WILL GRAVEL MAPLETON ROAD
Board of Public Works Enters Into An
Agreement With Farmers.

The board of public works last even
ing entered into an agreement with the
farmers living on the Mapleton road
to gravel the road from the top Of
the Silver ravine to the city limits,
and the farmers began work this morn
ing. with six teams. 1t is estimated
that 100 loads of gravel will be re-
quired, and the board will pay sixty
cents a load, which is considered reas-
enable, in view of the fact that a
Mankato contractor wanted seventy five
cents a load for doing the work.
The city this morning sent the road
scraper to clear the snow from the
road, so that the gravel could be put
on where needed. This improvement will
connect with what the farmers have
done on the Mapleton road, beginning
at the city limits. 1t is thought that
the work will be completed in another
week.
Mr.. Wittrock, living on this road, has
hauled more than 240 loads of gravel
and John T. May more than 22O loads.

RAPID RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION
Milwaukee People Are Completing the
Line to the Coast

When the new coast extension OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul is
completed 6O,O00,0O0 cubic yards of ma
terial will have been eXcavated, $780,
600 cubic yards of tunnel driven, TWEEN
ty miles of bridges erected, and 20O,-
900 tons of S5-pound rails laid at a
total cost of SS5,O00,0O0 in the space OF
three years. These figures indicate
that record in rapid railroad con
struction will be made, if the eXpecta-
tons of the engineers and contractors
in charge of the work on the st. Paul
road are fulfilled by the laying of the
last main line rail in the l,40O-mile
stretch by April | next.
The new line will have an advantage
over present lines to the North Pacific
coast in lower grades and shorter mile
age. 1t is said that the steepest east
bound grade on the system is LII per
cent. One of the cost remarkable
things about the new line is the extent
of the tunnel and trestle work. In
crossing the great divide the line
reaches an elevation of $3.50 feet and
the summit work includes two tunnels
respectively 2,26S and LAS feet in
length, besides three steel trestles over
ravines from 100 to 100 feet deep and
from 400 to 600 feet wide.

ALLEN THOMSON, PIONEER, DEAD
He Was For Many Years Resident
Of Blue Earth County.
From Er1aNlS Ila1IN

Allen Thomson, a pioneer resident of
Blue Earth county, died at the home
of mis- son, Byron, in Garden City
township, on Sunday, Feb. II, heart
disease being the cause of his DEATH
Mr. Thomson was seventythree years
of age, an easterner, and located in
this county at Garden City, over forty
years ago. a few years later he To-
Gated in Rapidan township on what
is now known az the Walter Garvin

years, rearing a large family of chill
dren and some years ago losing his
wife. Some six years ago he sold out
and invested in farm lands near Lady
smith, Wis, and at the time of his
death was visiting his son Byron.
Mr.. Thomson was Il man of excel
lent habits. fine moral character. and
sturdy constitution, and he continued
to be active in his accustomed pur
suits till long past the age at which
men ordinarily drop out of the ranks
of the workers. He was a practical,
matter-of fact man, and he was not
disposed to worry about matters that
could be bettered in other ways. This
cheerful spirit remained with him to
the last, and he retained his clear
ness of intellect mp to his closing day.
He was invariably a good neighbor,
and there was no happier family circle
in the land than his. When he died.
full of years, and ready to be gath
cred to his fathers, the grief that was
felt over the close of his long career
was widespread and sincere His best,
monument will be the good report that
he left behind him in the community
in which he has lived for more than
forty years.
Byron, Vert, Herman Spur and
Ray are the remaining sons, and Mrs
Alma Smith remaining daughter of
deceased. Funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon from the home of
his son Byron, and burial made in the
village cemetery.

st. Paul, Feb. l9.-Though not fol-
lowing the policy of retrenchment,
adopted generally by the railroads of
the country, but rather spending more

of 1908 than during the corresponding
period of 1907, the st. Paul road earn
ed enough in the half year ending

regular seven per cent rate on its pre-
ferred and common stock, and still
leave surplus OF $507SOO5, to be
used either for betterment or distrib-
uted as an extra dividend.

STATE TO BUY PATENT RIGHTS
If Resolution introduced By Repre-
sentative Kelly Is Adopted.

sentative Kelly Is Adopted.
st. Paul, Feb. 24.-The board of con-
troll will soon be in the market for
farm machinery patents if a resolution
offered by +. l.. Kelly and john G..
Lennon in the house today prevails.
The resolution, which authorizes the
board of control to purchase, acquire
or negotiate for any patent right or
territorial control of any device neces
sary to perfect machinery to be manu-
featured at the Saltwater prison, went
over under notice of debate offered
by Burdette Tnayer. That it will event.
ually pass, however, is generally agreed.
As offered. the resolution supersedes
one offered by John Saugstad on Fri
day, for an inquiry into the merits of
a patented knotter invented by j. l..
Ware of st. Anthony Park. Mr.. Len
non gave notice of debate at the time,
explaining that he had a better one.
In the minds of some of the members
this patent right business is liable to
Get the state into trouble and they adj
wise caution. According to one story,
Senator T. E. eastman has the rights
of the Ware patent for the southern
tier of counties in Minnesota, and it
it said that other members are inter-
ested.
Still other members point out that
patent right not purchases may be the
means of knocking out the entire
scheme of farm machinery manufacture
by the state. Under such resolu-
| ton the board will be ordered to in
wade certain channels not authorized
| by the constitution and trouble will
result.

SIDEWALK FORCE TO BE BUSY
Men. Behind the Shovel Will Clean
Off the Snow.

The board of public works will put
a force of men at work tomorrow
morning cleaning sidewalks, and the
cost will be assessed against the prop
'erty. A larger force will be put to
work than after the last storm, so
that the work can be completed soon.
Property owners who wish to save this
expense can clean their own walks to-
day, or before the workmen arrive to-
morrow morning. They could hardly
expect the public to be satisfied to
wade through the snow longer, waiting
for them to clean their walks.
