HE REDUCES PRICE
|. A. PeIton Will Sell Slough
Property.
He Offers His Land at $500 to $12O

Similar Offer.

Gently made price of $500 for his
large tract, when approached by the
committee OF the council The alder
men considered this much too high,
and thought that 500 an acre would
be fair price to pay.
Mr.. Pelton stated to The Free Press
reporter today that he was willing to
take 500 an acre for the slough prop
erty. provided the lake did not over
flow his good land along the shore. If
this land was overfowed, he would
want $3.50 an acre for all the land,
and would subscribe 500 or more to-
ward the purchase price of the slough.
A. R. Pau Sr. has four acres in the
slough. which he values at 5000 each
He would take 500 an acre for the
land in case the slough was turned in
to lake, with the understanding that
he could get the land back in case the
lake was ever abandoned. This land
is partly hay land and is partly used
for garden purposes.
IT the entire slough was to be pur-
chased at 500 an acre, the cost would
be $l5, 600 A couple of artesian wells
would cost about $1,000 each. If the
LeSueur river could be brought down,
a dam would have to be constructed
and the water power could be rent
ed to private parties by the city or
could be used to operate an electric
lighting plant.
Mr.. Pau does not think it practical
BILE to turn the slough into lake.
He is in favor of building twelve
foot dam at the mouth of the Blue
Earth river. which would make a
lake two miles long and a quarter of
a mile wide or more. A suspension
bridge could be built from Sibley
mound to the mound across the Blue
Earth The water power from the
dam could be sold or used to operate a
municipal electric lightingp liant.
The land along the Blue Earth river
that would be flooded by forming a
lake there is practically worthless, as
it is mostly sand and gravel

A LIVE QUESTION
Railroads Want to Narrow the
River Bed.
Chicago, & North-W Western Road Wants
an Additional twenty-five Feet
Along the River Front.

G. N. Andrews, president of the
board of trade, has received letter
from A. L. Goetmann, assistant di-
vision superintendent of the Chicago
& Northwestern road in which he
refers to the proceedings of the last
meeting of the board in the matter
of the narrowing of the Minnesota
river bed at this point to provide ad-
ditional facilities for the railroads.
Mr.. Goetmann says:
1t may not be known to your body
that we have been very sadly cramped
at Mankato for yard facilities and
that we have been expanding large
sums of money at other points to pro-
vide facilities which legitimately be-
long to your city. We should have an
additional twenty-five feet along the
river for practically the entire dis
lance through Mankato and can as
sure you that anything which you
may do towards securing from the
war department the necessary per-
mission to fill along the river will
meet with the grateful appreciation
of every railroad running through
your city.
Kindly advise me the position
which your board will take on this
subject, since it will enter into the
very largely for future
in Mankato -
This is an important matter. and
the board of trade and citizens should
take it up with the war department
through Congressman McCleary. The
first span of the Minnesota ri yer
bridge should be taken up and
the bank filed in to the second span.
This would give ample railroad facili-
ties for years to come, thing that is
greatly neened.

matter. Now let it carry
it through, with the aid of the citi-

The Weather Caused a Falling Off in
Trade.

1t is seldom that Christmas is as
cold as it was Thursday. The mercury
fell to fifteen degrees below zero in
the morning, with wind blowing.
At night was even colder, the
lowest point reached being twenty
degrees, but the absence of wind made
the cold more bearable.
The day was as quiet as Sunday on
the streets, the stores ana offices being
closed There was the usual amount
of gift giving.
The merchants suffered somewhat
from the weather, which cut off
large farmers trade, but the city
trade was about as large as usual and
holiday stocks were greatly reduced.
The weather, which promised to be
perfect up to week ago., was such
that farmers living at a distance
