Il Washington's annual report was the
chief incident at the meeting. He re-
ported an enrolment during the year
of 1857 students from thirty-two
states and territories, ninety-six OF
these coming from nineteen foreign
countries or colonies of foreign coun,
tries. DR.. Washington reported the
total receipts during the year from all
sources for current expenses, buildings
and improvements, endowment fund
and from undesignated legacies, tota
of 1919. .70S.S3 The endowment fund
|! of the school is now $1,970,214.
/ A particular reason for rejoicing al
the meeting was report made show
ing that practically 100000 has been
raised for the modern steam heating
and power plant which was recently
completed at Tuskegee at a cost OF
h $274, 900 in addition to the money also
raised for current expenses. When the
y trustees met last February for their
| midwinter meeting at Tuskegee there
j was due to be raised TO complete pay,
ment on the steam heating and power
plant $97, 500.
| A systematic campaign was put un'
| der way to raise this money, and dur
/ ing the month of June the whole coun-
| try had been divided into five parts
and had been effectively canyassed
| When the trustees met in June the re.
port was made that the amount need
| ed for the steam and power plant had
been oversubscribed, two of the trus,
| tees alone raising their individual gifts
| Of $4,000 to $12,5 each.
The budget for the next fiscal year
calls for an expenditure of $291.567.

IF ] am not mistaken. the very
first automobile that ever was used
and owned in Blue Earth county
was that of DIR. ID. ID. Smith of ST.
Clair" said G. A. Lewis. proprietor
of the Minneopa garage. today. That
was all of dozen years ago. This
was Steamer automobile. DR..
Smith is now living i'm San Diego.
The first gasoline automobile in
this county, think, and ! am In.
ciined TO believe the very first auto
ofany kind ever operated i'm Mankato
was a two cylinder Winton. This
machine belonged TO A. C. Bennett.
who now lives in Minneapolis. This
was all of fifteen years ago That
anto was burned just a few
months after he got IL. This
happened when Mr.. Benefits barn
took fire. He afterwards sold what
was left of the machine to parties
at Winnebago. and a new body was
built for the machine there,
The second automobile to be
owned in Mankato, I belive. was a
Runabout. This was built by II. T..
Odds of Langsing. Mich. the present
famous builder of the REQ car. I
sold two OF those 10 Rosenberger
and -Currier and one 10 George NJ.
Palmer. That was in the year 1918.
These we're two single.cylinder Run.
abouts.
'In the fall of 1909 we sold some
single-cylinder Cadillacs right here
in Mankato. Judge Pfau got one of
these and Archie Patterson got an
other. But believe Il was j.. b.
Ogle who had the first sinele-cylin-
der Cadillac. He bought the ma.
chine from c. n. Saulpaugh. who at
that time had the agency. The next
year the agency was lin our hands.
MIR. Saulpaugh himself used TO
travel in n Steamer automobile. The
first Steamers were brought into
Mankato about that time by Mr.. Saul
paugh and by DR.. W. W. Eberhart.
MIR: 0gle's Cadillac. the first
that ever. came to Mankato. was a
Model A. They had just begun to
build those cars. That car is still
in use. 1t is now owned by Mr..
Torgerson of Rapidan.
Charles Masters was another who
bought the single-cylinder Cadillac.
THE first Reos were sold i'm Man.
kato In 1907. Dr. Merrill of Amboy
obtained one; Ray Mead. a farmer OF
Lake Crystal. bought another, and
DR. u W. Andrews of Mankato pur.
chased another. In 1908 A. T. Carl.
son obtained REQ. We also dis
posed of quite number of Reos
outside of Mankato. remember
that our establishment in the. year
1907 disposed OF ten Reos.
We hold the oldest REQ contract
i'm the state of Minnesota. We
have been connected with the REQ
people ever since we began to
handle their automobiles.
"Our establishment started in with
room just large enough TO accommo-
date one car That was the first garage
I started and II was on Cherry
steet In the back part of the hard.
ware store. That was in the year
1907. We started In with the capaci-
ty of one car and now in our pres
Ient quarters we have room for 100
cars. We have two stories and a
basement, and our total floor space
covers $4,000 square feet.
