o o o WITH FARMERS

Fred T. Guderian of Greenbush, was
in town last Saturday. The UNION
man met him just as he was finishing
up his day s business and getting ready
to start home, but the Greenbush
farmer was not too busy to stop a few
minutes and tell the UNION a little
news. Farmers in my section did
very we'll the past year." said Mr..
Guderian, land we are all now getting
ready for the present years. opera
tions. expect to make few changes
in my crops for the coming season, and
will raise much more small grain than
I did last year. shall raise more
wheat, oats and corn, and not plant as
many potatoes as I did last year. My
grain that shall raise will be mostly
for home consumption. I intend to
break from six to ten acres of new land
and plant the same to corn this year.
Last year I built new house as did
also my neighbor, Hiram Whittier,
and we expect to brick veneer our
houses this year, Mr.. Guderian
came from Minneapolis about five
years ago and located on his present
farm, and with the improvements he
has placed on the same he says he
would not take three times the price
he originally paid for the farm.

Geo. w. Babb and his brother came
up from Bradford Saturday to attend
the Mark sale and do little trading
with Princeton merchants. Mr.. Babb
says farmers down in his section have
been getting along very nicely the
present winter. He thinks that about
two-thirds of the potato crop has
passed out of the farmers hands.
t'Present prices are not what farmers
expected to get, but so cents bushel
is not a bad price for potatoes after

The Board of Trade Protests.

Vno Board OF Trade Protests.
The board of trade of Princeton met
Wednesday night in the office of Chas.
Keith to discuss the new tax bill that
is now before the special session of the
legislature. There were about dozen
members present and there was a brief
discussion of the bill by T. H. Galley,
J. J. Skahen, G. A. Jack, and others,
who spoke in opposition to the bill,
aud who were of the opinion that the
drastic provisions of the bill would be
inimical to the welfare of the entire
State. There was nothing good in the
bill and the power and authority that
would be vested in the assessor BIZ the
new law was enough to make the aver
age business man stand with fear and
trembling. The bill was deemed an
unwise and vicious measure and the
following resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That the proposed tax
law now pending before the Minnesota
legislature is unjust and unwise in that
1t will have tendency to deprive Wild
ows and orphans and all those who are
dependent on fixed income, of their
means OF support; that it discriminates
against the small jobber, retail mer-
chant and all 9th rs* whose business
will not admit of warehousing stocks
OF goods outside the State; that it will
compel business men to keep their bank
accounts outside the State or precipi-
tate an annual financial panic; that the
enactment of the law will impose an
increased tax upon the farmer who is
already paying more than his propor->
tionate share of the taxes under the
present law; that it places a premium
on universal dishonesty and Wholesale
perjury, and its result will be if enact
ed an increased real estate tax as shown
by the results in other States.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED. That the
members of the legislature from the
Forty-fifth district be requested to op-
pose by all honorable means the pas
sage of this or any tax law at the pres
ent session of the legislature.
The words land until the constitu-
tion of the State be amended" appear
ed at the close of the resolution, but
those present with the exception of Mr..
Skahen voted to expunge them.
Copies of the resolution were order
ed sent to the members of the legisla-
ture from this district

Government Will Be Asked to
Build One From Clinton to
Rock Island.
Boats Could Thus Avoid the
Twenty Miles OF Treach.
erous Rapids.
Could Reach Peoria With Grain
From the North and Return
With Coal.
Special to Times Republican.

Clinton, June pa number of the
prominent citizens of Whiteside coun-
ty. Illinois. which county is directly
across the river from here, are the
projectors of a canal down the eas'
side of the Mississippi river, from
Fulton to Rock Island, ILL.,, the object
of which is to avoid the rapids be-
tween LeClaire, Iowa, and Davenport
which are extremely dangerous tc
navigation for a distance of twenty
miles The building of the proposed
canal would also shorten the distance
between Clinton and Rock Island b!
about forty miles and would make the
route between ST. Paul and st. Louis
shorter by nearly 100 miles.
The plan is to build canal from
Fulton in a southeasterly direction to
a point near Lyndon, distance OF
seventeen miles from here, thence south
and form a connection with the Hen
nfpin canal, which empties into the
Mississippi river a few miles south
of Milan. This portion of the canal
has been completed.
This would mean change in the
course of the great waterway and in
stead of winding about, the water
would flow almost due SOUTH. The
government spends thousands of dol
lars annually on the improvements of
the rapids and a fleet of boats is
CONSTANTLY on duty dredging and re-
moving distractions. For a consider
able of the distance a channel has been
blasted thru the rock, costing the gov
eminent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
Engineers have gone over and sur
veyed the route and declare the plan
feasible In fact the physical con-
ditions are such the proposed canal
can be constructed at q moderate cost
and it is surprising the plan has not
been figured out heretofore. The gov
eminent has expended enough money
on the rapids to build a number of
canals as proposed.
In addition to the benefit that will
be derived from this canal, thru the
Hennipin canal, boats can proceed di-
rect to Peoria and enter the Illinois
river taking freight and passengers
direct from st. Paul and other north
ern points to Peoria. 1t is figured that
grain from the great northern wheat
fields would be taken to the distiller-
les at Peoria and on the return trip,
barges loaded with coal for the north
would make the traffice exceedingly
