CHATS ! !
o o WITH FARMERS-<

L. W. Hall, one of the rock-ribbed
pioneers of this section, dropped into
the UNION office Saturday for chat.
he was wondering who the Princeton
farmer was who was said by the Min
neapolis Times to have been offered
$4,000 for his crop of 80 acres of pota-
toes. Mr.. Hall thinks the rumor a
pipe dream. Speaking of crops he
says the yield of grain inhis section
was light this season, wheat yielding
10 and II bushels, oats IS to 40, and
barley rs to 80 bushels. Potatoes he
thinks will go close around 100 bushels
per acre. Mr.. Hall enjoyed pleasant
trip fair week to Minneapolis and
attended a reunion of his old regiment,
the Ninth Minnesota, having been a
member of Co. A, which was with the
first division, second brigade, of the
10th army corps. He met many old
war and pioneer-day chums, among
them Mayor Ames, O. T. SWEET, Jonas
Brown and others, whom he had a
pleasant visit with.
Horace Prescott, of Spencer Brook,
was in Princeton Saturday. He says
everything is promising in his section.
Potatoes will yield 100 to $50 bushels to
the acre; in his vicinity. Mr.. Prescott
is loyal Princeton man, and has wit
messed it's growth to the popular mar
ket and trading point it now is. Anent
the matter of good roads, he is enthu-
siastic, and believes This great work
should be kept up. 1t is something
that alike interests the farmer and the
business man, and good honest road
work is something every citizen
should encourage.
Carl Kenitz, who farms in Princeton
township, says wheat averaged "a BUSH
els, and oats so bushels. Potatoes he
thinks will run about the same as last
year.
Ole Olson was in from Spring Vale
with grain the other day. He says the
grain did not come up to expectations,
though the quality was good. The
potato crop will go about IS bushels
per acre in his section.
x*
Fred T. Guderian and Emil Zimpel,
OF Greenbush, were on the market
Tuesday, and called on the UNION
while in town. Mr.. Guderian says he
will have about two-thirds the yield Of
potatoes for the same acreage he had
last year. He says potatoes will go
100 to l25 bushels. Mr.. Zimpel raised
quite little grain this year. Wheat
went in his section IS to 26 bushels per
acre, and oats so to TO-

TELEPHONE HAPPENINGS.

What the Rural Telephone Crew is Doing
While Elongating the Human Tongue.
Poles are being set between Prince
ton and Karmel this week.
The new line will be credit to that
part of the country through which it
passes. 1t is being built in substan-
tial manner, poles nicely peeled, set in
line, with six pin cross-arms and when
wires are strung will have quite
metropolitan appearance.
The boys all say that the ''push'' is
capital driver. He is the only man in
the crew who can hang up his rig on a
stump in the middle OF big mud pud-
die and request all hands to step out
and place outfit on going basis and
never say "boys take something on
me-"
Capt. Charlie is quite ladies' man,
but he gets his nose pulled OCCASION
ally by some of the most venturesome
of the flair ones" Traces of tears
may still be seen on his face, due to
the twitching that appendage received
a few days ago. But we are mum,
Charlie, and won't give it away.
The crew at present consists of Com
mander Johnson, Capt. Chas. Sleeves
sweet voiced Del. Slayback, Hazen
Cravens and Sam Hulet. Capt. Charlie
is great on Timing up" Slayback is a
sweet singer and wouldn't miss NEAL
Hazen's strong point is his good nature
and hard work, Sam has not much to
say but can find the bottom of pole
hole as quick as the next one. The
BOSWELL. he thinks he's the whole
thing.
Hazen Cravens came near being the
innocent cause of a stampede Monday.
On account of cool weather he donned
a shirt of brilliant hue which caused
several citizens to take the crew for a.
group of anarchists, and they investi-
gated in crowd with weapons galore
It was only after Delbert with his per-
suasive ways had explained that it was
a "freman's'' shirt and covered a loyal
heart were the citizens willing to allow
the boys to depart in peace.
Del. Slayback can sing like night
ingale, MARBLE like canary, charm
the ladies, use toothpicks, and sweeten
coffee with pickles. One evening
lately after entertaining the ladies and
having a jolly time, it is supposed he
retired in quite an absent minded man
ner, putting his clothes carefully in
bed, throwing the light out of the win
dow and hanging himself over;the back
of chair, and in the night was found
sitting on his shoes hugging Cravens'
'stussick" muttering, "Oh! dem goo
goo eyes,"
A few of Louis Erickson's neighbors
called on him few evenings since and
made him a present. They gave him.

cause the telephone line happens to
run on their side of the highway. They

A NOBLE CHARITY.
The "Washburn Memorial Orphan Asy.
lumH and Its Grand Work.

The "Washburn Memorial Orphan Asy-
lum' and Its Grand Work.
Many Of our readers are not familiar
with the facts concerning the estab-
lishment of the "Washburn Memorial
Orphan Asylum" located in Mime
apolis, and to such the following brief
recital will be of interest:
On May IL, 1882, General Cadwa}la-
der G. Washburn, Ex-Governor OF
Wisconsin, who had become largely
interested in business enterprises in
Minnesota, died, and in his will made
provision for the establishment of an
asylum for orphans and half orphans,
named in honor of his mother, and to
be open to all deserving applicants in
the State of Minnesota.
The sum of seventy-fve thousand
dollars was given for the purchase of a
site and the erection of buildings, and
the further sum of three hundred thou
sand dollars was given for an endow-
ment fund for the support of the work.
General Washburn had in mind the
gradual development of the power of
the institution to meet the increasing
need of a growing population, and
wisely provided that twenty-five per
cent of the annual income from invest
ments should be added to the principal
of the endowment fund, and only be
used for the additional buildings and
improvements needed for the extern
sion of the work.
Under this wise plan the endowment
fund has now reached the magnificent
total of half million dollars, while
the total outlay for buildings, fur
nishings and general improvements
amounts to the further sum of one
hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
Over two hundred thousand dollars
have been expended for the current
expenses of management and ordinary
Improvements and repairs.
These figures convey fair consep-
ton of the possibilities of the generous
provision made by General Washburp
for the dependent children of Mime
sofa. The magnificent site occupied
by the buildings at 50th street and
Nicollet avenue, comprising twenty
acres, was donated by Senator w. D
Washburn, President of the Managing
Board Of Trustees, and this has been
added to by purchase, so that ample
conveniences for gardening have been
provided. The work accomplished by
the Washburn Memorial Orphan Asy.
lum admirably supplements that which
is carried on under the auspices of the
State at the State Public School al
Owatonna, and seeks the rehabilita
ton of the natural home life when
such a result is possible and desirable

DIFFERENT KINDS OF
MUNICIPAL FINANCIERING

| Marshfield Coast Mail
Subscriptions TO the popular loan o
Independence, Polk County, hav
already more than exceeded the amour
of the loan, 5000. 1t is interesting h
compare the old and new styles o
municipal finance as illustrated by tn,
results attained by independence ant
Oregon City.
Oregon City has just negotiated loar
of $300,OOO in the old way. Bids were
invited for thirty $1,000 bonds bearing
5 per cent interest and running 20 years.
The denomination OF the bonds and
the fact they must be taken in lump
precluded any one but the professional
bond sharks from touching them. The
bonds were awarded TO Portland parties
on bid of $1,000 premium. The city
gets $32 ,9C0, ON which it pays $500 a
year interest for 20 years, or $4,000 in
terest altogether. Deducting the $500,
leaves $27, 100 net interest paid during
the life of the bond. II is equivalent to
little over AZ per cent interest.
Now, by the popular loan plan, origin
mated by the" "Hayseed" city council of
Salem since adopted by other towns,
and now useed by Independence, bonds
are issued in denominations from
$50 up, bearing per cent interest
payable in 10 years, or sooner at the
option OF the borrower. These are sold
at par by popular subscriptions, the
smallest subscription being filed first.
The experience, so far has been that
these bonds were eagerly snapped up by
local small capitalists in amounts Of
$500 and less.
Now, had Oregon City borrowed its
$50, 900 on this plan, it would have paid
per cent interest instead Of per cent.
1t would have paid $4,000 interest in
stead of $1,000 secured under the old plan
sill leaves $500 which Oregon City will
pay extra for the privilege OF dealing
with the fnanciers instead OF with its
own people.
Further $500 interest money will now

5000 being distributed at home.
