Lake.

A Minneapolis Man Pleased With the Big
Lake.
A. 7. Ankeny recently visited this
section, and in communication to the
Minneapolis Journal, has the following
to say of it:
I had occasion lately to visit the re-
gion lying about Mile Laos. I was
then deeply impressed with the abso-
Lutte necessity of our having a connec-
ton between Minneapolis and that
lake. The Great Northern now runs
to Milaca, distance of sixty-four miles,
and with an extension of about twenty
five miles we would be brought within
a p hours ride of what in my Judgment
would soon come to be one of the most
noted summer resorts in the northwest.
Lake Mile Laos has an interesting
history. It was at this point the two
French explorers came in about 1858,
more than twenty years before Father
:Hennepin discovered the Falls of ST.
Anthony. ! It was called by them Lake
Buade, but the Indian name, signifying
.'much water has fortunately been
retained. It was here that the Sioux
and Chippewas long contested with
each other the possession Of the valua-
BILE shores. So fervent were. the des-
criptions sent back to the French
rulers that all the territory east of the
Mississippi was ever after regarded as
valuable. In 1853 France, by treaty,
Eceded it to England, and in the revolu-
tion our fathers wrested it from the
mother country. OF.
The lake itself is a magnificent sheet
of water. It has quite regular and

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.

The School Board to Compel all Scholars
to be Vaccinated.
The Princeton school board intends
to enforce the rules and resolutions of
the State board of health regarding
the vaccination of all School children.
At a meeting of the State board of
health August 9th the board declared
that smallpox was now epidemic in
this State, and has been epidemic since
1899, and the following resolution was
adopted: H.. 49,.
Resolved, that the school boards,
school directors and boards of health
in the various districts, insist upon it
that all school children and teachers
in the schools of Minnesota, public,
private or parochial, must show GER
tifcate of successful vaccination since
January 1st, 1896, or, in lieu thereof,
certificate from a responsible physi-
clan to the effect that the party is i'm
mune to vaccination. Such certificate
of vaccination or immunity must be
presented to the proper authorities on
or before October 18th, 1901.
T It becomes the. duty Of the. school
board to enforce this resolution. It is
said that within the last two weeks
smallpox cases have developed in the
vicinity OF Santiago, and there have
been cases at Milo and Oak Park with
in the last six weeks. Many scholars
from outside points attend school at
Princeton and the enforcement of the
resolution Of the State board of health
is the proper thing to do under the
circumstances.

little work done on Monday, other
than to enroll the scholars and get
them properly graded and ready for
work.
Among the teachers there are sew
eral new faces this year there being
five new teachers to take positions in
Princeton schools this year. The
roster is as follows:
Prof. H. E. White, superintendent;
Miss Mary T. Harmon, principal and
first assistant: Miss Helen Moody,
second assistant; Miss Ida King, eighth
grade: Miss Florence Ketcham, sew
enth grade; Miss May Larkin, fifth
and,sixth grades; Miss Maud Murdoch,
fourth grade, and principal of grade
building; Miss Matte Galley, third
grade; Miss Zilla Davis, first and Sec
ond grades; Miss Alice Jones, kinder
garten. Miss, Florence Davis will
teach at the brick yard school.
Miss Harmon, who has taught in the
Princeton school for several terms,
and who has become very popular as
an instructor, will sever her connec-
ton with her school work here in a
week or so, because of the removal of
her parents from Minneapolis to Cali
Ifornsa.. for the@health of Miss Harmonic
sister. Miss Patterson, of Alden, Ia,
will succeed Miss Harmon in school
work here. -: 49,.
Miss Moody, who had the eighth
grade last year, becomes second assis-
tant, and will have high school work
solely. Miss Ida King is advanced
from seventh to eighth grade work.
Miss Florence Ketcham, who will have
seventh grade work, is from Mime
apolis, and Miss Larkin who has the
fifth and sixth grades is from Southern
Minnesota. Miss Murdoch has the
same position as last year. Miss Mat
tie Galley is from Minneapolis, while
Miss Zilla Davis is from Milaca. Miss
Alice Jones who takes up Kindergar-
ten work this year is Princeton girl,
having taught at the brick yard and
other schools in this vicinity.
The attendance this term shows an
increase over that of year ago, the
total enrollmene in the Princeton
schools being S75. It is gratifying to
note the increased attendance in the
high school proper, the classes in the
higher grades and studies being con-
siderably larger than last year.

AS the clock struck twelve Saturday
night the Minnesota prairie chicken
lost the protection of the vigilant game
warden who has been guarding to the
best of his ability the much sought and
coveted bird, and the sportsmen with
hunting paraphernalia and dogs had
the field to themselves.
Princeton sent out large number
of hunting parties, who commenced
the onslaught on the chicken family at
early dawn and staid with the game
until late at night. There was the
usual hustle to get at the charmed
coveys, and it was not long before Mrs.
Chicken and family were little bit
nervous and gave the hunters plenty
of chasing. But the dogs were sure
spoilers and as a rule most of the hunt
ing parties returned with game.

the most nutritious grasses are to-day
going TO vase. Their value in our
market would run into the millions.
Now, what is needed? First, a rail-
road connection from Milaca to Lake
Mile Laos. Next, short connection
from there to Brainerd. This would
give US a connection with the Interna-
tional, now heading for the boundry
line. It would also give US another
direct connection with Crookston and
the Red river valley, certainly desira-
BILE. Then from the lake there should
be a connection on the east side with
the Eastern Minnesota at Swan river.
This would give US direct communica-
ton with the vast iron regions. By a
line of seventy-fve miles we would cut
off over 200 miles now run by way of
Duluth. Our merchants could then
compete with Chicago through Duluth.
Every consideration, both for the de-
velopment of our State and the COM
mercial interests of our city, demands
that this situation be further explored.
With Lake Mile Laos opened up as a
summer resort, and this vast region
made readily tributary to Minneapolis,
the results would be beyond all conjec-
ture. commend it all to our CONNER
cial Club. . ..-&- i g. z..

call for hundreds Of men to spend the
summer in the country. They offer
from SIS to s25 Il month wages, with
board and washing, for able bodied
workmen, but so far comparatively
few have been found. There is a SIM

Tree Planting.

w. w. Barrett, state superintendent
of irrigation and forestry, has issued
an instructive folder, or Arbor Day
letter, in which many valuable sug-
gestions about tree planting are made.
The following is a quotation:
Each tree should be healthy and
sound, with an abundance OF roots, and
of northern growth if possible. The
roots should be kept with judicious
care from the sun, wind and air.
Make the hole considerably larger
than the roots, at least foot or more
on the sides and at the bottom;
sprinkle into the excavation fine, rich
and moist soil to the, depth of six or
more inches. Take your stock in hand

IT has been the fashion to blame the
missionaries-and especially American
missionaries-for the uprising of the
Chinese, and as an excuse for not met.
ing out severe punishment to Chinese
assassins. Minister Conger, who has
just arrived at his Iowa home, and
who is certainly well qualified to speak
on the subject, says that not u particle
OF blame attaches to the missionaries,
and that the boxers themselves do not
blame the missionaries for anything.
The chief cause of the Chinese trouble
is undoubtedly the hoggishness of the
European powers that have forced
China to give up parts of her terri
tory as concessions for some wrong
claimed to have been done to foreign
ers by Chinese, and for which the
Chinese nation is no more to blame
than the United States is to blame for
the killing Of Chinese in the western
mining regions, or the assassination
OF Italians suspected of killing Po-
lice Chief Hennessey in New Orleans.
