The Pemberton correspondent : OF
the Mapleton Enterprise is greatly
pleased with the suggestion made
by The Mankato Free Press that
the Alphabet road be extended
from st. Clair into Mankato. The
correspondent goes on to say: This
road II extended to Mankato would
mean much to that city. even more
than they realize at the present
time. 1t is simply astonishing. the
amount of business Albert Lea gets
from this branch and right OF ter
ritorylfhat belongs to Mankato. When
this branch was built into Albert
Lea. that town had a population
of FIVE thousand and at the present
time II has over ten thousand OF
course we do not mean that this
branch has alone caused this in
crease in population but IL has been
a great help In building up that
city for 1t Is fine city and has
excellent business men in It. blu,
1t is out of our territory and the
people in this vicinity want to gel
Ito Mankato. our home town, where
our fathers have done their trad
ing for the past forty years OF
more and where we want to con
tinue to do our business. Allow
! your humble servant to make a sug
gestion. Why not call mass meet
ing at Mankato as soon as the roads
get so people can get there witt
autos. invite the officials OF the Chi
cago, Minneapolis and st. Paul rail
way to attend and show them how
the people are Interested and how
liz would beneft them and we ara
of the opinion that 1t would have
considerable weight and they coult
be induced to do something. WI,
not!''
