Trust Deed Filed If
Today By Mankato
Traction Company
From Mondays Daily.

from Mondays Daily.
A trust deed to secure
total authorized bond issue of
100000 has been left at the
court house to be recorded, run
ming from the Mankato Electric
Traction company to the North .
western Trust company of st.
! Paul. The object of this deed
is said to be to enable the com
pany to obtain funds to reim-
burse the syndicate for what
they have put into the construc-
ton work, and for future ex-
tensions that may be made. In
other words, the cost of the line,
aside from the $4,000 of prefer
red stock subscribed and paid
by the people at large in the
city will be financed through this
trust company, which is protect
ed by the deed The line has
cost to date $4,000, and the
subscriptions paid were $4,000.
The amount needed in the near
future will be $4,000.
The trust deed was made
100000 in order that an interur
ban line to st. Peter can be con-
structed later. The company
states that it would be impos-
sible to float two or three is
sues of bonds, and therefore
the trust deed is made for not
$ only the amount now needed,
,but also for what will be needed
in the future for extension: If
no extensions are made, no bonds
for that purpose will be issued.
The trust deed is lengthy and
and contains provisions regulat-
ing when, how and for what
purpose bonds may be issued and
for what amounts.

MANKATo MEASURES UP.

The bard of Mapleton was inspired
to write the following for The Enter

Ever since the days back in fifty-two;
When johnson and jackson, two pio-
neers,
Ventured to the land of the willy Sioux
And founded city on the spot
Where Mnnesota's waters mingled with
the Blue
Mankato has
Measured up.
These pioneers needed not pessimists'
cry,
That there was no gold in the yell
low sand,
For they were there to do, and not to
die; -
Thus the town continued to expand,
And brick, from the sand and clay,
were manufactured,
And Mankato
Measured up.
Convinced of the wisdom of their
They at once united and with will
And with many tug, many a strain,
They were able to secure mill,
And many other factories quickly fol-

And Mankato
Measured up.
There was a pause in the nations
bright fight,
For the war drum was beating the
long roll;
Abraham Lincoln defended the right.
1t was sad time for many a soul.
Loyalty the pioneers responded, one
and all,
And Mankato
Measured up.
But all did not go to the front to
fight,
For some were needed at home to
defend
From tomahawks, which, with red
blood ran bright;
Indians were on the warpath bold.
But thirty eight upon a scaffold were
And Mankato
Measured up.
Thus it is in the onward march of
time
That schools and churches, too, have
made their way,
Colleges followed and hospitals fine,
Daily papers give the news today,
While railways and telephones have
fallen in line,
And Mankato
Measures up.
just keep smiling, and as to the flu

The city down the way, now needs
no load
For it has the Elks, yes, and the
Booster,
To cheer, and boost, and tighten the

For nature, with the stone city, has
been lavish,
And Mankato
Measures up.
Boosters there are many, knockers
just few,
Who on iniunctions rest their

To help out the lusty trolley line
