An aggregate of $5,361,8O9 is the
estimate placed upon the value of ag-
ricultural products garnered in the
Yakima valley during the past sea-

trict, $7502 carloads of productions,
including 1912 cars fruit, $3.50 hay,
800 potatoes and 141 cars hops. The
valuation placed upon these exports
are: Fruit, $2,4OO,OOO; hay, $751;
100; potatoes, $221,4O0, and hops,
$352,500. 1t is estimated that there
still remains in warehouse 400 cars
fruit valued at $3.50, 900, one-half
the hay and potato crops, and 1900
bales of hops, valued at $4,000, ma

next Wednesday, at which time Mr.
Farwell of Chicago would speak.
This organization would have for
it's purpose the considering of none
tary questions of the country and
would prove of great benefit to bust
ness men.
Secretary Soaring then read the
communication from former Street
Commissioner Waters, in which he
petitioned for an investigation of the
acts of certain members of the city
council as published in The Free
Press last Saturday
President Crandall said that there
had been a rumor sent out to the
effect that Mr. Waters had circu-
lated a petition for the recall. Some
of the business men had suggested
that it be left to committee to
investigate and the letter was writ
en- as a result.
Dr. Andrews expressed himself
as being in favor of the appointment
Of such an investigation committee,
for, he said, he thought such a COM
mittee would soon prove to the sat
isfaction of the public, that the city
commissioners were all right, and
that there was no basis for charges
against them. Were he a commits
sioner he would ask for an investi-
cation.
Judge Cray heartily endorsed
these views Mr.. Atchison said that
he was not in favor of having this
matter aired in the papers and said
that it sounded queer that Mr.. Wat
tiers did not say anything about the
supposed faults of the commission
ers until he lost his position. He
praised the council and it's actions
in the past They were all fine,
wealthy gentlemen, and were hold
ing their positions, not for the dol
lars it brought, but for the good
of the city.
Mr.. Pass then said that if a com.
mittee was appointed, the members
would find the city commissioners
innocent Mr.. Atchison spoke up
again and said that the, more thing
of this type was encouraged, just
to that extent would it discourage
the best men to run for office as
commissioners, at the next election.
Mr.. Palmer agreed with Mr.. Atchi-
son. But here is a condition that
is facing us. These charges have
been made; you have been asked
to appoint committee and If this
is done, everybody will be satisfied,
and, am sure the committee will
find these men innocent and will
exonerate them. If we don't do this,
the people will keep up the trouble
continually until committee is fl
nally appointed.
The motion made by DR.. ]. w.
Andrews to have committee OF
five appointed was seconded by
George Pass.
The motion carried

Richards words were true, he said
but North MankatO would not ad.
here to his statements. Farmers
that come from Nicollet county from
the north would not drive to the
south end of North Mankato to cross
the river.
George Pass had some interesting
remarks to make about the ques-
ton. He had studied bridges for the
last thirty years. He said it was
hard to satisfy all, but the time
would come wnen more than one
bridge will be built, and when that
time comes, two bridges and not one
will be built. He was in favor of an
overhead bridge if it was practical,
but he said that such a structure
would be absolutely impossible and
therefore thought that another plan
would have to be made. If it were
possible for the city to vacate the
property up to the first pier and then
have the railorad companies move
their tracks along this pier, it might
prove possible to build an overhead
bridge. Thus if the railroad COM
panies confined themselves to two or
three tracks, and have the four
roads pass the station on these
tracks, the grade would be lessened
and the bridge might then be started
at Front street. But he thought this
was out of the question.
He also suggested that a bridge
might be constructed running direct
ly opposite the North Mankato
school and toward the Omaha rail-
way water tank. Such bridge
should be built of concrete. If the
bridge was built at the present To-
cation the old piers could be used,
and hence there would be a great
saving of time and money. But he
also thought that if a bridge of
this kind were built, it should be con-
structed twice as large as the present
one.
Dan Coughlan said that if the
bridge was built in upper town
there would be trouble brewing in
lower town, and that to overcome
this two bridges would have to be
constructed
At this juncture the vote on the
resolution was taken. Mr.. Palmer
explained his vote in opposition to
two. bridges. He said that the coua-
ty had already overdrawn $4,000
on the road and bridge fund and
was therefore in no financial condi-
ton to construct two bridges.
The resolution was adopted
On a motion of Mr.. Palmer the
commercial clubs were instructed to
investigate sites TO rthe bridges and
report back to their respective clubs
The Monetary Commission.
Mr. Palmer reported that there is
movement on foot to form none
tary society in the county, and that
meeting will be held at Redwing

movement. Some expense money
should be allowed the committee.
Rev. w. N. Jamiesons report for
the program committee was very
brief. He said simply: 1--WE pre-
pared the program, have sent in the
bill to Rev. Osgood and you have
heard the results"
Cost of Convention.
George w. Sugden reported for
the finance committee that the es-
timated cost of the convention was
$1,000, that $999.96 had been pledged,
of which $918.96 has been collected
and $237.69 paid out, leaving a
balance on hand of $6S1.27. All of
the bills are in, but not yet en-
dorsed by those ordering them. The
bills amount to $1,020.S0. A further
sum will be needed if the movement
is organized and the work carried
one Some have shown their willing
ness to contribute for this and some
have not been seen at all.
Mr.. Palmer said that it has some
times been said that churches do
business in a slipshod manner, and
CuSlc 10 OlICH IoO LiuCh u uIh III 1hO
statement, but this cannot be said
of the way this convention was
handled, for it was done in a bust
nesslike way.
DR.. c. D. Snow reported for the
entertainment committee, that only
a dozen visitors had to be placed
in private houses.
W. D. Willard reported for the
committee on boys work that a
hundred of the older boys had been
entertained at supper at the Y. M.
G.. A. during the convention, and
that Mr.. Fagenstrom gave them a
good talk. The committee was pre-
pared to follow this up soon after
the first of the year with another
supper for the older boys closely
connected with the Sunday schools
or churches, with the view of arous-
ing interest in the Sunday school,
and it was expected to have the pas
tors, teachers and men from churches
having no classes for boys of that
age, to get them enthused in the
boys work. 1t was proposed to try
to get boys classes organized, and
to get the teachers Of boys classes
and hold an institute on boys
work, and particularly as to the
problems presented in Mankato. 1t
was intended to try to organize a
council with the boys themselves, to

CHURCH AS CITY

crom Tuesdays Daily.

Grom Tuesdays Daily.
Nov WHAT" This subject was
discussed after delicious "conser-
walton dinner" at the Presbyterian
church last evening by the commit
tee of ninety-seven in the Men and
Religion Forward Movement cam
paign in Mankato. The recent con-
vention was only the first gun in a
campaign that it is proposed shall
soon be on i'm deadly earnest, that
Mankato shall have cleaning up"
The old town is to be made as
morally pure and sweet and health
full as it's streets are clean and well
groomed, if the plans of the men
behind this movement do not go
awry.
The meeting last evening was held
for the purpose of making definite
plans for future work. A plan of CO.
operation was presented and adopt
ed and the machinery was secured
for carrying on the work of com
mon interest. Almost every Protest
ant and Lutheran church in the city
was represented.
Forty-one members of the commit
tee sat down to the repast served
by the ladies of the sixth division
of the Presbyterian church Ladies'
Aid society, and none were permit
ted to go away hungry, for a va
riety of good things, served in pro-
fusion, testified to the culinary abil-
ity of the ladies.
Success of Convention.
After the dinner was disposed of,
General Chairman George M. Palmer
called the meeting to order and said
that he was sure that the success
of last weeks convention had been
great. The first engagement had
been fought, and now there were
more battles to be fought. 1t would
be worth all that the convention
cost if the movement was kept up.
The churches, have become &C
quainted, and this cannot be esti-
mated in it's value to the cause OF
religion. The opening gun has only
been fired, and the actual hard
work remains. 1t is to be seen
how the convention is followed up.
He called upon the different COM
mittees for reports. The members
of these committees had occupied
tables by themselves at the dinner.
Professor George E. Nettleton re-
ported for the auxiliary committee
that word should be sent to all
cities and towns in Southwestern
Minnesota that this city is ready
to help them to organize, by sending
speakers, etc.
Rev. E. l.. Heermance reported
for the publicity committee that sam
pies of the advertising material used
in the recent convention had been
sent to siXty-five towns, and that
1000 OF the posters had been or
dered from Portland, Me-, and 500
from Charleston, S. c.. to be printed
i'm Mankato and that Wooster, Mass,
had ordered some of the vest pocket
series. There was some literature
still in the hands of the committee,
| which would be furnished those
| wishing to send it out to other
towns. The committee felt that
| there should be adequate reports of
the meetings and work Of the move,
ment furnished to the newspapers.
There was still some publicity work
needed, and it was recommended
that little newspaper space be
procured, to attract attention to the
