The Hutchinson (Minn.) Independ-
ent Times is enthusiastic over a rail-
road project of one Col. Chase who is
projecting an electric car line from
Mankato to St. Cloud, the road to be
standard guage and capable of carry
freight cars to the various east and
west lines which it crosses. The
road will be assured the protector
states if 100000 in stock is sub
scribed by the towns through which
it passes and the right-ofrway and
grounds for power houses is donated.
A similar project is talked of be-
tween Sioux Falls and Madison.
These electric railways have become
an important factor in many localities
further east, and are destined to play
an important part in not only pas
senger but in freight matters. A line
from north to south in the eastern
part of our own state would be an i'm.
portant factor in transportation mat
ters and prove of incalculable value
to this section of country. If the
Sioux Falls and Madison line is built
there is no question but what its ex-
tension north should follow.

The new Normal school building at
Aberdeen was destroyed by fire
Wednesday night about o'clock. 1t
is supposed the fire caught from a
stove during the absence of the watch
man. The building was nearing COM
pletion, the carpenters having COM
menced work on the woodwork finish
ings. The state had advanced some
Sl1 900 on the building. but had not
accepted it from the contractor, and
the loss will therefore fall upon the
contractors. The Aberdeen News,
speaking of the catastrophe, says:
The loss will be almost total, the
only thing left standing above the
basement walls being the huge chin
ney which was built in as a part of
south wall. n. P. Fransen & Co. of
st. Paul, the contr actors who were
constructing the building, will be very
heavy losers by the fire. Their con-
tract price was between $4,000 and
$27 900, and the member of the firm
who has had charge of the construc-
tion states that over $4,000 had al
ready been put in the building by the
firm
