From Mondays Daily.
w. E. Young was in Mankato over
Sunday. He announced that the rail-

duced the wheat inspection fee from
% to 10 cents per car. This reduction
is due to the fact that the commission

thing like $4,000. When this is ex-
hausted the former fee will be charg-
ed for inspection.

some superb park land, purchased from
MIR. Little, and then that portion that
is not desirable for park purposes traded
off to South Bend township for GENE
terry purposes, as this land lies adjacent
to Minneopa cemetery, in exchange for
a tract of beautiful park land adjacent
to and directly downstream from the
portion of the original fifty four that
the state retains.
A motion was pissed continuing the
committee, and requesting its members
to look particularly into the matter of
the location of the new depot.
Secretary Taylor read communica-
ton from w. E. Young, member of the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion, containing a tab,llated statement
of railroad rates, showing discrimination
against Mankato. 1t is shown that the
Omaha railroad charges on lumber from
Duluth to Mankato, 262 miles, Is cents
per hundred pounds; Duluth to ST. Paul,
l76 miles, six cents; St Paul to Man
kato, SO miles, nine cents. The Oma-
ha charges on grain from Duluth to
Mankato, Is cents per hundred; Duluth
to st. Paul five; st. Paul to Mankato,
ten. The same company has rate ON
coal, Duluth to Nankato, 1925 per
ton; st. Paul to Mankato, no tariff fill
ed; Duluth to st. Paul, $l.25.
The Milwaukee has the same rate as
the Omaha on lumber from Duluth to
st. Paul and from st. Paul to Man
kato.
On wood the Great Northern charges
from Duluth to st. Paul, l6l miles,
Az cents per hundred; the Great Western
from st. Paul to Mankato, 80 miles,
4A cents; the Omaha, ST. Paul to
Mankato, SO miles, Az cents; the
Northern Pacific, 22s miles, 61s cents.
These figures were discussed at some
length, the board agreeing that they
said great deal. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on freight rates,
with instructions to act at one and
vigorously, as the time is ripe and the
material ready.
F. NJ. Currier suggested that some
thing ought to be done to get the two
street car parties to pull together and
get for Mankato a car line. Quite a
talk followed. Both sides seemed anx-
