sion Of the legislature, was in the
city last Thursday and Friday, call
ing on his friends here Mr.. Arne-
son is part owner Of number of fine
improved farms ia Grant county,
and his mission here was to dispose

ident titled with Grant county for
many years and is thoroughly con-
versant with every acre Of land in
the county, which he regards equal,

wood county.
The material for the new steel
tower in this city commepced arriv
ing over the Minneapolis &St. Louis
roao during the early part Of last
week and the employees of the Chi
cago Bridge q Iron Co. are now
busily engaged at placing the vari-
Gus parts in position. 1t required
several cars to bring the material
from the company 5 factory at Rock
| Island to this place. The St. Louis
system, being portion of the Rock
Island route, secured the haul to
Red wood from Minneapolis. The
extra cost of carriage from North
Red wood to this city was quite an
item, but the st. Louis undoubtedly
made a freight rate to cover the
Eextra cost.

sensitive man and having been held
| responsible and criticised for differ
ent things done by Vanderbilt roads
he desires to take active control,
and shape his own policies. The
operating departments of the sew
eral Vanderbilt roads viii! be
strengthened, it is said, and high
salaried executive departments will
become thing of the past.
