WANTS the ALPHABET
Paper Says the Milwaukee
Wants to Buy

Albert Lea Tribune, 80: The Tri-
bune has information from a hiqh
official of the Southern Minnesota d.
vision of the Milwaukee road that
long before the 'Alphabet" people be-
gan grading their road they were
offered q good price to turn 1T over
to the M1waukee, but the offer was
rejected as it did not appeal to them.
The Milwaukee has q surplus of many
millions but at the last writing 1t was
not making any veyy liberal PROPOSE
tions to anybody. This same oficia
declared the work at Good Thunder ia
fer from bluff and unless the ."Al.
phabetn is secured the line out Of
GOOD Thunder will be built to this
city, the probability being that the
line would strike the present road <f
the company at point Just west Of
the union . ard about where the Nor
in brick and tile plant was located.
This line would run to the nortnwe st
and If built as protec ted would paral-
lei the new road being graded for
some miles but of course that would
not be fatal to the move. One r.sult
would be the sho1 tening of tho dis
tance to Mankato from this place and
that would be worth something. With
this link b2ilt the Milwaukee coald
scarcely get along without q yard and
round house here, as Albert Lea would
be much important point to that
road than ever. The prospect that
the 'Alpnsbet can be bought at q
reasonable figure is not good as the
projectors desire to have it built far
beyond Mankato. Anyway Albert
Lea can afford to watch with interest
this contest that means much t. the

the prospect still seems good that

RIDER AFTER A BETTER JOB

RIDER AFTER A BETTER JOB
Minneapolis Journal: H. A. Rider
of Little Falls. the member Of the
Legislature recently appointed q de.
putty United States narshal, is said
to be slated for something consider
ably better. the ceputyship being
merely . makeehift to tide over until
the other position is ready. The re-
port Is that Senator Clspp has him
slated to succeed Major 6. L. Scott
as Indian agent at Leech lake. Major
Scott is about to retire from the
army under the thirty years rule,
it is said, and now that the Leech
Lake Indians seem paciaed and easily
managed. it Is not thought necessary
to keep an army officer over them
Rider is a former sheriff of Morri.
son county, a former railroad man.
and a sturdy son Of old Massachu7
setts. He served in the house In rhe
1908 and 1905 seasons, and took lead
Jog part in the campaign for Senator
Clapp's reelection, standing as sponsor
at the early CAUCUS call. While the
state constitution does not be1mit q
member OF the legislature to hold
any ether Office except that of post
master, it does not govern federal ap-
poiItments. If senator Clapp does
not run into too much trouble in the
Indian department, there seems to be
no OBSTACLE to prevent Riders ap-
poirtment.
