and it is one of the principal fea-
lures of the building.
There is kitchen in the rear
with a range and cabinets, and there
is also a large check room, and
there is a sewing room in the cor
ner for the ladies' societies. The
lodges and ladies' societies of the
parish will hold their meetings there
In the rear of the stage is land
ing where travelling companies can
bring in their equipment and special
scenery, and there is an actors pri-
vate stage entrance. The stage is
well lighted with electricity, includ-
ing footlights.
Those Who Have Been Interested.
The architect and superintendent
of the building is Henry c. Gerlach
of this city, and the general contrac-
tor is Eric Carlstrom. c. M. Masters
has the heating and plumbing con-
tract. Gus Eichstaedt the wiring and
lighting, Phil McGraw the gas fix
lures, the Brunswick company of
Minneapolis the contract for install
ing the bowling alley, the Twin City
Scenic company the contract for the
scenery, F. H. Nuebel that for the
steel sheeting and roofing, and the
John Klein company that for the
opera chairs. The Twin City brick
yards turned out the pressed brick,
which is of very nice color. Man
kato orange stone has been used in
the basement and for the trimmings.
All have done their work well and
faithfully.
The building committee, which has
rendered splendid work, is composed
of Rev. Father A. ]. Spirig, S. j.,
chairman, John H. Holman, Robert
Lamm, Otto Lamm, Martin Walser,
Frank H. Nuebel, August Schultz,
William Wittrock, P. N. KOrth, John
N. Degelman, Joseph H. Thro, and
Louis Mayer.
Work on the building was started
October "a last, and on March 10
the corner stone was laid. 1t is ex-
pected to have the building going IN
all of it's departments by Sept. l.,
and soon after that house warm
ing is to be given. The building
will accomplish great things for the
young men of the church, without
doubt and will be one of the strong
points for the upbuilding of the
parish and church. The latter and
the city are equally to be congratu-
lated on having so splendid an in
StitutiOn.

If plans which are already well
under way materialize, the manufac
ture of automobile trucks will be add
ed to Redwing's big family of grow
ing industries, says The Redwing Re-
publican. Negotiations have for some
time been carried on between the
Mankato Motor Truck company and
the Redwing Motor company to bring
this about. A stakeholder of the local
company went to Mankato this morn
ing with view of reaching con-
.clusion at that end of the line and
he is likely to bring back signed doc
uments which will put the PROPOSE
ton squarely up to the owners of the
Redwing Motor company for ratifica-
ton.
Agreed to Proposition.
AS matter of fact the leading
stockholders and the board of direc-
tors, as individuals, have already
agreed to the proposition and the
strong probability is that within the
near future one of the best motor
trucks in the country will be manu-
featured side by side with the best
power launches on earth.
representatives of the Mankato
concern were recently in Redwing
for the purpose of raising capital to
build a new factory here. When they
learned that the Redwing Motor COM
pany had plant thoroughly equip
ped for the building of motor trucks
as well as motor boats. negotiations
were opened for a consolidation.
Controls the Patent.
The Mankato Motor Truck company
controls the patent on an automobile
truck of exceptional merit. The power
is applied directly to each of the
four wheels which is said to be an
exceedingly desirable feature. The or
binary motor vehicle has power APP
piled to the back wheels alone and
on that account has trouble in muddy
and sandy places, and also in negoti-
ating heavy grades. In this truck
where the power is also applied to-
the front wheels there is less danger
of being stalled since the front
wheels pull the truck out of sand or
mud where the rear wheels alone
would be powerless to extricate it.
