For four years he has been vice presi-
dent of the council, and as chairman Of
the street committee has had to get about
over the city a great deal.
Mr.. Taylor is well known among the
Elks over the northwest and seldom
misses a function in that order. His per-
sonal popularity helped him into the may
or's chair, as Mankato is republican city,
and that party's candidate was A. G.
Meyer, one of the best known business
men in the city and a man Of wealth.
Mr.. Taylor stood for public improve
ments, with the consent of the property
owners when they are willing to give it,
and regardless Of their consent where
necessary. He helped pave mile OF
street with asphalt last year against the
opposition Of a majority Of the property
owners, but public opinion upheld the i'm
provement. These property owners made
a special fight against Mr.. Taylor on this
| ground, but their attitude did not affect
| the result.
Mr.. Taylor is a young man and has ar
interesting family. He Is engaged in bust
| ness.

1t is considered very doubtful II the
United States Steel Corporation buys the
mills and mines of the Jones & Laughlins
interests, the price for which is under
stood to be about ss0.0O0,Oo0. Jones &
Laushlins, contrary to general opinion,
among eastern iron and steel men, have
very small ore reserves, in comparison
with others, and If any sale Is to be made
it must be for other reasons than to set
It's ore mines.
On the contrary it is confidently expect
ed that the sale Of the Snyder Oliver
Congdon- Tener properties to the Steel
Corporation will be made in due time.
These are large ore holdings, and are OF
great value. They are the largest hold
