All of the teachers elected to the
high and graded schools for next year
have accepted except Prof. Bedford,
who was elected science teacher in the

in day or two whether he will secure
the appointment of assistant state
chemist, and if he fails in that he will
accept the position offered him by the
Mankato school board. There is a
demand in all directions for competent
science men, and it is not easy to pick
up good one at the salary offered by
the Mankato school board.

LIBRARY PLANS.
None of Them Satisfactory to
Mr.. Anderson.
he FayorS New York One With
Some Alterations, Which He
Sketches and Sends Back.

E. l.. Patterson, secretary of the
public library board. has received a
reply from E. Fl. Anderson, librarian
of the Carnegie library at Pittsburg, Pa.
to whom had been sent the five most
satisfactory plans for the library
building to be erected in this city. 1t
will be remembered that Mr. Anderson
is the man selected by Mr.. Carnegie's
private secretary to pass upon any
plan that might be selected by the
library board. The plans were sent to
him May 9th.
In his reply, Mr.. Anderson states
that he has carefully considered the
five sets of competitive plans sent, and
that he has returned them with the
following comments:
None of the plans are in his estima-
tion satisfactory, for several reasons.
First. He emphasizes the advisa-
bility of arranging the ground floor
SO as to give the public free access to
the stacks, subject to the supervision
of the librarian.
Second. He strongly advocates
bringing the childrens room from the
basement to first floor.
Third. He advises building a base
ment and first floor only. He does not
think it practicable to deaden the floor
sufficiently between the ground floor
and auditorium in case a second
should be built.
In response to the request that he de-
signate his first, second and third
choice of plans submitted, he says the
plan marked -A-or the one with
radial stacks is the only one he would
consider. With certain changes, this
plan might be altered to suit
He encloses a rough sketch of
plan, which he has made for the bene-
fit of the board. He wishes it under
stood that this plan is not necessarily
final.
President Wood has called meeting
of the library board for Wednesday
evening to take further action in the
matter.
The plan most favored by Mr.. Ander-
son is the New York plan, which re-
ceived majority of the votes of the
board on an informal ballot The
board can reject all the plans and pay
the prizes which it offered, and then
have new plan prepared, using the
New York plan as basis and working
in the changes suggested by Mr.. An
derson. The superintendent could still
be Mankato man.
The board will undoubtedly be gov
erned by Mr.. Anderson's suggestions,
for he is an expert in library plans, be-
sides having been designated by the
donor of the library building to pass
upon the plans.

STILL AT WORK.

LIE Sueur Sentinel: The report that
found credence here few days ago,
to the effect that the corps of G.. M. &
st. Paul surveyors that were at work
at or near Montgomery, this county,
in the survey of line from Farming
ton to Mankato, had been called off,
had no foundation in fact. Their
operations have not been suspended one
moment since they set out, and are be-
ing continued now. They are at work
this week between Montgomery and
the Center, with camps at the former
place. Several lines have been run at
Montgomery, two of which enter the
village and one of which crosses the
M. & st. L. one and one-half miles
north of town. Which route will be
finally chosen, it is hard to say. That
the road will be built from Farming
ton to Mankato along the best route
to be had is without doubt an assured
fact

the strength of a nation lies in the
patriotism of the people. He referred
to the enormous cost of the Civil war

United States of its own accord, as the
business interests of the island will

the graves of the fallen heroes of the

AFTER FRUIT TRAFFIC.
The G. N Efforts to Secure Portion of
the Fruit Trade in California.

St. Paul, May 27.-Western reports
are that the new California-Pacific
railway, recently incorporated with a
capital of 81, 900, 600 to build from Los
Angeles to San Pedro, the ocean port
of Los Angles, is to be built in the
interests of the Great Northern to en-
able it to compete with the Southern
Pacific in fruit traffic from Central
California. From San Pedro, connec-
tions will be had with North Coast
ports and the Great Northern by means
of the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany.
Little information is obtainable in
st. Paul regarding the new line The
first fruit shipments from Central
California handled by the Hill lines
were made from Los Angels to San
Pedro, over the Southern Pacific s
short line. When the Southern
Pacific found that the Great Northern
and Pacific Coast company were likely
to secure firm hold on the Central
California business, it increased it's
rates so that both were shut out of the
field. The recently incorporated line
will parallel the Southern Pacific.
"It looks to me like a Hill move, +"
said a railway official yesterday Gun
less the Southern Pacific is to be given
run for its money in fruit traffic,
I see no reason why parallel line
should be built. The Great Northern
has repeatedly made fair offers to the
Central California lines, but has as fire.
quently found that it could not make
Roadway. I do not think the new line
it primarily Hill enterprise, but l
am strongly inclined to think Mr..
Hill will control it, using it as an out
let to the ocean for shipments to be
brought East over the Great
Northern. -

FREE TRIP TO BUFFALO.

Only little over one month remains
before the contest that is on at Ben
I. Monson's grocery store between the
friends of several of our teachers, will
close. A free ticket to the Pan
American exposition is prize worth
working for. The race is close be-
tween two of the teachers Miss Lie
berg having 1, 1913 votes and Miss Wood
1, 1924. Miss Margaret Kelley has
gained lately and now has 432 to her
credit. There is likely to be a good
deal of hustling between the friends
of the teachers from now on.
