The Cut-oyer Lands,

Editor Pease had time enough on
his recent trip to Duluth to note the
evidences Of the passing Of the cut
over timber lands. He says:
"I'm not sticking my nose up any
more at any cut-over timber lands.
Land that you and I wouldn't look at
ten years ago, believing it to be worth
less. is in demand to-day, and in only
a few years it will boast of neat farm
houses, big barns and all that goes
towards making a desirable home.
Between here and Duluth I've made a
number of trips, and I looked upon
the country we passed through as
barren waste. Last month, making
the same trip, saw here and there,
as [ passed through the different
counties, the new settlers shack, the
foundation OF a home. It opened my
eyes to the fact that only few years
must slip by and all that country will
be taken up by the thrifty settler and
will be producing crops of all kinds,
thereby adding to the wealth of Min
nesota. The beginning has been
made, and it is well.''

Princeton Egg Market.

The egg market at Princeton is re-

Capt. Patterson's ''eggery" the other

boxes of eggs. crates of eggs, and
eggs all about. Big eggs and little
eggs, tan-colored eggs, and eggs white
as the driven snow, all ready for the

into the hands of the hired girls and
cooks and scramble around in great
shape for short time and are seen no
more.
Capt. Patterson said that he had a
little time on his hands and that he
proposed to test the practicability of
establishing a permanent egg and

Tor eggs and butter and Tor that mat
ter farm produce of all kinds, and there
is no question but what a good cash
market could be established here I'M
der the proper conditions. Mr.. Pat
terson is buying all the way from a
dozen to fifteen cases of eggs daily
at present and was paying thirteen
cents last Monday. He thinks that
the receipts Of eggs at Princeton will
average around two dozen cases daily
and that of this number about one-half
are used in home consumption while
the remainder are shipped to Duluth
and the twin cities.
The merchants of Princeton have
not taken kindly to the invasion of the
market by Mr.. Patterson and at a
meeting Monday night to consider
matters of interest to the retail deal
ers' association the egg question was
brought up for discussion and it was
decided to start the market Tuesday
morning at fourteen cents in trade or
thirteen cents cash, the same as Pat
terson paid Monday. Mr.. Patterson
opened the market at fourteen cents
cash Tuesday and proceeded to do
business. Later on the merchants ad-
vanced the price another cent, or four
teen for cash and fifteen cents in
trade. Mr.. Patterson stood pat and
paid fourteen cents straight during the
day. It's new feature and new feat

The spelling team of the Princeton
high school returned home last Satur-
day afternoon feeling jubilant. They
were not exactly victors for they had
not won the contest from the Elk River
team but they split the honors even SO
that Elk River could not claim the
victory. Prof. Selleck and several of
the teachers accompanied the team and
the alternates and there were a few
rooters went along to cheer up the
team. The contest was held in the
Union church. All members of. the
Princeton team were able to take their
places with the exception of Mont
Woodcock who was taken i'll just after
supper and Ida Smith was substituted
in his place. The contest proceeded
for some time before any of the team
were retired, but Jennie Boyle, Hazel
Jaa4 and Clyde VanWormer dropped
out as the words kept getting harder
and harder, though the Elk River
team stood firm and all appeared to
be stayers, when alas, came a few
Summers and trippers that sent three
to their seats, and then there was a
tie, soon however to be broken by
another of the Elk River spoilers be-
ing retired. This left Princeton in
the lead but by a narrow margin of
one and it remained this way until
Grace Morehouse went down on the
word demesne and made the contest
even. for those remaining on the floor
stood pat until time was called. There
was nothing else to do but call the
contest draw, and it is hoped at
some future time to try another contest
and settle the fight. Both teams did
we'll and had evidently familiarized
themselves with the words that were
to be given them.

ing was made the occasion for union
services during the day by the Meth
odist and Congregational churches,
at the very warm-hearted suggestion
of Rev. Gratz.
The services in the morning were
held at the Congregational church at
which time Rev. Steenson preached
his farewell sermon. The church was
filled and the services were interesting
throughout. Rev. Steenson certainly
disappointed any who may have ex-
pected the customary farewell talk,
for his sermon was totally devoid of
any such features.
He spoke from the sixth chapter of
Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, the
key stone text being "Be strong in
the Lord and the power of his might. y
The warfare for righteousness was a
great conflict, against a great enemy

Rev. Steenson's sermon was one
worthy OF the theme and was delivered
with much spirit and force. He paid his
respects to the ''higher criticism of

Different Kinds of Loyalty.

Judge Collins self-recommendat alton,
which some critical persons might
consider slightly egotistical, that he
is the only candidate who would be a
reliable servant of the people if nom
mated and elected naturally has had
an unexpected effect in drawing from
voters with the ordinary defects of
character that envious criticism that
excessive virtues always seem to pros
woke. It can be said at the outset
that there is every reason why the
judge should be reliable servant of
the people and the Republican party.
They have kept him III office for thirty
one years and a feeling Of loyalty
would naturally arise in one so sig
nally honored. If for the first time in
generation the judge is out of Office
his retirement from the supreme bench
was timed as near as possible to his
hoped-for higher elevation, so that his
offffice-holding presumably should be
interrupted as little as possible.
In spite of this prima facie case of
loyalty due to ordinary gratitude
there are voters who claim that if the
report that Judge Collins accepted the
appointment as senator from Gov.
Lind is true he was loyal only to Col
Inns. It is possible that the Judge,
in his political inexperience, did not
recognize that his action would bring
the bitterest internal dissentions into
the Republican party and leave it a
prey to Democratic schemes and at
tacks.
Then there are others, perhaps of
Jealous nature, who assert that Judge
Collins did not support and did not
even vote for Mr.. Eustis when the lat
ter was candidate. AS to the second
assertion no one except Judge Collins
can speak authoritatively, but his re-
liable loyalty probably led him to
cast his ballot for his party IS nominee,
although he was heard to say during
the campaign that he would not vote
for him, and his well-known negative.
II not hostile, attitude caused concern
in Republican councils.
A glance at the convention proceed
ings when Mr.. Eustis was nominated
discloses two kinds of loyalty, and
will, perhaps, throw some light upon
the Collins kind. Mr.. Eustis received
on the last ballot SIS votes. Mr.. Van
SAINT 1916 and Judge Collins 22s.
When Mr.. Van SAINT was called on
after Mr.. Eustis was nominated. he de-
livered, although candidate disap-
pointed and beaten by compare
lively small margin, speech ringing
with loyalty from which it is necessary
to quote only one sentence: "But we
are all Republicans and no Republican
will carry the flag further into the
enemy's camp the coming fall than 1
will, unless he has better ability to do
so.''
Then Judge Collins was called for.
The judge had staked little on the
result, for with commendable caution
he had retained his seat on the SUI
preme bench and his small vote proves
that he lost very small chance. The
Judge spoke as follows, according 10 4

which owing to the stormy weather
was postponed until Sunday. Brief
funeral services were held at the home
of the deceased in St. Paul on Thurs
day and were under the auspices of
the Druids of which Mr.. Depew was a
member. The services Sunday were
attended by the relatives and large
number of the old friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Depew. The services were taken
in charge by the local Masons at the
request of Ancient Landmark lodge of
St. Paul of which Mr.. Depew was a
member. Rev. Gratz oHiciated at the
funeral and at the grave the Masonic
burial ceremony was observed.
Richard 81. Depew was born in Nc
Connellsville, Ohio, on April 2, 1882,
and he was married to Mary Jane
Goulding in Cincinnati March 9, 1854.
They came to Minnesota in 1856 and
remained short time and returned
in 1851, and for some time made
Princeton their home. It was at this
time that Princeton was threatened
with the horrors of an Indian out
break and Mr.. Depew designed and
helped build the old stockade that was
erected at Princeton to protect the in
habitants from the Indians. In 1870
Mr.. Depew removed to st. Anthony
and later to the city of St. Paul where
he resided until his death. By trade
he was an expert machinist and pat
tern maker and he designed and built
the first stationary engine ever made
in Minnesota. He had the reputation
OF being the best machinist in the
State and up to short time prior to
his death he worked at pattern making.
Mr.. and Mrs. Depew celebrated their
golden wedding last March and it was
an occasion in which they took great
pride and interest. At that time Mr..
Depew was ailing some but managed
to, keep up to celebrate the golden
event in his life, and soon after the
wedding anniversary he took to his
bed with pneumonia and fingered for
five weeks. He had the distinction of
being a cousin of Chauncy Depew the
orator and statesman.
No children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Depew, and the widow who is
the Oldest of the Goulding children
will make her home with her relatives
in Princeton in the future.
