HOW IT is DONE.
Objections of Property Owners Do Not
Defeat Paving in St. Paul.

Objections of Property Owners Do Not
Defeat Paving in St. Paul.
1t appears that even in st. Paul there
are objections to paving streets, and that
paving is ordered in spite of the OBJ
jections.
The board of public works yesterday
decided to make favorable report on
the final order for the paving of Col
lege avenue with asphalt from Third
to Cedar, Notwithstanding the protest of
a large number of property owners. The
latter asserted that they would carry
the fight into the city council, contend
ing that there is little travel on the
thoroughfare and that the improvement
is not needed. The city engineer esti-
mated that the new pavement will cost
500, 40, or $5.O7 front foot.
The order for paving Bates avenue
with asphalt, from Seventh to Pine
streets, was taken under considerat ton,
and some of the property owners ar
gued in favor of postponing the improve
ment for at least year. A contract
was awarded for paving portion
of East Fourth street with sandstone.

LeRay Farmers Will Get Thirty Dollars

Iendy FARMERS WIFI Get ntrty DCiidTS
an Acre for Their Wheat.
From Wednesdays Daily.
John Anderson, chairman of the town
board of LIE Ray, was in the city to-
day He states that all of the grain liz
that section of the country has been cut,
and that half of the stacking is DONE
With good weather, all of the stacking
will be completed by Saturday night.
A good deal of threshing is being done,
as the farmers want to take advantage
of the good prices of wheat, fearing that
the price will soonff drop. The fields har-
vested thus far have yielded from TWEEN
ty-five to thirty bushels to the acre, and
it has all graded No. l northern.
Corn is looking fine, but it needs an
other month to mature it.
At the price paid for new No. north
ern wheat today, $1.O6, farmer who
raises as much wheat to the acre as the
LeRay farmers are harvesting would be
able to pay for farms at $50 an acre in
two years. This will make the farmers
stick to old Blue Earth, and should add
to the value of the land.

Found Winnipeg Thriving City, With
Beautiful Streets.
From Tuesdays Daily.
City Engineer Thompson and Aid.
Kleinschmidt returned from Win
nipeg at noon today, and Aids
Coy and Jorgensen returned on
the 8 p. m. train over the Mil
waukee road. They all had pleasant
trip, but have agreed among themselves
not to divulge anything relating to the
results Of their investigation into the
satisfaction given by the Acme asphalt
as paving material until the meeting
of the council Friday night, when a full
report of the trip will be presented.
The party were cordially received by
city officers of Winnipeg and accorded
every courtesy and facility for investi-
eating the paving question. Winnipeg
is a thriving city of 10000 and is quiet,
orderly, and yet progressive. The pub
lie utilities are government owned, in
Guiding water, lights, street car lines
and railways. Building permits to the
amount of 100000 have been issued
this year.
On Sunday there was not store open
and nothing of any kind sold. Even
the street cars do not run on Sunday,
and everybody goes TO church.
The streets are paved with asphalt,
no other kind of paving material being
used. The streets are in fine shape,
beautiful to the eye, and the pavements
stand the climate and all kinds of
heavy traffic. The people of Winnipeg
want no brick or other kind Of paving
than asphalt.
The party found difference between
the Acme and the Pitch lake asphalt,
but whether it was in favor of the one
or the other they will not at this time
divulge. They expect to be in a posi-
tion to make unanimous recommends
tion to the council Friday night.
The party obtained good deal of
general information on the paving ques-
tion that will be valuable to the. city,
and the trip was fruitful of good, and
the cost was well spent.

SURVEY DESIRED.
Good Roads Committee Urges This
fer Eagle Lake Road.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The good roads committee that went
into Mankato township yesterday to
consult with members of the town board
in regard to the improvement of the
Eagle Lake road met one of the MEM
bers. The committee urged that the
town board authorize the making of a
survey of the road, so that there would
be some general plan to work to. The
member said that he could not do any
thing until he had seen the other mem
bers of the board, which would not be
until Saturday.
1t is to be hoped that the township
authorities will act promptly and con-
tinue the road improvement, SO that this
much travelled road may be made one of
the best leading into the city instead of
one of the poorest. The city has COM
pleted its share of the work.

wheat crop in those states is going to
fall short of the earlier expectations.
"But | do not anticipate the price OF
wheat is going to fall much below a
dollar bushel. The Increased home
and the excellent foreign
demand are to combine to keep the price
up. Some Minnesota and North Dakota
farmers do not believe this and they are
selling against their crop for September
delivery. Commission men are even fur
nishing them the money with which to
their sales"
MIR. Murphy points out the interesting
fact that Southern Minnesota has gone
out of the wheat business to large ex-
tent. Diversified farming and the dairy
interests have been substituted for
wheat growing. Twenty-Five years ago
the center of the spring wheat belt was
at McGregor, Iowa. A few years later
it was at Red Wing, in this state. Now
it is 400 miles north of the latter point.

Predicted That Price Will Soar
Much higher.
From Wednesdays Daily.

One dollar and twelve cents was paid
for No. l, old wheat, on the Mankato
market today. This is not the highest
figure that was ever paid for the cereal
in this city, $l.l4 having been given for
new wheat a number of years ago. To-
day the price for new wheat on the To-
cal market was $l.06 for No. l, $l02 for
No. 2.
1t is predicted that wheat prices will
continue to soar higher until $l25 is
reached.
Those who were wise enough to pur-'
chase wheat when the price was way
down have had reason to congratulate
themselves on what they have made
since the rise commenced.
The farmer who held his wheat until
the present time is shaking hands with.
himself over his good fortune.

Since the opening of the new Agricul-
tural hall at the Minnesota state fair
grounds, few years ago, the agricul-
tural department has made rapid growth
and now bids fair to crowd out the hor-
ticultural division within a short time.
At this years fair the agricultural dis
play, proper, will be better than ever.
Special pains has been taken to adjust
the premium offers so as to make more
satisfactory division of the prizes for
county exhibits and also to encourage
farmers to make individual exhibits.
n. S. Gordon of Crookston is superin-
tendent of the agricultural division, and
A. w. Latham of Minneapolis. is in
charge of the horticultural department,
which is housed in Agricultural hall. The
state fair will open this year on August
Goth, continuing until September Sd.
Half fare rates are made on all rail-
roads.

/ She Is Destitute.
From Wednesdays Daily.
With a little boy to care for, her
health poor, the rent due and no other
place to go nor money in the house, a
woman in Mankato waits for tidings
from husband lost in Minneapolis.
The officials of the local carpenters
union received pathetic plea from her
last Saturday. Yesterday after care,
full search had proved unavailing, they
were forced to answer with confes-
sion that they were unable to relieve
her helplessness.
Robert Monson left his home and
family in Mankato July % to work at
his trade, that of carpenter, in Min
neapolis. One letter was received soon
after by his wife. He said he had OBJ
tanned work for So a day at 1882
Twelfth avenue S. Nearly three weeks
passed, but not another line came to
those at home
carpenters union found that Monson
had worked at the address given for
only three days. He had then left, say
ing he would work on First avenue N.
Careful inquiry, however, showed that
he had not worked for any contractor
who has offices or jobs on that street.
Nor could any general inquiry among
all the builders in the city reveal any
knowledge of his movements or where
abouts after leaving his first employer.
81 sent him the last dollar we had in
the house," the letter says, "to pay for
the express charges on his tools.
81 am in very destitute circumstances
and my rent is due next Thursday. /
don't know where to 60 when my rent
is due, for my landlord will make me-
move, although have no place to 90.

SYMPATHY FOR ROBERTS.
Judson Folks Lend Aid to One Of Their
NeiGhborS.

Judson, Aug. l7.-People in this neigh
borhood and surrounding neighborhoods
are literally contributing towards partly
making up for the loss that r. A. Rob-
erts suffered last week, a mention of
which was made in The Free Press. Rev.
]. W. Roberts, Morris Roberts, Walter
Meredith, John E. Williams, G. G. Jones
and R. p Williams have been appointed
to collect what people feel like giving to
help Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts have the deep
est sympathy of their acquaintance in
their misfortune. They had drawbacks
in Iowa by reason of the wet weather
during the past two seasons. They der
cided to move out here last spring with
what stock and machinery they had
This necessitated the expense of engag-
ing car. As soon as they were fairly
settled here, their barn was burned
along with great deal of personal prop
erty. Among the lost chattels were
three fine horses, worth at least $3.50;
two sets of heavy harness; the wagon,
which stood few feet from the barn;
five tons of hay and a six months old
calf. The total loss will easily reach
$500 and there is not cent of insur-
ance.
Farmers are rejoicing over this fine
weather they are having for stacking,
the grain, although the heat is almost
unbearable at times.
The new church that was recently
built at Judson was dedicated last Sun
day. The services were held in the
Swedish language.
Charles Thomas, the blacksmith, is
back again at Judson and ready to do
work for the public in that line of trade.
Art McGiveney keeps himself busy
nowadays stacking for E. n Jones.
F. j. Milsow has a notion that he
would like to own a pair of drivers and
would pay a good price for team that
would suit him.
Hugh Hughes of Cambria is stacking
for o. S. Hughes.
John E. Thomas of De Lac shook
hands with friends and old acquaintance
at Jerusalem church LAST Sunday, hav-
ing come out to help his brother, Philip,
stack his grain.
R. P. Williams has purchased fine
new range to replace the stove that was
damaged in the fire, which consumed his
house recently.
III. Fuller one of Judson's merchants,
has had his wagon fixed up and painted.

Kleimann of South Bend was attacked
in the pasture by a vicious cow last
evening, and was tramped upon by the
animal. The mother found the child in
the pasture, lying -insensible, while the
COW stood over her. The mother drove
the animal away and picked up the lit
tie girl, who was sound to have received
a severe scalp wound, inflicted without
doubt by the hoof of the COW, as thes
animal had no horns. The child was
brought to a city physician that eve
ing and the wound was sewed up. The
COW had been known to act in an ugly
way before, but had never actually at
tackled anybody.
