that when it is repaired a good, strong

see the mill renovated and go into the
hands OF some first class mill man. such
as Mr.. Warkectine OF the Newton and

of the best mill men in the west, and if

Preparations Are Being Made to Decorate
Encampment Week.
Princeton is making preparati ons to
put on her holiday attire for the week
of June Is, and workmen are busily
engaged in erecting flag poles in diff
ferent parts of the town. Just what
the decorations will be has not yet
been definitely decided, but three
arches at least will be erected. One
will be at the intersection of Main and
First streets, the second will be on
First street opposite the court house,
and the third at some point near the
depot. The Main street arch will be
the most elaborate as it is planned to
have it surmOunted by dome, and
otherwise decorated.
Secretary Patterson announces that
the interest in the encampment is
growing, and unless all men are liars,
there will be crowd in Princeton dur
1 ing that week which will be. revela-
ton to the eldest inhabitant. he
interest in the prize drill is also ms
creasi11g and it is quite likely that
several OF the camps from Minneapolis
and st. Paul will be entered in the
contest. The exact program of events
has not yet been arranged but this
work will be completed shortly when
it will be published in the UNION.

SUGAR BEETS.


How They Are Grown, Yields and Possible
Crops.
We CLEAN the following facts from
bulletin No. 8 University experiment
station: During the eight years the
experiments have been in progress,
l,079 samples of sugar beets grown in
Minnesota have been analysed, yield
ing an average of 14.O4 per cent sugar,
and purity coemcient of S0.54. =
Some of the tests have shown over 20
per cent sugar, while IL per cent is con-
sidered sweet enough to pay. The sta
tion in 1892 sent a carload of beets to
the Oxnard factory in Nebraska, where
they proved a great success. 1.-THE
sugar beet thrives best on loan soil;
one that contains a fair amount of
sand. A good corn soil is usually a
good beet soil. The soils of this State,
at present, do not require any manur-
ing for raising sugar beets. There is a
general tendency to over-estimate the
yield per acre. While it is possible to
obtain as high as 30 or 40 tons per acre,
the average yield is more nearly IA
tons. The best time for planting is
from May 5th to June 1st. The ex-
pertinent station, ST. Anthony, will
analyze samples that are sent in, if ex-
press charges are paid. Well drained.
soil rich enough for good corn crop
and thoroughly pulverized should be
used for beets. Land clean of weeds
can be handled ten dollars per acre
cheaper than weedy land. Land
should be deeply plowed. For trial
plots rows should be 20 inches apart so
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1897-05-13

that all can be compared and twenty
pounds OF seed should be sown per
acre. The seed should be covered
about three-fourths Of an inch deep.
When the plants have four leaves they
should be thinned to about six inches
in the row. We hope the farmers of
Minnesota will thoroughly test the
raising OF sugar beets this year and be
ready to raise them for market next
year. if the experiments are favorable.

The / Il BOILER |. / ] LET GO
A Terrific Boiler Explosion Occurred
at Book Last Tuesday Morn
Ing With Fatal Results.
J. q. caulfield Was Killed and Five
q Others More or Less Injured
Coroner investigating.

One man killed and five men injured
was the net result of a boiler explosion
at Book Tuesday morning. The ex-
plosion occurred in small sawmill
operated by Book Bros. just after the
mill had shut down to allow the fling
OF the saws. The engineer had just
passed in front of the boiler and seated
himself by the side of it when the
sheck came and, strange as it may
seem, he escaped uninjured while J.
e. Caulield, who was working in the
yard 150 or 200 feet away, was almost
Instantly killed.
Particulars have been very hard to
obtain but from what has been learned
something went wrong with the fnes
and caused a terrific explosion, both
ends of the boiler being blown out,
One OF the large bolts struck Caulfeld,
who was working with William Vinson.
on tramcar in the yard, tearing off a
large piece of his skull and exposing
the brain. "A messenger was imme-
diately dispatched for medical aid but
the injured man breathed only few
minutes and was dead long before the
messenger reached Milaca. Vinson
was struck in the side with some of the
debris and, although no bones were
broken, is seriously injured. The
Others who are injured are Peter Sjos-
from, Samuel Rosin, William Ahlquist
and Frank Benoit,. the latter being in
jured in a runaway caused by his team
being frightened by the noise of the
explosion.
Coroner Tarbox returned last eve
ming from an investigation of the case.
He says the evidences of the awful
force of the explosion are to be found
on every hand Some of the pieces
and bolts are found 200 yards from the
scene Of the accident and chest of
tools which was in the engine room
was thrown so yards. The boiler was

ties but the inspection was a farce.
The boiler at that time was third full
of mud and as the owner was not there
to put up the necessary SIS no pressure
was applied. After giving the boiler
what is termed a hammer test'' the
inspector informed the man in charge
that if certain repairs were made the
necessary papers would be issued.
Whether this was. ever done Coroner
Tarbox was not able to ascertain The
dangerous character of the boiler, how
ever, may be better understood when
it is stated that two or three engineers
refused to run the engine after inspect
ing it.
James Garfield had been in this
county about six years and well liked
by all who knew. him. He was 81
years old and unmarried but had rela-
tives in Howard Lake and brother at
Eagle Bend. He was an honest. indus
trious, young man and had host of
friends among his fellow laborers.
So far as we have been able to learn
no blame attaches the engineer, Her
