From Tuesdays DAILY.
The papers in the matter of the peat
fuel deal have been completed in a man
ner satisfactory to the United States Peat
Fuel company and the BIankato Peat Fuel
company. The former agreed to take
half of the stock of the latter, and 1t
is thought that the balance can be easily
placed in this city. President Bushnell
of the United States company returned
to Chicago today, taking the papers
with him for signature, while John Adj
son left for Norwood.
The site selected for the location Of
the factory is near 0shawa, where the
company has an option on 500 acres Of
fine peat bed. This is about ten miles
due north of Mankato, on the Chicago
& Northwestern road. The peat is ten
to twelve feet deep, and analysis shows
chat it is OF very fine quality The fac
tory will be erected close to this bog,
as early in the spring as possible, and
it is expected to have it in operation
within six months. The capacity of the
plant will be 100 tons day, which will
use the peat from ten acres of land in
Il year.
Peat bricquettes will be manufactur
ed, and will burn as well as hard coal
While the cost of manufacture is est
mated at but 81 ton, the product
should readily sell for S. a ton or more.
This viii be one Of the first factories
to be put in operation in the United
States. There are several factories in
Canada that are doing well.

of-way. There was some that had not
been settled for. He also called spe-
cial meeting of the town board to ascer-
tain whether the town bonds and rail
road stock were in proper hands and
found that they were safely deposited
in bank at Albert Lea, ready to be
turned over when they are earned ac-
cording to agreement as specified there
in, which was very satisfactory to Mr.,
Tobie. He also stated that work would
begin early in the spring and be pushed
vigorously until the rails reach Duluth.
1t is also reported that a big force
would begin on the south end and eX-
tend the work as rapidly as possible
toward the Gulf. The object is to make
a short cut from Duluth to New Orleans.
1t is also reported that there will be two
division points, from Duluth to Glen
coe and to Albert Lea, but on account
of the scarcity and high price of land
in Albert Lea, they have decided to
make Freedom division point instead
of Albert Lea. AS the head contractors
have made Freedom their headquarters
all summer it is thought Frecborn
would in many respects be more suit

also in direct communication with one
of the officials i'll Detroit, Mich, who
heartily recommends Freedom as di-

in default of having shafts, the tongue
was fastened to old Nig's collar. After

old Mig was bid to start on his journey.

Mr. Wigley came to look for his rig,
he found to his establishment that MIG,

the lost property. After hunting high

he had played a good joke on his master
and enjoyed 4 good feed of corn fodder
