Our New Train Service.

The new passenger service went into
effect last Monday and the train from
the north which was due to arrive at
exactly IL o'clock according to the new
schedule, was twenty minutes late. The
train consisted of engine No. 125, the
combination express, baggage and mail
car, smoker, day coach and chair car,
"Allouez.' In equipment the train is
much better train than the old one.
The train was well filled with passen-.
gers, many of them through passengers
from the head of the lakes and inter-
mediate points. The train was made
up at Milaca where the through train
from Duluth to Sioux City leaves for
st. Cloud and Willmar. The engine and
smoker were in waiting at Milaca when
the train from Duluth came in and the
day coach and chair car were switched
OF from the rear of the Sioux City
train and hooked onto the Princeton
and Elk River train which started on
its trip to the twin cities, while the
Duluth-Sioux City train proceeded on
its Journey via St. Cloud. The con-
nections at Milaca are close and allow
just time enough for transfer of bag
gage and express. Passengers in the
day car and chair car are not obliged
to transfer at all and the train in all
respects is through train between the
twin cities and Duluth. The running
time OF the train between St. Paul and
Duluth is six hours and twenty-five
minutes The train leaves Duluth at
6:45 A. M. and arrives at Minneapolis at
l2:4O and St. Paul at LOS P. M. Il ar
rlves at Princeton at IL A. M. Return
ing the train leaves St. Paul at 2:35
and Minneapolis at 3:O5 P, M. and ar.
rives at Princeton at..4:46.P. M, getting
into Duluth at P. M. The train is in
charge of Conductor Works, with
Campbell as brakeman, while Swad-
ding still holds the fort in the baggage
and express car. He now has charge
OF Uncle Sans mail sacks as there is
no mail clerk on the new train The

OUR COUNTY AFT AIRS
County Commissioners fleet and Take
Up Lot Of Business Which
is Disposed or. @
The New Train Service Went Into
Effect Last r1onday and it is
~~. Proving Satisfactory.

The board of county commissioners
got around the long table in the COM
mlssioners' room at the court house yes
terday morning and proceeded to take
up lot of county business. One of the
first things that the board took up was
a Milaca village smallpox bill amount-
ing to $95.25. The bill was subjected
to considerable scrutiny and the board
had some doubts as to certain charges
but it was advised by telephone from
Milaca that the bill had been properly
dehorned by the village council, and
SO the county board allowed the bill,
and a smallpox. bill of $50 from the vii
lage of Princeton received the same
consideration.
Chairman Foltz and A. c.. Vernon of
the town board of Greenbush came be-
fore the board to talk over the matter
OF the proposed bridge across the West
Branch. This bridge is referred to as
the brick yard bridge as the Brickton
yards are anxious to have new bridge
built across the river. At present the
bridges are in bad shape, one of them
having been condemned while another
ought to be. An attempt will be made
to get an appropriation from the legis-
lature toward the bridge, which it is
estimated will cost about $1,000. The
board stated that if an appropriation
could be secured from the legislature
it would make an appropriation out Of
the county road and bridge fund, and
the township will also appropriate an
amount toward the bridge. Represen-
tatives Of the brick yards have pledged
to help in the construction of the bridge.
Attorney Foster appeared before the
board for the Mile Laos Lumber Co.,
which renewed it's request for tax re-
fundment, but the. board turned down
the request as of yore. 49,
The petition of F. Bornstedt,. A. Bos-
from and others for a new: school dis
trict out Of .theaeast endsof district H.
the isoreston district, was heard and
the petition was granted. ~~~. = =
The board rescinded the resolution
requiring the county attorney to exam
inn and certify to all bills presented to
the board.
The road petition of J. L. Mourning
and others for a road running south
from Longs Siding to Brickton was
taken up for consideration. John G..
Hatch was before the board to talk
over the matter of damages in the lay
ing out OF the road. The board will in
all probability grant the petition.
When the board adjourns it will be
to july.

The New Mail Schedule,

Under the new mail schedule Prince
ton gets all it's mail by through pouch
only, as there is no mail clerk on the
new train and all letters must now be
mailed at the postoffice as there is no
mail agent on the train to receive
them. Postmaster Cordiner says that
sout pound mail will close at 1915 A.
M. and northbound mail at 4 P. M.
Letters mailed at the office later than
this may not getin the outgoing mail.
The morning mail is now distributed
by noon hour and the evening mail by
supper time, so that in the future
Princeton people can get their mail be-
fore supper. The new mail schedule
will be greatly appreciated by all ex-
cept those. who have for long time
used the postofdce lobby for play
ground, date clearing house, rubber
neckingg observatory, etc.
