On motion the proposition to CO

and the president was instructed to
appoint committee of three to ap-
pear before the village council to
recommend an appropriation of $50
for that purpose. President Nielsen

On motion the president was in.
structed to appoint a committee of
one to confer with the officers of
the Mankato club in regard to the
catalogue. The president appointed
c. T.. Ball.
President Nelson announced the
fact that an outside party would
visit North Mankato soon with a
view Of locating a sanitarium here,
This was greeted with applause.
Henry Robel brought up the mat
ter of setting the time Of clean
ing up day. Mr.. Robel said that
nothing could be done of greater
benefit than to have the va
cant lots, streets and alleys cleaned
of rubbish of all kinds, underbrush,
etc. and later in the season weeds
kept down in the streets as well as
on vacant lots. On motion of Mr..

made one week from next Satur-
day, April Is. On motion of Mr..
Robel it was voted to urge the coun-
Gil to have all vacant lots and al
leys cleaned of rubbish and Md.
nure and underbrush.
In the matter of street lighting il
was the general sentiment that ad.
ditional lights were needed on Ger.
tain streets. After much discussion
1t was voted to recommend TO the
council that lights be placed on the
following streets: South avenue at
the intersection of Center street,
Nicollet avenue at the intersection
of COrnelia street, Garfield avenue
at intersection of Cornclia street
The matter of establishing fire
limit was discussed. 1t was felt
that it was too early to establish q
fire limit and that it might be a
hindrance to building. President Mel
sen suggested that the building OF
brick houses should be encouraged
The contemplated change in the
location of the branch postoffice was
discussed. The vote on the matter
showed twelve for the present loca
ton and seventeen for the location
on Sherman street. 1t was not de-
sired that the club should settle the
matter one way or another, but
merely TO SO show the choice OF
those present. This leaves the mat
ter as far from settled as ever.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Kumerow have
each circulated petition, Both pc
titiOns are largely signed. Those liv
ing toward the west end of the vii
lage desiring the Sherman street To-
cation and those in. the east prefer
the present location. 1t would seem
the best way for the postmaster
to settle the matter would be by as
certaining the center of population
and to choose the most central To-
cation.
The Ladies' Relief society of North
Mankato will meet with Mrs. A. An
derson, Nicollet avenue, tomorrow
afternoon. All who are interested in
this work are invited,
A large number of new dwellings

out of town who had made inquiries
did not see fit to submit any plan,
SO that only three propositions with
preliminary plans were received.
These were from John Wilson, J. X.
Thompson, Mankato. aud the Oscar
Clossen Engineering company, st.
Paul.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Thompson
were present and each submitted
his proposition to the council. The
Clossen company was represented by
Mr.. Druer.
Taxpayers object to Secret Meet.
When 1t was announced that the
council desired to hear each engi-
neer in secret session it aroused an
objection on the part of the citizens
present who had come to hear aud
know of the transaction of public
matter.
The council quickly saw it's mis-
take and adjusted an arrangement
whereby two of the engineers with
drew from the room so that each
engineer was heard separately, the

withheld. This arrangement was sat

Many Coal Entries Void.

Denver.-Under decision OF the
United States Circuit Court OF Ap-
peals. Just rendered at st. Louis. suits
may be brought by the government
to regain thousands OF acres OF coal
ianos in Colorado and other states filed
upon fraudulently. The decision was
given in the case Of the government
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
Company OF Wyoming. which was an
appeal from a decision Of Federal
Judge Lewis. The ruling OF the Court
Of Appeals. which reverses the deci.
sion OF Judge Lewis, is that lands may
be proved to be coal lands by expert
geological testimony. and that out
groupings OF coal are not necessary to
prove the character Of the lands. The
ruling heretofore has been that lands
were not considered to be coal lands
unless veins appeared through the sur
face.

viii Reclaim 47,ooo Acres.

Denver.-The State Land Board ap-
proved petition for the segregation
OF $4,000 acres of Cary act land lying
in San Miguel and Montrose counties
approved 1t conditionally. Duncan
Chisholm of Colorado Springs is the
petitioner, and with him are associated
Gen. Bulkelcy Wells Of Telluride. and
Chaloner Schley of Colorado Springs.
The scheme also involves the reclama-
ton Of $1,000 acres of privately owned
land in the same vicinity; and the com
pletion of the project calls for an irri-
CATION system and railway enterprise
which together will cost. it is estimat-
ed, about $5,500.OO0.'
The Land Board stipulates that the
Cary act land shall not be segregated
excepting under contract calling for
the completion of the irrigation system
as outlined by Robert McF. Doble, the
engineer for the petitioners. 1t is also
stipulated that the company shall be
permitted to charge $55 an acre for
water rights affecting the Carey act
lands. The company may charge what
ever price it can get for water rights
affecting the privately owned lands.
The railroad feature Of the project
calls for an extension OF the Denver Il
Rio Grande system for about fifty or
sixty miles from Placerville into the
territory to be developed. The cost of
the extension Is estimated at about
$1.5O0,O0O.
