These two
will cover Southern Minnesota and
Northern Iowa. p. S. Thomas, who
has position with the firm, will re-
main in Mankato all of the time.
The firm will handle everything in
the fruit line, such as oranges, lemons,
apples, bananas, nuts, figs, dates, pine
apples, and all the deciduOus small
fruits of California, such as plumS,
cherries, ETC., and also cider. Bananas
will be received direct from New
Orleans and stored in room for the
purpose. One of the members of the
firm has California connections. and
fruit will be shipped directly to Man
kato in car load lots, thus saving the
local tariff from Minneapolis to Man
kato. While complete line will be
carried, it will be for the wholesale
trade only, and the firm expects to be
able to meet all competition. There
will always be large stock of fresh
fruits to choose from, and the local
retailers will find it to their interest
to patronize the house. The better
support the firm receives, the better
it will be able to do Dy its customers,
and their interests will be Identical.
We wish the new firm success.

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
Kitchens. In fact the secret of good
health is good cooking. Ii we'll cook
ed, foods are partially digested; if
poorly cooked, they are less diges-
tible than in their raw state. Ii you
are victim of faulty cooking; that is,
if you suffer from dyspepsia, the IA
tional cure must be looked for in an
artificially digested food, and food
which will at the same time aid the
digestion of other foods. Such prep
aration virtually rests the tired d.
gestive organs, thereby restoring them
to their natural strength. The Di-
gesUive Cordial, as prepared by the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
such a preparation, and single 10
cent bottle will convince you of It's
value. If'your druggist doesn't keep
it, he will be glad to get it through
his wholesale house.
