1t is not necessary for The Free Press
to go into any extended detail as to
the actual benefits which are certainly
to accrue to Mankato, st. Peter, Ka-
sofa and North MankatO by the build
ing of this trolley line. These commu-
mites will receive stimulus far be-
youd that which can be described at this
time. The opportunity to build an elec-
tric road is presented and it remains for
all enterprising people to take advant-
age of it. No enterprise of any great
magnitude can be secured without unit
ed action on the part of the people. No
one can secure advantages without eff
fort. Thus it is with communities, and
if the people themselves do not take
hold and put their energies into play,
they cannot expect that those enter
prises which add to their wealth and
prosperity will come to them. The
proposition is up to the people for
their acceptance or rejection.
Card From the Directors.
The directors of the company have is
sued the following brief but explanatory
statement:
after considerable effort and eX-
pense we have made arrangements
whereby we believe it is possible to
build and operate street railway in
this city and an interurban line to
St. Peter within six months after $751;
600 worth of bonds are subscribed for
in this city, North Mankato, st. Peter.
and Kasota. We are ourselves subscrib-
ers to the bonds and believe that they
will prove a safe investment. We have
arranged to raise the balance of the
money necessary. 1t will require about
100000 to build and equip the road.
1t will be bonded for its cost-dollar for
dollar at lowest possible cost of labor
and material. Our engineers and crews
will begin work as soon as the money to
be raised here is in sight. The quicker
the amount is subscribed, the quicker
the work will begin. All bonds will be
secured by first mortgage on all the
cOmpany's property~as soon as the COM
plete bond issue is disposed of. We
have reason to feel confident of the
outcome of this enterprise, and careful
investigation and care in organizing
leads us to believe that it is sound
business proposition. The outcome re-
mains entirely with. the people. Sub
scription sheets can be found at the
banks or on application to the under
signed.

menced using Doans Kidney Pills and
they helped me from the first and
continued taking them until had used
several boxes. 1 am getting along in
