OPTION ON COLLEGE SITE
Winona Board of Trade Picks Some
Desirable Property.

Winona, MINI. December 14.-Late
yesterday the committee of the. Wi
mona board OF trade secured an OPP
ton on the 105 acres ut the foot OF
Gilmore valley, belonging to Mrs.
C. c. Beck, upon which Bishop Hef-
from has looked favorably with the
idea of locating his Catholic boys
college. The committee holds the
privilege OF buying the land for $685.
900. The site, in case it is accepted
by the bishop, will be given him out
right.
The Beck place is on the tableland
overlooking the city at its outskirts
on the west. At present ninety acres
is farm land, ten acres woodland and
three acres orchard. The home, a
large historic building, could be used
as one of the college buildings.
The committee considers the Sc
curing of the option of the site as
practically sufficient to land the col
lege. However, the bishop is reticent
and his failure to state positively
that the institution will be brought
here now that the option is secured,
leads to the belief that he is holding
the matter open until the money is
raised.
Rochester has not given up hope
of landing the college.

NICE JOB FOR THE RIGHT MAN
Wanted, Someone TO Carry Mail On
st. Clair Route.

ST. Clair Route.
POstoffice Inspector II. O. Smith of
st. Paul has this county under his
jurisdiction again, and is in the city
for a few days. He is trying to get
somebody to put in a bid for the
star route contract for carrying the
mails between Mankato and st. Clair.
Mr.. Hanson's contract expires June
80 next, and he does not desire to
continue to carry the mail after that
time, and will not put in a bid. He
is doing the work for $3.50 a year
now
Mr.. Smith has not been able to get
any bidders. The man who gets the
contract must furnish his own con-
veyance. 1t would seem as though
this would be pleasant outdoor oc-
cupation for someone who needs to
get out to build up his health. There
is some extra income from carrying
packages and passengers, aside from
what the government pays. AnyonS
who desires the job should let Mr..
Smith know at the Hotel Heinrich or
notify Postmaster Veigel.
