It was with no little pleasure that
The Free Press announced last night
that the Minneopa state park bill had
passed the senate. This is measure
in which the people of this city and Sec
ton of state have displayed a great deal
of interest. They felt from the start
that the legislature would not turn
deaf ear to the request of southern Min
nesota for this concession. There is ev-
cry reason to believe that Governor
johnson will approve the bill, and then
the land which includes the historic
Minneopa falls will be turned over to
the state.
The Free Press was first to suggest
that the state gain control of Minneo-
pa falls and the land adjacent and con-
vert the picturesque spot into park, a

Invite the Boys to Mankato.

There is movement on foot among a
number of newspaper men in central
and southern Minnesota to organize a
Southern Minnesota Editorial associa-
ton, and it has been suggested that the
meeting to arrange the preliminarles
shall be held in Mankato. This is a
matter that ought to interest the Board
of Trade 1t is hoped that at the next
meeting of that body the matter will
be taken up, and committee appoint
ed to arrange for extending an invitation
to the newspaper men in this section Of
the state to gather mere; also to engage
a hall wherein they can transact their
business and perhaps to arrange for the
proper entertainment of the visitors.
Mankato would lose nothing by the
invasion of host of newspaper men.
The ''press gang" can do a great deal
to advertise this city's resources, her
beauty, and ner manifold advantages
as manufacturing center and place
of residence. By all means let the
newspaper men be extended a most
hearty invitation to hold forth here.
Let the city's gates be thrown wide
open to them and let Mankato exhibit
to the scribes that hospitable spirit
which has made her famous as fit
place for people to meet in convention.
1t is quite a long time since the
newspaper men visited this city in a
body. Their last visitation was on the
occasion of the formal opening to the
public of The Free Press building and
the establishment of the Commercial
club They were well pleased with their
reception then and they will be more
than glad to come again.
And the editors and publishers of
southern Minnesota should have an or
ganization. The boys should become bet
ter acquainted with each other.
Through thorough organization they
can reach an understanding that will
be advantageous to themselves and
their constituencies.

BIG ONE is In SIGHT.
Contract of Millions Likely to Be
Awarded Mankato Firm.

Washington, April 49, Senator Clapp
conferred yesterday morning with Prof.
Newell, chief of the reclamation bureau
having charge of making contracts for
the big project at Belle Fourche, S. d.,
where over $2,000,000 is to be expended
for building dams and storage reservoirs
and constructing canals
Bids were opened at Denver, April 10,
and have not yet been passed upon by
officials here. Two or three Minnesota
firms put i'll proposals. On the schedule
for excavating and canal work, the Wi
dell-Finley company, of Mankato, are
low bidders, and as this firm stands
very nigh in its ability to carry out all
propositions offered it is believed it will
receive the contract.
Senator Clapp visited the war depart
ment and had long conference with
Secretary Taft, the nature of which
was not given out.

ed in the hands of committee of the
club, consisting of Gates Phillips, Dr..
r. NJ Dodds and John Graham. This
committee mas charge of repairing and
subletting the barns. Some patchwork
is needed to put the building in salts
factory shape. Mr.. Graham will keep
his horses in the barn.
The club also took up the matter of
the horse race feature of the celebration
of July 3, and 5. The first days
races will be for members of the Driv-
ing club alone. First will be colt
