much more to Mankato than to St.
Paul, whether from Duluth or Chicago.

The Sterling creamery will open for
business March /.
Mapleton's election occurs March 18th,
and already there is talk of who will
head the ticket. Some good men have
been mentioned in connection with the
mayoralty, among them being w. L. Nc
Queen, H. M. Quinn, James Mclaughlin,
M. Schimmele, and Otto Schweer.
Quite delegation of Mapleton bust
ness men visited the county seat,
Thursday, to protest against taxes
which have been increased about thirty
per cent or more over last year. The
state with it's new capitol building and
legislature creating new offices and
higher salaries, is putting it on to the
people until they are commencing to
kick and protest, but it is doubtful
whether it will do much good.-Maple-
ton Enterprise.
One of the busiest men in the legis-
lature is Senator Eberhart of this
county. AS a member of the commit
tee to investigate railway rates he has
opened up field where the legislator
will have ample room to exert himself
as many inequalities have developed.
We doubt if this county ever had a
better man in the senate than Mr. Eber-
hart as he stands high among his col
legues.-Mapleton Enterprise.
The Good Thunder Mapleton farmers
telephone company was organized last
Saturday with M. Gainor, president, and
Charles Halves, secretary. The line,
which is to be sixteen miles long, is to
be run from Mapleton to Good Thun-
der with several branch lines to ac-
commodate subscribers. The company
has about thirty members. Connections
are to be made at Mapleton and at Good
Thunder with the Citizens line.-Maple-
ton Enterprise.
