She received compound fracture OF

internal injuries and numerous cuts and
bruises.
The ascension was made about 6 o'clock
under the direction or Professor Andrew
Charles Hillman, and in the presence of
fully 6O00 people. The balloon. new one
used for the first time, was filled shortly
before 6. and Miss Ward took her seat in
the basket of the parachute, which was
simply a network OF ropes on an iron
hoop. When all was ready the guys were
cut, and the balloon ascended rapidly.

800 feet I'm the air she released the para
chute by bulling the cord and started
on her course downward. The para
chute dropped fully 200 feet before open

slowly. The girl had by this time slipped
from the front OF the seat and was hoId

AS the umbrella opened and the para
chute filled with air IL gave a sort OF
jerk and an upward start, which shook
off the girls hold from the wrist straps

In 1885 the county only had three or
gained towns, Princeton, Greenbush
and Milo, while at the present time
there are twelve organized townships.
Milaca was the fourth township to be
organized. The towns Of Bogus
Brook, Borgholm, Isle Harbor, Robins
and South Harbor were organized be-
tween 1890 and 1895, while Page, Ona-
mia and East Side were organized in
the spring of 1901. AS the northern
part of the county becomes settled up
the unorganized territory is fast being
converted into civil divisions, and as
soon as the railroad is built north into
the lake country there will be a rapid
development in that section.
The population by civil divisions for
1900 with comparisons with 18o5 is as

$4,000 STATION -.
1he handsome New Brick Station that Is Now Nearly Com
pIefedOne of the Best Depofs Outside the Twin Cities

On the first page of this issue is
shown picture of the new $4,000 sta
ton which the Great Northern Ry. has
erected at Princeton this year. The
depot is nearly completed and will be
thrown open to the public in another
week or SO. 1t is one of the finest in the
state outside the Twin Cities and Du-
luth, and is something that Princeton
may well be proud Of, as few places the
size OF Princeton, and many cities
much larger, can boast Of as large and
handsome a depot
The depot is an index of the volume
of business in freight and passenger
traffic that the Great Northern railroad
does here. The plans show very
pretty and attractive style of architec-
turc, which is a combination of Queen
Ann and Dutch. The depot is built of
Princeton cream brick with artistic
trimmings Of sandstone. The cut stone
in the building cost 5000. The roof
is finished with red cedar shingles
dipped in creosote, which preserves
them and makes them freproof.
The depot proper, including the two
waiting rooms, ticket office and toilet
rooms, is IS feet long. The ladies'
waiting room is 25x3o feet, while the
mems waiting room is 3ox3o feet. Con-
Meeting the two waiting rooms there
is passage 12x26 feet. On the east of
the passage way and opening into the
waiting rooms are two fine toilet rooms
IL feet inches by 10 feet Connected
with the toilet rooms is small cup
board. Located between the waiting
rooms is the ticket office, 17x24 feet.
with large bay window fronting the
track
The ticket office is fitted up with all
conveniences for the agent and operat-
or. From the office a stairway leads
up to the second floor, on which is To-

Gated store room. The ticket window
faces the passage way
Adjoining the mems waiting room is
the baggage room, 18x3o feet, and next
to this is the express room the same
size. Beyond the express room is the
freight house, 3oxSo feet. Located in
the northwest corner of the freight
house is a warm room for the storage
OF goods during cold weather.
The interior finish to the depot is in
red oak with floors of hard maple. In
the basement is located the steam heat
ing plant, and wash room, etc., for the
use of the employees. The station will
be lighted with electric lights from the
village plant.
The total length of the depot from
gable to gable is o15 feet From the
platform to the peak of the gable over
the bay window the distance is 80 feet.
The platform running along the west
side OF the depot will be 20 feet wide
dnaconstructed of cement or brick,
while the platforms at the ends and
along the east side of the depot will be
of timber. The east side platform is
II feet wide. From the depot to First
or Depot street there will be platform
forty feet in length. Next year the
water tank will be moved south be-
yond the switch to make additional
room for platforms.
The station will make a fine holiday
present. Princeton has always stood
loyalty by the Great Northern road and
Mr.. Hill. The Great Northern has al
ways treated its patrons in Princeton
and vicinity in friendly manner, and
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1902-12-18

Princeton has certainly appreciated the
kind treatment.
The firm of Libby & Nelson of Min
neapolis had the contract for erecting
the new depot, and they have pushed
the work vigorously since commencing
work on the depot three months ago.
They built the depot at Litchfeld a
year or SO ago, which was built after
the same plans of the Princeton depot.

OF the busiest logging streams in the

when the last log will have come down

The county is rapidly setting up in
the middle and northern portion. In
1860 the county had a population of 70
souls, 331 in 1865, HOO in 1870, 1900 in

Northern road and is located in the
heart of well-settled farming coun-
try. While not large place, it is a
busy little market point. It has cream
cry that is operated by Bridgeman &
Russell, of Duluth, and several thou
sand dollars are paid out to the farm
ers each year for cream.
Foreston has three general stores,
conducted by Norgren & Lindman, F.
L. P. Neumann, and w. F. Waldhoff
The merchants transact considerable
business with the farmers who live
tributary to the place. Foreston is in
corporated and County Commissioner
Deane is president of the council.
There are three churches located there
the Catholic, Methodist and the Swed-
lsh Lutheran. The Maccabees repre-
sent the civic orders in the place.
There is some probability of syrup
and oil factory being located at Fores-
ton to manufacture syrup and oil from
vegetables, principally the pumpkin.
Harry P. Stanchfeld, of Foreston, has
been making experiments for some
time and the claims are made that his
experiments have been very satisfac-
tory, and that from the pumpkin can
be made fine quality of syrup, while
from the seeds an oil can be extracted.
and it is also claimed that the residue
of the seed or the seed pulp can be
utilized as a product of manufacture.
Mr.. Stanchfeld has organized the Ma
tlonal Syrup and Oil Co., with CAPT.
tai stock of 100000, and a debt limit of
$4,000. The officers Of the company
are: Harry P. Stanchfeld, of Fores-
ton, president and treasurer; Harold
A. Stanchfeld, of Foreston, secretary;
Edgar A. Heath, of Minneapolis, vice.
