MAKING RECORD FOR ITSELF.
Splendid Work Of sIac EydroEraDhic
Department Of Navy Gaining
international Reputation.

a great number of inquiries which
have recently been received from for
eign navies by Capt. {. c. Todd, chief
photographer of the navy, attest to
the remarkable prestige this branch
of our naval service has gained
abroad. Our photographic service is
conceded to be more advanced and
complete than that of any other navy
in the world, and foreign navies are
endeavorng to emulate the example
set by our own advance in this line.
Requests for information on various
points come from Spain, France,
Greece and practically all of the Eu-
ropean nations, and all proper infor-
nation is given without reserve. In
some cases foreign naval authorities
have offered to pay for valuable bits
of information, concerning reef,
perhaps. which is uncharted on their
own maps, or the unknown depth of
water in some channel. But all that
is asked in return by the hydrograph-
ic office is that the inquirer contrib
ute to the knowledge already in hand
at Washington as far as possible.
The pilot charts which are issued
monthly by the Office are fast gain
ing an almost universal reputation.
They give, beside data of strictly
technical nature. weather forecasts
for the ensuing month covering prac-
tically the whole world.

the interest of that group. There was
large buying of Union Pacific and

Like all the wild game be is rapidly
becoming extinct and soon will be
but a memory.
AS the settlers gradually began to
come into the surrounding country
few evidences of a newer civilization
showed themselves and besides the
big umbering outfits that used to fill
the streets the farmer with bis oxen or
team of horses could be seen in town
selling little farm produce and grain
and doing some trading. Along
through the '70s this new growth went
on slowly, but it was not until the rail
road made its appearance in 1885 that
a new epoch dawned that was destined
to make the place such thriving bust
ness center. In those days the town was
raw, but the opportunities were here
and they were taken advantage of.
THE FIRE ERA.
1t was not until the first fire which
occurred in 1898 that Princeton began

August burned out all the buildings
on the east side of the street from
where the Carew corner is now clear
up to and including the North Star
hotel. In September of the same year
Chas. Rines' store which stood on the
corner where the Evens Hardware
store is now was burned out. There
had been a fire in the spring of the
same year that had destroyed the
store of Aug. Rines and I. C. Patter-
son on the corner where the Pioneer
Drug Co. is at present. These fires
left opportunities for improvement and

provements have made the main street
almost one solid line of bricks.
THE POTATO ERA.
The nest egg of the potato trade at
Princeton was the Princeton Potato
Starch Co., which was incorporated in
1889, the incorporators being T. H.
Galley, N. 3. Jesmer, G. H. Rines, G.
H. Pierce, Robt. G. Dunn and Frank
Hense. The object was to make po-
tato starch and the farmers we're in
duced to raise potatoes to supply the
factory. Before that time very few
potatoes had been raised, but as the
farmers commenced TO supply the
needs of the factory they soon discov-
cred that the land was well adapted to
the cultivation of the potato, and it
was not long before potatoes were be-
ing raised on a very extensive scale,
and there was enough potatoes to sup
ply the starch factory as we'll as to

ton pari- h, came here from St. Cloud
where he was ordained short Time
before, and this is the first mission be
has ever had charge of. Besides the
Princeton church, he has Mora, Forces
ton, Greenbush and Elk River. The
German Lutheran church was erected
a few years ago and Rev. E. Schimpfsky
is its pastor.
The postoffice was established in 1856
and Mr.. Ross took the contract to carry
the mail between Princeton and Anoka
once week. The first postmaster was
0. d. Garrison, and the subsequent
postmasters have been J. L. Carter,
John H. Allen, David E. Goulding, Mrs.
l.. }. Cunning ham, Newell A. Ross,
II. G. Head and VIM. Cordiner.
Mr.. Cordiner took the Office the first
of January, 1895, and in October of the
same year, the Office was made presi.
Dental office. When Mr.. Cordiner
took possession of the Office, there were
not as many money orders issued in a
month as there are in a week at the
present time. The Office is equipped
with $50 lock boxes and 1853 call boxes.
Last year the gross business of the
office amounted to little over $4,000,
and this year the total amount of bust
ness will exceed $4,000.

The Odd Fellows New BUILDING
Inc Handsome ThreeSory Structure by Princeton
Odd FelowsA Fine Business Block and Comfortab,e and
Commodious Home the Odd Fellows

The fine three-story brick building
| which has just been finished and is the
property OF Princeton Lodge No. POS,
l.. 0. 0. F., was the result of some good
hard and energetic work on the part
of the Odd Fellows of Princeton to
build for themselves permanent lodg e
home where they might have in every
sense of the word ''all the comforts of
home.' and to say that they have sue
ceeded is simply the mere statement
of the fact. The Odd Fellows have
really builded better than they knew.
for as the handsome block now stands
all finished and an ornament to the
village, as we'll as a most serviceable
business block, it certainly is a great
credit to the enterprise and progress
iveness of the Princeton Odd Fellows.
1t was in the fall of 1900 that the
lodge first began to discuss the propo-
sition of building a block wherein they
might make for themselves a comfort
able home and contribute to Princeton
a very substantial business block, and
the matter soon took on tangible shape.
The lodge decided on the character of
the building and duly empowered a
building committee of seven members
of the lodge to take the matter in hand
and erect the building. This building
committee is composed of the follow
ing members of the lodge: Judge Van
Alstein, Geo. A. Eaton, J. W. Could
ing, j. G. Herdliska, Jos. Craig, NJ. c..
Sausser and n. E. Jesmer. The COM
mittee was given full power and au-
thority by the lodge erect the build
ing and act as trustees for the lodge in
looking after it, and this committee
will not be discharged until it formally
turns over the building to the lodge.
The committee bought lot four, block
three in Damon's addition to Prince
ton, which lot is situated in the middle
of the block just north of the CONNER
cial hotel and the site is a very COM
manding one. The lot is 66xl4S4 feet.
Plans and specifications for a three
story brick were drawn and work was
commenced on the building last May.
The contract for the stone and brick
work was let to Jaenicke & Co., the
plastering to Bert Nokes, while Con-
tractor Will Hatch had the contract as
supervising carpenter, and looked after

all the wood work and inside finish.
Underneath the whole building is a
hne basement and on the ground floor
are two stores 27txSO feet, and leading
up 10 the second floor is wide stair
way finished in oak.
Occupying the store on the north
side of the building is B. D. Grant. the
hardware merchant, and in the store
on the south side is the retail store OF
the Princeton Roller Mill Co.
On the second floor there are offices
and halls. On the north side Dr.. G. r.
Walker has fine suite of rooms. while
occupying front offices on the south
side will be located Nj. S. Rutherford's
land offices. In the rear of these
County Attorney Ross and G. A. Dickey
will have law Offices, and back of their
office is a room 14x27 which r. M.
Farnham has rented for a reading
room for the young people. In the
rear OF the north side of the second
floor is a hall 27x4O which is designed
for public gatherings of any nature.
Occupying the north side of the third
floor will be the hall for the Odd Eel
lows. The hall proper is 274x564 in
the clear, and there are parlors and
ante rooms adjoining. The hall has a
IA foot ceiling and will be fitted up in a

warrant big potato market at Prince
ton, and it was not long before Chas.
Hines, seeing the manifest destiny of
Princeton as potato market, en-
bdrked in the business of buying and
shipping potatoes, and foreseeing the
profit there would be in the crop for
the farmer, as we'll as the opportuni-
ties for dealers in business way, he
began to encourage the cultivation of
the crop throughout the territory trib-
utary to Princeton, and the result has
been that to day Princeton is the big
gest potato market in the whole potato
belt. AS reference has been made to
Princeton as potato market it is not
necessary to further mention the in
dustry here.
BRICK MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY,
Princeton is not only famous as a big
potato market, but in the manufacture
Of fine cream brick it has become noted
throughout the country. and Princeton
brick are rated Al by all builders and
contractors. For many years prior to
the esta blishing of the brick making
plant at Brick,on, a short distance
north of Princeton, the old fashioned
red brick were burned at that point.
and it was not until ten or twelve wears
ago when A. W. Woodcock and F. NJ.
Campbell took hold of Natures store
house of fine clay with improved ma
chinery, that the brick industry of
Princeton became an assured thing.
They might be said to be the fathers
of the brick industry of this place.
The first yard established was that of

ing their land, but which now brings a
good price at the brick yards About
lou men are given employment during
the brick making season, at good
wages, and about 10, 600 cords of wood
are consumed.
SOCIAL AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
The business interests of Princeton
are varied and cover most every bust
ness calling and profession. No town
OF It's size in the country has better
representation of business interests,
and every firm in Princeton is in a
prosperous condition. The banking
records show that the deposits of the
business men are twenty-five per cent
larger this year than the year previ-
Gus, and it is a noteworthy feature
also that there are not the calls for
loans that there were last year and in
the past. Princeton enjoys trade in
section of country within radius of
twenty miles around and the farming
mmunity is composed in the most
part of well-to-do farmers who are
thrifty and intelligent.
Princeton is made up of good class
OF people, and according to the State
census of 1895 the village had 800 ma
tive born and 1872 foreign born. In the
way Of civic societies the town is we'll
represented by the Masons, Odd Eel
lows, Knights of Pythias, Maccabees,
Modern Woodmen, United Workmen,
Catholic Order of Foresters, G.. A. r.,
O. E. S., and other societies that con-
tribute in many ways to the social life
of the place. Of churches the village
has good representation, there being
the Congregational, Methodist, Cath
Ollie and German Lutheran. The Con-
gregational church was organized by
Rev. Royal Twitchell in August, 1856,
with thirteen members. The church
was erected and dedicated on the 10Th
of March, 1878. the Methodist church
was organized in 1857 with seven men,
bers, by Rev. Mr.. Hooper, and the
cb:n ). was built the same year. The
Catholic church which was erected
in the white: and spring of '98 and
SO, was dedicated July 9, 1899. Father

and exciting times in the days of the

often took possession of the town and

was one of the moving spirits of the
time and in his passing he has
left some thrilling "reminiscences.

Echoes of the Past.

In 1856 William F. Durham and 9th.
ers built the first saw MILL The mill
burned four years later. The next mill
was built by Samuel Ross in 1858 and
the third by Benjamin Soule in 1867.
The first flour mill was built in 1870
by Benjamin Soule. It was a water
mill with a capacity of twenty barrels
day. In 1868 J. II. Allen built a
twenty-barrel mill up the river where
he had homestead at that time. To-day
both mills are owned byJ.T. D. Sadley.
In 1855 the first school house in
Princeton was built by popular sub
scrlption. Jas. M. Dayton taught the
first term.

after the fire with brick buildings, and

been cleared away when the fire of
