Fac Smile State and County Ballots APP
pear in the Union.
In this issue of the Uni n appear
fac smile State and county ballots
copies of the ballots that will be
given you to vote on election day.
The law provides for the publication
of these ballots in order that voters
may familiarize themselves with the
tickets.
The ballots are all plainly marked
with the exception of the constitutional
amendment ballot which. please re-
member: will be printed separately on
pink paper. On this ballot appear the
three constitutional amendment prop
ositions, one to increase the railroad
gross earnings tax to four per cent,
another to permit the loaning of the
permanent school and university
funds to school districts, towns, vii
lagos and cities to within fifteen per
cent of the real valuation of the
county Or municipality desiring the
loan, while the third proposition is to
abolish the grand jury system of the
State. The ordinary voter will have
a mighty hard time making out the
meaning of these amendments from
the manner in which they appear on
the ballots. This may be the legal
phraseology, but it's not the plain,
business way of doing things. The
purposes of the amendments should be
more clearly stated so that they can
be understood in the United States
language at least.
Be sure and get ':pink pill" bal
lot, and be sure and vote for the
gross earnings proposition, whatever
you do The second amendment is all
right, and if you want to abolish the
grand jury and let every Tom, Dick
and Harry of a justice of the peace
and county attorney act in the capac-
ity of grand jurors, then vote for
the third and last proposition.
Study the ballots over carefully
and familiarize yourself with them.

for this reason very few farmers were
present. the audience being composed
of Princeton people who enjoyed al
most two hours of interesting speeches.
E. L. Mcmillan presided and local
candidates occupied seats on the plat
form.
Col. Davidson who is speaking I'M
der the auspices of the national Re-
publican committee, delivered a very
interesting address on national issues,
reviewing the records of the two par
ties from the time of Bryan and ''l6
to ~ to the present campaign. Col.
Davidson is man of fine presence,
and has very pleasing delivery. He
interspersed his address with many
pat" stories and illustrations. that
sent his arguments home with great
force.
Mr.. Smith who followed him. ham
dies State issues. and confined his
remarks principally to Mr.. Dunn's
public record. The speaker had moth
ing to say that was new to his au-
dience, which was, naturally enough
in accord with him in all statements,
and in fact his hearers knew Mr.
Dunn much better then he did Mr.
Smith fully realized that talking to
a Princeton audience about Mr.. Dunn
was like teaching an old drake how
to swim.
There was music by the Princeton
cornet band and the Princeton glee
club.
At the conclusion of the addresses
Mr.. Mcmillan made few remarks on
the necessity of going to the poles on
election day and voting.

FIRST RUM RIVER LOGGER.

Daniel Stanchfield, Pioneer Lumberman
and Logger Leaves Minnesota.
Daniel Stanchfeld, the father of the
numbering and logging industry of
Minnesota has left Minnesota in his
old age. almost penniless.
According to recent newspaper
sketch the veteran lumberman has left
Minnesota and with the assistance of
friends has gone to Helena, to spend
his remaining days. Before leaving
he addressed short letter to the pub
lie, in which he asid:
Sept. l, 1847, I stood on the east
bank of the Mississippi river, with two
half-breeds, Bottineau and Manock,
looking at a bark canoe that was to
carry the supplies for an exploring
voyage to find pine somewhere along
the river in the wilds above, in suffic-
lent quantity to warrant the building
of a mill at the St. Anthony Falls"
He recites how he made the explora-
ton for pine: with a timber crew he
went up Rum river to what is now
Cambridge. With his Indian guides,
he then proceeded up the river. leav-
ing the crew to bank logs at the Cam
bridge camp. He was the first cruiser
to visit Mile Laos lake. This dis
trict was then all the property of the
Ojibways, or Chippewas, with whose
chief he smoked the pipe of peace.
The report which Stanchfeld
brought back to St. Anthony, and
which was so widely published, said:
Il have seen pine that. seventy mills
cannot cut in as many years, although
[ have seen but a small. part of it.. :"
And, relying entirely upon his
veracity, Cushing, Rantoul & Co.
sent from the east $4,000 with which
to build the first mill on the site of St.
Anthony village-the nucleus of the
great metropolis of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Stanchfeld further says: my
money in 1860 was all in logs, I had
100000 feet, but could find no buyers
no one in those hard times had
money to take them. I could not get
them to a lower river market. Like
all the other business men, I became
bankrupt in 1861.
''Then went to Washington. I ar
rived the next morning after the bat
tie of Bull Run. I saw the defeated
soldiers coming into the city, and the
people packing up to leave. 1 re-
manned until S. P. Chase, treasurer,
got the greenbacks out, when I came
west and went into business here
again. I have been unfortunate in
my old age in losing all my capital"
Mr.. Stanchfeld was a. Mantle, and
the first Mantle in what is now Min
neapolis. He is now eighty-fve years
old, and thus it is that this man. the
first to reveal the wonderful richness
and vast extent of Minnesota pine,
ends his declining years in almost
punery while vast fortunes have been
made from the pine forests that he dis
covered.
