ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

Editors Free Press: In Monday e
issue of The Free Press you editorially
urged that the proper authorities take
up the proposition to expend public
money on what is known as the Eagle
Lake road into the city, proposition
which has been before the public for
some time. As one who is we'll ac-
quainted with the condition of the
roads entering the city from the east
and south at all times of year, I wish
to suggest thing or two TO the au-
thorities for reflection. Of course the
purpose of such expenditure would be
to make the highways over which
trade and produce come to the city
more serviceable, and more easily
travelled at all times of year, especially
by those hauling heavy loads of
produce If this is the purpose, and
can think of no other, then there are
roads worthy of far more solicitude
than the said Eagle Lake road. will
venture to assert that there is thous-
and fold more produce and trade
comes into the city during each year
over either the st. Clair road or the
Pohl road than over the Eagle Lake
road. and anyone who has travelled
them can point out places in them
within three or four miles of the city
that are harder to travel in spring
time, or in very wet weather in the
summer and fall, than any place on
the Eagle Lake road. I do not main
tain put what money can be spent to
advantage on the highway running to
Eagle Lake. but when the purpose
which prompts this move is kept in
mind it is not entitled to the same
consideration as the other two high
ways named, or even the poor farm
road. The trade and traffic that
Mankato now gets by travel over
the country roads comes largely over
these three roads and the road run
ming northerly toward Lake Washing
ton, and from Nicollet county. The
comparison above made as to the rela-
tive amount of travel over these roads
my seem unreasonable, but investiga
tion will show that there is at least
one thousand pounds of produce comes
into the city over the Pohl road or the
st. Clair road to every one pound that
comes in on the Eagle Lake road.
Then why not give these highways
the benefit of the funds2
W. R. GEDDES.
|. The Free Press does not dispute the
points raised by Mr.. Geddes. Nearly
all the highways into Mankato need
fixing The Free Press advocated the
improvement of the Eagle Lake road
as a starter and still hopes that the
business man of Mankato will urge
upon the authorities the need of such
Improvement. The Free Press will
not object to the expenditure of money
on other poor roads leading into Man
kato.
The Free Press is of the opinion
that should the Eagle Lake road be
improved more people from out in the
direction of Madison Lake and be-
yond would come to Mankato to do
their trading.

A BIG REGISTRATION

There has been great activity at Re
publican headquarters during the past
two days and today, the rooms are
kept filled the whole time. Fourth
and Fifth District leaders may be
found at the long table in the Central
Committee room. busy with the work
OF searching their lists for men who
have not yet registered, and sending
messengers in every direction to
round up the delinquents.
Throughout the morning. reports
were sent every half hour from the
headquarters OF the Board of Registra.
ton and, as fast as the names of those
who had registered were received,
they were checked from the list. This
work will go on throughout the day, so
that by nightfall, nearly every voter
who has not registered will have been
gathered in.
The registration this forenoon was
G.32j and when the Board has com.
pleted its work at o'clock tonight. II
Is estimated that the grand total of
$500 or more will have been reached,
This will make an increase of 900
votes over the record of registration
OF two years ago.
In the neighborhood of 20 votes have
been held up" during the sessions OF
the Board OF Registration and these
will be passed on tonight. 1t is
thought that some Of these will pass
muster.
The Fourth District Committee has
demonstrated what can be done by
good. hard plugging and by the efforts
OF the managers, there has been an
average OF 90 registrations day from
that district for the past four days.

Sugar Stock Is
LOOKING UP
All Along Line

just see what a great difference there
will be.
Take Eva as one of the best plan
tations. Her last crop of $4,000 netted
not over $50 a ton. Next year with
sugar at s65, which will came as re-
suit of the shortage in the German beet
sugar crop, the advance over this year
will be S534.OOO which means almost a
~ per cent dividend.
There has been considerable talk
on the streets to the effect that the ca
BILE would not bring about much good
for the Islands and | have been one
who has shared this view to some eX-
tent. On account of recent events, !
have changed my mind altogether and
! now see that we will be vastly ben
Gifted.
IF we had had the cable to bring
us the news of the German beet sugar
crop, things might have been different.
Take, for instance, in the case OF EVA.
II we could have secured the informa-
ton a little earlier, there might not
have been dropping of the stock 10
SIS and there might not have been a
cutting down OF the dividends"
