together with David, the ex-

The two men went down to the living
room.
One on each side of the couch, they
faced John Diamond. The millionaire

SHIPPERS MEETING
AT SPRINGFIELD

There was an excellent meeting of
representatives of shipping associa-
tions of this section of Minnesota at
Springfield on Saturday, February
22nd. Redwood county was repre-
scented by a good committee. The pur-
pose of the meeting wa sto discuss
the question Of shipping direct or to
the terminal market. Rueben Potter
called the meeting and Joe Montgom-
cry of the Central Cooperative AS
ISOLATION, reviewed the history of
livestock shipping. 1t was argued out
that while direct shipping was pay
ing more money, temporarily, the in
crease was at the expense of the peo-
pie who shipped to the terminal
market and that if all shipments
were sent to the terminal markets,
the market would be materially
strengthened. The members voted to
use their influence to direct all live
stock to the terminal market and
avoid direct shipping. 1t was furth-
err agreed to have a committee COM
posed of all shipping associations
who would meet for the purpose of
electing a set of officers and organ
ize one central group who would re-
present all the associations in this
territory. These men will call meet

Heavy Grading On Road
Grading List For 1880

One town, Wanamingo, will be
placed on trunk highway through
the grading of GA miles on No. 21.
The temporary route of No. q be-
tween Zumbrota and Kenyon went 3
miles south of Wanamingo. A new
route will be graded this summer di-
rectly west from Zumbrota to Wanna
mingo. From there the road will be
temporarily routed south to the pre-
sent road, but at some future time
permanent road will be built directly
west from Wanamingo to Kenyon.
The job includes two thirty foot
bridges.
Two Jobs on the list, one on T. H.
No. 6 and one on No. 40, are part of
one project. 1t is proposed to route
No. 4s straight west from Clarkfeld,
using state aid road for miles,
then building AL miles of new road
directly west, where it will join the
relocated No. 6. The latter road will
go three miles west from Candy, six
miles north over state aid road to
d JulSIlOIl Will lHC ISlOSoICu ANo. 70
then three miles of new road will be
built from this point to a junction
with the old No. at the turn IL
miles northeast of Candy. The re-
routing of these two roads will fur
nish a shorter and better route from
Granite Falls and Clarkfield to points
west and northwest. 1t will be the
same length as the old route from
Clarkfield to Candy and points south
and southwest. Two bridges, one 40
and one so felt, are included in the
project.
A half mile grading job on No. 9
at Rushford is the last link in the re-
location of this route between Rush
ford and Lanesboro.
The proposed paving jobs include
T. H. Nos. 5 and 16 from Mankato to
Lake Crystal. Contracts were let
some weeks ago for paving No. 5
from st. Peter to Mankato, and the
new project extends the pavement
9.S miles farther into southwestern
Minnesota.
Two other paving jobs call for a
total of 1873 miles of new paving on

Bids Called for on Paving East
From OwatOnna and South
west From MankatO

Bids on 27.0 miles of paving, 1863
miles of grading, twelve new bridges
and widening two bridges, will be
opened at the offices of the Minneso-
ia Highway department March II,
Commissioner c. Nj. Babcock an
nounces. With contracts previously
let, this will make total of 230.4
miles of grading let or advertised for
the coming summer. A limited
amount of paving and several addi-
tional grading jobs will be advertised
later in the spring, Mr.. Babcock
states.
The largest grading job is from
Lake City to Wabasha, a project call
ing for 100000 cubic yards of exca-
walton. The new road, 1873 miles
long, will cut the distance between
these points 1.3 miles and will remove
two long, steep grades. The new
road will be laid between the bluffs
and the railroad along the river, and
will be another link in this widely
known scenic highway.
"This will be one of the most ex-
pensive projects we have undertaken,
and we have postponed it as long as
we could" Mr.. Babcock states. "With
the heavy and steadily growing traf-
fic nthis road, it became imperative
that it be paved and we did not want
to pave until we could eliminate the
climb over the hills on the old route,
and cut the distance to the minimum.
On a route with lighter traffic, the
road over the hills might have been
used for several years more, but traf-
fic on No. 3 requires that we complete
the unpaved gaps as rapidly as is
physically possible.
After grading is completed, time
must be allowed for settlement of the
heavy fills. 1t will probably be 1882
before paving can be completed. Two
IS foot bridge, two so bridges and
one 80 foot bridge are included in the

this section could spend the day there
and get a good idea as to the way
the livestock is actually handled.
