The ReMinqton Drainage Report.

James E. Ingraham, one of the COM
missi0nerS of the Remington Dram
age district. was in the city Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. He
brought the report of the commits
SiOners on benefits and damages and
submitted it to the commissioners
attorneys, Hon. John A. Gaynor and
B. NJ. Vaughn, preliminary to tlling
it. All the necessary surveys have
been made and levels taken and the
routes of the main and lateral drains
located and staked out. The COM
mission estimate that the benefits
TO the district by this drainage will
be at least twice the costs of the
drainage. Lands in that district.
which have heretofore been drag on
the market at $3.50 to $500 per acre,
are now selling readily at $500 to $3.50
per acre. The holders Of the land in
the district confidently expect that,
when the drainage is completed, they
will be able to sell their lands at much
higher prices than now. In fact it
begins to look as if the town of Rem
ington, which heretofore has been
considered the poorest town in the
county, will within few years be
among the richest.

DEBATE

Observation-Disclosures that the government
should own and operate the railroads.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1902-01-23

The triangular debate by Messrs.
Bede, Cation and Stewart is an inter-
esting one, judging from the press &C.
counts. Stewart says the government
is in league with the liquor power and
says that the Prohibition party would
stop the manufacture of all liquor and
make people drink water, milk. and
cold tea. The renowned Cation, says
that if the Republican party remains
in power much longer that we will be
governed by q king. Perhaps we. will
if there is any man by that name who
can get next to the people. He said
the Prohibition party embodied both
politics and religion, and this was
what was killing the party. Bede
says i there is more drunkenness. in
Maine in proportion to its population
than in Minnesota. He would rather
have 200 saloons than 1900 blind pigs.
A good mother was worth more than
the whole Prohibition party put to-
gether. He says it is the home in
fuence that counts. The Pine philoso-
pher is hard to Bede.

Minnesota,

The bill passed by the legislature to
prohibit the practice of blacklisting
has been declared by the supreme court
OF the State to be constitutional. A
st. Paul business man was fined $50 for
having violated the law, and some very
wise lawyer at once declared that the
law violated both the State and federal
constitution in certain respects. The
law may be lacking in technical phrase.

are one or two small errors, but the law
seems to accomplish just what it was

ONE of the delegates to the good
roads meeting at St. Paul last week
said that poor roods cost the farmers
of Minnesota Sl5,S40,00O annually.
We do not know how he arrived at the
exact figures, but nevertheless he is
not far from the truth. If the railroads
OF the country were as negligent of the
construction and the repair of their
highways as the farmers and the bust
ness men are of the country roads,
there would not be paying road in
the country, and furthermore, people
would be afraid to ride on them. We
admit, these are not quite parallel
cases, but it is just as essential to have
good country roads as it is to have good
railroads.

DR.. BRACKEN, secretary of the State

then given ninety days Imprisonment.
With such law as this in force we
are OF the opinion that local quarantine
rules and regulations would be some

many cases, for the people would see
to it that they were enforced. Then
on the other hand, the courts, the law

JUDGE G. b. FLANDREAU, the vener-
able jurist of Minnesota, and one who
has been intimately associated with
the growth and development of the
State, while before the State supreme
court last week, took occasion to ad-
dress the court and state that owing to
his age and failing health that would
be his last appearance before that
body. The scene was a touching one,
and the members of the bench and
those present in court were visiblv af-
fected. Such incidents remind US that
the strong and mighty men of the
early days are passing away. The
present generation and those of future
generations may we'll emulate their
examples.

IN the selection of representatives of
this government at the coronation of
King Edward VII President Roosevelt
has shown good judgment. He selected
as special ambassador Whitelaw Reid
OF New York, who stands very high at
the Court of St. James and among the
English people. The president would
have rendered the position to express
ident Cleveland, but it is said that Mr..
Cleveland did not desire to 60. AS the
only living ex-president Mr.. Cleveland
would have made an excellent repre-
sentative. Gen. James H. Wilson of
Delaware, who will represent the
army, is the only living major general
OF the Union army in the Civil war.
In appointing Gen. Wilson the presi-
dent certainly madea wise selection
and avoided the warning factions in
the sampson-Schley fight. Captain
Chas. Clark, who will represent the
American navy, is the man who
brought the Oregon around the Horn
from San Francisco during the Span
ish-American war, and he acquitted
himself with honor at the battle of
Santiago. j. He is now governor of the
naval home at Philadelphia. The
United States may we'll be proud of
their representatives at the coronation.

the steamers to land from Washington
have been making three regular trips

He was the oldest of the five living

Longstreet is 81. Gen. A. Z. Stewart il
81. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner is 70
Gen. stephen Dill Lee is 90 and Gen.
Joseph Wheeler is GO years of age.
Hampton, Lee and Longstreet were
born in South Carolina. Lee now lives
in Mississippi, and Loagstreet in Georgia
Buckner was born and lives in Kentucky.
Wheeler was born in Georgia and lives
IN Alabama, and Stewart was born in
Rogersville, East Tennessee, and lives
near Chattanooga. Two of these living
veterans have passed the four-score mark.
one has nearly reached it, one is close 10
