Mapleton

The Commercial club has been busy
of late and at its meeting last week
it was proposed to ask for new de-
pot for Mapleton.- The present struc-
ture was built about twenty-fOuT
years ago after the fire had destroyed
the former building. The town has
entirely outgrown the present pro-
portions. 1t could be conveniently
used for freight purposes. The small
er towns of Minnesota Lake and
Good Thunder have larger. waiting
rooms and more convenient quarters
for the agent. 1t is believed that the
Milwaukee company cannot overlook
the fact that Mapleton is the best
business town on the line except
Mankato and will only need their at
tention called to the matter to- take
necessary steps to put this property
on a par with the remainder of the
street.
C. M. Credicott, cashier of the Ma
|tional bank, Jacob Busch, Frank
Borchert, j. F. Albrecht and B. F.

Ben r. Vardamarl lecture in the opera
house November 16.
Work on the new house of John
Dee is progressing rapidly, it now

STUDIED BY YOUNG LADIES.

Ten young ladies held meeting
last evening, and organized club
for the study of vocal culture during
the winter months. Meetings will be

lowing the regular practice hour the

Lois Macbeth was unanimously elect
ed director and instructor of the
new club.

ORPHEUS CLUB WAS GIVEN
AN OVATION AT WASEcA.

The Mankato Orpheus club was
rendered most royal welcome last
evening upon it's appearance in con-
cert program in the Waseca opera
house Every seat was sold out and
standing room was at a premium, as
Waseca is city that appreciates
good music and there are very few
as large and excellent organizations
as the Orpheus club touring the
country. The audience, was very ap-
preciative, and every number given
was enthusiastically encored. The
demand for encore numbers proved
more than the club could supply, and
repetitions of some of the verses of
the chorus numbers was necessary.
The opinion at Waseca seemed to be
general and coincide with that of
Mankato audiences that "The Cru
saders," was the best heavy chorus
number sung by the club. Miss Mil
dred Oleson, soprano singer, who as
sisted the club, appears to be a very
popular soloist at Waseca, and the
numbers In which she appeared, the
solo parts to the solo and chorus of
Garry Me Back. to Old Virginia."
and "The, Farewell brought down
the house. She was obliged to respond
to repeated encoresy- and was pre-.
sented with beautiful bouquet of
roses by the Orpheus club. DR.. H. J.
Lloyd sang the "Slave Song," and
respondedp.to the applause with 81
Hear You Calling Me- DR.. C. N.
Weyer sang "The Skipper" and was
obliged to sing an encore number.
The quartet, composed of D. M.
Jones, director of the club, Howard
Johnson, Glen Shoemaker, and I. N.
Griffith, were recalled three times,
until they had no more encore num-
bers to sing. 1t was the general
opinion that the club had never sung
better together than at this concert
engagement. Following the program
the singers, numbering thirty-two
club members, went to the Grant ho-
tel, and enjoyed banquet supper.
They returned to Mankato on the
late train, tired but well pleased with
the reception accorded them, and
having enjoyed a splendid trip.

year since the middle of 1918. The in
crease in production was accom-
plished by running mills to Qua
capacity. Recently most mills hav'
been operated "a hours per daryl 70
six days per week. ANS p@f
1.-THE quantity of news print pape
imported, which came chiefly from
Canada, equalled about one-third o
the domestic production and showed
a great increase in the first half o
1916. The quantity exported also in.
creased during this period, though the
exports were small compared will
imports. sThe prices, however, Offered
by foreign buyers were high.
'The stocks Of news print paper
which are very small in comparison
with the production, not only declined
during the first half of 1915, but also
were lower than at any time during
the year 1915. ~
CAS- there was large increase in
production and imports, accompanied
by a decline in stocks, while there
was only small tonnage exported
it is evident that there was a decided
increase in consumption during the
first half of 1916.
Calculations On Increase.
can increase in the demand foI
news print paper is also indicated by
the fact that the, sworn statements
respecting the circulation Of news
papers to the. Postoffice department
generally showed larger issues by the
leading newspapers and by the, fact
that the number of pages by the
larger newspapers have very generally
increased on account of large in
creases in advertising and news mat
ter.
Before the recent price advance,
certain other grades of paper were
showing higher profits per ton than
news print paper and there was a
tendency to change from this grade
to other grades. This movement seems
to have been checked for the present
by the high price of news print
paper.
Furthermore, it is stated that be-
fore the end of this year.. four new
two in this country and two
in Canada, with an aggregate daily
of about 100 tons, will begin
operations on news print paper.
Other projected or pending develop
ments will apparently require a some
what longer time to become available.
ct is not intended in this state
ment to make any prediction about
the future course of news print paper
prices but merely to indicate some
important facts to those interested
in the buying and selling of paper in
order that they may act more adj
visedly in making new contracts.
Moreover. the facts shown here are
confined to matters of statistical
character and do not cover other
phases of the situation, including
various trade activities Of the news
print paper manufacturers, jobbers
md newspaper publishers. These
questions will subject of further
by the commission and
If them will be covered by the public
hearings, which, as already stated,
