THE CONFERENCE.
Proposed North and South Road
Talked Over.
President ]. ]. Hill of The Great North.
ern, Does Not Think the Road
Would Pay.

Whether the Mankato-St. Cloud
railway will be built is still a matter of
speculation. The delegation which
spent Tuesday in ST. Paul interview
ing railroad officials and delegations
from other cities interested in the pro-
posed road has returned, but it has lit
tie to impart regarding the success of
it's trip.
The Mankato delegation, excepting
J. N. Hall, called upon President
Stickney, of the Chicago Great Wes-
tern railway, in the forenoon. The
conference was very brief one, and
the only matter mentioned was the
proposed extension of the track into
the center of the city and the construc-
tion of the new depot. Mr.. Stickney
informed his callers that the road in
tended to do something next year, but
that as the extension was yet to be
located and depot ground purchased
the less the matter is talked about in
the newspapers the better. The wis.
dom of this impressed itself upon the
delegation, and it left, assuring Mr..
Stickney of the co operation of the citi.
zens in whatever was done along this
line The matter of the North and
South road was merely broached, and
nothing definite said or done.
In the afternoon, Mayor Currier and
Jno. N. Hall, of this city, G. S. Benson,
of st. Cloud, and Capt. Reid, of Glen
coe, called upon j. J. Hill, president of
the Great Northern road, and spent an
hour and half with him. The mat
ter of the proposed North and South
road was fully talked over, an d Mr..
Hill stated frankly that he did not
think that the road would pay. The
| ength of the road would be ninety-six
miles, and the cost of construction and
equipment would be s2,0OO,0O Mr..
Hill went into the details of railway
construction and operation, and open
ed the eyes of hisyisitors with some of
his figures. He did not give any en-
couragement toward the building of
the road, but rather discouraged the
project. If it was built at all, he
favored another route than by way of
Glencoe, and this was cold comfort for
the Glencoe man. -
The delegates from ST. Cloud and
| Glencoe did not all arrive until late in
the afternoon, and the conference pro-
posed for the afternoon was postponed
until evening. st. Cloud was then rep
resented by G, S. Benson, David D. Cal
houn and w. B. Mitchell, and the
Glencoe delegates were M. P and II.

ference was held at the Merchants

kato, but it is an unwritten law among
railroad men that if line is construct
ed, it may be taken and operated by
such road without violating any i'm
piled agreement. 1t remains for the
business men along the proposed route
to organize and incorporate, and it is
possible that when this is done the
Great Northern or the Chicago Great
Western may occupy the field, unless
the Milwaukee should desire it.
At the evening conference, it was de-
