May Drain Hunters Lake.-Wel-
come Times.-Farmers in the vicin-
fty of Heron Lake met at Heron Lake
village last week and are taking pre-
Iminary steps to drain that lake.
Heron Lake has long been noted as
the best game refuge in the state but
the farmers have come to the CON
clusion that they have long enough
maintained this lake for the Twif
City hunters. The matter has been
left in the hands of attorneys who
will figure out the best manner in
which to proceed with it's DRAINAGE.
Regarding Dan Brown.-Madison
Lake Times: Dan Brown, one of our
pioneer citizens, now located in North
Dakota, recently sold his quarter sec
ton near New Rockford for $105 per
acre and will hold an auction sale of
his personal effects. Dan recently
sold his 185 acre farm near Madison
Lake for $165 per acre, and the pro-
ceeds of these two sales, combined
with the increment from his Liberty
bonds should put him well along to-
ward the last house in easy street
and enable him to spend the winter
in the tropical climate of Madison
Lake.
Reports On Lighting.-Welcome
Times: The electric light commit
tees from Ceylon, Dunnell and We'll
came met in Welcome one evening

ceive the reports Of an engineer The
engineer submitted figures showing

line would cost in the neighborhood
Of S1,700 per mile. Cold feet develop

teemen and the engineer was in
structed to give figures for q cheaper
constructed line which will be sub
mitted at later date. The electric
light proposition seems to be as far
away as ever and unless a good line
can be constructed at more reason
able figure will likely fall through al
toS0tnCr.
Pleased With PaviIion.-T. B. Tay-
lor and Judd Cornell while at Man
kato Tuesday, visited the fair grounds
and were much pleased with the
progress being made on the cattle
barn and sale pavilion, says The
Mapleton Enterprise. The contractor
informed them that the barn and pos

by fair time. 1t is a well planned
building and the comfort of man and
beast is being considered. This build
ing will be a great incentive to every
live stock breeder In the county and
surrounding country as people from
other counties are already asking the
privilege of taking stock IN the pro-
ject. Mankato business men will
soon realize the value of their invest
