THE MAN WITHOUT RESERVE.

she had no reserve might be
written on the tombstone of many a
man who has failed in business and in
life. Without reserve man goes to
the wall when anything happens to
him. Like baby he is all right as
long as nothing comes in collision
with him to expose his weakness
With the reserve power of perfect
health that comes from drinking
Golden Grain Belt beer, a man is
strong enough to stand reverses. AS a
common phrase expresses it, she can
take his medicine without murmur. -
Such men inspire respect and win
success. This beer makes strong men
because it is pure and refreshing and
is brewed from the purest of barley

OUT ON THE SOUND.

The editor Of the Free Press return
ed from Seattle, Washington, Saturday
evening. This city of the Sound is
truly a pushing, progressive metropo-
lis. 1t has a population of over one
hundred thousand and it is almost
impossible to secure Office or residence
quarters There are now over five
hundred residences in process of erec-
ton, and we were told that every one
had been rented, and as many more
could readily find tenants
Seattle is made up largely of western
and middle west people. There are
hundreds of former Minnesotans re-
siding there and everybody seems to
be prosperous.
We had the pleasure of meeting a
large number of former Mankatonians
among whom were J. A. James, John
Sanborn, Harvey Williams, Harry
Shaubut, Manley Haynes, Dr. Ivan
Parry and Bert Robbins. Mr.. Robbins
has not fully determined what bust
nses he will engage in but is looking
around for something desirable. 1t is
pleasant to note that all are doing well
and are enthusiastic over the future
of Seattle.
Col Blethan, for many years editor
OF the Minneapolis Tribune, has su
perior newspaper plant, and is making
a fiattering success of the Seattle
Times. He has the most complete ant
up-to-date equipment to be found OF
the Sound, and, like all good news
papers, his is welding a great in
fuence in the development of the city

on the Sound and in Alaska is mos
hattering. Our local company, tn
Alaska Fish and Lumber Company, i

pany's interests in Seattle. Mr.. Car

WANTS A BUILDING.
Negotiations Still on for the Location
of a Ruu Factory.

J. B. Richards, secretary of the
Merchants Protective association, has
received a letter from Mr.. Dish q
partner, Mr.. Theopold, of Faribault,
in regard to the establishment OF a
rug factory in Mankato. 1t asks what
inducements the city has to offer.
Mr.. Richards has replied. saying
that suitable building would be
found for the factory.
The owner of the building at the
corner of Front and Poplar streets,
formerly occupied by the cracker fac
tory, asks too high a rental for the
rug people to pay, but Fowler & Pay
offer to erect a building for the fac
tory at rental within their figure
It is hoped that the matter will no
be allowed tc drop.

Before the street lighting contract
between the city and the company
was signed by the mayor and record
er, 1t was altered from the form in
which it was passed upon by the
council As signed, it provides that
active work on the street Car line
must be commenced within four
months and that there must be five
miles completed and in operation
within fifteen months. This binds the
street Car part of the deal a little
closer perhaps. yet there is question
what "active work" means If it
means the surveys. ETC., the COM
mencement of work on The lines can
be delayed for a year under the terms
of both franchise and contract. 1t is
probably the intention Of the company
however, to put in the Car line the
present season.
The point has been raised by an
attorney that under the wording OF
the franchise the city is bound to take
it's street lights from the company TO,
the full period of twenty years or else
go in darkness the last ten years o.. thu
life of the franchise. He says that thu
lighting of the city streets is not com
mercial lighting, and that only "com
mercial lighting and power" is ex
empted from the exclusive feature o
the franchise. He says that if Tn
franchise will stand the test of tn
courts, it means that the city canno
put in a municipal plant during tn
next twenty years, nor can .anothe
, company light the city streets afre
the city's ten year contract expires, a
the street Car company will have tn
exclusive right to do this. This wi
mean that the city will pay to til
company in the next twenty year
$3.50, 600 for street lighting, even if n
more lights are used than are no'
contracted for. This alone, he holds
will more than build the street ca
4 line-fve miles in the city and lin
to st. Peter.
1t is this genleman's belief that th
= Mankato Gas and Electric Light Ct
i will dispose of it's electric lightin
business to the new company, as col
mercial lighting plant would not pa
without the city lighting, when
many contracts for commercial igh
have been made. The old compan
, will then confne itself to--gss lighting
- He points to the equanimity of the o.
company under the circumstances
proof of such an intention.
-, Ali will hope that the gentlems
quoted is mistaken, and that b
rather gloomy fears will not be justii
ed by future events.
~ The new company is to be conductt
, by Mankato business men, who ha'
the welfare of the city at heart, al
the people have confidence in them.

Alderman Roeder wanted the ordinance
committed to the Water Committee for
action by that committee ~
+, Alderman Kohn was OF the opinion that
the Council could act at once as the
water department ought to lie run upon
basis of Justice and right: He said 1t
was wrong to charge full rate where

good reason for delay. --s'
Alderman Anderson said the matter
ought to lay over until the superintend-
ent of waterworks made mis- annual re-
port.
Alderman Toole favored Immediate ac-
ton. Montgomery, he said, Is the only
city In the South where the price is not
regulated so that the more water that Is

railway on the same street.
Alderman Rushton thought the Eordf-
nance carried all these regulations and
restrictions along with 1t and he thought
this addition all unnecessary and ought
not to be adopted with such an amend
ment without proper thought and care
Alderman Mcintyre said the purpose OF
the amendment was to prevent two tracks

the amendment a sensible and proper one.
Alderman Gunter thought the original
ordinance fully covered the point OF the
amendment, but 1t could do no harm.

were adopted.
The ordinance to reassess for paving or

and sidewalks therein named against the
