The Knights of Labor have con
cluded that instead of being antagon-
istic the president is organized
labor's best friend, and that the pro
posed warfare upon him is an unwise,
unjust and short-sighted policy.
The president is OF course, bound
by duty any by oath to sustain the
supremacy of the United States and
its various governmental branches
and the Knights of Labor have been
wise in recognizing this fact. II
would have been a disastrous move
for the labor organizations to the
country generally to have condemned
and attacked the president and his
administration on account of his just
reasonable stand taken in the govern
ment printing Office case.

OH Stove Explodes.

Last Saturday an oil stove used for
heating exploded at the home of Frank
Peterson and came nearly resulting
very seriously. The stove had been
placed in room upstairs to take the
chill off the room. Mrs. Peterson and
daughter were down stairs. Before
leaving the room the wick had been
turned dSHn quite low. Some time af-
forwards there was. a smell of smoke
and Mrs. Peterson rushed upstairs and
opened the doorof the room which she
discovered full of smoke, As the door
was opened the flames about the lamp
startedup and with great presence of
mind Mrs. Peterson grabbed the stove
and threw it down the stairway. The
stove blocked the stairway and was
still burning. Mrs. Peterson made a
second attempt to put the FIRE out by
getting feather bed which She threw
onto the stove which smothered the
flames. Mrs. Peterson was severely
burned about the hands and arms and
suffered much from inhaling the smoke
from the closed room. She has been
confined to her bed for the past few
days, but is recovering all right from
her injuries. The house was also badly
burned in several places and it was a
narrow escape, both for Mrs. Peterson
and the house.

Big "spec." in Mile Laos Land.


: Who says that Mile Laos land, and
wild at that, is not good paying prop
erty. Last summer Joseph Underleak
OF Chatfeld, Mimi, bought 6,262 acres
OF land in township 4l-27. For this
land he paid the sum of Sl5,655.2O, or
close around $3.50 per acre. Last
week Mr.. Underleak sold 1902 acres of
this Us same land for 1926, 1856, making a
Clean profit on the transaction of nearly
10000, and still having over /, 300.
acres left to dispose of. OF course Mr..
.Underleak did not buy such large
tract OF land to keep. He secured it.
for an investment, and he found in less
time than a year that it proved a good
one. He sold the land to Geo. w. Pat
terson of Worthingto Mimi, who all
ready owns a lot of land in the vicinity
OF the lake and is improving much Of
this land, placing settlers on the same
and giving them a portion of the land
for clearing 1t up. Mr. Patterson is
placing lot Of sheep and cattle on his
land inthat section which he finds well
adapted for stock.

village laying out money in surfacing
the n main streets until sewers are built.
Better, by far, to make temporary i'm
,proyements for the present, until
Princeton can get such acharter as the
needs of the village require.
1t would seem that the proper pro-
cedure to secure a new charter, would
besunder what is termed the .sshome
rule'' charter provision. On petition
OF ten per cent of the qualified voters
OF any village the judges Of the district
court may select a charter commission
OF fifteen freeholders Of said village
who would draft a charter and would
have six months to submit the same to
the chief magistrate of the village.
The council would then submit the
charter to a vote of the people and if
four-sevenths of all those voting for the
charter voted in the affirmative the
charter becomes adopted. With a
charter commission made up "a body
OF business men who realize the needs
OF Princeton, it would seem that "a
model business charter could be Sc
cured. The charter commission draws
no pay and becomes permanent body,
the term of Office being four years.
The matter is taken out of politics by
leaving the selection of the charter
commission with the Judiciary In
case of vacancies the judges appoint
new members. The city of Fergus
Falls has ajust had a new charter
drafted by sshome rule'' commission
named by Judge Baxter. Fergus Falls
extended it's city limits under it's new
charter in order to control certain nui-
sances, and to acquire control over GER
tain public utilities. 49, 81. -. r..
This matter of a new charter for
Princeton should be agitated. It is not
enough to say that the old charter is
enough emo for it certainly is lame il
many respects. 1t viii: .isever do K
turn backward. Princeton IS growing
rapidly, and the only, thing for he1
business men and citizens to do is te
keep the track clear of rubbish so she
will not be impeded in her progress.

The New Years Ball.

The one social event of Princeton
that has come to be looked upon by So.
ciety as the event of the winter season
is the annual New Years ball given by
the Knights of Pythias. The event
coming as it does at the passing of the
old and the dawn of the new year
makes it of more than usual interest
and it is the ne plus ultra of all social
doings for the season. So it was that
the K. P. ball last evening reflected
the holiday spirit. Jesmer's opera
house with it's crowd of gay dancers,
the pretty ball room gowns and the
abundance Of flowers presented very
handsome scene. There was a good
attendance and the floor was crowded
during the entire evening. Galichio's
orchestra was atits best md the holt
day mirth and merriment was in full
blossom. It was early morning when
the merry dancers left the bar room
and the strains Of led IN n
the early hours OF the new year,
Supper was served at Maceabee hall.
There were many from out of town in
attendance, parties from Cambridge,
Elk River, Milaca and other points be-
ing present. The Cambridge party
consisted of Miss Minerva Barker, Miss
Mabel Starkweather, Miss Myers and
DR.. Hixon, AL Dowden, Fred Holm and

COMMENTS ON CUNDY.
His Departure for the West the Topic for
Much Comment.

Much comment has been occasioned
and all sorts of rumors, are in the air
because of the departure two weeks
ago of E. W. Cundy to the Pacific
coast. Mr.. Cundy came down from
Onamia the middle of last month and
transacted some business at the court
house and called on several old friends
in Princeton during the day. He left
the next morning and proceeded west,
stopping at Kalispel and then went on
to Portland, Oregon, where he is at
the present time, and from letters to
friends here he is interesting himself
in some timber claims for some friends.
While in Princeton just before his de-
parture he informed some of his friends
that he intended to leave for the coast
and that he might remain there for
some time. He said that his partner
ship dealings had not been satisfactory
and that he proposed to terminate the
same by taking the course that he did.
Before he left Onamia he sent in his
resignation as postmaster at Onamia to
Washington and recommended the ap-
pointment of his partner, John w. Nc

: It is not known what condition. the
affairs of the firm are in but Mr.. Cundy

and his friends insist that if he has
gone west to locate that he has left
nothing behind him in any way reflect
ing upon his business integrity. It is
understood that he wrote back to his
partner and told him to wind up the
business of the firm. This is only here
say. His partner probably knows much
more about the matter than the gossip
ing public. He did not take his family
with him and the UNION knows moth
ing OF his domestic affairs, only what is
heresay, and a very poor article at that.
That is a matter between Mr.. Cundy.
and his family. At the time he left
Mr.. Cundy was in the full possession of
his faculties and since he went west he
has not been reported as having been
committed to any institution for the
feeble minded.

departure was surprise to his friends

his assets sos. of which S55 are
claimed exempt.
A petition in bankruptcy has been
filed by c. C. Farnsworth, a quarry
foreman of Williamstown. He has Ii
abilities of 1925 and assets of $50, all
OF which are claimed Exempt.
Judge II. III. Wheeler of the United
States district court has just rendered
a decision in the bankruptcy case of
Parker p. Hall of Lyndonville which
is of considerable Importance. The
decision is, in effect, that a chattel
mortgage given upon goods then on
hand and upon goods afterwards
ACQUIRED is valid against bankruptcy
proceedings upon the goods on hand
at the time OF the giving of the mort
gage. and not valid on goods after
wards acquired, unless the mortgage
gets possession of the same more
than four months before bankruptcy.
In the case in question this makes
the mortgage of Mrs. Josephine Lee
valid 10 the amount of 1925.

Bio Fire at Jacksonville.

The village of Jacksonville. in the
town of Nottingham, was visited June
2 by the worst fire II has had for many
years, property valued at over $4,000
being destroyed. The property burn
ed included the main mill of the North
River Manufacturing Co. and small
buildings owned by the company. val
ued at $4,000; house and barn owned
by A. c. Stetson, valued at 81. 600; a
house and barn owned by ID. b. Col
Inns, valued at $4,000; the Knights OF
Honor hall, valued at $1,000; a barn
owned by +. p. Reed. valsed at $500,
besides a quantity of lumber worth
81, 900.
The fire started in the mill, and it is
supposed TO have caught around the
boiler. The mill is used for the man
ufacture of doors, sash. boxes, etc,
and contained a large quantity Of dry
material. II spread rapidly to build
ings on both sides, in spite of efforts to
check il. As the village had no fire
department the Wilmington depart
ment was called and finally got the
flames under control. Fierce fighting
alone saved a grist mill and other
buildings. All the buildings burned
were on one side of the road. Burn
ing cinders fell on buildings across the
road, many of which took fire, but
they were closely watched.
The sash and door factory was
owned by the late John Newton's
daughters. who are out OF the state. 1t
was occupied by Freeman Hager, who
had leased it for year. The lumber
burned was owned by him and was
not insured. The Knights Of Honor
hall was insured for $500. Mr.. Stet-
sons buildings for $1,000 and MIR.
Reeds barn for S240.
