From Thursdays Daily.

The surveying party for the st.
Paul Railway Promotion company,
which went to work in the city Tues
day morning, finding feasible route
cast for an electric car line, is still
in the city. The past two days the
crew has been running a line up Glen
wood avenue, past the cemetery. This
affords the easiest grade, and very
uniform one, and the line could run
through East Mankato, or else send a
branch line through that suburb. II
is an easy matter to strike the Eagle
Lake road, and thence keep ON east
The surveying party will be in the
city for day or two yet, anyway

striving for the honor remains TO be
seen. There are many things in Guth-
rics favor and she should extend the
olive branch to her friendly neighbop
and make some effort to secure the
vote from this size OF the state. The
natural place for the capital Is there,
