Minnetonka people, who have for
years contended that the only fruit
country in the State was around the
borders of their lake, are beginning to
recognize the possibility of rivalry
from this section. Mile Laos lake can
furnish just as good land and little
better protection from frosts than Min
netonka and the fruit grower is not
obliged to be millionaire to secure
tract of land large enough to begin the
business. Several of the old Mime
tonka fruit raisers are already located
in our county and others will follow.

This is a good time for you to plan
on the improvements you intend to
make this year. Choose the trees YOU
expect to set out and decide where you
are going to place them. Plan your
crops for each field and when the time
comes you. will find that everything
will move better than if you waited
until the last moment before planning.
Get your plows and drills repaired be-
fore the blacksmith is rushed and see
that your wagons are in shape for bust
ness before they become absolutely
necessary.

WHY NOT ORGANIZE
Board of Trade Would Benefit Prince.


Board of Trade Would Benefit Prince
ton This Year.
With the prospects of an era of pub
lie Improvement it seems to the UNION
that one of the best things which the
business men of the village could do
would be to organize board of trade.
This would give US an organization
which would represent the village as
a whole and with the special powers
which the State laws give such bodies,
would be valuable adjunct to our
council in securing such improvements
as would permanently benefit the town.
If we had a board of trade there would
be someone with authority to act in
the new creamery matter which is now
being considered individually by the
business men and in a hundred and
one other ways which would become
apparent If once organized. Let the
business men and property owners get
together and once organized they will
never regretsit. u +

Harry Donovan Was Wounded III !, phil
ippine Engagement.
Tuesdays press dispatches from the
seat of the Philippine war contain the
name of Harry W. Donovan in the list
of wounded. Mr.. Donovan is son of
Rev. Donovan, Of the Congregational
church of this village. and is known to
many of the young people of Prince
ton as a student at Carleton college.
When the war broke out the young
man offered his services and was &C
cepted, being a private in the First
North Dakota, U. S. V. The tele-
gram announces that he was wounded
in the forearm in Sundays engage
ment near Malolos and the wound is of
moderate severity. This brings the
war home to US in all its reality and
the papers are being closely watched
by those who have friends in the far
east.
The fighting Third, of the regular
army, has arrived at its destination
and within forty-eight hours after it
had left the transport was on the firing
line. This regiment took part in the
Cuban campaign, lost seven of it's men
in the Indian uprising in this State
last fall and now is plugging the
Negroes of Luzon. In this regiment
are three local boys who enlisted
just few days before the regiment
started for Manila. They are Messrs.
Stone, Fullweiler and Sanborn, all of
whom reside a short distance below
the village.

There will probably be an oppor-
tunity for the voters of this district to
decide whether or not the method of
beating the new school house shall be
changed before next winter. There
has been considerable trouble expert
enced during the past season in keep
ing the rooms at the proper tempera-
ture and also with the ventilation, and
some are advocating that the furnace
be changed for a steam heating plant.
The matter will probably be brought
before the annual school meeting in

capt. Patterson's Dwelling on Main Street
u - Burned Friday.
Princeton had another fire last Fri
day and another dwelling has gone up
in smoke. The fire caught in the
second story of Capt. I. C. Patterson's
residence on Main St. shortly before
O'Clock Friday morning and although
assistance was soon at the scene of the
fire, with the facilities at hand it was
impossible to save the building.
Some Of the furniture on the first
floor was. saved but most of the furni-
ture and clothing in the chambers was
destroyed. The captain was away
from home at the time, being employed
by: G. H. Rines &. Co. His loss was
partly covered by policies in Chas.
Keith's agency, there being $1,000 on
the building and 5000 on the contents.
Adolph Holm, who boarded there,
was a heavy loser, all his clothing be-
ing destroyed. He also had quite a
sum of money in his room which was
not saved and as he had no insurance

Push the Representative.

Editor Representatives:
The other day read in paper of u mass
meeting of farmers and business men held
in Blue Earth City, for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of issuing bonds for the
proposed new railroad to be built between
Belle PLANE, Iowa and Blue Earth City,
Mimi. The motion to issue bonds passed
unanimously, and will be submitted to a
vote Of the people,
l do not mean to say that railroad be-
tween the two cities as proposed, Is not de-
sirable for the public in that locality, but
1 venture to say that the railroad corpora
ton back of the move to build the road is
better able to pay for the construction Of
1t than the farmers and business men along
the line of the proposed road.
A thought struck me. that, II we grain
growers of Minnesota and the Dakotas had
been half as liberal in taxing ourselves for
better facilities for handling and marketing
our produce at terminals, as we have been
in taxing ourselves for the benefit Of rail-
road corporations and other matters. we
would today have had terminal elevators
at Duluth and Minneapolis. and been In a
fair way to control the price, and, handling
of our own products.
Although late, but not too late, the grain
growers of Minnesota are advancing rapid
ly to the 'front.' and on Jan. 4th organized
the Grain Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton of Minnesota
Now, every charter member of the asso-
citation, and almost all of those that have
read the proceedings Of the meetings we had
in St. Paul, believe as the writer does that
the course Of the Grain Growers Co-opera-
tive Association is right and it's speed should
be increased.
To this end, everyone that takes the Rep
resentative should try to get subscribers for
it, for after the meetings we have had. and
the interest the Representative takes in the
matter, we expect its columns will be heav-
lily freighted with matters of interest to the
farmers and citizens of our state and the
United States. Respectfully,
H. L. SAND.

The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead

Money spent for brass bands, torch
light professions and free railroad ex-
cursions may bring temporary gains.
Money spent for reform papers sent
into the homes Of the masses does re-
form work that is permanent.
We will send to one address. or to

The Song of the New state, by Mons
SIM, or, What Would 1 Dos

(Were the State)
1-Vhat would l do?
I would free one and all be they black or
white,
And teach them the use of their God given
might,
To battle for truth and humanity's right.
This would 1 do! Yes, this would l do!
2-What would do?
I would limit each man to his share Of the
soil.
And protect him, for aye, in the fruits of
his toll:
But crush every tyrant who lives on his
spoil.
This would do! Yes, this would do!
3-What would do?
I would trample to dust every usurer's bank,
And exile to hades all gold standard cranks,
Loan my money direct to all honest ranks.
This would do! Yes, this would 1 do!
4-What would do?
Furnish idle men work who for work will
apply,
For the man who'll not work let him suffer
and die:
But give heed o, We rich to the laborers'
cry.
This would do! Yes, this would do!
5-What would I do?
Up to age q every child should be taught
What would make men and women in action
and thought,
Who by foul politicians could never be
bought.
This would do! Yes, this would do!
But since we have no state except "den
of thieves" the above principles are not
yet put into execution.
