Thus far this season the Pacific nerth

ATHENA, AUGUST A.. 1870

Athena is not the only town in the
county that has been called on to increase
its water supply. Pendleton resorts to
the use of river water, which is 80
impregnated with malaria germs, that
the health officer gives instructions to
boil it before using for domestic pur-
poses. Numerous cases Of typhoid fever
would indicate that the officers instruct
ions had not been stringently carried
into effect. Pine creek has about dried
up, with the result that Weston finds her
supply cut short. Her city fountain,
which is supplied with water from real
spring, is stationary affair and can not
be transported from house to house.
Weston finds it's another case of "dig
up" and her city dads have already
taken action. They have been active on
previous occasions. 1t beats the band,
how those mountain springs do dry up
every season when water is most needed,
Milton too, we'll Milton don't know
whether to increase her water supply or
not. Some think she should, while
others think she shouldn't. The latter
think is generally thunk by the property
owner. As be has been boss over in
Milton town and had things his own way
to the extent that another town has
sprung up in his door yard, it is a ques-
ton whether Milton will secure more
water OF. not, Notwithstanding the Eagle
suggests that an increase would be
good thing for the town.

1t is evident that the days Of the cir
Gus are far from being o'er. At the pres
ent time two of these big aggregations
are exhibiting in the northwest. One
was at Walla Walla yesterday, and not
withstanding the fact that it exhibited
there last year, the same large crowd OF
people went oyerto "see the elephant. "
The other show is billed to appear in
Athena on the 28th and the same large
crowds viii again flock to ''see the eIe-

mum popularized the American circus in
connection with the Roman hippodrome
public interest and favor seem to have
increased and not abated with lapse of
years. The modern circus In manner of
entertainment, has proven itself to be

SO far this season in Athena. One small

good opening prices Of new market,

Don't Need to Now.

The A1ilaca Times says: THE dis
covery of 'petritied APPLE in the
chimney of the old Northern Pacific
depot at Brainerd the other day has
aroused the recollection of an old en-
ploye who says it is relic of scheme
originated by the land department of
that company years ago to boom
northern Minnesota. An exhibit of
Northern Minnesota fruit was gotten
up and the apples were made of plaster
OF paris and neatly painted. and the
'petritied apple is we'll preserved
specimen Of the gold brick sche,ne.''
It may have been years ago neces-
sary to adopt such tactics to induce
immigration, but Nature seems to have
gone the counterfeit one better for
northern Minnesota is to-day produc-
ing some of the finest kind of apples
as Aitkin and other counties can
testify. No gold bricks have. to be
used any more to get settlers in north
ern Minnesota. The country years
ago was considered good enough for
pine. bears and sQuaws. but man lit
tie knew what wealth there was in store
for the settler in the northern domain
of Minnesota.

Great Camp of Maccabees.

There is some talk among the Mac
cabees Of the State of organizing a
Great Camp of the Maccabees, these
camps existing in many of the states
where the K. O. T. NJ. is strong. The
order has been growing quite rapidly
in this State for the past few years
and at the meeting Of the K. O. T. M.
tents throughout the State this week
the matter will be taken up and voted
on. At the meeting of the Princeton
tent this evening the tent will discuss
the matter and the annual election OF
officers will also take place.
In the event Of the organization OF
a Great Camp the State commander
will be elected by the grand camp as
representing the lodge of the State,
instead of being an appointee of the
supreme commander of the supreme
camp at Port Huron. Mich, as is now
the case.

Was a journal NeWSy.

Among the group Of Minneapolis
Journal newsboys of twenty five years
ago that appeared in the Journals
silver anniversary last week, was the
picture of D. G. Johnson, who "hus-
tled' Journals in Minneapolis quar-
ter of a century ago. In the edition
also appeared an Interview the Jour-
nal representative in Princeton had
with Mr.. Johnson.
Among the most popular of Jour-
nal newsies and carriers of twenty
five years ago was a little lad who was
nicknamed Skinny" and Boxer" by
his comrades. D. G.. Johnson of
Princeton. Minn.. who answered those
slang titles years ago, laughingly re-
fers to his old boyhoOd days
when he attended the Franklin school
in Minneapolis and sold Journals af-
ter school hours. Mr.. johnson is now
employed in John n. Berg's general
store at Princeton, and when Jour-
nal representative dropped in to see
him the other day it required little
effort for Mr.. Johnson to become rem
iniscent. and he took great pleasure
in telling of the days when he cried
"Journal!' on the noisy thorough
fares of Minneapolis twenty-five years
ago.

What Constitutes a Legal Jag,

The question of what constitutes in
toSlcation within the meaning of the
law has just been passed upon by a
judge Of the United States circuit
court in Vermont. The point rose in
connection with an insurance case. in
which the company refused to pay the
policy on the ground that the person
injured, who had stated in his applica-
ton that he was never intoxicated, had
frequently been seen in that condition.
In an elaborate opinion the court de-
fined three degrees of iltoxication:
In the first degree the ideas are I'M
commonly vivacious, but the individ-
ual retains perfectly the consciousness
of his external condition, and in fact
may be said to be in complete posses
sion of his senses.''
In the second dergee the man has
still the use of his senses, though they
are remarkably enfeebled. but he is
entirely beside himself, memory and
judgment having abandoned him.
I'm the last stage, a man not only
loses the possession of his reason. but
his senses are SO enfeebled that he is
no longer conscious of his external
condition.
On the basis of this classification
the Judge ruled that the man had never
taken the third degree'' and could
not have been fully intoxicated.

WIN BIG MINING SUIT.
The United States Court at Valdez,
Alaska, Decides Bonanza Timing
Suit for Princeton Parties.
Ownership of Rich Copper rline De-
cided in Favor OF K. F. rlCClel-
Ian and Associates.

Last Saturday night the U n O n re-
ceived a telegram from R. F. McClel-
Ian at Seattle stating that the bonanza
copper mine suit in which Fred and
several associates are interested, had
been decided in their favor. Mr.. Nc
Clellan had just arrived from Valdez,
Alaska, where he had been for several
weeks as the principal witness in the
famous mining litigation in which the
Chittyna Exploration Co. of San Fran
cisco was plaintiff and r. F. McClel-
Ian, ct al. were defendants. The case
will go down in Alaska mining annals
as one of the most important ever be-
fore the courts, as it involved owner
ship to one Of the richest copper mines
eyer discovered anywhere on the
American continent, and the wealth of
which the best mining experts cannot
estimate.
The title to the bonanza mine de-
pended on the simple but highly i'm
portant question of grubstake owner
ship. In March, 1900 Mr.. Mcclellan
and Herb and Ed Gates, Frank Bro
gan, Frank Patterson, Chas. Howard.
Douglas Loring, George Patten and
Louis Lindquist went to the Copper
river country to make explorations in
that region, and that summer was dis
covered the famous bonanza mine sit
uated about 100 miles back from Val
dez, and about twenty miles from the
Nicola copper mine, which was dis
covered the year previous by the Chit
tyna Co. party, of which Mr.. McClel-
Ian was a MEMBER as we'll as being
identified with the Chittyna Co.
MIR. Mcclellan returned home with
the party in the fall of 1900 and began
to make preparations to develop the
property and ascertain it's value. He
returned the following year and came
back in the fall with some valuable
samples of copper from the mine.
Eastern parties became interested in
the mine and in the meantime the Chit
tHna Co. began suit for the ownership
Of the mine, their contention being
that the parties who discovered the
mine were at that time living off of
the Chittyna supply of provisions. but
it was proved to the satisfaction OF
the court that the discoveries of the
mine were not subsiSting off of the
Chittyna provisions. and the Chittyna
Co. for that reason can claim no in
terest in the mine.
The outcroppings Of the copper de-
post at the bonanza mine are almost
pure copper, and chunks Of copper
weighing tons were lying about an
opening in the earth seven or eight
feet wide and havin" depth of over
100 feet.

\ district conference of the Duluth
district of the NJ. E. church will be
held at Staples on Thursday and Fri
day of this week and will be in charge
of Presiding Elder Clemens, while
Rev. w. Z. J. Gratz will act as secre-
tary of the conference. It was the in
tention at one time to hold the con-
ference at Princeton, but it was finally
concluded to let some other place in
the district have the meetings as
Princeton has been having honors
enough for a time and the conference
would have meant much work by those
connected with the church to get ready
for and entertain those who would at
tend. A very interesting program of
the two days. meeting appeared in
the Staples World last week. Rev.
Gratz will be one of the speakers at
the conference. He will deliver an

s Unorganized is 1902.

A heavy increase is in the village of
Milaca where the mill property was
assessed at a greater figure than last
year, and there was also a material
increase in other personal property.
In the village of Princeton: there is an
increase Of 1927, $50. The decrease in
the town of Princeton comes from de-
taching Hayland from Princeton and

county. This territory that has
yielded such vast treasures of timber
in the past is developing into one OF
the finest agricultural sections in the

forests of white pine will be more than
recompensed by the fact that way has

culture. an industry that will endure
