becoming oblivious to things about
him, he seemed to be borne away on
the wings of the giant bottle fy, far,
far, beyond the fleecy clouds that
tloated In the zenith, on and on until
he reaches the gates of white city,
where throngs representing all ma
tlons OF the earth were moving In
the ecstacy of joy. Calmly he ap-
preached the keeper of the gate aud
presented his card, demanding ad-
mitance to the "Fair." Mortal" :"
responded voice sweet a. music,
yet full of power, this is not "A wicked
city of the earth; thou are at the
gates of Heaven" Slightly abashed,
yet chcerily, the editor responded,
''you do not deny the usual courtesy
to the press" st. Peter, for he il
was who guar ded the gate, extended
his hand, and said: "Welcome,
child of the earth, thy trials have
been many. but thy reward is great.
Long hast thou labored for humanity
and many blessings brought them
though they know it not. Enter
thou the joys of Heaven, but, if lack
of occupation make thee lonely, sit
on the right of the portal for time
and take note of the disposition of
those who approach. The editor had
scarcely seated himself within the
walls when one whom he recognized
as having been a subscriber on earth
approached. He had taken the pa
per three years and without paying
what he owed marked it "Refused. >"
lie no sooner saw the editor than
he hung his head tor shame, while
st. Peter who knew him from afar
off, branded him in scarlet upon his
forehead the word "refused," and
sent him to the hottest place known

man who owed for subscription
and changed his address to avoid
payment. He could not look St.
Peter in the face, and when he asked
that he might enter, the gates closed
aud on them was written, "Not
Here" Then came careless de,in-
quent who had taken the paper for
years and kept the editor from his
dues. st. Peter looked him in the
face and passed judgment, "Mortal,
thy SIN is great, yet thine inclination
good. Thou mayst enter within
the walls, but will Tor the first thous-
and years set type in the office of the
Celestial Post, until thou hast
learned that on earth thy paper cost
the editor labor and money, and
thereby thou mayst be brought to
know how grievous was thy SIN"
The great guardian of the gate then
turned to the editor, who sat bewlld-
cred at this display of justice, and
said, "Mortal, thy work is not yet
done. Return to earth and write
what thou hast seen as a warning TO
mankind. He awoke, rubbed bis
eyes, and wrote his dread. "The

Milaca Musician.

John Stromwall is developing quite a
talent as composer of music. He has
composed a two-step and a waltz, both
of which promise to attain considerable
popularity. The music house of Dyer
Bros. in Minneapolis is arranging to
place them before the public The
pieces have been played successfully by
orchestras in the twin cities and the
author is the recipient of many fatter-
ing comments. A year ago Mr.. Strom-
wall knew practically nothing of mu-
sic and became interested therein
through E. E. Price, in whose barber
shop he is employed. Mr.. Price is
quite a musician and his instruction
has aided in developing a talent that

NEW c. N. STATION.
1t Will be Formally Opened To-Mor-
row Night With Public Re-
ception and Ball.
A Large Attendance Expected and the
Event Promises to be Prom
inent One Socially.

Princeton will put on her holiday at
tire tomorrow evening and entertain
her guests at the reception and ball at
the new station, which is now com
pleted, and which will be used for the
first time next Monday.
Station Agent Rice has sent out over
500 invitations for the event, and if the
weather is good there will be a large
crowd present. Many of the invita-
tions have been sent to neighboring
towns, and Mr.. Rice wishes to say that
Princeton parties who have not re-
ceived invitations must not feel
sighted in the least, as all are cordially
invited. All that is necessary is a
ticket for gentleman and lady, the
price of the ticket being S1.00 which,
however, does not include supper. The
supper in connection with the ball will
be served at the Commercial hotel. and
manager Burrell will furnish free con-
veyances to and from the hotel. 1t is
expected that the two large waiting
rooms and the passage way connecting
them will afford ample room for all
guests, but if the attendance should
overtax the capacity of the waiting
rooms, the opera house will be secured
for a part of the merry dancers.
The committees in charge will see
that the event is not married in any re
spect and that all guests will be made
to have good time. Preceding the
ball there will be a short program oi
speeches, after which dancing will be
in order. Galichio's orchestra will fur
nish the music. The speech making
will begin at 500 sharp. "

/. S. MAIL CARRIERS.
Princeton Board of Trade Endorses
Bill Providing for rlail Carriers
in Smaller Cities.
The Bill if it is Made Law by Con.
gress Would Provide Princeton
With Tail Carriers.

There was a special meeting of the
Princeton board of trade Tuesday
night to consider the matter of free de-
livery OF mail in the smaller cities and
villages where the postal receipts
amount to over S., 900 annually. A bill
has passed the United States senate
which provides for mail carriers in GER
tain cities and villages in the country,
and as under the terms of the bill
Princeton would be entitled to have
the mail service, the board of trade
thought it a matter we'll worth con
sidering. The board adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions: ~ -s
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of
this board that senate file 900; now in
the postal committee of the house. be
Withdrawn from the committee and

hearty support of all the members of
the house, as it is right in line with
the Improvement in the government
mail service which is for "we are the
people," It would seem that cities
and villages that net the government a
good profit each year on the postal bust
ness ought to be provided with the best
service possible. If the bill should be
enacted into a law Princeton would
have two or three mail carriers who
would deliver the mail twice day at
the places of business and at the resi-
dences, This would be a great relief
from the present task of having to 90
to the Office and have to stand around
in the jam of humanity and wait for the
mail. The bill is a good thing and
should be pushed along as rapidly as
possible .s

Z zTs
the individual efforts of Mr.. Beardmore
every appeal was finally settled out of
court and bids for the construction of
the ditch will shortly be called for.
That so great an undertaking, for
which over five hundred farmers must
be taxed, and that heavily, should be
settled without a single lawsuit is re-
markable tribute to the work of~Mr.
Beardmore.
''The judicial ditch itself is twelve
and one half miles long. A branch
from the south is ten and a half miles
long. Various bitches already con-
structed and emptying into the judicial
ditch will make a net work of 60 miles
of bitches, while other bitches have
been petitioned for to flow into the ju-
dicial ditch which will make the grand
total of mileage 100 miles,
The ditch will be the largest in the
State OF Minnesota and probably the
largest in the northwest. It is "a feet
wide at the bottom and 60 feet wide at.
the top. It will drain perfectly IL
townships of land and will forever pre-
vent the recurrence of the disastrous
floods which have annually swamped
this section. Such floods as that of one
year ago when water stood two feet
deep in the streets Of the city of War
rem will hereafter be impossible. The
total cost of the ditch will be $4,000. g
THE ditch is largely the personal
work of Mr.. II. J. Beardmore of the
town of Sandsville, Polk county For
years Mr.. Beardmore has been, in sea-
son and out of season, promoting the
ditch and were it not for his efforts the
project would several times have fallen,
through. Its great value to the set
tiers of Polk and Marshall counties is a
monument of which any man might
well feel proud.''

WILL TRY FOR A THIRD JUDGE.

"A Bill Introduced Providing for Three
Judges in the Seventh judicial District.
For some weeks it has been an open
secret in legal circles that scheme
was being developed at Little Falls for
the creation of third judge for the
Seventh judicial district now presided
over by Judges Baxter and Searle of
the district court. ~
The Little Falls Transcript of Monday
gives the first publication of the plan
in quite an exhaustive article, relating
| to population, the business of the dis
trlct and the number of judges as COM
pared to statistics of other districts.
Inquiry among the lawyers reveals a
sentiment against the creation of an
other judge in the legal fraternity of
st. Cloud, and the same feeling is said
to exist at nearly all the other county
seats Of the counties embraced in the
Seventh district, with the possible ex-
ceptlon OF. Little Falls. Clay county,
which had been reported as anxious to
be attached to the Crookston district.
is said to be content to remain in the
Seventh district, and should the Little
Falls plan become a law Moorhead will
likely provide the judge in the: person
OF Attorney General Douglas. It is sun I'M
derstood however that Senator Peter
son OF Clay county is opposed to any
change either in the boundaries of the
present district or to an increase in the
number OF judges, and with Clay's SEN
ator opposed to the bill it will have
hard shedding in the senate.-St. Cloud
Journal Press, Jan. 20.)
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive. Rider provides that the third
judge to be appointed by the governor
shall reside in either the counties of
Morrison, Wadena, Todd or Douglas.
1t further provides that one of the
Judges shall reside in either of the
counties of Morrison, Mile Laos. Ben
ton or Stearns and that another Judge
shall reside in either of the counties of
Clay, Otter Tail or Becker.
Judge Baxter has written a firm in
Wadena in which he says that neither
ne nor Judge searle will take any in
terest in the matter, and he. is of the
opinion that Little Falls attorneys are
back OF the bill. From this it is ex-
pected that they intend to secure the
new judge, if the bill passes.

posed OF the counties OF Clay, Becker,

- BIG slHo sa.AGE DITCH.
Northern Minnesota Ditch Draining Eleven
Towns.-Over 500 Farmers Benefited

IOWns.-Oyer 500 Farmers Benefited
The Crooston Times says: Judicial
ditch No. 1, of Polk county, is the first
ditch of the kind to be constructed in
Minnesota, and it is also the largest
drainage ditch in the State. Its his
tory is most interesting one. -
In July, 1907 a meeting of farmers
was held at Snake postoffice in the
northwest corner of Marshall county.
the object of the meeting being to de-
wise some means to prevent the annual
overflow of Snake river. The Snake
river is small stream which flows
north along the westernr-part of Mar
shall county, finally emptying into the
Red river. The stream overfiows each
year causing a large territory to be in
undated and resulting in great loss to
the farmers. At this meeting Fl. J.
Beardmore, a prominent farmer of
Polk county, proposed that ditch be
dug beginning at the northeast corner
of section 10, of the town of Farley in
Polk county, and running due west to
the Red river. He showed that this
ditch would drain all the flooded terri
tory. His proposition was unanimously
adopted. .--
When the work of securing signers
to the petition for the ditch was under
taken it was discovered that there was
no way to assess benefits for the. ditch
in both Marshall and Polk counties.
At the special session of the legisla-
ture, therefore, last winter Senator
Grindeland secured the passage of a
law which would allow benefits to be
assessed in two or more counties for
the same ditch. Under this law sew
eral bitches have already been begun.
LAS soon as the law was signed by
the governor the board of county com
missioners of Polk county ordered the
construction of the ditch. Meanwhile
Mr.. Beardmore had had to head off
several other bitches proposed by the
farmers of the territory affected by the
big ditch. Viewers were then an
pointed by the district court which un-
der Senator Grindeland's law, is given
charge of the construction of all bitches
in which the benefits are to be assessed
to more than one county, and the view
ers took up their difficult task of asses
sing damages to suit the five hundred
farmers who live in the territory af-
fected by the ditch.
SsThe viewers finished their work a,
few weeks ago and through the clerk
OF court for Polk county the taxpayers
affected were notified of the amount of
their assessment. An avalanche of
appeals Immediately poured in upon
the court. A day Of hearing was set
for last1Week when over two hundred
farmers from the territory affected ar
rived IN Crookston. Largely through

PAID THE INDIANS.
Agent Michelet Paid Over 500 Indians at
Vineland Last Week.

The Little Falls Transcript of last
Monday says: "Indian Agent Michelet
and party returned Saturday from
Vineland, on Mile Laos, where they
had been to pay the members of the
tribe the money the government had
granted them for the improvements
they are about to abandon. The total
amount allowed the Indians was about
SIS, 900, and 61O Indians were entitled
to shares. At the payment made at.
last sak Dan :
appeared and took their money. Be
fore they were paid this money each
Indian had to agree to leave the Mile
Laos region, and to state what reserva-
ton he would select his allotment in.
There are several reservations, includ-
ing White Earth, Red Lake, Leech
Lake, $Cass Lake and Winnebigoshish,
and the Indians were each given their
choice. The Indians hesitated about
selecting their reservation before they
received their money, evidently hoping
they would get their pay for improves
ments and still delay removal. The
payment was delayed several hours be-
fore the Indians would come to the
terms fixed by the agent and state what
reservations they would select for
their future homes. .:ssszis.
"But.the Indians finally yielded, and
then received the government pay. IT
was nearly $50 a head, and the govern
ment paid by checks drawn to the
heads of families Some checks were
as large as 5000.
"Most of the Indians decided to re-
move to White Earth, but some will go
to each of the other reservations.
"The Indian agent said that no ar
rangements had yet been made for re-
moving the Indians, and it would Be
some weeks. before the work would Be
attempted. 1t will require some time
to prepare the other reservations for
the coming of several; hundred Indians,
as they must be comfortably cared for
upon their arrival. + .ssss..-szs

companied Agent Michelet were d. s.
Morrison, T. 81. Beauleau, J. b. Per-

them are well known in Little Falls.
Morrison was born and reared at Grow
Wing, and is a son of John George
Morrison, a pioneer of this section of
the State.
s'This was the first visit of Agent
Michelet to this city, and he found the
route between Mile Laos and Little
Falls the best of any he had travelled.
He left Vineland at 10 O'Clock Satur-
day morning, took dinner at Pierz, and
reached this city before 4 in the after
noon. He expects to visit Little Falls
in making future trips to Mile Laos. y
