THE LAUNCHING.
ga Dusky Beauty Oficiated at Customary
Christening.

.ssA Dusky b eauty" Ofaciated at Customary
Christening.
D.. M. Swain, who returned recently
from Mile Laos lake, says they had a
novel experience in steamboat launch
ing up there. The craft was built by
the well known boat builder, Mr..
Batchelder, of Baytown, for the Foley
Bean Lumber company, while Mr..
Swain furnished the machinery and
other iron work. She is 100 feet in
length, 20 feet wide and Al deep, and
u feet at the bow, and Dave says he
will stake his reputation that she is
the slickest, neatest and altogether the
finest craft of her inches that ever
sailed the waters blue, or any other
colored water.
She was built on the shores of Lake
Shakopee, which is connected with
Mile Laos by Rice lake, and is chris
tened the Foley Bean. When they
came to the process Of launching the
boat, it was the wish not only of the
proprietors, but Of the builders, that
the performance should be conducted
with eclat that a lady OF rare beauty
and accomplishments, well known in
society circles, should christen her
with the usual formalities. From time
immemorial a lady possessing these
qualifications has usually been present,
and just at the oppor tune moment, has
delicately smashed a bottle of wine
across the bows, at the same instant
making some appropriate remarks.
Nota speech exactly, but but simply
calling attention to the incident and
announcing the cognomen by which
the new craft shall henceforth be
known.
But there were some difficulties il
carrying out the usual program, owing
principally to the absence Of wine and

breed, or possibly three-eights.
Anyhow she consented to act as;
gchristener, and the bottle was filled
with the best article Of water obtain
able, and as the gaily caparisoned yes
sci started down in the direction of it's
new home, the gentle Indian maiden
swiped the gliding craft full across the
nose and announced in her own pecu-
liar style the name under which she
was to walk the waters like thing of
lifen during all the future years. It
was just as satisfactory to all con-
cerned, Dave says, as if they had had
all the beauty and. chivalry Of the
northwest to grace the festive occa-
sion.
Al. Blaisdell is to be the captain, and
Tim Sullivan will act in the capacity
of pilot. It is safe to predict a great
future for that boat. Saltwater Mes

A RetractiOn.

To all whom it may concern:
hereby voluntarily and without solicit
tation state and proclaim, that I now
know that Mr.. John Wallace never
had anything to do, nor eyer had any
knowledge of the charge of offense
made against him, by me, before
Charles a. Dickey, Esq, a justice of
the peace of Mile Laos county, on the
9th ultimo. believe it to be just,
manly and right to acknowledge and
admit my error and mistake in this
mattera mistake which was occa-
stoned by meagre and unreliable in
formation and vague hearsay, and I
am now sure that [ never had any
ground or reason for any charge, or
any suspicion whatever against him
for having done anything wrong, and
make this retraction not only in JUS
tice to Mr.. Wallace, but in justice to
myself, also. ERICK MATTsoN.

NEAR TO THE TINE,
New Features Are Being Secured Com
tinually for Sons Of Veterans
Annual Encampment.
Company B, Of Anoka, Will Help the
Citizens Committee Entertain 2
Princeton's Quests.

That the thirteenth annual encamp-
ment of the Minnesota Division Sons Of
Veterans, o. S. A., will be a success
goes without saying, the measure of
the success depending now wholly
upon the weather. Arrangements were
made this week for another military
feature, Company B, 3rd regiment n.
g. S. M, having signified its willing
ness to come and add whatever it could
to the occasion. The Anoka boys are
the best drilled soldiers in the Third,
having secured prizes and medals at
every encampment at which such
things were offered. It has not yet
been decided exactly what they will be
asked to contribute to the program,
but it will be either a sham battle or a
display drill. 81
The work OF decoration goes on
apace, the work on the triumphal arch
at the intersection ofTMain and First;
streets being vel der way ,,.sM..ss
There viii be q detail Of artillery
present from Fort Smelling during the
encampme who will fire the salutes,
ETC., arrangements having been made
with the war department for the use of

Ter Mitchell has secured a large circu-
lar tent 60 feet in diameter and expects
to have things so arranged that $50
people may be fed at one sitting. Col.
Patterson spent yesterday in St. Paul
making final arrangements for unan-
nounced features.
Gov. Clough and staff will be present
during the encampment, as we'll as
Commander-in-Chief Rake, and other
prominent officials and citizens. It
will be a gala week and all who can
possibly attend should be in Princeton

The Lakes Attraction.


From the prairie counties of Swift
and Carver and exodus of farmers is
taking place, and the homeseekers are
casting their lot on the shores of that
queen of Minnesota's thousands of
beautiful lakes, picturesque Mile
Laos. Here they found country that
was a revelation to them-the grand
eur of a sheet of water covering six
townships, the scenic beauty of the re-
ceding, wooded shores, high lands
latent with fertile richness awaiting
the tiller's hand to yield forth bounte-
Gus crops, a climate conducive to
health and rapid growth Of vegetation
rim short, a homeseeker's paradise.
The land of that section is a rich sandy
loan with clay subsoil, sufficiently roll
ing to give perfect natural drainage,
and is wooded with maple, oak, birch,
pine and other hard and soft woods.
The climate is such that fruits and
berries mature with rapidity, and it. is
but a question of a short time when the
Mile Laos lake region will be at re-
nowned as a fruit growing district as is
the Seneca lake vineyards of the En-
pire State. These inducements are at
tracing immig grants. -Aitki7e AGE.

The rear of the Rum river drive
passed through Princeton the first of
the week. Water is being turned on
from the lake occasionally and when
ever it comes the boys make good use
of it. The 'wanagins' were visited by
q large number Of people during the
time they were in town and several
meals were served to the visitors.
