Works of Mankato has been in the city for several days in the interests of the pro- posed brick factory and has succeeded in interesting a num- ber of business men of the city who have promised to supply one-half the capital needed for the venture. Mr. Works and another prominent business man of Mankato have already put up the other half of the capital.

Information from a reliable source secured by the Pioneer today leads vo the belief that an- other large sawmill—perhaps not so large as the one now being operated in this city—will be erected here in the near future. The Backus-Brooks company is behind tLe deal, and it can be said with safety vhat this com- pany has had it in mind for some time past to erect a mill either in Bemidji, Northome or Ripple. It is now claimed that the com- pany has practically decided! upon this city as the location for the plant on account of the rail- road facilities to be secured here. The plans for the mill have past but owing to the failure of the building of sche mill. [VOLUNTEER | " FIRE DEPT.| Changes in Present Fire Department. LOCAL PRINTERS OUTBID 0UT- T TSIDE COMPETITION.
