The move made by the board of
trade at its meeting yesterday fer bet
ter roads leading out of Mankato into
the country is good one and deserves
to be followed up. and our business
men ought to take interest enough in
the subject to follow it in practical
way. While the suggestion of pre-
MUM of $500 for the best mile of road
leading into Mankato built by town,
is doubtless good one, yet the Free
Press is of the opinion that Mr..
Haynes suggestion of following the
scheme of Olmstead county and get.
ting a stone crusher would lead to the
best results, especially if the plan
which we believe is followed there, of
appropriating out of county funds, a
sum not exceeding few hundred
dollars year, to any town raising a
like sum for road improVen 3nt.
the business men could secure the crush
ing of large amount of granite or any
other stone suitable for the purpose,
we do not believe there would be any
difficulty in getting the farmers in
terested so that their cooperation
could be obtained in hauling it out
where needed. This could be done
during the winter and piled up where
needed for use during the spring and
| summer. This would result in short
stretches of good roads being built in
different localities. If this work was
supplemented by aid from the county
and towns, it would result in many
miles of good road, not only in the
vicinity of Mankato, but out through
the county as we'll, Fifteen feet wide
is enough to build at first, and this
could be widened later no, if desired.
Then if the work was supplemented
with gravel for the cross and lesser
travelled roads,. it would prove most
beneficial. Every mile of good road
built in Blue Earth county benefits
Mankato indirectly if not directly,
and our business men should be inter
ested in the improvement of the roads
leading Immediately out of the city,
but for miles into the country as we'll,
and any aid they can render in per-
manently improving them will be
money we'll invested. The movement
suggested yesterday by the board of
trade ought not to 5e allowed to sleep.

cantaIoupe Competition. -.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 27.-Ar.
rangements have been made by the
Southern Pacific to place California
cantiloupes on the eastern markets
in competition with the Rocky Ford
melons. Superintendent r. H. In
graham has returned from India,
where he promises the Coachilla
Producers association that daily
service of refrigerator cars to run
east on passenger train schedule
time will be provided for transporta-
ton OF melons grown in the Coachil
la valley.
1T is expected that the shipment
this year will amount to 250 to 300
carloads. It is claimed that in the
Coschilla valley melons as sweet and
as we'll formed as the Rocky Ford
kind are grown and this year there
are between 700 and 800 acres OF
melons to be harvested. The Cali
fornia growers have an advantage oi
from four to six weeks over the Colo
RADIO competitors, the melons here
ripening that much earlier"
The California melons will not in
jure the prices for the Arkansas
valley melons any more than the
Texas melons did, and they wi
probably have to resort to the same
fraudulent method of advertising
them as Rocky Ford melons.

William Powell, an old Rocky Ford
melon grower, has started a canta.
loupe seed farm fifteen miles north
west OF Lamar. He will make the
Melted Gem speciality and in order
to keep the variety pure he has
planted a patch of ten acres of the
seed Of this variety selected some
years ago and which he knows to be
the best strain of the varlety's seed.
This patch is far away srom any
other patch raising cantaloupe and
SO minimizes the danger Of the
pollen being carried from one patch
to the other by the bees. He hopes
also to improve the strain which
seems almost impossible, for the pure
Melted Gem is Of such high grade as
to seem perfection.-Rocky Ford

Importance Of Irrigation.

Prot. Frederick Haynes Newell OF
the government geological survey,
who has devoted the past ten years
to most painstaken and exhaustive
scientific study of the subject of irri-
CATION as related to the reclamation
OF arid lands, is authority for the
statement that at least 40 per cent of
the total area of the Uuited States.
will require artificial watering for
successful agriculture.
As result of these Investigations,
Professor Newell has become one OF
the most ardent of the advocates OF
governmental intervention in the
management and control of future
irrigation projects. Private enter
prise, he concludes, has reached the
limits of its effectiveness in utilizing
the waters of the smaller streams,
but there still remain the great
mountain deposits of snow to be
conserved by immense reservoir sys.
TENS, as we'll as the larger rivers, the
control of which should be assumed
by the government. In this connec.
ton he calls attention to the fact
that while fully 100000 acres of
lands have been bought under high
ly profitable cultivation as result of
private irrigation projects, there are
still more than 1OO,0OO,OOO acres of
naturally fertile lands, now practi.
cally worthless from lack Of moisture,
which may easily be reclaimed by
the government.
"The possibility of this area as a
place for home builders and as a
market for manufacturing and job
bers," declares Professor Newell, "is
almost beyond estimate" He also
urges that the interests involved are
so vast and SO far. reaching in their
influence that the nation alone is
capable Of properly handling them
and AT conserving this practically
inexhaustible water supply through
forest reservoirs on the submits of
table mountains and through the
building of great valley and plain
reservoirs that are beyond the means
of private enterprise" To this end
it is suggested that the government
take immediate steps to protect the
sources of all waters, to the end that
they may ultimately be placed at the
disposal of the farmer.
Professor Newell is generally rec
ognized as a man OF sound and de
liberate Judgment and as the great
est living authority upon this and
kindred subjects. His earnest ad-
vocacy will therefore be Of great ma
terial assistance to the west in the
work of securing the reclamation of
its arid lands Denver Post.

Through Trains Will! Be Running Between the
 Two Points in Two Weeks.

Paschal R. Smith, of Deming, who is in town on business, says the Bisbee railway line will be completed by Feb ruary 10 to Deming, as construction is in progress from both ends. Trains will then run from Benson through Bisbee and Douglas to Deming. It is announced that trackage over the San ta Fe from Deming has been secured, and that the Bisbee trains will come to this city until the line from Dem ing can be built down the other side of the Rio Grande. Little is being done on this route, owing to injunctions in favor of theESouthern Pacific.
 Mir. Smith says the Bisbee will not get tracks lald to Fl paso for a year, but will come tO the city. The grad ing from lordsburg to Hachita is near ly finished and the steel will be laid before the end of March. This will connect Clifton and Morenci with the Bisbee and El Paso system.
 The Bisbee people Stoutly deny that they ever intended to delay construc- tion on the Fl Paso end, and assert that the Southern Pacific gossip to that effect was unwarranted. But complications as to a bridge and in functions make it necessary to deliver steel for the road at Deming and lay track from that end Fl PaSo News

Forty Dollars in Gold Washed From Three
 Pans of Gold

Jetl Lane returned to town yesterda, from Boundary Cone, where his part.
 ner, Tobe Wilkinson, last week made
 the discovery of gold in such marvel
 ouS quantities on one of their claims.
 as to excite the whole county. Mr.
 Lane brought with him bottle con
 talning four ounces of gold, forty dol
 lars of which was washed from about
 three pansful of sard, the rest was rocked out in an old rocker found near
 the claim. He brought also some sam. pies Of quartz taken from the ledge
 which show free gold in large pieces all through them. The ledge is very much decompOsed in one place and il is from there and from the sand at the foot of the ledge that they have washed the placer gold. The owners will begin extensive development work at once. and it is impossible to predict what degree Of richness the mine will open up, as it seems to be more than a mere pocket and 1t will proba. ply develop into one of the wonders of the territory. The origin of the old rocker found near the claim dates back many years. .-Kingman Arrow.
