LADIES' AUXILIARY ACTIVE,
Committee Has Raised ST, $50 to Fur
nish Y. NJ. G. A. Block.

Yesterday afternoon the Ladies' Aux
iliary of the Y. NJ. C. A. held the regular
monthly meeting in the parlors of the
Methodist church. About fifty were
present. The report of the well known
committee of twelve, of which Mrs. H.
A. Paterson is chairman, was heard.
That committee has raised $l,65O to-
wards furnishing the new Y. NJ. c. A.
building. That sum is more than the
committee really guaranteed to raise.
The committee had $500 set as its
minimum. Yet the committee will keep
on working and perhaps will be able to
raise the amount to $1,000 before the
first day of October. A motion was car
ried providing for committee to pur.
chase the furniture. This committee will
consist of five members. Mrs. Z. L..
Patterson, president of the auxiliary, will
be chairman of the committee Other
tasks that the auxiliary will undertake
in the near future will be the preparation
for the dedication of the building and
for the house warming there, in the way
of entertainments, which will make
the building center of interest, and
as great an attraction to young men and
boys as it possibly can be. *
The auxiliary was addressed by Sec
rotary Gran, who outlined the present
state of affairs, and the work that must
be undertaken for the future. The build
ing will be ready for occupancy after
about six weeks. Mr.. Gran conducted
the ladies over to the building and show
ed them through the whole of it, ex-
planning the plan in view in the general
arrangement of things.

H0RD'S NEW DEAL
Plans Electric Line From Min
neapoIis to Mankato.
This Route Will Pe Eighty
Miles in Length.
Will Get Things in Readiness
for Next Spring.
The Colonel Hands Minneapolis
Something Nice.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
With project for building an cleo
trio railway connecting Minneapolis with
Mankato, Colonel L. P. Hord of Aurora,
ILL.,, veteran in the promotion and
building of interurban lines, is in Min
neapolis looking over the field, says
The Minneapolis Times. The scheme is
yet in its inceptive stages, but with a
strong backing of eastern capital and
the interest already aroused among To-
cal capitalists, it promises to develop
rapidly.
Already the company has secured
franchises from the city councils of Man
kato, Kasota and st. Peter for the build
ing and operation of an electric line be-
tween Mankato and St. Peter, distance
of twelve miles. BY the terms of the
franchise the road is to be in operation
by Sept. /, 1905. Hord secured his fran
chises from the councils of st. Peter and
Mankato this week and he has already
bought up large part of the right of
way between the two cities. The COM
pany will run over it's own private right
of way as much as possible, using the
country roads but little. Surveyors are
now working upon the route between
Mankato and st. Peter, and the work
there will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible until cold weather calls halt
upon outdoor operations.
1t is probable that a number of sur
veying parties will be out to work be-
tween Sc. Peter and Minneapolis early
next spring, outlining feasible routes for
the proposed road. While nothing of a
definite nature as to the route has been
decided upon, it is practically certain
that it will pass through Chaska and
skirt the southern shore of Lake Mime
tonka, entering Minneapolis, if possible,
by transferring its passengers to the cars
of the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany, or to the st. Louis Park lines.
The route is now roughly sketched as
follows: Starting from Mankato,
through Kasota, st. Peter, Ottawa,
Sharon, Dresselville, Thomas, Lawrence,
East Union, Carver, Chaska, Hazeltine,
Waconia, striking the shores of Lake
Minnetonka at Minnetonka Heights,
thence skirting the shores of the lake,
