NORTH and SOUTH ROAD
Over 100000 Of Bonds
Have Been
Issued

Glencoe Register: A. g. Reed,
president Of the Duluth. St. Cloud,
Gencoe and Mankato Railway, re-
turned from Chicago Saturday even
ing where he had been in the interest
of the financial part of the company,
and while there arranged for the I'm.
mediate issue of q million aud forty
thousand dollars on first mortgage
bonds, 10 pay for the construction
and equipment of the first section of
the road, from Albert Lea to Manks-
to. In an intervi lew with the Regis
ter, he informed Us that all of this
issue of bonds had been sold but about
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
worth, and those have been partly
subscribed for along the line of road,
and that all will probably be taken
by reside ents of the state for an invest
ment. On being further questioned as
to the progress of construction and
about the trouble the Milwaukee road
was giving them by surveying q new
line between Albert Lea and Manka-
to, he said: ''Althouah the Mil
waukee railroad company had COM
menoed to survey along side of Us,
they picked up and left. after several
days surveying, finding that We
were not to be scared of, and that
our graders were pushing towards
Mankato at rapid rate. Mr.. Tobie,
the contractor, has purchased ties for
the 6fty two miles and q part of the
equipment has been delivered and he
has ten separate grading camps
stretched along the line and seems to
be pushing things 90 ss to ful6li his
contract to have the road completed to
Mankato by January list. ready to
separate and turn over to us. He
says, I'VE intend to secure the right
of way and locate this fall, from
Mankato to 81. Cloud, 40 that con.

WATER POWER IMPROVEMENT
AT MOTLEY.

Motley Mercury g.: A. A. White,
Of St. Paul was here Monday after
noon to consult with local hnsnciers
concerning the proposed water power
at this place. A. E. Foster accom-

posed site for the dam would be
chosen and later Mr.. White talked
with A.. g. Lawrence, A. L. Cole
and others, regarding the prospects of
buildiug1th dam. Mr.. White is one
Of the largest land owners in Motley
and has various holdings in this vicini-
ty and also on the Pacific coast. Next
Tuesday Mr.. Lawrence and other
prominent men will meet Mr.. White
at Little Falls and Attorney Lind
bergh of that city, will also be pres
ent. It Is proposed that q stock COM
pany te formed in order that more
authority can be obtained. Althouah
the preliminary details will take con-
siderable time we can say that dam
will undoubtedly be built here. and
once built. many industries can be
started. A -four mill will probably be
one Of the new. industries and it IL
possible that the power for the electric
lights at the N. p. yards and shops q,

dam. Any way it will be an improve.
ment that is greatly needed by Motley
and will belp the town very much.

MAIL ROUTE CHANGES
Mr.. CALDWELL Suggests
New Mail Route to Vine
land

Sullivan, Oct. 3, 1905:
Editor Herald: Will you please al.
low space for q letter ITO Whom Il
May Concern.
We are having so many changes in
mail routes and r. F. D. routes we
hardly know where we are at. Sulli-
van is all right now, but We are
thinking of asking Uncle Sam for
more accommodation for our friends
further back in the wilderness.
We have our mail three times a
week from Pierz to Rucker, Sullivan
Lastrup. and back to Pierz. The old
route from Pierz to Vineland is dis.
continued. There was no business on
the east end of the route. This cuts
off all travel by stage from Little Falls
and Pierz to Vineland. Instead of
having our electric road from Little
Falls to the lake, Little Falls people
can 60 to Brainerd and then 85 miles
by stage to Vineland. We know this
does net suit Little Falle, Piers or
Vineland people little bit.
What We now want il to ask Uncle
Sam to extend the star route from
Sullivan to Vineland, making the
route practically the same az before,
three tines week each way, going
from Pierz to Rucker. then to sulli-
van and Vineland, back to Plerx via
Sullivan and Lastrup, making tho
distance ~ miles. accommodating
from 16 to IS mail boxes between Sol.'
livan and Vjneland. A. W. Cook,
who has the route to Sullivan, Is
willing to have the route extended to
7ineland. We understand that the
settlert east ef this township in Mile
Laos county, will soon get the road in
good shape to connect with this town
and Richardson.
The town bonds for roads in Rich
ardson were not turned down because
We did not want good roads, but be-
cause the town officers wanted the
| bonds, ana the common people-and
tax payers wanted 90 ID roads, and nc
bonds.
We will make good road through
RichardsoD, distance Of II miles,
without bonds, or help from the
county. The $500 Richardson got
from the county three years ago, cost
the town $14 to get it out here.
There are Q miles of road in the
township Of Pulaski. The county or
Little Falls ought to put in about
$100 to make q good stage road of it,
as no one In Pulaski township is in.
terested in the road. Then the road
from Pierz to Vineland will be all o.

SOME STATE FAIR NOTES.

t--@
Although YOU have made mention
from time to time of the Morrison
county exhibit at the state fair there
a1e some things that have not been
given to the readers of your paper
which I believe " ould be Of some In
terest to them. -:
There were ten county exhibits at
the state fair and Morrison county
TOOK fifth place which was very good,
everything considered. We won over
Aitkin and Itaaka, northern counties.
and beat out Dakota, Goodhue and
Renville. southern Minnesota coun-
tiee. Houston and Morrison counties
were tie for the first place on stock,
vegetables and arrangements. Morri-
son also stood 81 out Of 100 on tame
and native grasses and the percentage
was a. good as any county received.
We were excelled by some of the
counties in varieties of threshed
grains. and in culinary vegetables.
At the Morrison county booth there
were given away thirty thousand
slices Of Morrison county bread and
butter and In consequence our booth
attracted more attention than all the
otner booths put together.
In the Dairy building there were l2s
exhibits of butter. One tub scor ed
98 ia, five 90, nineteen 81 Ia, and
rs scoring 81. AL others scored less
than 81. The Freedmen creamery in
Belle Prairie was one of the 25 to
score 81, 10 that out Of total of 428
entries 87s scored less than one OF our
Morrison county creameries. It was
this creamery g product that We used
ct the Morrison county booth and Mr..
Wiess, the butter maker. informs me
that he Is offered (as q result of the
fairy q premium of cents over the
market price for his tutter. v There
was butter entered from eight states
outside Of Minnesota, namely. North
and South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Michigan. Nebraska and New
York. There were only two entries
from New York. One scored .9l and
the other o. II. Illinois was the
only outside state to score a. good %
(97.
I also attended the session of tho state
board of equalization and it was con-
Iceded by the 18 members of the board
that the personal property assessment
las Returned by the commissioners of
Morrisor county wi a. one of the best
In the state.
The printed report made to the
county auditor by the state auditor
will show practically no change and
less changes In Morrison than any
other county in the state. The assess.
ment of the city of Little Falls waf
left alone. Outside of this city farm
machinery was raised 10 per cent and
ore year old cattle 25 per cent. Sheer
were reduced and some one other
article that cannot recall. So that
the aggregate amount is lie t as re-
turned by the county board.
