The Board of Trade Considers tn
M. & St. L. Extension.
A Dairy Board of Trade Endorsed and
Committee Appointed.

At the meeting of the board OF
trade Monday, Jno. N. Hall, Of
the committee on real estate and ne
gotiation, stated that three or foul
weeks ago he had written to the Rock
Island officials about moving the M
&. st. L. depot further up town, but
had heard nothing. He thought this
good time to work the matter up
and offered the following resolution;
ResolUed, That, believing it is fol-
the mutual advantage of the owners
of the road from Red Wing to Man
kato and the people of this city that
| the passenger and freight depot be
| brought nearer the center OF business,
we invite conference between a
| representative of such road and the
bushes men Of the city in regard to
this.
The matter was discussed at some
length, and also the report that when
the Minneapolis &. St. Louis is ex-
tended west it will cross the river A
difference of opinion prevailed as to
whether this would be the most
feasible route, the majority believing
that it would.
Mr.. Hall said that he had been in
formed that the present plan of the
road is to extend to Morton.
NJ. B. Haynes and others thought
that when the M. g. St. L. extends
west Through this city, the c.
& n. W. road will straighten it's
track to New Ulm.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Hall
was adopted.
Mr. Haynes called the attention of
the board to the fact that an effort is
being made to establish butter
board of trade in this City, and
that meeting would be held March
10th. for that purpose. He thought
that the board should aid in the pro-
ject.
J.C. Noe said that the dairy board
some years ago was asuccess, although
there were then but four creameries
in Sout hwestern Minnesota. Now
thereare a number in each county,
y. NJ. Carrier offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That this board heartily
approves the move to secure a dairy
board of trade in the city of Mankato,
and that committee of five be ap-
pointed to act in the matter.
President Shoemaker, the resOlu-
tion being adopted, appointed as such
committee, j. G. Noe, M. B. Haynes,
f. M. Carrier, A. j. Busch and G. H.
Austin.

A DAIRY BOARD OF TRADE.

If our people are anxious to have
Mapkato a butter market and center
for the creameries for this section of
the state, they should take hold of
and help along the work, and give
the creameries that are interested in
the matter substantial encourage
ment. The mere formation of but
ter board of trade will be of little use
unless something practical comes
from it. There seems to be an impress
sion among some that all that is
wanted is to secure an organization OF
a creamery board and we will imme-
diately grow to be a great butter CEN
ter. And the history of Elgin's
growth in this respect is always Cit
ed. Nothing could be more erroneous.
There must be buyers, or there will
be no market. Whenever the matter
is brought up, the dairy board OF
trade at EIgin is cited, and it is al
ways stated that there are somewhere
from 300 to 400 creameries interested
in the market there. The Creamery
Journal says that this is entirely mis-
leading. That the board there does
not handle the product or over TWEEN
ty creameries per week, and that tmis
product is mostly handled by few
resident buyers, who would be impor'
TINT buyers were they located in Chi
Cage or New York. They have a
trade that demands that butter and
the reinforcement of creamery
board of trade enables them to fix
their price and hold it.
II our commercial bodies can Dc
anything toward influencing buyers
to come here, that is the work they
should turn their attention to. The
creamery men will attend to the
boarl of trade all right. If plenty Of
push and energy is put into the move
there are good chances that it Car
be made success, even though they
depended almost or entirely upon re-
representatives. of eastern commission
firms to handle the buying. For this
Mankato is admirably fitted, because
of the cold storage facilities it is pos
sessed of, which are enjoyed by ne
other city or town in Southern Min
nesota.
But to ensure the greatest measure
of success move should be made t(
encourage several'lOcal buyers and TIL,
J. the work that should employ the
attention of our commercial bodies,
and that at once. That properly
done the success of Mankato as q
creamery butter market will be a:
nearly assured as any new project Ca
be. The ,creameries are willing to d.

William Herman SuccumbS to an
Attack of Heart Disease.

William Herman died suddenly at
ten o'clock Saturday night at the
home of his brother, Alexander Her
man, BIT North Broad street, of heart
disease. He was sitting in chair in
the kitchen conversing with members
of the family, when he was stricken.
DR.. J. A. Hielscker was hastily sum-
moneG, and found that the man was
dead. Coroner Paddock was then sent

necessary.

was forty years of age, and had been
in this country sixteen years. He was
single man, and had resided at Blue
Earth City for several years, working
for farmer, but came to Mankato
seven weeks ago He did not drink
and was apparently in the best OF
health, and had never had any previ
Gus attack Of the disease.
The deceased leaves an aged mother
and a sister in Germany, and q
| brother in Nebraska, besides the one
in this city. He left no real estate OF
life insurance, but had considerable
money loaned out. He took notes fol
some of this, and loaned some without
taking notes, of which there is nc
| record.
