DOING GOOD WORK.

One Princeton Lumber Firm Are Said to
BE Doing 1t.
w. Fl. Cakes, of the firm of Wood
cock & Cakes, came down from the
lumber region this week and was seen
by the UNION yesterday. Mr.. Cakes
says the lum bermen in the vicinity of
Grand Rapids, where his firm is To-
Gated, have nothing to complain of in
this weather. There are four inches
of snow and the roads are in excellent
condition. Work in the woods is much
easier than when there is a heavy de-
post and therefore everything is NOV
smoothly. His firm is hauling 100, 900
feet per day on an average but as they
have 100000 feet to haul their
crew will not finish before April l.
Woodcock & Cakes have a crew of
80 men and so far but one man has
been injured. Several of the boys
have been in the hospital on account of
an epidemic of measles but no one has
been seriously i'll. Rum river lumber
men have good reason to envy their
more fortunate brethren of the upper
Mississippi. r. .-

To Open the Reservation.

and request the commissioner to rec
ommend the passage of the resolution
recently presented in the house by
Mr.. Morris declaring the land within
the former Mile Laos Indian reserva-
tion subject to entry under the general
land laws. The resolution provides
that all homestead entries or applica-
tions to make. entry heretofore made
shall be received and treated as made
upon any of the public land of the gov
eminent. There has been much de-
rnand to have these lands open for set
Element and Messrs.> Davis and Morris
are hopeful that the land commission
er's approval of the resolution will be
shortly followed by it's passage through
both houses. ..
In this connection Congressman Nor.
ris has been furnished with a map
which shows every piece of land %on
the reservation and it's condition.

The saloon and the church of Christ
always have been and always will be
antagonistic to each other. Is it not
then clearly the duty Of all; mem bers.
of.the church to do all in their power.
to'suppress the saloon2 Fl The church
was started to- make the world better
and to people heaven with saints re-
deemed out of the world. The saloons
are in body-snatching and soul-de-
stroying business. T do not think a
disciple of Christ has any right to
drink intoxicants, to sell them to his
neighbor, to consent to the granting of
licenses, or to vote directly or indi-'
rectly for the perpetuation of the traf-
fc. It should be the first duty of
Christian men to save their own chill
dren from the wrath to come. Mil
lions of homes in this fair land have
filled with sorrow by the death or de-
graduation of some loved one who.might
have been an ornament and a support
to the home but for the seduction of
the saloon, and the only political party
that purposes to put away the cause of
all this mischief is the Prohibition
party. Have Christians right to
withhold their ballots from such a
party? This last is Judgment day
question which had better be answered
in the negative, while the voter is still
in position to act. If the soul of a
mothers boy is priceless, give him the,
benefit of your vote. An opportunity
to vote for Christ, home ane country

1t PleaseS All.

There is one thing which does more
to make Princetanites proud of their
village than any other, and that is the
mplimentary remarks which are al
ways heard from our visitors. Prince
ton has never experienced a boom, but
the town is so situated that its growth
has been steady if not as rapid as some
of it's sister villages. There is not q:
business man who leaves his property
at standstill but each year each one
does something to improve his posses
sions. It is this fact which calls the
attention of visitors to our prosperity
and for this reason Princeton is one of
the best advertised towns in the State.
People who come here always have.
something pleasant to say Of us when
they mention us abroad. The loyalty
of its citizens is shown on every hand.
The people do their trading at home.
and the profits from their purchases
enables the merchant to improve his
buildings, enlarge his stock and in m
cidentally he assumes a large part OF
the burden Of public expenses by in
creasing his taxation. Towns prosper
when their citizens pull together and
Princeton stands as an object lesson to
towns whose citizens patronize cata-
logue houses and every travelling fakir
who visits them. Money earned and
spent at home always brings prosper

Patronize Home Merchants and You Will

Here is some advice from the
Mazeppa Tribune which can be read
with profit by few residents in Mile
Laos county: 'sWho helps to pay your
.taxes-the fellow who calls on you and
solicits your grocery trade for firm
which transacts its business in a for
eign State or. the dealers who reside in
your own town or county? Are your
taxes SO heavy that you think they are
burdensome, and do you ever expect to
see them lowered by patronizing peo-
who do not help to pay those Of your
State or county? Don't you think that
the dealer who is permanently located,
buys in large quantities and sells more
in a day by far than the traveller,
ought to be able to sell cheapest?

sanity and which ended in a release Of

GREATER NEW YORK.
BORN AND CHRISTENED WITH THE
NEW YEAR.

The Event Celebrated With a Bril-.
liant Parade-Midnight Turned
Into Day-The Mayor of San
Francisco Unfurls the American
Flag by Electric Touch.
There was "watch meeting" worthy
of attendance, when the people of a
city numbering one and a half millions
turn out to do honor to a re-birth of
the municipality. The legal consoldia-
ton of the various suburban districts
into Greater New York became effec-
tive at midnight when the old year
merged into the new. The event was
fittingly celebrated by grand parade
in which floats and electric lights
composed procession which was both
spectacular and brilliant.
The old City Hall was brightly illu-
minated with strings of electric lights,
beautifully colored electric shields and
American flags, composed of revolving
lights.
Many of the buildings surrounding
the park were decorated with hand
some electric devices, while several
bands of music We'd with the bearers
of trumpets and tin horns to entertain
the people.
There was an immense float repre-
senting the Brooklyn bridge, with
cables Of evergreen, on which the we'd
ding of Father Knickerbocker and
Miss Brooklyn was celebrated in truly
German style, amid much merriment.
Then float followed float in rapid
succession. An hour before midnight
bombs placed on the lawn gave the
signal that the parade was approach.
ing, and just a little later the first of
the procession turned into the park.
A huge balloon with trailing light was
sent up and it swept across the park.
A blazing American flag floated down
and remained burning until the bal
loon went out of sight.
The drizzling rain had turned to
snow, but the great crowds remained,
surrounding the paraders who had
gathered in the park for the ceremony
of the night. At exactly IL o'clock
the searchlights ON the neighboring
buildings were turned upon the flag
staff of the City Hall.
AS the hands pointed the exact hour
little white ball was seen to climb
the staff slowly. The Mayor of San
Francisco has touched the button and
the electrical current sent the furled
flag Of the city of New York to the
staff. Here it broke out and swung
into the breeze.
Then bedlam broke loose. Hun
dreds of bombs were thrown into the
air. sending down their showers of
blazing stars, and the salute of 100
guns was fired by the Second battery
of the National Guard. Soon after the
crowd dispersed.

600 pounds left, or, as some compute,
100000 pounds. The tale of Alex
ander's loot is most wonderful of all,
and that is historic. If we entertain
doubts, it is futile to express them
when the statements are so clear and
the means of disproving them absent.
In the Persian camp, then, and at
Babylon, Alexander secured some
thing like 100000 pounds; at Per-
sepolis, 100000 pounds; at Pasa-
gurda, a trife of 100000 pounds; !;
and at Ecbatana, 27O.OO0,OO0 pounds
say 55O,OOO,OOO pounds. And Darius
carried off 100000 pounds, which
his murderers seized.

more in a city, but groceries cost less

the same for bushel of apples. The
peaches we're home dried, and we like
them better than canned ones. The
