The Mapleton Enterprise learns from
The Brownton Bulletin that there is
something doing relative to securing a
line of railway from Mankato to Du-

survey on a north and south railroad.
The first line will be run direct from
New Auburn by the way of Gaylord and
Nicollet terminating at Mankato The
distance on this line of survey will be
about fifty miles and Mr. Dieter expects
that it will take him at least two months

MAKES A GOOD SHOWING.
MapIeton Cooperative Creamery Holds
Its Annual Meeting.
rom Friday's Daily


The annual meeting of the Mapleton
co operative creamery was held on Mon
day morning at the opera house, the
attendance being unusually large. For
time it looked as if there would be
considerable feeling expressed over the
strife for the position of secretary but
better Judgment prevailed and matters
will continue to move on smoothly.
Secretary Stroebel as usual presented
very complete report giving the bust
ness of the association in detail. From
Mr.. Stroebel's figures we are able to note
that olemargerine must have had some
effect in boosting prices, as the price re-
ceived for butter in New York the past
wear has been the best received in years,
the average price being 241a cents per
pound.
The local creamery received from pa
irons during the year total OF 2,95l ,S25
pounds of milk containing l0S,5 pounds
of butter fat for which the patrons were
paid S23,Sl5.77 or on the basis of about
81 cents per 100 pounds of milk. The
average test was 3.6S, and the cost of
making the butter was PA cents per
pound. \ total of LIS tubs of butter
were shipped each containing 60 pounds.
The average price of butter fat was 2l.S.
The total amount received for butter was
S27 .554.99 of which amount the patrons
paid S3,O7444 for the l4,0S3 pounds
which they consumed and 1920 pounds
was sold to merchants for village con-
sumption for Sl,OlS.42. The running eX-
penses of the creamery were $2,657.S6, the
largest item of expense being $50 paid
to buttermaker, tubs cost SAILS, coal
S4O23O. An item of expense that is also
noticeable is that of freight and commits
sion amounting to S2,375.5S.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are Charles Wishart, president; B.
F. Taylor, vice president; William Stree
bel, secretary. There were three candi-
dates for secretary and a ballot resulted
il the choice of William Stroebel by an
overwhelming vote. There was also a
contest ever the treasurership, the State
Bank securing the honor by vote of IS
to l6 for the First National. The direc-
tors chosen were Judd Cornell, Henry
Leiferman ST., w. L. Mcqueen, Amiel
Prohl, VIM. Milliken, Alex McGregor
Emiel Minkel and j. c. Morris.
The creamery is in excellent condition
and doing a fine business, the butter
always commanding above the market in

FIXED A WAGE SCALE
Omaha Company Increases the Pay Of
Its Employees Along Lines.
New Schedule Is Same as in Effect
on Other Roads.
From Fridays Daily.

A circular has been issued from the
office of General Superintendent w. c.
Winter of the Omaha line announcing
the new wage schedule for trainmen and
yardmen. The circular is in reply to the
demand of the men last winter for an
increase in pay and it is issued at this
time as the result of the settlement made
some time ago with the Northwestern
at Chicago. The general committees of
the Omaha employees were in st. Paul
last January and had several conferences
with Mr.. Trenholm, who was then GEN
eral superintendent of the Omaha sys-
tenn. The conferences were discontinued,
however, the understanding being that
the Omaha would settle with its men on
the same basis as other Chicago lines.
The Omaha agrees to pay the Chi
cago scale to the yardmen in the princi-
pal yards of the company, including
those at st. Paul, Minneapolis, Elroy,
Itasca, Washburn, Ashland, Sioux City
and Omaha. The Chicago scale is 80
cents an hour for night foreman, 80
cents for night helpers, 81 cents for day
foremen and % cents for day helpers.
The scale agreed upon at the Altoona,
Mankato and st. James yards is l cent
an hour less than the Chicago scale /;
and at the Hudson, Eau Claire, Spring
Valley and Worthington yards the
agreed scale is 2 cents less than the
Chicago scale.
Trainmen in the freight service will
be paid an increase of Is per cent and
passenger trainmen an increase of IL
per cent. Men in mixed service will be
paid an increase of Is per cent
The question of double-header trains
has not been adjusted.

Buttermakers' Picnic Proves Success
From Every Point Of View.
AT Least Two Thousand People Enjoy
Festivities of the Day.
Speechmaking, Ball Game, Races,
Dancing and Sweet Music.
They All Contribute to Make Up a
Most Entertaining Program.
From Fridays Daily.

IIOlu I4Iuds Od4ls'
More than 1000 people enjoyed the
hospitality of that beautiful and enter
prising village, Lake Crystal, yesterday,
it being the occasion of the buttermak-
ers' picnic. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that all those who were fortunate
enough to be there had most enjoy
able time. There were many features
of great interest on the program. In
the forenoon a parade was formed and
marched to the park where addresses
were made by men who are well versed in
buttermaking. Among those who made
a speech was Mr.. Slater of Fairmont.
A picnic dinner was enjoyed by the
hosts who gathered at the tables. The
butter tests were made. There We're nine
teen entries. The Lily creamery of Lake
Crystal and Linden creamery in Brown
county were tie, testing 951a each.
One of the best and most entertaining
events of the day was ball game be-
tween a st. Paul team and the high
school nine of Lake Crystal. The Lake
Crystal boys won and this was enough
TO give the local fans" license to cele-
brate. The score was eight to five. DR..
Warham of Vernon Center was umpire
and he proved very satisfactory, especial
1y to the lads who held down the 'bleech-
ers". They generally find more fault
with an umpire's decision than the play
ers do.
There were horse and mule races. In
the first horse race John Hammonds
swift one from Madelia was the winner.
John Jones' horse came in second. The
mule race resulted in victory for Bum
Williams animal. Fred Fuller's was Sec
Ond. Foot races and other sports prov
ed very interesting and at the same time
exciting.
The days festivities were brought to
a close with a dance, band concert and
other pleasures.
Lake Crystal has happy faculty OF
making people feel at home when they
visit there
