AN ARTESIAN WELL.
Suggestion That Swan Lake be Preserved
by Means of One.

The low stage of water at Swan
lake, causing large sections of the lake
bed to be absolutely dry, has led to the
fear that in few years more there
will be no lake. Fifteen or twenty
years ago the lake was an imposing
one, fifteen miles long and six wide,
with numerous islands, and ten or fif
teen feet of water. 1t was then tn e
habitation of countless fish, besides
the waterfowl that focked to it. AS
the years have passed, the water has
fallen way below the outlet, exposing
vast stretches of sand or bog over
grown with rushes and wild rice. The
lake has frozen to the bottom, destroy
ing all fish life 1t is still large lake
in ordinary seasons, although only a
foot or two deep in most places. Wild
rice and celery that grow there at
tract ducks by the thousand, making
the lake sportsman paradise.
This year the water is go low that
hunters find little pleasure and a vast
amount of toll in getting a mess of.
ducks This has led to the suggestion
that the water be replenished by
means of an artesian we'll The lake
is of great Importance to the farming
community, affording moisture and
delaying early frosts The extinguish-
ment of hundreds of lakes in southern
Minnesota has had it's effect in pro-
longing the dry seasons in summer by
taking away the local showers that are
depended upon to keep vegetation in
good condition. For this reason, it is
to the interest of the farmers to kee p
as many Of the lakes as possible.
1t is estimated that an artesia
we'll would keep two or three feet of
water in the lake, preserving it in dry
seasons. One could be put down for
perhaps $1,000. Almost any farmer
on the banks of the lake ought to be
glad to pay literally for such well
on his premises, and the balance might
be raised among the hunters who pat
ronize the lake. A subscription passed
among those in Mankato, New Ulm,
St. Peter, Nicollet and other places
near the lake would produce several
hundred dollars, and if there was any
deficiency the farmers living around
the lake and perhaps the county board
nf Ni0nl1Qt Ppnntu xuOr1l6 no 01a6 tn
make it up.
The suggestion is one that has been
talked of among local hunters this fall,
and is worthy of con sideration.

IMPORTANT SALE.
They Roller Corner Has Ne
Owners.
Rumors That 1t Will be Rem0deIed BY
the Purchasers and Office Rooms
Fitted Up.

A real estate deal of considerable
Importance has been consummated, but
the names of the buyers are withheld
from the public for the present, ow-
ing to certain interests which they
have pending.
The property referred to is the J. G.
Roller residence property, corner of
Broad and jackson streets. This in
cludes full lot and large residence.
There were two mortgages on the pro-
perty, aggregating So, 600, with some
accumulated interest, but we under
stand that the price paid was such that
Mr.. Roller receives considerable sum
over and above the membranes
Mr.. Roller is now in Denver, Colorado,
and the sale of his residence property
undoubtedly means that he has decided
to make his future home in the west
1t is rumored that the purchasers of
the property, who do not at present
reside in Mankato, intend to make
their home in this city hereafter. 1t is
said that they intend to remodel the
residence and use portion of it for
Office purposes. 1t will be splendid
location for the purposes intended.
Some time ago local physician was
negotiating for the pure base of the
rear of the lot, and it is said that he
went SO far as to have plans prepared
for a residence and Office combined.
The deal fell through, and now the
entire property is disposed of.
The proceeds of the sale do not pass
into the hands of Mr. Rollers trustee
in bankruptcy, as the property was
exempt as homestead.
