Industries.

|. x. Brett, of Minneapolis, repre-
sentative of the American Linseed Oil
Co, was in the city Friday and ar
ranged for closing the oil mill in this
city. The mill has not been in opera
ton for some time, but the buying and
selling of fax and oil meal has con
tinued. Now even this will cease, and
the Office will be closed tomorrow and
it will be as though there were no such
mill in existence. The machinery that
is still here will remain.
The closing Of the mill does not eff
feet many people fortunately. w. D.
Willard is vice president of the Man
kato Mills Co and has devoted most of
his time to that company and will de.
vote his entire time there hereafter. A.
c. Robbins is left Sin the air." but will
probably not be out in the cold long.
The closing Of the mill is a move of

SOME MANKATO SAILORS.
New Boats that will Float on Unsa!t
ed Seas.

Boating is sport of which few of
our young men have taken advantage
in the past, except for fishing or hunt
ing purposes. With the deep water
lakes anound here, this is rather strange.
There promises to be growth Of in
terest in this sport in the future.
A. C. Bennett has constructed during
theSwinter a fine sailing canoe, with
two low masts and sails of a new pat
tern for our lakes. A. w. Robinson
has Constructed a somewhat similar
boat, with two masts 1t is the inten-
ton of these gentlemen to do some cruis-
ing on the lakes and rivers during the
coming year. The boats are we'll deck

fast sailors in almost any breeze
Ed Pfeiffer has constructed during
the winter fine hunting boat, Senator
Benedict also has new boat, and others
are contemplating having boats.

MEMBERSHIP CONTEST.
The Members of The Y. NJ. c. A. to Have
Another RuslIe for New Members,

A little more than two years ago the
Y. NJ c A had a contest which was
the means of adding one hundred and
twenty-five new members to the or
ganization. This increased the useful
mes of the associa ion by extending its
privileges to that many more young
men. During these two years great
many more young men have come to
the city and have not yet become
acquainted with the Y M. G. A. In
order to bring the association and its
privileges to the attention Of these and
other young men, and at the same time
10 have lively time socially, 1t has
been decided to have another contest
which will begin March 18th and con-
tinue two weeks. This will be shorter
than the first contest and the indica,
tions are that it Will be more spirited.
Two teams of ten men each have
been chosen. They will be captained
by Mr.. Geo. W. Sugden and DIR. j. S.
Holbrook Both captains are already
getting their teams organized; ready
for hot work right from the start. The
colors adopted are the same used before
Mr.. Sugden's men will be the Reds, :"
and DR.. Holbrook's the Blues, though
the Blues hope TO transfer their color to
the Reds before the contest closes.
There will be several membership rallys
and social affairs during the contest,
and large increase in the mem bershlp
will probably be the result, as there are
good many young men who Will be
glad TO join when they see the advan-
tages the association offers at very small
cost

THE THIRD STORM.
March is Ke ping Up the Winters Repu.
ta.iCn.

A third storm, similar in all respects
to the ones which swept over the city in
November and February, set in Satur-
day afternoon. The wind arose during
the evening and blew a gale, while the
air was filled with snow, projected along
horizontally. Probably ten inches of
snow fell on the level, but it was swept
into great drifts, and the west side of
Front street was filed again.
The city snow plows were out early
Sunday, and made paths SO that pee
pie could go to church.
The railroads did not suffer much,
although freight trains were abandoned
Sunday. Passenger trains were near
ly on time.
The-temperature fell to zero Sunday
night, but warmed mp rapidly after the
sun came out, and the thawing process
set in Sleighing is in order once more,
and will probably continue for several
days.
Snow is said to ensure good crops, and
if this is so, Blue Earth county ought to
have phenomenal crops this year

A SHORT CUT.
Mankat0 & New Ulm Road Will Save
Many Miles.

The surveyors are putting the finish
ing touches on the map of the Mankato
& New Ulm road as proposed to be con.
structed. The road will be almost a
straight line, 254 miles long, and with
very light grades. A large number of
ravines are crossed, making stone cul-
verts frequent.
The estimates have been completed
and sent in to the Chicago office, and
the engineers who have been at work on
the line will go there to consult The
next step will be to award the contract
for constructing the roadbed. The
headquarters of the working force will
will probably be located on the second
floor of the Union depot, although
nothing definite has yet been done
about it.

Miss Pierson made an appeal for more

All agreed that they ought to visit the
schools more often and become &C
quainted with the teachers and the
methods now in use Mrs Osborn
thought mothers ought not only to look
out for the welfare of their own chill
dren but for that of children of care
less parents. There was considerable
discussion over the evils of allowing
children to be irregular with their
meals, remaining at the school house at
noon without lunch, or coming in the
morning without having had breakfast
The teachers are entitled to much
credit for the energy they have shown
in this effort to create closer relations
between parents and schools.
