In Building; Is Growing
Institution

Lagle Lake, July 26.~At the regu-
lar meeting of the stockholders OF the
State Bank of Eagle Lake held at
the banking house 1ast evening II
was unanimously voted to erect new
building. This new building will be
erected on the corner now occupied
by the Macbeth barber shop, this lot
having been purchased by the bank
The structure will be of the best
grade of pressed brick and much larg-
er than the present bank building
This action of building was taken by
the directors due to the fact that the
bank was showing q good healthy in
crease in the volume of business han
died. The vault room in the present
bank is already inadequate to handle
our files and with the steady increase
in the volume of business it was al
most imperative that a new building
be erected. The plans submitted by
the cashier were with few excep-
lions, accepted by the board. The
work will be done by the ]. B. Nell
sen Construction company. The
structure will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. The officers of the
bank are w. D. Willard, president;
John. Casper, vice president; r. C.

LETTER FROM ELLSWORTH
Replies to Communication Sent BY
ST. James independent.
ST. James Independent. Last

st. James Independent: Last
week the Independent published
communications received from Cap
tain Ivan Bowen of Mankato and
Attorney A. r. Allen of Fairmont, in
answer to the question submitted by
the editor of this paper relative to
their position upon the proposition of
adopting constitutional amendment
to provide for the disfrachisement
of disloyalists and conscientious OBJ
jectors. This week we are permitted
to offer the following communication
from Congressman F. F. Ellsworth
candidate for governor of Mime
sofa. This letter is dated at Wash
ington, d. C. July II, and reads as
follows:
/, "My dear Mr.. Haislet: I have your
letter of the seventh instant and in
reply am pleased to advise you that
I expect to refrain entirely from en-
tering into any discussion of or con-
troversy concerning. the loyalty or
religion of any citizen or citizens
of the state except as they may
or may not bear upon what to my
mind are the real issues involved in
the campaign, and in such case
shall reserve the privilege of making
any and all statements at such times
and places and under such circum
stances as in my judgment will best
appraise the voters of my attitude
and most effectively meet the oppo-
sition offered and keep centered the
attention of the voters of the state
on what consider the most impor-
tant issues to be settled"
From this letter we gather that
Mr.. Ellsworth does not regard the
question submitted in serious light,
as an issue at least, for he concludes
with a reference to what I consider.
the most important issues to be set
tied"

HEARINGS ARE SCHEDULED
Dates Are Set BY the District Traffic
Committee.

Dates Are Set BY the District Traffic
Committee.
The following hearings will be held
before the st. Paul district traffic
committee:
August 7.-On the subject of grain
milled in transit at number Of
Southern Minnesota towns, including
Mankato, on shipments originating
west of transit stations in Minnesota,
Iowa, North and South Dakota, and
destined to Duluth. At present there
is no transit privilege in effect. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad is the petitioner. The argu-
ment for the change is that the pro-
posed arrangement will give the
same privilege to mills at said tran
sit points as at Minneapolis, when
destined to Duluth. 1t is proposed to
have a direct rate from the point of
origin to Duluth.
August 6.-Charges for dockage in
handling carload and less than car
load freight between docks and cars
ON traffic received from or delivered
to lake lines at Duluth, etc. 1t is
proposed to raise the rates from fif-
teen cents per ton of 1000 pounds to
thirty cents, and from four cents per
hundred pounds with a minimum
charge Of twenty five cents where
less than carload freight. to five cents
per hundred pounds, with minimum
of fifty cents. Increased cost Of
service makes the change necessary.
August Logs under ten feet in
length in carloads between stations
. in Minnesota. 1t is proposed to re-
duce the rates. The petitioner is
the National Woodenware company.
The argument is that rates on logs
under ten feet in length should not
be higher than those now applicable
on rough timber and logs nine inches
! in diameter and ten feet or over in
length.

WILHELM STILL IS KING
That Is the Claim Made BY German
Newspapers.

~
Berlin, July 2S.-This mornings
pan German newspapers of Berlin tell
of struggle taking place at German
great headquarters at Spa on Novem-
Der 9, lasting nearly twenty four
house, to induce Emperor William to
|abdicate. Material is adduced to
show that Prince Macmillan of Bad
en-, then imperial chancellor, finally
took the initiative and gave to the
Wolff bureau an official statement
that the emperor had abdicated, as
emperor and king of Prussia, although
it is averred he had done neither and
has never renowned the throne OF
Prussia.
Prince Macmillan, it is declared,
took this step out of misguided pa
triotism in an attempt to subdue the
revolutionary movement and by it
forced the emperoy's advisers to hur-
~ him away to Holland. The pam
Germans now chhrge the former
chancellor with treschery.
