Blair, Of Greenbush, July 81, q boy
y Bob Burch succeeded in starting his
drive nicely last Tuesday and by night
had it nearly to Spencer Brook. ..:
y According to an exchange a hand
full or two of flour from the -four barrel
is the best extinguisher OF gasoline.
If your gasoline stove gets to acting
up, bear this in mind, as a handful of
flour is worth more than half a dozen
pals of water and won't make any
thing like the muss to clean up. i
M. A. Tibbetts has sold his hotel
near the depot to J. L. Larson, who
will probably take possession within
a few days, the deal having been
closed but the transfer has not been
completed. Mr. Tibbetts has man
aged the hotel SO long that he will be
greatly missed. Mr. Larson, the new
proprietor, has the UNIONS best |
wishes for his success.
The water tower has attained suf-
ticient height now so that people can
see what sort of structure it will be
and our town is receiving many COM
pliments. The engine room is being
ceiled and otherwise prepared for the
reception of the power and lighting
plant. When completed the village
will have over three miles of electric
light wires on it's pole line.
The linework on the streets is nearly
completed and as soon as the machin-
cry arrives and is put in place the
electric lights can be turned on. Mr..
Patterson says that as far as the work
of construction is concerned he will be
ready to turn over the plant Sept. l.
He is afraid, however, that there will
be some delay experienced in getting
the machinery on the ground.
Tuesday morning Princeton was Wis
tied by heavy electrical storm and
for a. few minutes things looked decid-
edly interesting in this neck O. the
woods. At l o'clock the gale struck
and for fully half an hour the timid
ones kept the cellar door open ready
for rapid exit. The lightning played
, necessarily but the whole storm ap-
peared to be too far above the earth to
: do any particular damage.
One of the Mile Laos lake mail car
riers has thrown up his contract and
l A. J. Barrett has been secured to
5 carry the mail temporarily. The con.
tractors attempted to sue the bonds
men of the delinquent carrier, but
found the bond to be valueless. If this
experience is repeated a few times the
blanket contractors will lose some OF
, the profits they have hitherto derived
from bleeding the local men.
The Princeton gun club has decided
f. to pay reward of $25 in addition tc
y the remuneration allowed by the State
: for the arrest and conviction of any
= one guilty of shooting out Of season
This will give the complainant a nice
little purse for whatever trouble he
Il may experience in securing convic
>. tion of lawbreakers. The larger par
r of the farmers in this section have
;, signifed their willingness TO cooper
ate with the club in protecting tn
game and so far this year there ha
>, been very little shooting in this vicin
% ity.
n The Milwaukee is said to be prepar
j ing to build line 70 Duluth between
d the Coon Creek cutoff and the ST
o Paul & Duluth. The Northern Pacif
J. is also reported to be planning lin
(, north from Minneapolis. It begins t
t. look as if Northeastern Minnesota vii
l. soon be covered with network of raj
IS roads. It is one of the most produ(
10 tive sections of the northwest and tn
n railroad companies appear to realiz
this and intend to get in on tn
ground floor. But after all it is ne
wise to believe all the railroad rumo1
you hear, even if they are pleasing I
n. you.
Dairy Business.
