WEST MANKATO WORK.
Street Committee Takes a Look at the
Streets There.

The street committee of the council
was out Tuesday, accompanied by
President Porter and Engineer Thomp-
son, looking over West Markato to see
what is needed there in the way of i'm
provements and repairs. West Front
street was found to be in need of re-
pairs, the macadam having become
rough. 1t needs to be picked up and
then rolled down anew by the street
roller. The Pleasant street extension
across the slough needs to have some
more filling, to raise it little and
cover over the manure.
Mound avenue needs some attention,
but it is considered to be too expen-
sive to grade it. 1t will be repaired
where most needed and put in fair
condition. The committee was favor
able to doing the work that was found
to be necessary, and it will no doubt
be carried out.

EMPIRE BUILDERS OF THE WEST.

The Free Press is in receipt of
copy of ''The Early Empire Builders
of the Great West" by Moses K.
Armstrong of st. James. 1t gives a
very vivid account of the settling and
shaping of the Dakotas into territory
and finally to statehood. 1t also delves
to scme extent into the early history
of the territories, cites Indian tradi-
tions, refers to early explorations, and
fur trade, early settlements and pioneer
politics, reviews theirnatural resources !;
tells of the pioneer legislatures and of
the Indian wars, and in short gives
one a most excellent idea of the hardy
pioneers who laid the foundation for
the prosperity which that section now
enjoys, and touches to some extent
upon the hardships which confronted
them. Nothing has escaped the eye of
the author and the comical and ludi-
crous is chronicied with the pathetic
and the hardships. Mr.. Armstrong
was delegate in congress from the
territory in the early days, and the
position which he occupied has given
him peculiar advantage in gaining
information which he has faithfully
reproduced, and his work is most
valuable contribution to the historical
works of the great northwest.
The book is published by E. W.
Porter of st. Paul, is neatly gotten up
nd will prove most valuable &C
auisition to any library.

THE MILWAUKEE, EXTENSION
Will Go From Mendoza to Mank alto, via
LeSu ur Center.

The Minneapolis Journal speaking
of the proposed extension of the Mil
waukee road from this city to the twin
cities says:
The Milwaukee railway company
has had under consideration for sew
eral weeks a plan to build new line
running toward the southwest from
the twin cities The line will not only
open up very valuable territory, but
eventually give that road shorter line
to Omaha.
The first part of the line would ex-
tend from Mendoza to Mankato, pass
ng-through LIE Sueur Center, seat of
LIE Sueur county, now without rail
road. If the line is built to Mendoza,
st. Paul will naturally be the chief
city to gain by it.
Some Minneapolis people are said to
be trying to induce the Milwaukee to
build the new line from Mankato via.
Benton Junction, which would make
the mill city the chief gamer.

BOOKED FOR SUPT.
A Rumor Connects Hugh Spencer's Name
With the Milwaukee Extension.

There is rumor current in rail
road circles to the effect that Hugh
Spencer is booked for the position of
division superintendent on the new
Wells-St. Paul division of the Milwau-
kee road. Mr.. Spencer left last night
for Butte, Mont, and could not be
seen today in regard to the matter.
The Milwaukee would be fortunate to
secure the services of so able and COM
petent railroad man as Mr. Spen-
Ger. who for years was superintendent
of tine st. Paul-Sioux City division of
the Omaha road.
Another rumor that is abroad says
that Mr.. Spencer will be given a lucra-
tive position on Mr.. Deans road,
which, though not long system, is
said to be paying one. The purpose
of his present trip west is said to be
to look over this field
The extension of the Milwaukee
road from this city to st. Paul is an
assured thing and will be made this
year. The distance by way of Farm
ington and LIE Sueur Center is eighty
miles, or six miles shorter than the
Omaha. When this has been construct
ed, there will remain only twenty
eight miles more to complete a short
line between st. Paul and Omaha.
This is from jackson to point south
in Iowa, which will no doubt be
built this year.
The Milwaukee will seriously cut in
to the passenger business of the Omaha
road, as it's distance will be shorter
a nd the depot is more conveniently
located. 1t will probably not run as
many trains as the Omaha, but if they
are run at seasonable hours they will
carry a good many passengers to and
from this city.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.
Suggestions About Planting Trees and
Flowers.

If the teachers and pupils through
out the state follow the instructions
sent to them Saturday by State Super
intendent of Public Instruction Olso n
there. will be thousands of trees plant
ed in every nook and corner of Mime
sofa Friday, Arbor and Bird day.
Inclosed with the annual proclama-
tion of the governor is set of in
structions signed by Mr.. Olsen. He
said that last year only S13 school dis
tricts in the state observed Arbor day.
More than 5000 districts held no ex-
ercises at all. There are 1,793 school
houses in Minnesota which have no
trees around them. Mr.. Olsen hopes
that each one Of them will be properly
looked after Friday by the pupils.
Commenting on the establishment
of BIRD Clubs the state superinten-
dent says it has not only for it's pur-
pose the protection of birds but the
study of them in natural way. He
urges that the trees and shrubs be set
our around the school houses to attract
birds.
Speaking of the kind of trees and
shrubs to plant, he says not to remove
natural trees for cottonwoods and
Lombardys. In planting trees do not
select large ones. Seek those that can
be dug up without the cutting of many
roots. If the desire is to plant hedges
use the white willow ami the green
ash For groves use box elders, bass
wood, white elm, hackberry, soft
maple, birch, red cedar, jack pine,
white spruce, etc.
He suggests the following spring
flowers for ornamenting the school
grounds: Sweet peas, candytuft,
dianthos, portualca, calliopsis; nastur
TUNA, mignonette, zinnia, petunia,
feverfew and nicotiana.
