WILL BE ENLARGED
Ia $50, 900 Improvement at the
Big Mill.
Building to Be Enlarged, Improve
ed Machinery Installed, and Cap
acity Made 5000 BbIs.

The Hubbard Milling company is
to make some important improve
ments on its plant during the coming
spring, having the result of doubling
the capacity of.the mill. The expend-
itures to be made will aggregate
$50, 900.
The present dynamo room is to be
entirely rebuilt and turned into an
engine room. That part of the build
ing will be extended to Front street.
while the entire southwest side will
be extended some fifteen or twenty
feet. to take in the coal elevator. The
latter was located where it is with
the view of later being enclosed with
in the walls of the building.
The power plant will be entirely re-
constructed. The six present boilers
will be replaced by four much larger,
high pressure boilers. Cross COM
pound, condensing engines will be put
| in, having 1000 horse power. The
new power plant will effect saving
of fuel, while doubling the horse
power. This will enable the capacity
of the mill to be doubled, bringing il
up to 5000 barrels day. This en-,
larged capacity will be utilized as
rapidly as the business of the com
pany will warrant it.
The present : smokestack will be
torn down and new one erected, 15C
feet high, and having six-foot fue.
The present stack is ITO feet high and
has a three-foot fue.
Chas. Bishman of this city has been
awarded the contract to enlarge the
building and put up the new smoke
stack.
Mayer Bros. of this city have the
contract for making the new boilers,
and the Minneapolis Steel and Ma
chinery company has the contract for
furnishing the new engines. AS
much of the work as possible will be
done at home, putting most of the
money in ciculation in local channels.
The enlarglng of the capacity OF the
mill has been under consideration for
long time, and the point has now
been reached when the plan will be
carried out. This mill is one of the
business institutions of which Man,
karo has right to be proud. With
the strong competition On every hand,
it speaks we'll for the management Of
the mill that it's business has grown
to such an extent that the enlarged
capacity is possible. The management
realizes that in order to stay in the
race constant Improvement is neces
sary, and everying that will cheaper
production helps by that much.

MAYOR SAID NO
Horse Racing Not Permitted
on Broad Street.
Citizens Made Complaint Against the
Use of tn, Street for Such
Purposes.

The horse races announced by the
Mankato Driving association to take
place on Broad street last Friday
did not come off, Mayor Petersen
was the means Of calling off the races,
as he gave the Police instructions this
morning TO prevent any racing being
done on Broad street. on the ground
that it was violation of the city or
dinance, which makes it unlawful
and punishable by fine or imprison-
ment to drive fast on any of the
streets of the city.
The mayor stated that members OF
the Driving association who approach
ed him on the subject represented that
the rse of the street was wanted for
a couble of hours in order to have an
exit Etion of horses He did not sup
nose that there was to be any racing
in injection with it, or he would not
hav given his permission. The ordi-
nan je forbade it. anyway.
/ is understood that one or more
res dents on Broad street lodged pro-
tes against the racing with the
mt Bor last Thursday. There we're also
III by complaints about it to the
po Iioe last evening, and Officer Daniels
| called up the mayor by telephone this
morning and asked him whether it
was true he had given permission to
hold the races on Broad street, as re-
ported in the papers. He replied by
giving the police orders to prevent
any racing. The officer communicated
this to the officers of the Driving asso-
citation, who in turn notified the
members.
While the races were called off on
Broad street, the horsemen decided to
hold the races in North Mankato, on
the ice on Mud lake, or elsewhere.
One ground for complaint against
using Broad street for racing purposes
was the fact that the Union school
and the German Lutheran school
would have their afternoon recess and
would let out during the hours of the
racing, turning 400 to 900 children
on the street. many of them very
small. To allow horse racing on the
street, with no barrier between the
race track and the sidewalk except a
low curbing, would endanger the
safety of these children. it was felt.
A horse was liable to bolt the track at
any moment, as accidents frequently
occur at races that are not looked for.
Other grounds for complaint heard
were that the street belongs to the
public, and is much used, and to
have racing there would annoy if not
discommode ladies and old people de-
string to cross the street
One objection raised to the paving
of Broad street was that it would be
used as speedway for driving horses.
To have allowed the races on it would
have been to prove that this objection
was well founded.
The members of the association tooE
mayors order in different spirits.
President Ed. Weaver said that the
order was proper, and that permission
to use the street should never have
been granted. He was not in favor Of
racing on that street The Other
members acquiesced more or lesI
gracefully, and the committee on 6
permanent racing track will endeavo
to find location as soon as possible

A River in Two states.

Two sovereign states, Colorado and
Kansas, are now before the supreme
court of the United States in quar-
rel which promises to be one OF TAR
reaching Importance. 1t involves the
relations between the states and OF the
states to the federal government. and
Is about a river. Does a state nave
right TO use the waters Of a river
having its source in that state for pur-
poses Of irrigation until the stream is
practically diverted from neighbor-
ing state into which it naturally fiows2
Two years ago Kansas filed bill in
equity in the supreme court asking
that Colorado be enjoined from divert
| ing the waters of the Arkansas river.
This river rises in the Rocky Noun
tains In Colorado. and. after flowing
800 miles through that state enters
Kansas. where II flows nearly 800 miles
through a valley Of 100000 acres. in
which live 50. $50 farmers and about the
same number of people in the towns
along the banks of the river. The usu-
al rainfall in the valley is insufficient
TO provide moisture for crops, wells
and cattle, SO that the inhabitants are
largely dependent upon the waters of
the Arkansas Colorado has largely
diverted the waters of the river for ir-
rigation purposes to her own farms,
nd intends to divert a much larger
quantity in the future.
The answer OF Colorado to the bill
asking for an injunction denies that
Kansas has any interest or rights in
the stream, and that the appropria-
tions of water complained Of were
made in accordance with the doctrine
respecting the appropriation of the
water of the natural stream for bene-
| in the arid regions of the United States
| 1t is further claimed that Kansas Is
seeking to maintain a suit for the re-
dress of the wrongs of individual citi-
zens. while it possesses no sovereignty
which entities it to bring a suit for
this purpose. The fact that the de-
rnurrer of Colorado to the bill was
oyerrul d By Chief Justice Fuller and
the case assigned for arguments on its
merits is regarded as significant OF q
purpose to give Kansas full and com
plete hearing. The decision is awaited
with interest by constitutional law
yers and by the people of other states
that are engaged in diverting the wa
| tiers of streams for irrigation pur-
1 poses.
