GETTING BACK AT PUBLIC.

Granada merchants are up in arms
against the order issued by the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway
company removing the telegraph m
struments and lines from its depot
in that village and dispensing with the
services of an operator. The Times
says the railroad company is handing
the village lemon. The agent at
Granada will have to stand cut of
SIS per month in his salary. The
Times claims that the years business
at the Granada depot amounted close
to $4,000.
The policy of railroad companies
nowadays is to cut and slash INTO
salaries, reduce the number of en-
ployes and inconvenience the busy pub
lie as much as possible. The Milwaukee
company has been ousting its oper-
ators from the smaller stations and
cutting down the working force, yet
the volume of business handled by that
corporation is constantly on the in
crease. Possibly the passenger traffic
is little light, but it is always so at
this season of the year. There Is no
valid excuse for this sudden spasm
of economy on the part of transpor-
tation lines which has resulted IN
throwing so many men out OF employ
ment and the handicapping OF busl-
ness interests in the smaller towns.
The Milwaukee company has been
making noise for some time that
it would have to cut down expenses
as its business was decreasing. Ac-
cording to that company's report te
the state railroad commissioners it
is not losing money nor is business
on the decline. The report in part
shows as follows: Freight earnings
for 1907, $44,ll5O59l6; freight earn
ings for 1906, $4O,ls7 ,2lO03; Pas
senger earnings for 1907, $l2,l02, 1862;
Passenger earnings for 1906, Sll,l23'-
545.22; Earnings from mail, express,
etc., for 1907, $4,33l ,299.OS; earnings
from mail, express, etc, for 1906, S4,-
lll,797.74. These figures demonstrate
conclusively that the Milwaukee coHl-
pany's business has not decreased, but
has increased materially over that OF
the year previous. Reports of other
railroads to the commissioners show
increased earnings.
The economy stunt which the rail
roads are practicing is no more or less
than one way to get back at the peo-
pie for the activity they have dis
played in the matter of securing legis-
lation that would reduce freight and
passenger rates to proper level. The
spirit of revenge has made itself mani
fest in the makeup of the officials
of the roads and the people must
put up with it, unless the railway
commission can find some way to COM
pei the magnates to do the proper
thing by the public.

CAUSE POLICE TO SPECULATE
Strange Men Attempt to Destroy the
Notes and Papers.
From Thursdays Daily.


This forenoon Ticket Agent William
Spornitz of the Omaha depot noticed
three strange men acting somewhat
suspiciously back of the depot. They
started fire and tried to destroy
some papers. After they had gone
Mr.. Spornitz went out and found
that the fire did not destroy all of the
papers and he picked up note for
$3.50 and one for $S5, payable to a
South Dakota man. Some other papers
were also recovered, and Mr.. Spornitz
turned them all over to Officer Sim
mons.
The three men are supposed to have
taken forenoon train out of the city,
either the 9:55 train on the Milwau-
kee road or the 1890 train on the
Omaha.
How the men came by the papers,
what their purpose was in trying to
destroy them, and who they were and
where they went to are questions that
have caused the officers considerable
speculation.
The papers appear to have been the
property of G. Skartvedt, Canton, S.
ID. He is a member of the building
committee of the Augustana college.
One note for $S5 was given at Can
ton by +. Kundson. Several payments
have been made, the last one OH
Nov. 81.
The other note was for 1925, given
to Lajla E. Skartvedt, by Peter Skart-
vedt of Lake Benton This note is due
next May.
Other papers found in the heap were
evidently taken from pocketbook
and were of no value except to the
man who owned them. There was
also sticking plaster, stamps, etc 1t
is quite likely that robbery has
been committed.

more good roads to the credit of. Blue
Earth than to any other county in
the state. The endless chain of drags
will ,reyolye and revelve until all high
ways are bettered and put in first
class condition. The commi ssioners
are to be commended for the active
interest they have displayed in this
important matter.
The Commercial club committee has
labored faithfully and well. Their
comings and goings have not been pre-
ceded by trumpet blasts nor have
their labors so well performed been
started from housetops. They have a
right to feel just pride in their
success and the business community
is not unmindful of the large guam
tity of good fruit that has been
gathered from the seed sown. Let
the god work 90 on. The CONNER
cial club should lend every encourage
ment to the committee.
Another committee that is entitled
to the praises of the people is that
one representing the Automobile club
which has also been instrumental III
interesting the farmers in the inn
provement of the highways and dem
onstrating to them that additional
value will accrue to their lands if the
roadways are made into things OF
beauty and devoid of obstacles to
travel All in all, the good roads
cause is given 2 decided boost and it
is up to Mankato business men to
push good thing along.

GOSPEL OF GOOD ROADS.

The gospel of good roads was preach
ed in eloquent figures to the CONNER
cial club last night. 1t was demon
strated that improved highways can be
brought about through the expenditure
of a comparatively small sum of money.
The good roads committee of the club
submitted report which proved to be
an eye-opener for many business men
who have regarded the question: of
road improvement as one difficult of So
luton. The report merits the persual
of every man engaged in trade. 1t
is not lengthy but it contains vol
umes. M
Roard betterment is no longer a
problem, thanks to the Commercial
club committee who have accomplished
so much in that direction during the
past year and at such small cost.
They have builded well and their
efforts are appreciated. They have
succeeded in enlisting the aid of town
ship boards who contributed no small
part to the general scheme of making
the roadways what they should be
in a wei settled and developed section
of country. The king road drag
has been exceedingly helpful device
also. The drag was happy cancep-
ton of the man from Missouri and
it has proved invaluable in road con-
struction.
The committee did not end its la
bors with the town boards but placed
their ideas before the county commits
sioners, who accepted them grace
fully, and during the coming year the
good roads movement will be given an
impetus that is! worthy of the cause.

BOY SHOOTS
HIS COMPANION
John WOOdside Is Victim of Shot
Fired by Leonard BeaIs

I John Woodside, the 11-year-old
son of Il. Woodside, rancher living
seven miles northwest from this city,
lies at his home with a 22-calibre
bullet hole in his left side just over
the lung.
According to Albert Bussa, a
farmer living In the same neighbor-
hood, the shooting occurred yester-
day afternoon, and the shot that took
effect in the person of the boy was
fired by Leonard Beals, the 9-year-
old son of p, Beals. According to
his statement, the Woodside boy was
on his way over to visit the Beal
boy. Mrs Beal. it appears, was away
visiting neighbor and just as the
Woodside boy entered the yard the
Beal boy appeared in the door with
a gun in his hand. According to the
story told by Mr.. Bussa, the Wood
side boy stated that he aimed the
gun at him and told him to look out
as he was going to shoot, and then
fired. The neighbors were attracted
by the shooting and the Woodside
boy was taken to his home and DR..
Bremen of Rathdrum summoned.
The doctor after making an exami-
nation of the wound, stated that he
did not regard the case as dangerous,
unless complications should set in,
and that he believed that the boy
would recover.
The Beal boy, when questioned,
denies doing the shooting, but makes
no explanation as to how it happened.
1t is said that the boy is used to
handling fire arms, but that his
father was always careful to leave
no loaded fire arms in the house, and
is was the theory of Mr.. Bussa that
the boy found cartridge and loaded
the gun himself.
