Take Execution to Statements Made
inCsunciI Meeting.

To The Free Press: Please allow
the following lines space in your
valuable 4 per:
In the lbt evenings report of the
Council mdting was an item about
the draggiH of the repairs on wells.
1t was SD that such work was
under way since three months, which
is mistaement.
The worl was given us the last
week of ADJUST and our men are at
work Sept. 2 and since.
1t was DIR earnest advice to the
city to firstnake new well for the
quickest relf and then repair as the
old wells a, of such miserable con-
struction, TIL repairing is both time
eating and unreasonable hard work.
1t appears fery much that the Coun-
ell rather hive this water-work done
by an out-ser anyway, be it ever
SO much me expensive and the re-
suit more il the cesspool line than
an artesian ELL
In spite ofthe fact that the public
of Mankato ishes to have this work
done by us Is our work has stood
the test of adverse conditions and
no Wellman n the state can show
work nearly is well done as ours

craving for outside party, Very
truly yours, Ie Windmiller company.

Blue Earth Post: ga very pleasant
time was spent at the home of Rev.
and Mrs. William Juedes last Friday
afternoon as the ladies of the congre-
cation surprised Mrs. Juedes with a
parcel shower for the new baby girl
at that home. A splendid lunch, brought
by the visiting ladies, was served on
the shady lawn at which time Mrs.
Gust Henke, eldest lady present made
few remarks in honor of the new
daughter and presented her with the
gifts. The little daughter, only six
weeks, old laughed very heartily when
being informed that it was all for her
sake. No doubt she will laugh
again few years hence when she will
be informed that it was ,remem-
brance of the ladies of East Blue
church" Rev. Juedes and wife have
a number of friends in Mankato.

c. c. ". DEAL WITH G. P.
HEAD OF RoADAcRoSS BORDER
EN- ROUTE TO ST. PAUL.
Rumored That Negotiations For the
Sale of Stickney's Railway Are
Still Under Conside ration.

st. Paul, Sept. 23.-Although the
much talked of deal between the
Canadian Pacific and the Chicago Great
Western is emphatically denied on the
part of the authorities of both roads,
word reached here yesterday that Sir
Thomas G. Shaughnessy, president of
the Canadian Pacific left Montreal Mon
day night en- route to the Twin
Cities. The Montreal dispatch states
that it is the belief there that Mr..
Shaughnessy's visit to st. Paul is for
the purpose of negotiating the final
details for taking over the property
of the Great Western road as sub
sidiary to the Canadian Pacific.
Leaving Contreal on Monday, if
coming straight through to the Twin
Cities, President Shaughnessy should
arrive in Minneapolis some time today.
In addition to the coming visit of
the Canadian Pacific executive, it is
regarded as significant that w. R.
Machines, general traffic manager of
the Canadian Pacific railroad at Mont
real, accompanied by w. r. Lanigan
assistant general traffic manager OF
the same road, located at Winnipeg
spent yesterday in the city visiting
several of the railroad general Offices
Although the nature of their business
in the city could not be ascertained, it
is surmised that it was in connection
with the alleged impending deal be,
tween the two roads.
Official knowledge of the deal ac-
cording to reports which have been Is
sued from the Montreal headquarters
of the Canadian Pacific is still denied
but at the same time it is believed
by many that there is something
doing" and that there is more to the
alleged transfer than is shown on the
surface.
The arrival of Sir Thomas Shaugh-
messy in all probabilities will put a
quietus ON the situation one way Oh
the other.
1t has been we'll known fact that
the Canadian Pacific has been trying
for some years to gain entrance into
Chicago from their Canadian head
quarters at Winnipeg, and with the
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste
Marie road has been able to reach a:
far as st. Paul. Reports continue tc
come from Winnipeg to the effect that
the road has issued new time cards
which have been revised, to show
through connections for the first time
direct from Winnipeg to Chicago
Kansas City and Omaha.
