used by each engineer is invariably charg-
ed to him, and reported to the general of
flee where the percentage of his miles
to his coal and oil are figured out and
his rating registered accordingly.
A special sewer is also to be construct

which at present simply flows down

switches moreover are getting to be
equipped with switch lights and things
are generally getting into tiptop shape.

Hickory street has about been. compier-
ed by j. B. Nielsen & Co., needing only
some inside finish and plastering to rem
der it ready for use. The building will
without doubt be ready for occupancy
by the first of next month. The brick
paved platform edged with cement curb
ing still remains to be constructed, but
this will be done directly by the Milwau-
kee company itself and the material is
within easy reach.
The present Great Western depot at
Maple and Rock streets will continue
in use for the freight traffic under the
management of Agent Barr until the
new Great Western freight depot behind
the glass block has been completed. 1t
is expected that a new passenger agent
will attend to the passenger traffic of
both roads at the union depot.
The contract for the new Great West
ern freight depot has been let to Thomas
Brady of st. Paul. The depot will be a
one story brick structure 2Sxl54 feet, and
will cost $4,000. This too is to be rush
job, the intention being to complete the
building this year.
After the completion of both the pas
senger and freight depots the present
Great Western depot will probably be a
store house for which purpose it would
be well adapted after the removal of the
interior walls.

w. H. Tidland returned last Satur-
day night from Albert Lea, where he has
been looking over the work done on
bitches with dredging machines with a
view to doing similar work in Blue Earth
county. The steam dredge which he in
tends to have made for work on his
county jobs in Medo, Danville and else
where he expects to have at work early
next spring as soon as the ground is
thawed out sufficiently to allow a
dredging crew to go to work. In some
parts of Medo he says land that is now
almost or quite worthless can be made
worth $40 to $50 per acre by the expendi-
ture of about nine dollars per acre for
drainage.

house that burned here last spring.
!. j. Olson & Son of Red Wing, to
whom the contract for the new round
house on the site of the old has been
let, are expected early this week to have
large force of workmen on the spot
to begin work. The stone for the foun-
dation and for the walls of the engine
pits has already been ordered from the
Mankato Lime and Stone company. Four
engine stalls will be provided in the new
round house necessitating building
covering space of about 80x50 feet. The
superstructure will be entirely frame. In
Guided in the same contract is a one
story office building l6x30 feet to be
built on the same block. The Olsons ex-
pect to have both these structures finish
ed and ready for occupancy after three
or four weeks.
Further improvements in this same
block are to follow next spring and sum-
mer. A large water tank is to go up
whereby the engines will be watered
from the contents of the city's soft water
main. The water at present used is
from the Great Western we'll and is much
harder and less adapted for steam max
ing purposes than that which the city
has to sell from its own soft water well.
The Northwestern has for some time
past been buying this water from the city
for its engines and finds the results ex-
cellent. The Milwaukee and Great West
ern are tired of using the hard water
which unless well mixed with soda ash,
very expensive article, is bound to
cause a highly injurious and very dan
gerous coating of stone to gather on the
inside of the boilers of the engine.
An elevated railway will also be con-
structed for the coaling of the engines.
Weighing hoppers with the capacity of a
half ton each will be used to measure
the amount dumped into each tender
and the amount charged as usual to the
engineer. At present the amount taken
out by each engineer is reckoned only by
knowing the capacity of his tender, nec-

He Says It Is Trne as Gospel, So
We Must Believe Him.
The following story is told by
the Rev. Harvey Cofer, of Psrkers-
burg, who says it is true as gospel:
Several days ago J.4W. Balsley,
who conducts dairy on the South
Side, encountered fiat-headed vi
per. about two feet long, which be
dispatched with club. No sooner
had he killed the reptile until little
snakes began wriggling out of the
old snakes mouth. and they, too,
were killed as soon as they made
their appearance. There were 96
of them from three to six inches in
length. Two other persons were at
the killing and assisted in the
count. Its rather a big snake
story, but it is true, and no affida-
Wits are necessary in this case.
1t is well known fact that in
times of danger the brood of little
snakes will disappear down the
throat of the mother snake.

Pope Plus x.

On the seventh ballot by the
college of cardinals last week.
Joseph Sarto, an eminent italian
eccIesiastic, was eleefs ed pope in
succession to Leo XIII He has
long been recognized as one of the
learned men of the church and
distinguished as a pulpit orator as
well as administrator. He has
been friendly with the italian
government, and the election was
received with great demonstration
of enthusiasm by the Roman
people In the centers of Eu-
ropean political action the election
of Cardinal Sarto was also received
with general satisfaction. He is
held not to be radical or re-
dictionary. but pontiff who will
continue the conservative and
peaceful policy of Leo XIII. All
this is naturally said, and, of
course, in the absence of any au.
thoritatiye declaration by the pope.
Invested with supreme power. the
pope no one accepts as dictatorial
or arrogant ruler. That is against
the traditions of his exalted office.
The pope rules by conference and
consultation, and on all the great
concerns of his office he has the
advice of able and experienced
perlates. As before the election,
it was perdicted that the new
pontiff would pursue much the
same course as that adopted by
Leo with such manifold advantage
in harmonizing all conflicts and
maintaining and strengthening the
wonderful fabric of ecclesiastical
and church government of which
he is the head.
There were little speculation and
narrative as to the personality OF
the pope compared with others
more conspicuous as candidates
or aspirants His was one of the
improbable names. He is sixty.
eight years of age. native OF
Northern Italy, and some ten
years ago succeeded to the i'm.
portant ecclesiastical position OF
patriarch of Venice, where the
church interests have prospered
under his direction.
