LAKE COUNTY'S SALT
INDUSTRY EXTENSIVE

The Oregon Potash company is
building dyke two miles long across
an arm of Summer lake, in Lake
county. according to the statement
made by an exchange. The area of
the bay cut off by-this dyke is over
two thousand acres. An acre of
water to an average depth of one foot
when evaporated leaves over fifty tons
Of salt This immense vat of two
thousand acres will produce over one
hundred thousand tons Of salt in a
season.
The several salts, sulphate Of pot
ash, bicarbonate of soda, carbonate
of soda. sulphate of soda. silica, and
common table sal: are separated from
each other BY the process of frac-
tional capitalization. The big vat
will be used only for condepsing,
and In 1t about seven. .eighths of the
water will he eliminated by evapora-
tion. CrystalizinQ watts will be built
next summer.
John Z. Reid. an expert chemist
and member Of the American lnsti-
tute of Mining engineers, will have
charge of this part of the work. Mr..
Reid Is vice prsident OF the Oregon
Potash company, and has been asso.
ciated with Mr.. Sain in the enter.
prise from the start. With the com
ing of spring similar works will be
built at Lake Albert.
The one thing that Is needed to
put these salts on the market and
give employment to hundreds of men
In Lake county Is railroad transpor.
tation. The only product that can
be marketed under present conditions
is the bicarbonate Of soda, or the com.
mon baking coda. Mr.. Sain expects
to ship thousand tons of this soda
next summer and fall. 1t will be
hauled to Bend II the railroad
reaches that point, and II not. 1t will
be taken to Madeline. In the manu-.
facture Of this soda, common table or
stock salt, will be formed az by
product, enough to supply the local
market. Before the carbonate Of
soda can be marketed IL must be cal.
cined, aud furnaces for this purpose
will be commenced next summer.
At the present, MIR. Sain aud c. II.
Keith, who Ia assisting him, are put
ting In their time on the dyke across
the Summer lake bay. They have
now completed four hundred feet. Of
the three thousand feet Of dyke
necessary to separate the bay from
the main body of the lake.

MCLEARY BIDS DEFIANCE,
Says the Postal System Is Al! Wrong
--.Ais Speech.


The st. Paul Dispatch of last evening
prints telegram from Washington
which reads as follows:
Congressman McCleary delivered a
speech this afternoon on postoffice mat
tiers. He had prepared his statement
carefully and showed by tables the exact
conditions prevailing in his district.
''The fact that McCleary occupied con-
siderable space in the Overstreet report
and that he takes issue with that pub
LEGATION, and the further fact that he
has been summoned before the special
investigating COMMITTEES, made his re-
marks interesting.
''Mr. McClearv contends that the sys-
tenn prevailing In the department is
wrong; that congressman have to fight
for what they get; that department
chiefs think it a great concession to do
something for members, and that more
than twenty postmasters in his district
are paying postoffiee clerk hire from
their own pockets. McCleary said that
so long as he stays in congress he will
continue to do just as he has done, and
will neither cater nor cringe to any de-
partment in Washington"

AROUSES SOME CURIOSITY.
st. Paul Railroad Men Speculate Over
New Railroad Project.
From ThursdaV's Dailv

/ AAShi .
| st. Paul, March list. Paul railroad
men who have been studying the recent
activity of the new Minnesota Central
which projects line from Albert Lea
through rich agricultural country to
st. Cloud, and thence through country
which is rapidly being settled to the
head of the lakes, are convinced that
the new line will form link between the
Illinois Central's present terminus at Al
bert Lea and Duluth. In the same con-
nection is mentioned the new line in Wis
consin, which will extend the Illinois
Central's branch line from Freeport to
Madison on to Green Bay, where connec-
tons with the lake freight lines can be
secured.
The Minnesota Central directors have
held two sessions within ten days, at
both of which explicit denials were en-
tered with connection with any exist
ing line whatever was suggested. These
denials were taken with liberal grain
of salt, because of the fact that there is
no demand for line covering the Cen
trails survey, unless supported by other
lines extending to commercial centers.
The Minnesota Central survey has been
followed by the definite location of line
which, except for Duluth, does not enter
a city of more than 10000.
The line will run from Albert Lea
north via Freeborn, Vivian and Freedom
tor, South Haven, Luxembourg and Rock
vile to st. Cloud, thence in a northeast
erly course via Rice's, Buchanan, Nest
awae, Finlayson, Moose Lake to Duluth.
On the section of line, as located, be-
tween st. Cloud and Duluth, practically
have the projected construction, it touch
es but four towns, all of which are small.
The line from Albert Lea, to Duluth
passes through but three points, Manka-
to, Glencoe and st. Cloud, which are now
important shipping points.
st. Paul railroad men are unable to
understand the wisdom which prompts
the construction of railway which con-
meets points of secondary Importance
and runs through but half dozen cities
and villages which could contribute traf-
fic. In the face of this comes the posi-
tive declaration that active construction
work will begin Immediately and that
section of the line, from Mankato to st.
Cloud, will be built this summer. Aside
from the eastern men on the beard of di
rectors the other members are unidenti
fed with other railway enterprises.
The Illinois Central's desire to obtain
entrance to Duluth with freight line is
we'll known The fact that the survey
does not touch the twin cities is explain
ed by the statement that the Central's
present arrangements for entering the
cities are satisfactory and that since it is
not factor of Importance in the st.
Paul Chicago situation, it can best OBJ
tain its ends by building to the head Of
the lake a line which will provide a main
collecting and distributing artery.

From Wednesdays Daily.

Thomas Smith, Ole Paulson and Nels
Anderson, the three delegates elected at
last Saturday nights Republican caucus
held in the primary school room, all at
tended the Republican Nicollet county
convention held yesterday afternoon in
the district court room in the Nicollet
county court house at st. Peter. The
convention was called to order by G. A.
Blomberg Jr., chairman of the county
committee, and clerk of the court of
Nicollet county, at two o'clock. He an
nounced the object of the convention, to
elect twelve delegates to represent the
county at the Republican convention
of the third congressional district to be
held the next day at Faribault; and to
elect twelve more to represent the coun-
ty at the state Republican convention to

Blomberg was chosen chairman of the
convention and Ed Olson of Nicollet was
made secretary. The usual committees
on credentials, resolutions, etc., were ap-
pointed, and retired to do their work

the delegates responded to calls for a
speech while the convention was waiting
Amundson, the st. Peter dry goods
man, rendered vocal solo, "Under the
Bamboo Tree"
The resolutions that were reported and
adopted strongly endorsed Theodore
Roosevelt's nomination for president of
the United States and the delegates to
both the district and state convention
were instructed to do all they could to
help insure his nomination. The resolu-
tions also warmly commended the course
that Congressman G. R. Davis had taken
in pushing the bill to allow bridges along
the upper course of the river.
The committee appointed to select
the lists of delegates consisted of five
delegates, one from each commissioner
district Nels Anderson served as the

WILL DEVELOP QUARRlEs.
General MideiI Is interested in a New
UIm Enterprise.
From Thursdays DaiIV

| Unless all indications fail it would
seem that considerable progress will be
made this summer toward developing one
of New Ulm's natural resources. The
concern which is to expand and enlarge
its operations is the New Ulm Stone
company and the plans of its STOCKHOLM
ers provide for considerable activity at
| the Redstone quarries this season. A
practical stone man, General Gustaf Wi
dell of Mankato, has recently acquired an
interest in the company and he will as
sist in carrying out several ideas which
have been projected for number of
years.
General Widell visited New Ulm Sun
day and drove out to Redstone with Jos.
A. Eckstein, secretary of the company.
He examined the localproperty thorough
ly and what he found evidently impress
ed him with possibilities of working the
quarries on, large scale. He gave the
local men to understand that he agreed
with their opinion that the industry
could be developed and expressed will
ingness to advance his cooperation.
Officers of the company have for
years been aware of the fact the side
track facilities were necessary in order
to work the quarries to advantage and
for sometime they have figured upon
installing stone crusher at Redstone.
Both these plans met with the approval
of General Widell and he was greatly
impressed with the idea of the crusher.
The New Ulm stone has a harder and
more brittle composition than that at
either Mankato or Kasota and for that
reason it is regarded as possessing better
lasting qualities. When crushed it will
make an excellent paving material and
the Mankato man stated that there
would be no difficulty in finding a mar
ket.
At the annual meeting Monday after
noon, therefore, he was elected as one
of the officers. Otto Schell was made
president; Gustaf Widell, vice president;
Jos. A. Eckstein, secretary; Herman
Nagel, treasurer. Negotiations will be
opened at once with the North Western
for siding and the crusher will be put
in this year.-New Ulm Review

Wrestling Match at MankatO Theatre
Next Monday Night.
From Thursda iva nailu

If all reports can be relied upon a
number of wrestlers will be in Mankato
Monday night to witness the match that
is to take place at the theatre between
McClain and Cords. 1t is said that Nc
Claim is whirlwind, and although he is
more than twenty pounds lighter
than his opponent he will give Cords
fast go" There will be several
wrestlers on hand to challenge the win
ner. The friends of Cords will back
him with all the money they possess,
having implicit confidence in his ability
to win
As yet no one has been selected for
referee. This position is delicate one
and no man who is acquainted with the
art of wrestling cares to take it for the
reason that so much dissatisfaction has
always resulted from the decisions of the
persons who have acted in that capacity.
However, Manager Griebel will use his
best endeavors to secure a referee in
whom the wrestlers and the audience will
have confidence,
