Spelling Team Wanted.

Superintendent Selleck of the Prince
ton schools wants some of the spoilers
of Princeton to organize spelling
team to spell with the high school team
that will be ready soon to do some
spelling. The children are practicing
daily at spelling and the team will be
picked in the next two weeks or SO,
and Mr.. Selleck wants them to have a
little practice with some of the local
spoilers so that they can be in as good
shape as possible for the spelling
match at Elk River which will occur
in the near future. The words used in
the spelling contests are the first 1850
words in the English speller used at
the school, and Mr.. Selleck says that
he will see that those who want to
polish up on spelling have the neces-
sary books. It is to be hoped that
some of the Princeton people will in
terest themelves in the matter and get
up team so that the high school
children can get some practice. A
spelling match could be arranged to
be held at the high school.

KILLED UNDER SLED.
A r1almo Farmer Meets a Horrible
Death by Being Crushed Under
a Load of Logs.
Slips While Driving Team and Falls
Under Sled--Was Dragged
Several Rods.

A farmer by the name of Sandberg
who lives near Malmo met with hor-
rible accident last Thursday while
hauling logs from the Davis & Fer
guson camp to the lake landing. He
was following a team driven by Ed.
Hamilton and the last time that Ham
ilton saw Sandberg the latter appeared
to be hooking a tug. A little latter
Mr.. Hamilton stopped his team to rest
and the team Sandberg was driving
came up and stopped, while the man
who was driving behind Sandberg
went ahead to Hamilton to make in
quiries about Sandberg who had dis
appeared, and the two men were horri-
fed to find Sandberg's body lying I'M
der the sled fearfully mangled. It is
thought the poor man slipped and fell
under the sled which with it's heavy
load caught his body and it dragged
it along several rods. When found
the hip bones were protruding from
the flesh and the body was crushed in
many places. The unfortunate man
must have met a fearful death. He
was middle aged man and leaves a
wife and a large family of children.
The boys in the camp took up a col
lection to help the family.

Art, Labor and Business.

The union and nOn-uniOn house
painters of Minneapolis have found a
common standing ground. It appears
that certain person who mixes paint
on palette instead of in buckets has
obtained the contract to decorate the
new State Capitol. He calls himself
mural painter,' and, as if that
were not enough, he comes from New
York. TO check this invasion of non
resident labor, four Minneapolis
house-painters have applied for an
injunction to stop the execution of the
contract. They hold that the agree
ment is illegal because bids were not
advertised for, no bond was taken,
and no preference was shown for Min
nesota bidders, as required by law.
At first sight this position appears
to be impregnable; but perhaps, after
all, it may be necessary to find a
modus vivendi between art on one side
and labor and business on the other.
If the contract for decorating the Sis
tine Chapel had been advertised no
doubt some competent house-painter
would have underbid Michael Angelo.
Yet it might not have been best to ac-
cept the lowest bid. The walls of the
Boston Public Library could have
been covered with color, we'll laid on,
by 'lnembers in good standing of the
Decorators and Plasterers' Union, ut
a lower rate per square yard than was
paid for the work of Abbey, Sargent
and Puvis de Chavannes. It might
even happen sometime that it would be
better for Oshkosh to let a New York
artist decorate its public buildings
than to depend entirely upon Oshkosh
industry.

lowest, the figure being S24l. 80 for put

The War Department Insists Draw,
Necessitating Another Bill.
DR.. N. K. Whittemore and Frank T.
White of Elk River were in ST.. Paul to
consult with Congressman Buchanan,
of the Sixth district, relative to the
new bridge to be built across the Mis-
sissippi at Elk River. The authorities
have encountered an unlocked for OBJ
stacle to the construction of the bridge
from the war department, which insists
on the placing of draw in the bridge
for navigation purposes.
Congressman Buchanan will be asked
to introduce a bill declaring the Mis-
sissippi not navigable at Elk River
and if the bill passes it will obviate
the necessity of a draw in the new
structure. 1t is estimated that the plac-
ing of draw in the new bridge would
mean an addition of several thousand
n the cost Of construction and main
tenance of the bridge.
The bill giving the Kichli Electric
company, of Minneapolis, authority
to build a dam a few miles above the
site of the proposed bridge, it is stated,
will have to be amended because it
does not provide for low sluiceway
to be built in the new dam.-St. Paul
