He Is interviewed BY Editor Hotaiin g
of the Enterprise.

From Fridays Daily.
L. l.. Tobie of New York and his
friend G.. +. LaClairc of Aberdeen, S
D.. were registered at the Schlinger-
man house at Mapleton on Wednesday,
having Just returned from drive over
a part of the right way of the Al
bert Lea, Mankato, st. Cloud & Du-
luth railway. Mr.. Tobic is very pleas
ant man to meet and while himself
and his road have been the subject
of much comment in the newspapers
he treated The Mapleton Enterprise man
courteously, and cherfully gave such
information as he deemed of public in
terest and not detrimental to the men
who have exhibited their faith in the
enterprise by backing it up with their
money. The road, said Mr.. Tobie, will
be built as far as st. Clair this fall but
its course from that point on will not be
settled until this winter with the possi-
BILE exception of a few miles, but it will
not strike Mankato or st. Peter. The
objective point of the road at the pres
ent time is st. Clair and grading will be
commenced in the near future from
Cream to ST. Clair also on the three
miles which it is necessary to grade on
the Albert Lea end of the line, the orig
inal intention to connect with the Min
neapolis & st. Louis line having been
given up and the decision reached to
build into the city direct. y
The laying of the rails will occupy a
period of about forty days and the ma
terial has all been contracted for to be
laid down at Albert Lea by the 18th OF
September. The right way from Al
bert Lea to ST. Clair has all been secur-
ed, and the deeds with one. exception
that of case where an estate is being
probated, are in the hands of the com
pany. The line is entirely an indepen-
dent one at the present time, although
later on it may be necessary to make
arrangements with some other company
for its operation.
The country through which the line is
being constructed is the equal of any il
Minnesota, and the farmers who live
along it are now compelled i'll many
instances to drive ten to fourteen miles
to market, but with the completion oil
the line will be in position to market
their grain and produce by driving very
short distances.
Mr.. Tobie in speaking of the road and
the obstacles which it has had to over.
come, paid merited tribute to Mr.. HUI.
bert Bruels, the Blue Earth county rep.
rcsentative on the board of directors, to
whom he gave the entire credit of secur-
ing the road to st. Clair. Mr. Bruels by
his Jealous efforts and financial backing

DIR. Andrews said that his criticism
had been qualified with the proviso that
if the eity's interests had not been fully
guarded. He didn't know but what they
were.
MIR. Hixon said that the city attorney
is all right as far as lie knew. He did
not side with his critics at ALL Far
from it. AS far as the city's inter
ests were concerned the city attorney
had done his duty, and he could not
see how the city could lose out. He did
not bring up the suggestion that the
contract was full of holes that would
have to be passed upon by the courts as
criticism.
b. ID. Smith said that it would be i'm
possible to draw a contract that could
MT be brought into court on I'M junction
proceedings to be constructed.
Mr. iixon said that he didn't think
that the street Lighting contract was
worth as much as commercial lighting,
ANYWAY. If 1000 candle power lights
are to be furnished for $66 year each
there would not be much profit to help
tide the street railway, company over.
He didn't know what the old company
would do, either. The contract for the
lighting had been drawn up with the
one idea of getting street railway for
Mankato.
Mr. Willard said that two attorneys
for another car project had said that the
contract favored the lighting company.
Mr. HiXon said that since the matter
was up, he would say that one reason
why the eastern people did not come
to time, was on account of the lighting
contract. Janney had represented to
them that the contract could be had,
and when a copy of the contract was
sent to Philadelphia it was passed upon
by some of the best attorneys there.
That contract was what brought up the
complications that caused the eastern
people to withdraw. They had thought
that they were going to get the lighting
contract without litigation, but saw
that there would be complications from
the start
A member of the club remarked aft
er the netting that this was probably a
mere excuse given by the eastern people
for failing to come to tilne, for it
was every way likely that they had
thoroughly investigated every phase of
the situation before they put up $780,
600 or more and tied themselves ND
with II contract to invest in Mankato.
Their claim that they were surprised
by the wording of the contract after
, this, the gentleman said could be taken
with a liberal grain of allowance. They
were careful and cautious not to post
themselves thoroughly before entering
into II contract.
DR.. Andrews presented "A report for
the committee on Mineopa park. He
SAID that the park is secured, and that
condemnation proceedings had been be-
gun during the day, and it only re-
manned for the appraisers to say what
/ the state will have to pay for the land.
He did not think that more than $500
an acre would be allowed He thought
that the park would help out the street
railway.
Dir. Schmauss said that he didn't see
how this would be the case. when the
Omaha road only charges twenty cents
for the round trip.
The bills of the committee that went
to st. Paul to see the attorney general
were allowed.
