MANKATO SETS The PACE
Spiit-loe Drag Campaign Praised BY
Minneapolis Paper.


Minneapolis Journal: 1t is certain
that the people of Minnesota will have
good roads whenever they want them
badly enough. When the people of any
community are interested enough to
spend some time and devote some in
telligence to the proposition, they can
get results. p
Business men of the cities and vii
lagos have a vital interest in good roads,
as well as the farmers, and some of the
best results are attained when city
and country combine to- do some effect
i've road making. Mankato business
men have taken hold in a most practical
way, and their enthusiasm ought to be
infectious over the state. Split log
drags, forty or more, have been sup
piled, and the city contributors are pay
ing half the expence of thorough road
making campaign on all the main high
ways leading to the city. This is re-
freshing sort of enterprise, but it is
good business, too, for the better the
roads are, the more trips farmers will
make to the city.
The gospel of the split log drag has
been widely preached in the state, and
it has won many converts. In most of
the prairie and river bottom districts
good roads are chiefly a question of
maintenance. When bridges are built,
bitches put in to carry the water off,
and the proper levels established, it is
only necessary to keep the ruts and
pockets filled up. Here the split log
drag comes in strong. 1t works the
dirt toward the center of the roads,
leveling it up and rounding the surface
to turn the water But one trip over
the road in a season is not enough.
1t needs to patrol the road again and
again, and eternal vigilance IS the
price of maintaining any dirt road in
prime condition. So the fact exists
that when people really want good
roads, there is no need to put up with
bad ones.
Any Minnesota town that has a bar
ricade of bad roads about it keeping
trade away might profitably invest in
a battalion of split log drags and put
them to work, just as Mankato has
done

deducting those lost there is a net
gain of twenty in sight now for next
year. The eighth grade may be Il
dozen smaller than it has been the
past term.
Superintendent Mcconnell stated
that he would not recommend 50
large an expenditure of money at the
high school this year, preferring to
chance it, as the margin of pupils
was too small to warrant the expen-
diture. 1t might be necessary to rent
room for the eighth grade.
Mrs. Smith thought that it would
probably be necessary to rent room
Mr.. Davies asked what it would cost
to finish off the laboratory alone in
the attic, and Mr.. Pass replied that
it would not cost over half what he
had estimated for the three rooms
and would probably cost little less
than half.
The secretary reported that during
the year coal was delivered at the
different buildings as follows: Union
$36S.40 Pleasant Grove. S532.20;
West Mankato, $3l5.20; high, $4,000;
total, 81 500. Wood and slabs, $245.2 %
The committee on property and eX'
pense was authorized to advertise fol
bids for 800 tons of coal to be delivered
as needed to May l, bidders to fur
nish weights, and bids to be opened al
the July meeting.
Superintendent Mcconnell reported
having collected S56.75 on tuition ac
count since his report Feb /. He haC
come out 5000 ahead on handling the
| high school music, and 1920 behind OF
the histories. There was therefore {
balance due the district of $74.75, anC
he handed Treasurer Holbrook a checl
for this amount He also presented {
bill for $3422 for his expense account
for the year ending June l, and thi.
was allowed together with the other
bills that came before the board. The
only large ones were one from the
Laird Norton Yards for S477.25 for the
balance on the coal supply contract,
and one from George Pass for Sl0S.32
for preparing the plans and specified
lions for the Franklin school improve
ments.
1t was voted to retain Mr.. Pass to
superintendent the work on the Frank
lin building.
All of the members were present at
the meeting except Dr. Beach. 1t will
be necessary to hold special meeting
late in June to prepare for the annual
election.
Some of the members of the board
remained and attended the meeting of
the high school alumni.

Terrible Accident Happened to Thor.
waId Anderson at Owatonna.

Owatonna, June 3.-A terrible acct
dent happened to Thorvald Anderson
five-year son of Andrew Anderson, a
prominent business man of this city
on Decoration day afternoon, at which
time he was shot in the head. The little
fellow was playing with loaded %
calibre rifle and while attempting to hang
the weapon on a nail in the wall the
trigger caught on the nail, dischargine
the gun. The bullet entered the lads

critical condition, but may recover.
While playing near a neighbours house
the lad discovered cartridge, with
which he loaded the gun.

few days ago by North Mankato resi-
dent, who struck him over the heart

of time, etc, but whether the authori-
ties of Nicollet county will agree to this
is not known.
