SOME OPPOSITION.
The Creamery Company Votes
to Move to MankatO.
A New Building May be Erected in This
City, and Only the Machinery
Moved.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Mankato Cooperative
Dairy Association was held at it's
creamery in Mankato township yes
terday afternoon. A committee from
this city, composed of W. L. Com
stock, H. E. Hance and j. G.. Roller,
attended the meeting to present the
offer of our citizens for the removal
of the creamery plant to Mankato.
The project to move the creamery
met with decided opposition on the
part of many of the farmers present,
but those who favored it outnumbered
the others by large majority, the
final vote standing Sc to 81 in favor of
moving.
The directors have an opportunity
to sell the present building, and as it
would cost about $3.50 to move it to
Mankato, it would seem to be the
part of wisdom to dispose Of it. The
money that could be obtained from
lUS SdlCS dpOOu w udu udS UCCD
raised in this city. will build a new
and larger buildln The machinery
can be easily moved.
The council appropriated $500
toward the creamery, and the citizens
committees have raised $3.50 more
There should now be no delay in
getting the creamery moved. Plenty
of cows have been pledged, and the
new enterprise is sure to be success.
Mr.. Roller made the meeting yes
terday proposition on behalf of
business men south of Jackson street,
which was accepted, and the cream
cry will be located south of that
street. This proposition was the
offer of land rent free for five years,
and some cash besides. This is in
addition to the amount referred to
above. The total amount raised in
cash and rent is about 1915, which
speaks we'll of the enterprise of our
citizens.

HAS NO POWER.
The Knitting Mill Must be Sold Without
Power.

1t developed during the knitting
mill hearing yesterday afternoon that
the mill has no power of it's own, and
that it must be sold without power.
1t has been leasing power from the
6breware works. Whoever buys the
mill must put in power, unless he also
buys the ibreware works and operates
both from the same plant, which is
the only way that the fibrew1re works
can be made to pay. Assignee Moffatt
was asked how much he thought
would be required to put in power
plant at the knitting mills, and re-
piled that $4,000 would do it.
The hearing before Judge Severance
yesterday lasted until five O'Clock, land
was quite animated at times during
the afternoon. The opposing sides
had difficulty in finding any common
ground to agree upon, and once or
twice one side was on the point OF
Withdrawing from the room. As
stated yesterday, it was finally agreed
to let Assignee Moffett operate the
plant according to his own judgment
for sixty days. but he is not permit
ted to borrow more than $4,000 with
out further order from the court.
He had testified that he would neeo
to borrow $4,000 ia order to run tht
mill at profitable output. It is ex
pected that the mill will be sold al
the end of the sixty days. A report
is required from the assignee at thu
end Of twenty days.
1t came out in the evidence yester-
day afternoon that the assets of the
mill on July 3lst 1897, according to an
inventory, were SlS4,0O0, divided as
follow: Merchandise and material,
S23, 937; real estate and buildings, $780,
42l; machinery, S72, 227;proft and loss.
S15, 722; bills receivable, S6,972: &C
counts receivable, S25, 922 Agains
this was charged capital, 1877, 500; bills
payable, $50, 946; accounts payable, 49,,
972; unpaid bills, S2,S43.60.
At the time that the assignment
was made, the schedule of assets
footed up $4,000, or shrinkage in
the book value of S126.000.

MankatO People Who Are Reading Klon.
dixie Literature.

Several of our citizens are planning
to 60 to the Klondike the coming
spring. They have not fully decided
to go, but are reading up as much al
possible on the subject. Among
these are F. L. Meservey, D. S. Evans
and Geo. W. Slade. They have turn
ed their attention to the Copper river
district rather than to the Klondik,
proper. The Copper river is supposed
to have less disadvantages of climat,
than the Klondike, and the parUie,
that have formed or are forming from
this section generally have that rlvel
as their destination.
Henry APPEL and Ed. Griffiths hst
expected to leave about this time f.

cooled good deal as they have inves
tigated the subject further.
