The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-01-12

The statement that Mr.. Wagner has
renounced his designs on the mayoralty
on a promise from the leaders that he
will have their unqualified support for
the office of clerk of courts at the next
county election, is false.
A. R. Kiefer seems to have exceed ID
the time limit which his trends gave him
to show his intentions toward the Office
of mayor. that he so much desires to
fill. Some weeks ago it was announced
that he would be heard from in less than
two weeks. but that period is now past
some six days, and the Kaiser remains
in hiding. Mr.. hieter will have a hard
row to hoe and he knows it, and this
probably explains hia reluctance to
come out of his hole until the last min
ute. He certainly has not the support
of the present Republican county and
city officials. They have not been back
ward in saying so, and will do some
choice knitting when the proper time
comes.
Ever since the campaign opened rumor
has been busy with the name of Assem-
blyman Nelson, who, it is said would
like the Republican nomination for
fact, however, that President Warner,
of the assembly, is the machine candi-
date, and in order to strengthen his
chances it is said a dicker has been
made by which, in the event that the
two council bodies become Republican,
Mr.. Nelson is to have the city clerkship
for staying cut of the race. Mr.. Nelson
is from the First ward, and has strong
following.

GRlNNELL RAILROAD IN SPRING.
Line Is to Be Extended to the South.


Des Moines, Dec. 1S-The Grinnell
and Northwestern Railroad company
is making preparations to resume the
work of extending it's line southwest
from Fraser Junction to some point
southeast of there and something over
100 miles will be laid as soon as the
weather permits next spring.
Tie contracts for the work have
been let the st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Western Construction company and
the ties. piles, and other lumber have
already been purchased from st. Louis
firms. and are being carried to Fraser
Junction by the Wabash Railroad
company.
A permanent survey has already
been made which extends from Fraser
through Kelly aud Huxley. and a pre-
liminary survey has been made
through Mingo to Newton. 1t is said.
however. that the company Is serious
ly considering the matter of building
into Grinnell and this assumption is
born out by the fact that the company
has changed its name from the New
ton and Northwestern to the Grinnell
and Northwestern.
The railroad commission has al
ready been called upon to condemn
land in the vicinity of Boone and
Fraser and the work of building the
line is row going on there. The line
from Gowrie to Fraser, it is said, will
be rebuilt next spring. The roadbed
in that section. it is claimed. does not
meet with the approval of those who
are financing the enterprise and some
OF the curves are to be Strengthened
out and other changes made.
