ST. PETER AFTER LINE
ssAlphabet'' Road Sought and Quarries
a Factor.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
st. Peter, Mimi, June 1.-Following
close upon the heels Of the rumor that
the promoters of the ttAlphabet' road
have decided to pass by Mankato, comes
the story that it is to enter this city.
It has been known for months that the
men who are financing the road have
been considering St. Peter in their
plans, but it is said that they only re-
Gently elected to bridge the Minnesota
river at this point. . r..
The belief is expressed that an i'm
portant factor in the change Of the
original plan to build to Mankato was
the development this spring of the mar
BILE Lodges in the stone quarries at ka-
sofa. This promises to become an in
dustry of large proportions and the
"Alphabet" people are credited with
having designs on their share of the
new business. They would not build
into the village Of Kasota, but would
pass about mile to the westward,
reaching the quarries by means of a
spur track.
Should the new road build into st.
Peter it would greatly simplify local
transportation facilities. At the pres
upon the two lines Of the North West
ern system, and the t'Alphabet" would
give an eastern outlet that would be of
great convenience to shippers and which
would doubtless secure them some
freight-rate concessions.
Weight is given to the building rumor
from the fact that st. Peter is directly
In the path of the !" Alphabet" on its
way to Duluth, and also for the reason
that the town is easy of access. Be-
tween St. Clair and this place there
are no engineering difficulties and the
construction cost would be nominal AZ

New York, June 11.-.The Hill line
in western Canada is to be built under
the charter of the V. V. & E., all of
whose stock is owned by the Great
Northern. 1t is not necessary for j. j.
Hill to go to Ottawa for further rights
In connection with his new line.
The money for the building of the
road will ultimately be raised by the
Great Northern, in spite of all the fan
tastic tales afoat about the road be-
ing purely private enterprise.
Wall Street Interested.
This project is regarded in Wall
street as one of the most interesting
propositions of the day, but not as one
that will greatly affect the situation in
the Pacific northwest. The road is not
designed to be a factor in the thru
transcontinental rate situation. 1t is
to be built to look after local freight.
nothing more. The western end will
produce coal and mine and forest
freight. The eastern and middle sec
tions lie in the wheat range section of
the Canadian northwest. For these
products the. line is to be built.
Of course, there will be competition
with the Canadian Pacific, and with the
Grand Trunk Pacific also. There will
be just as much competition between
this road and the Canadian Pacific as
there is between the 500 line and the
Great Northern. There is no good rea-
son why this should cost either road
any money. Tt is only necessary ia
point to the record earnings Of both the
American roads mentioned to prove this
assertion.
Hill and Sir William.
Mr.. Hill is taking holiday just
now. He spends most of his time at
Lenox, Mass, where he is located fo1
the summer. In a week or so he will
go to Montreal and thence to st. John
N. B., where he will put in a vacation
fishing. Rumor says he will spend a
part of his time with Sir William Van
Horne, at his country place in New
Brunswick. The rumor is interesting in
view of the fact that the Canadian
knight recently intimated broadly that
Mr.. Hill was merely jollying the people
of Canada, and was answered by Mr.
Hill in the acid phrase: "He can say

Mrs. Headley believes in the guilt
of her sons. She does not talk much
about the crime, but admits that she
thinks the elder son, animated by
lust for money, which is said to be his
ruling passion, led the other boy into
the crime She seems indisposed to ex-
ert any effort or to spend much money
in trying to free them.
When the mother was asked if she
would exhaust her resources to free
her sons, she replied she was afraid
that if they killed their father they
might as readily kill her.

It is expected, however. to have
