was not until within the last three
years that any of these animals ever
saw white man.
Far up in the northwest, in the great
stretch of country lying just to the
southeast of Lake Atha basca, coun-
try that is practically unpeopled, even
the Indians finding the bleak hills and
lakes uninviting as a place of resi-
dence, lives this herd of wild buffaloes.
There they wander over hundreds of
miles of territory. They have, within
the past three years, during which time
account has been taken of their wan
behring's, Travelled so far east as to
reach the eastern point of Black lake
and, crossing the Black river between
that lake and Hatchet lake, Travelled
off to the northwest again towards
Great Slave lake.
They are practically all that re-
mains of the great droves of these ami
mails that at one time roamed the
western plains from the gulf to far
beyond the Canadian line. Advancing
civilization has driven them from our
true of the Canadian plains. Valuable
as they were to the Indians they have
seemed to find no place in the economy
of Anglo-Saxon civilization. A few
years ago the bones of thousands of
them were bleaching on the broad
prairies. To-day numbers of the whit
ened skulls may be seen from the car
windows as one travels through Can
ada, and the traveller would say that
these skulls mark the last vestige of
a departing animal species. But the
species, has not entirely departed, nor
| does it seem likely to in the near fu-
ture. Instead it is returning, and in
time thousands of them may again in
habit the northern country that is as
yet unsettled.
1t was three years ago last spring
that this herd in Canada was discov-
cred. Its existence was probably
known before that to the few Indians
who inhabit the bad lands of the
| north, but officials of the government
| were not aware until then that any of
the buffaloes in an entirely wild state
remained within the boundaries of
their country. 1t was a government
surveying party who discovered them.
AS soon as possible the fact of their
existence was reported to the Ottawa
| government, and the commanding Of
| ficer of the northwest mounted police
was ordered to send detail in the
northwest to locate and protect them.
| The detail has followed them in all
their wanderings since then. There
has been absolutely no effort made to
| interfere with them in any way; the
| detail is not there for that purpose,
but only to protect them from the
Indians and trappers who visit the ter
ritory in which they are living. There
is heavy fine for killing any of them,
and the police are there to enforce
the law. During the three years since
the detail located them they have in
creased from the IS that were found
at that time to more than 100 at the
present time, or rather at the begin
ming of this last spring when the last

ONE OF the features of commence
ment week at the State university was
the memorial service last Thursday
forenoon at the armory in honor of the
late John S. Pillsbury, the father of
the university and it's great and valued
friend through his long life Of useful
ness. It was most fit and proper that
the memorial services should be held
at such time, for John S. Pillsbury
during his life had been present at
twenty-nine commencement exercises
and found great satisfaction and de-
light in witnessing the steady growth
of the great educational institution.
Addresses were made by John Green
leaf Clark, Judge Stephen Mahoney,
ex-Gov. John Lind and President Cyrus
Northrup. Each address was grand
eulogy to the life and character of
John S. Pillsbury, one of the foremost
citizens of the State, the university of
which will always stand as monu-
ment to his great work for higher edu-
cation. 49, =. -

ACCORDING to the decision of the
United States supreme court the Min.
neseta railway and warehouse commits.
sion has absolute authority over joint
freight rates, even when made under
contract with shippers. The case de-
cided was what was known as the
NEW Ulm coal rate case," which in
volved the right of the railway and
warehouse commission to regulate the
rate on a shipment of hard coal from
the head of the lakes over the st. Paul
& Duluth and the Minneapolis & St.
Louis roads to New Ulm. The dispute
was over division of the through rate
which was made by the commission
and accepted by the first named road,
but the Minneapolis & St. Louis road
refused to accept the decision of the
commission. The case has been car
ried through all the courts and now
that the decision is final one there is
an end to the matter and the Mime
sofa commission is clothed with abso-
lutte power and authority in the matter
of fixing joint rates.

SUPREME COURT ON H4CCIN4T7OX

~
The State supreme court has decided
that boards of health have the author.
lty to enforce vaccination as a oualii-
cation for attendance at public school
in cases Of emergency and where the
interests of the public health are af-
fected by reason of an epidemic or a
threatened epidemic of some contag-
ious disease, especially smallpox. "A
citizen of St. Paul refused to have his
child vaccinated as a condition of at
tending school,, and he insisted on send
ing the child to the public school with
out having it vaccinated. The child
was refused admittance to the school
and he took the matter into court with
the result that the supreme court up
holds the action of the commissioner
OF health of st. Paul, who under the
provisions of the charter has authority
to enforce such rule and regulation
The court says that legislative grants
of power to municipalities, notwith-
standing that the individual liberty of
the citizen is in a measure involved,
are entitled to broad and liberal con-
struction by the courts in aid Of the
beneficial enactment. This will settle

A BILL has passed the national house
of representatives providing for the
government care of the graves of the
Confederate dead in lakewood cemetery
in Chicago where are buried over 1900
Confederate soldiers who died while
prisoners of war in the prison camp
near Chicago. Representative Loud
Of California, union veteran, who
supported the bill, said he hoped that
this would be the first step in the d.
rection of the national care of the
graves of the Confederate dead in every
state in the union. This is ''consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" Let
US have but one Memorial Day and
that a national one, on which day the
entire nation shall pay tribute to all
those who fell in that awful conflict
We know it is asking much, but let US
forgive and forget. We have done it
long since in the great nations heart,
and now let US do it by act and deed.

the question that has been an open
one for some time. But the supreme
court does not say how many times a
health officer or doctor can order a
child vaccinated. There is nothing to
prevent the State board of health or
any health commissioner from order
ing vaccinations ad libitum. The
troubfe with the doctors is that thew
do not know whether one vaccination
or hundred are sufficient. They ar
que that it pays to be on the safe side,
and that the number of times one is
vaccinated cuts no figure. If at first

maiden name was Deborah Crowell.
was born in Novia Scotia, July %,
1873, and was the youngest of eleven
children. Her parents when children
moved with their folks to Novia Scotia
Mrs. Chadbourne's antecedents were
residents Of what was formerly known
as New Amsterdam in colonial times.
Her father was of. English stock, while
her mother belonged to the Earl fam
lly that emigrated to this country in
the early history of the colonies and
settled in New Amsterdam.
Mr.. Chadbourne, who will celebrate
his seventy.irst birthday on the seven
teenth of this month, was born near
the battle ground of revolutionary
fame at Lexington, Mass. Until he
was sixteen he attended school and
worked on his fathers farm. For
several years he followed a sea-faring
life, the last four of which be was mas
ter of coasting vessel. He removed
to Minnesota and settled as has been
said in Princeton where he moved into
an old logging camp near where the
North Star formerly stood. Later he
moved into hotel built of pine logs
and the boards for the floors and par
titions were whipsawed and the shin
giles were made by hand.
The hotel was completed in time to
catch the trade of the river drivers.
A short time after coming here he
took claim down in Baldwin town
ship. On the fourth of July, 1856, as
sisted by S. M. Byers Mr.. Chad bourne
built a claim shanty on the site of
which he afterwards built the first
brick building in this section. His
claim consisted of $40 acres and
through all kinds of hardships and
privations he lived on the land and
made OF it in time fine and produc-
tive farm. When the township of
Baldwin was organized he was chosen
assessor, justice of the peace and COL
lector, and the late Judge Vanderburg
appointed him foreman of the first
grand jury that Sherburne county ever
had. Mr.. Chadbourne has always
been public spirited man and has al
ways served his community in various
civil capacities. In 1874 he repre-
sented his district in the legislature,
was, county commissioner several times
and has held numerous town offices.
During 1899 and 1900 he was one of the
dairy and creamery experts of the
State dairy and food commission. He
started the Princeton creamery which
he ran for some time. At present he
is village justice. Though he has
stepped over the threshold of three
score years and ten Mr.. Chadbourne
gets around and participates in the az
fairs of life with as much ambition as
many men who are much younger than
he is. Mr.. and Mrs. Chadbourne are
members of the Territorial Pioneers,
and Mr.. Chad bourne is member of
the Masonic Veterans association.
He has one brother, who resides at
Elk River. The UNION wishes Mr..
and Mrs. G. H. Chadbourne many
more happy years of married life.

The spectacle of FIVE thousand men
struggling over snow thirty feet deep
in an effort to reach the Thunder
Mountain gold fields where there are
said to be millions in gold stored away
for the prospector and miner is one
that will excite comment, and yet the
thousands of eager and ambitious men
who are risking their lives for gold
are not unlike the average of human
beings. The trip is most perilous
one and it is said that most of the jour-
ney must be made at night time as in
the day time the crust of the snow is
so thin that it will not bear up the
weight of man and his pack, and
many poor fellow has sunk down out
of sight-his life a sacrifice to desire
to find untold wealth. But there are
wonderful stories of fabulous riches
and the gold field embraces an area of
forty square miles. There is a ledge
sixty feet in height said to contain
gold so pure that it will assay as high
as $4,000 to the ton. Of the thous-
ands of men on the trail to the new
Eldorado are two women, one COL
ored washer woman and the other
white woman who is with sick hus-
band. It is said that 25, 900 prospectors
will be in Thunder Mountain field this
summer. OF the great army of men
who will seek their fortunes in this
new district but few will acquire wealth,
but the prize that Nature has hung
up is a rich and tempting one, and man
is just venturesome and ambitious
enough to try for a share of it. ~.

ings that has ever been held in Prince
ton was that of the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. H. Chadbourne on the occasion
of their golden wedding that was held
last Saturday in the presence of four of
their children, ten grand children and
seven great grand children. Few
there are indeed who 60 to the mar
riage altar that can remain at the
Eearthstone and freside through veal
and woe for fifty long years and at the
end of that time can surround them
selves with such a family gathering as
did Mr.. and Mrs. Chadbourne. Such
an event is truly golden sheaf in
life's broad field of battle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chadbourne were mar
ried on June 7th, 1852 at Rockport,
Cape Ann, and three years later they
came west and located in Princeton,
and Mr.. Chad bourne took up a claim
in the town of Baldwin where forty-fve
years they made their home. They
brought with them their oldest child,
Elsie, now Mrs. John Kaliher, who
was an infant at that time. Eight
other children were born to them, five
of whom are now living and are all
married and have families. Twins
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Chadbourne
shortly after coming here but they
both died in early childhood. They
were the first white children born in
Mile Laos county. The children now
living are Mrs. John Kaliher who was
born in Cambridge Mass, and Lowell
j., Willard F., Sarah, (Mrs. E. G. Mills
of Superior,) and Amos. From the
Kaliher branch of the family come
nine grand children and eight great
grand children. Mrs. Kaliher has one
daughter and two sons married. Her
daughter, Mrs. Jos. Cheuck who re-
sides at Duelm, has six children, and
the sons, Edward and Charles are also
married, and each has one child.
Lowell j., who resides in Minneapolis,
has one son. Willard F., who lives in
Seattle, was married, but lost his wife
and child some time ago. Mrs. E. G.
Mills, who is the wife of Senator Mills
OF Superior, Wis, has two children,
and Amos has boy and two girls.
There we're present at the golden
jubilee Mr.. and Mrs. John Kaliher and
five children, Mr.. and Mrs. Cheuck
and six children, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Kaliher and child, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowell J. Chadbourne and child, Mrs.
E. G. Mills and child, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Amos Chadbourne and three
children. The other members of the
family were unable to be present. A
group picture of the thirty members of
the family present was taken and will
prove a precious souvenir of the occas-
ion.
The family reunion was a source of
much pleasure to all and both old and
young enjoyed themselves in a hearty
manner. Late in the afternoon we'd
ding repast was served. Mr.. and Mrs.
Chadboqrne will always remember this
golden event as one of the happiesti in
their long and eventful lives. =. =

stead Entries.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 1l.-Mr
Hitchcock, secretary of the Interior
has addressed a letter to Chairman
Lacey, of the house committee on
public lands, approving the bill offer
ed by Delegate Flynn, OF Oklahoma
relating to committing of homestead
entries In Oklahoma. Mr.. Hitchcock
explains in his letter that the bill Is
desired for the relief of the citizens oil
Lawton, Hobart and Anadarko, the
county seats Of the three counties re-
Gently established by the opening OF
the Kiowa- Comanche country. These
three towns have grown so rapidly
that all of the townsite property mas
been occupied and there Is now
pressing demand for more room. Un'
der tho law the homesteaders who pre-
empted their lands adjoining the town
site cannot get possession of their
property or make transfers of 1t under
fourteen months from the date of en-
try.
The bill provides that homesteaders'
by paying $40 an acre for their prop
erty may get title at once. This Is de-
sired by all the citizens of the three
towns. When the drawing commenced
at Lawton. Mr.. J. II. Wood drew the
first ticket and promptly filed on the
100 acres adjoining the townsite. The
second ticket was drawn by Miss Mat
tie Beals. of wichita. who took the
quarter section adjoining Mr.. Woods
claim. II was estimated at the time
that Mr.. Woods claim was worth s4O,-
900, and that Miss Beals' at least S2O,-
600. Both of these claims are now de-
manded for townsite property and
their value will probably exceed the
original estimates.
