II Is Two and 0ne-HaIf Blocks West
OF "A" Street Crossing,
MUCH LAND IS TO BE DONATED
Now Hoped That the Injunction Pro-
ceedings Will Be Dropped and
the Structure Built.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The proposed location of the new
bridge at the foot of GA" street has
been abandoned, it is said, and all
parties interested in having the bridge
built have united upon location
that is highly satisfactory to all,
and in every way far better than the
one proposed. 1t, is practically the To-
ration found by +. Nj. Currier, j. b.
Richards and T. A. Sherk, and Us two
and a half blocks further west than
'A' street, and about half mile west
of the present bridge. 1t will cross
the river between Sherman avenue and
Cornelia street, in North Mankato,
but the property owners haze gener-
ously agreed to donate the land needed
to open up connection with both of
these streets.
North Mankato is United. Sd
North Mankato seems to be united
upon the new location, and all in
terests have signed petition to the
Nicollet country board, asking that
its appropriation be made available
for the new location. No difficulty is
anticipated in getting the consent of the
state, the city council or county boards
of the two counties interested to the
change. While the North Mankato
council took no action on the request
+; for an appropriation, subscription list
is being passed among the citizens and
O generally signed. Acp@AJ
The new location avoids any fill, and
has high banks on both sides of the
ii river, above high water mark, it is
thought. 1t is the best place for a
bridge anywhere along the river front,
on both sides. Another advantage is
that the road leading to the bridge
on this side can go either over the
railway tracks or under them. By
having both roads, there will never be
any delay to traffic from high water,
i when the roads under the tracks
are always blocked. ''' ---.---.-
Street Car Rails in Concrete.
1t is proposed to place the street car
rails in the concrete floor when the
bridge. is built, 50 that; there will be
no delay to traffic when the car track
is extended into. North Mankato,. which
will without doubt, occur soon after
this bridge has been constructed.
Now that proper and sane location
for the bridge has been chosen, all in
terests ought to unite for it, and the
injunction proceedings ought to be
dropped, as the only tenable objections
to the bridge raised in the injunction
proceedings have been met. Mankato
needs the second bridge, and in time
will need third bridge, in the north
end of the city, and no petty rivalries
of jealousies ought to hamper the con-
struction of either one

CROP PROSPECT EXCELLENT
Grains In Minnesota and South Dako-
IA Maxine Fine Showinq.

"a Winona, May d5AThis weeks ,crOp
report from along the lines of the Chi
cago & Northwestern road west of Wi
mona states that grain is as far along
as it was on the lst of June last year
and predicts an early harvest The
report says:
~ weather conditions since The last
report have been eXcellent-clear and
warm in Dakota and the same in
Minnesota, except Monday, when there
was general warm rain covering the
Minnesota line. ..or, 81
All small grain is up above ground,
uniform aud of good color, and the last
week has been the most favorable of
the season. Corn is now being planted
and will be well advanced by the end
of the week. This will be followed by
an increased flax acreage.
y Seeding was general at all points at
the same time on April /, and contin-
ued without interruption for three
weeks, and every available acre is or
will be in crop. There has been and
is sufficient moisture There is an in
crease of 20 per cent in acreage and
the season is as far advanced as
June |, 1907. J... ....
Harvest will be much in advance of
last season if the present advance is
maintained, and it is safe to predict
barley harvest July 10, wheat harvest
July 25, and coarse grain about the
same date, or about one month in
advance of 1907. This is the har-
vest prospect at the present time.
