MAY GO TO LIZ SUeUR.
Location of the Girls Training Schoo
Is Discussed.

from MONDAY Daliy.
The ST. Paul Globe says that Repre-
sentative j. a. Anderegg's bill providing
for the selection of Il site for the build
ing of a state industrial school for girls
did not leave the appointment of the
commission to the governor, but named
the commission in the bill, has resulted
in an inquiry as to the personnel of the
commission.
1t has found that all but one man
named to the commission has lived
within a short distance of lie Sueur,
which is a candidate for the school, The
prospective commissioners now reside in
different parts of the state, but the stu
dent of modern history has learned that
earlier local sympathies might easily
leaf them to select lie Sueur as the site
for the school. Frank NJ. Eddy, Sank
Center, is the only one who has no
geographical connection, remote or other
wise, with the LIE Sueur project. J. l..
Washburn, the Duluth man named in
the bill, is former resident of Man
kato, and both G. S. Ives, st. Paul. and
DIR. c. X. Bartlett, Minneapolis, are for
mer residets of St. Peter Both Manka-
to and st. Peter are nearby ne:ghbors
of lie Sueur. j. J. Furlong, Austin, is
within a comparatively short distance
from LIE Sueur, and he is fellow direc-
tor with C. n. Cosgrove, the lie Sueur
man who is an officer of the State Agri-
cultural society. If the commission
has the selection of the site, it is con-
sidered that lie Sueur stands favor
able chance of winning.

D0LLIVER AND DAN PATCH.
/ Opening Attractions for State Fair
Sept. 4 Next.

Sept. Next.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Senator j. p. Dolliver of Iowa will
open the Minnesota state fair with an
address.
Dan Patch will go against his record
And the opening day, Sept. 4, is Labor
day.
These three things cause the state
fair managers to believe that the open
ing day will be the record breaker of the
fair in the matter of attendance.
Senator Dolliver is regarded as one of
the foremost orators of the country. He
spoke in ST. Paul last fall during the
and it was the universal
opinion of those that heard him that he
made one of the best political speeches
ever delivered in st. Paul.
Dan Patch holds the worlds pacing
record, and at the fair this year he will
try to make new ore. Patch paced at
the Minnesota fair in 1908, but since
that time he has lowered his record three
seconds, and now it stands at | :56 fiat.
His trainers are confident that he can
do better, and track in the state where
he is owned is considered the best place
for him to show it.

WILL SUBMIT A BID.
Donald Grant e Co. Preparing to Bic
on Electric Railway Plant.

From Mondays Daily.
The visit of Donald Grant, the well
known railroad contractor OF Faribault,
to the city Saturday afternoon was for
the purpose of looking over the ground
preliminary to putting in bid upon
the construction of the proposed electric
railway line in the city and country as
planned and the lighting plant and hot
water heating plant. Mr.. Grant was ac
companied to the city by his partner,
J.. p. Boyle of Chicago, and also by Z.
G. Wehrlig of Toledo, Ohio, the represen-
tative of Arbuckle & Ryan, one of the
strongest electrical equipment houses
in the country. The three gentlemen
We're shown about the city by President
Eberhart, of the Mankato Railway, Pow
er and Lighting company, as stated by
The Free Press Saturday, but it was too
cold to take them out into the country
They met subsequently with some of the
directors of the company.
Donald Grant & Co. and the Arbuckle-
Ryan people will put in bid on the
entire plant of the local company. 1t
will be some time before the bid can
be made, as it is likely that the bid
ders will wish to send their own engi
neer to Mankato to look over the line
of the proposed road and take measure
ments.
The preliminary estimate made by
Mr.. Grant and his people on the cost of
the plant is about $45O,00O, whereas the
local company has expected right along
that the cost would be below $4O0,00O
In case the bid should 90 higher than
the company can stand, it will have to
scale down the specifications. At pres
ent the best material and equipment OF
every kind is called for.

From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
John Webster of st. Peter, who has
been the Nicollet county treasurer for
the past fourteen years, spent part of
Saturday at Strickland's grocery store,
collecting taxes, not only from the North
Mankato people, but from those of Bel
grade and Nicollet townships as well.
lie was assisted by his daughter, Miss
Minnie Webster, who had accompanied
him from st. Peter. During the day he
collected more than half the personal
property taxes of the village, and quite
a deal of real estate taxes, gathering
in all about $1,000 All who did not pay
their personal property tax to him yes
terday must bring or send the money to
st. Peter On March lst ten per cent
penalty will be added to those taxes
that are not yet paid. After March the
fees of the clerk of the court and sheriff
will be added to each mans tax, so the
sooner it is paid, the better
This year North Mankato, while its
property is assessed no higher than that
in other parts of the county, in pro-
portion to its value, has a higher tax
rate than any other part of the county.
The rate here is more than thirty-eight
mills, 1876. Of this the state tax is 2.73.
the school tax, l7.6; the county tax, 6.5;
and the village tax, HI; total, 1876.
st. Peter has the next highest tax rate,
thirty mills, of which thirteen mills 90
to the school tax. The lowest rate of
all is paid by the farmers who live in
School District No. 4, Lake Prairie
township, their rate being only fourteen
mills, of which mill and a quarter are
paid for school purposes. Can it be that
they kick about their taxes over there !?
Very likely they do. 1ar

FUTURE WILL WONDER
How the Farmer of the Present Day
Made Living.

Judson, Jan. 30. Many people in
these parts are of the same opinion as
The Free Press of last week, that "the
farmer need not be much concerned
about his buying if he can control his
own selling but alas, poor fellow, he
has nothing to say concerning the prize
of what he has to SELL The buyer sets
the price on the farmers products and
in most cases gets them at his own fig
ures, whether that is the full value
or not, and yet, talk organization to the
majority of the farmers today, and they
don't see it in that way" Nevertheless
in all likelihood ''the children of the fu-
ture will wonder how the farmers made
a living without being able to put a
value on their products, just as we now
wonder how our forefathers made a liv-
ing with the reap hook fail" 1t will
surely come.
Quite number in this vicinity have
been complimenting The Free Press dur
