PrObers Point Out Source
Of Much of MankatO's
Troubles.
No Improvements Should
Be Made Before Plan
Is Adopted.

Storm sewers-a comprehensive sys.
tenn for Mankato-is the recommends
tion of the investigating committee in
a report presented to the council last
night. This was but partial report
of the committee.
Mayor Andrews complimented the re-
port, and said that it was in accordance
with his recommendations. He de-
sired to see complete system, and
not patchwork.
The report was placed on file.
Mayor Andrews presented communi-
cation from the Mankato Fair and Blue
Earth county Agricultural society, ask
ing for the privileges of the streets
for stands, etc, during the fair. No
bonus had been asked this year from
the business men.
A motion by Aid. Bradley to grant
the request was carried.
Mayor Andrews said that the city
engineers trial would take place today
and urged the aldermen to be prompt
and put other business aside, in justice
to the city, the engineer, the aldermen
and all concerned. No benefit would re-
suit from delay. ,.-.

RECEIPTS RUN UP T0S162,7S1
State Fair Proved to Be a Money
Maker This Year.

The total weeks attendance at the
1908 state fair was $780, 1853, as shown
by the final count. The grand total
for 1907 was 2s6,62S, and the grand
total for 1906 was 295,263, so that the
attendance last week exceeded that of
1907, by 4O,O75 and the attendance OF
1906 by 3l,490.
The total cash receipts from the sale
of tickets on the grounds was $l62,-
7sl, as compared with $l3O,47l.9O in
1907, gain of 1872 ,3O9.lO, which amount
will be somewhat augmented when re-
ports are received from various selling
agencies.
The total grandstand attendance for
the week was l52,245, as compared
with l2O,6OS in 1907 and l47,2ll in
1906 a gain of 3l,637 over 1907 and
5,O34 over 1906.
Had the principal opening day attrac-
ton been at all commensurate with
those of lgO6 and 1907, the totals for
1908 would have been much more in
excess of the two former years.

EWERT AND POSTOFF|CE
DECLINED TO PLEDGE SELF TO
AUGUST BLISSENBAcH.
Immediately, So the Pipestone Man
Claims, The Mankato Post Lost
Interest In Campaign.

Paul A. Ewert, candidate for the
congressional nomination on the .repub-
lican ticket, created sensation at the
Mankato Theater last evening. While
in the delivery of a political speech,
he gave as a reason why The Mankato
Post, a German newspaper, refused to
longer support him, that he declined
to promise its editor, August Bis
senbach, the position of postmaster
here. According to the statement of
Mr.. Ewert, The Post, early in the
game, supported the Pipestone man for
the nomination, but suddenly ceased it's
activity in his behalf because Mr..
Ewert would not pledge himself to
hand over the postmastership to Aug
ust Blissenbach, in case Mr.. Ewert was
elected to congress.
Mr.. Ewert talked last night to a
small audience. He was introduced by
DIR. Young of the Normal faculty. Mr..
Ewert's speech was along the same
lines as that one he delivered here
earlier in the campaign. He touched
up both his opponents rather severely.

Loss BY Pumping, Aggregate
Being Fifty Per Cent; Due
To Leakage.
Iowa Man Asks City to Pay His
Hospital Bill; Accounts Be-
fore Council.
More Attention Is to Be Paid to
Many Claims Against the
Municipality.

The following letter was read at the
council meeting last night:
"Board of Public Works: I herewith
present record for pumping water from
Aug. IA to 81. 1 furthermore recon-
mend that said pump be repaired. The
loss by pumping is on one side 20
per cent ON the other 80 per cent, on
account of leakage. The plunger and
rings are beyond repair; therefore 1
recommend two different ways. First,
a plunger type, the same as old. Sec
ond, piston and cylinder type. I
secured prices on both types as men
toned. The water supply of wells is
not sufficient for the present demand
needed. Respectfully, G. F. LEM, en-
gineer."
From Aug. ID to 81 inclusive the
number of gallons pumped was 49,
1896.
The following bids were received for
repairing the pump:
Mankato Manufacturing company:
One new plunger, sos; with brass
ring, Sis; complete brass piston sys-
TEN, $3.50.
Mayer Bros, Inc. Two new plungers,
1886; with brass rings, $405; COM
plete brass piston systems, $3.50.
Mr.. LEM favored the all brass kind
Engineer Wilson's Advice.
The council was at sea as to what to
do, and finally called upon Engineer
Wilson for advice. The latter said that
he favored the plunger system where
there was no more suction required
than in this city. No new rings or
plungers were needed, but there ought
to be extras on hand, to save delay,
as the sand might cut out ring very
quickly.
The council thought that this SCUM
ded reasonable and the matter was
left to Messrs. LEM and Wilson, the
water works committee and the board
| of public works with power to act.
DR.. Bjelland suggested that Mr.. Will
son ought to be asked to assist in
experimenting the repair on the wells,
The aldermen stated that this had al
rady been arranged for.
AID. Atchison reported for the spe-
cial committee that it was in favor of
clearing the Minnesota river of the
piles in it.
More Care With Bills.
The bills were taken up and allowed
including payroll of $776.47, of which
$5S3.92 was for streets, $36l.30 to the
Mankato Sidewalk company for walks
and filling, $500 to William Page for
his second estimate for street sprink-
lings $l5S.55, to Fowler & Pay for
walks, ETC., $l32.S9, to T. r. Cough
lin company, $l0l.67 to the Standard
Lumber company, $3.50 to the Ma
tional Meter company, etc.

DR.. Alley is still with us and his
work will probably be concluded In
a weeks time, unless otherwise
ordered by the state board of
health. These are the plans at
present. DR.. Hill and DR.. Bracken
will be down here on Sept. 10 to
go over the situation with me
again, to be sure that nothing is
being left undone that should be
done.
81 think our present condition is
more than satisfactory, and that
we have the situation well in
hand. Of course there is great
deal of danger from secondary
and tertiary cases which must be
closely watched, because few of
these cases, or even one, might
start another epidemic. One rea-
son that we were able to control
this epidemic as well as we have,
has been because of our milk or
dinance, by which we have been
able to warn and safeguard our
milk supply. Too much apprecia-
ton or credit cannot be given to
our council for the wisdom they
displayed in the passing of this
milk ordinance, and it is one of
the best weapons the city can
have in the hands of it's health
officer to combat contagious dis
ease.

done has improved the water 90.

Work Of Excavating Being Push
ed; Much Energy Is Now
Displayed.
Latest Reports From the Zone
Are Encouraging; the Many
Difficulties.
Especial to The Free Press.J


Washington, Sept. 9.-That the Pana-
ma canal, one of the greatest engi,
neering projects Of modern times will
be dedicated by president whose
name is William, now appears probable.
Reports received at the war department
in the last few weeks show constantly
increasing speed and efficiency in the
construction of the big ditch, and it is
far from impossible that the canal
will be so far finished four years
hence that vessels can use it.
If the hopes of the war department
officials meet fulfllment, the next
president will have the honor of dedi-
eating the canal and his name will
thus become inseparably connected with
the gigantic project. Not in recent
years has such fame been thrust upon
chief executive of the nation, and
in the contest between Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Bryan thus assumes added signi-
canoe.
In any advent, the canal question
is no longer in politics and whether
the next administration is headed by
Taft or Bryan, the work will be push
ed with all possible energy. Under
the army engineers, the work is 60
ing forward regardless of season or
weather. Every report received from
Colonel Goethals brings smile to
the face of General Luke E. Wright,
the new head of the war department
since it bears new evidence of added
speed and difficulties conquered.
The July report of excavation is a
most encouraging one. 1t establishes
new record for the rainy season.
The grand total of earth removed
was 3,l6s,S4O cubic yards, all of
which except l22,SS4 cubic yards was
taken from the canal prism. This is
lOS,533 cubic yards more than the
record for June and 81 ,430 yards short
of the highest dry season record, that
of March, 1909. Compared with July
1907, it shows an increase of 2,lO5, liz
cubic yards. This comparison with July
of last year show what tremendous
strides have been made in the matter
of removing dirt from the canal prism
in the rainy season.
Moreover, the rainfall of July, this
year was heavy. The average was lila
inches, as compared with 10 inches in
June, the preceding month, and lO.l5
inches in July 1907. 1t would be a
strange thing, in the light of the cal
culations that have been made as to the
time required for completion of the
canal, if the administration following
that of Mr.. Roosevelt should see the
canal sufficiently finished for traffic
Yet, it is not impossible that this will
be the case, as the most sober minded
of the canal officials are coming to
view it.
