When the articles OF Incorporation
ny were filed with the secretary of
state, it was discovered that there was
already one Cottonwood company in
this state, consequently it became
necessary to change the name of the
company from here. As most of the
people in the Butter creek company
were from Tacoma, it was decided to
adopt the name of the Tacoma Irri-
cation company, for their enterprise.
The company takes water from the
Hinkle ditch and waters lands which

asked If he intended to resign in re-
sponse to the demand of President

The Board of Review.

The village council met on Tuesday
June 26, as a board OF review and
made some oranges II svfa'1nsss Us fg:
turned by the assessor, but nothing
out of the ordinary took place with
the exception of a little tilt it had
with G. II. Rines. When his name on
the list was reached he was found to
be assessed for 5000 worth of property
The board thought he was worth con-
siderable more than that, SO concluded
to raise the assessment to~S1. 900. Ac-
cording to the provisions of law Mr..
Rines was notified to appear before
the board to "show cause if any there
be- why he should not be pronounced
guilty of owning that much property.
In answer to the summons Mr.. Rines
appeared at the Office of the recorder,
putting from tie exercise of climbing
the stairs, and as he says, had his
remaining breath knocked out of him
by the announcement of the raise. All
prOtestations were useless on his part
and the ruthless board allowed the
figures to remain which accuse our
worthy townsman Of owning within
the village limits one thousand dol
lars worth of personal property. AS
usual there are claims that some have
escaped just taxation, but the judy
ment Of the board was supreme for
the time and the matter is up to the
county commissioners.

ment, as follows: For fires south OF
First street. commonly called Depot
street, the whistle will give the fire
screech and then one blast of the reg
ular whistle. For fires north of First
street the fire screech will be followed
by two blasts of the regular whistle.
For fires on the north side of the river
the fire screech will be followed by
three blasts of the regular whistle.
AS every run made by the fire depart
ment is expensive people are requested
to use judgment in turning in alarms.
The burning out of chimney with no
danger to the building should not
cause an alarm to be sent in.

PRINCETON IS AHEAD.
Sundays Game Falls to The Local
Club, the Score Being Nine
In its Favor.
The Boys Get down to Business and
Play a Game With Very
Few Errors.

The Minneapolis Grays went down
to defeat in Sundays game, the home
club having pulled itself together in
something like it's old-time shape. It
has played good bail all the season,
but in several of it's games some un-
lucky error has caused its defeat.
-Four errors are marked against it in
this game, but they We're not made at
critical times when scores could be
made on them. AS in every game
played this season, Woods led in the
number of men struck out, having
nine to his credit to the down river
twirler five. He pictched one wild
ball, and SO did the pitcher for the
Grays. The Grays have to answer
for eight errors. Woods and Carlson
each hit the ball for two bases. The
down river aggregation was out
classed in almost every particular and
while the game was good one it was
not close enough to elicit the wild en-
thusiasm that is generally manifest
among the lovers of the game. Fol-
lowing is the score.

The MILITIA FIGHTS
Two Companies are Captured and
the Home Boys of q Show
Princeton's Mettle.
A Charge is Made and Shots are
Fired, but the Cartridges
are all Blank Ones.

The march which was made by COM
panies G, G A and I from Camp
Lakeview last Friday furnished a
great amount of work and amusement
which was not down on the program
when the boys started out. The road
taken led in a westerly direction up
one OF the numerous ''coolies' which
lead up between the hills from lower
plateau to the level country. These
coolies are from four to- six miles in
length and are all up hill in going
out. The four companies marched
about ten miles and established camp
Gerlach, where they stayed all night.
Before the return march on Saturday
the officers planned a sham battle
and companies A and 1 were sent
ahead under command of Major
Resche, their part being to form an
ambush and capture companies G and
e as they went down the road. Capt.
Little: as the ranking officer, had COM
mand of companies G and G and the
officers of the two companies held a
council of war in which it was decided
to carry the war into Africa and in
stead of marching tamely down to
captivity to turn the tables and cap
ture the ambushed troops. Scouts
were sent out who located the enemy
in the brush at the side of the road
under the hills. A decoy squad was
sent along the road while the main
force followed the crest of the hills
until they were enabled to look down
on the enemy whose whole attention
was occupied in watching the decoy
squad. When all was ready orders
were issued to charge and down the
hill went G and G, through brush,
over stones and gullies, through sticky
mud and pools of water all the time
keeping up rapid fire of muskets,
and arriving Immediately in the rear
OF the ambush before the doughty
soldiers in the brush were aware of it.
Major Resche with company A and
the greater portion of company I were
captured, but part of the latter saved
themselves by ignominious flight.
The prisoners were compelled to join
in the march back to camp through
the rain and sticky mud, where all
arrived in condition to lead an OBJ
server to readily believe real battle
might have been fought. The ma
neuver was greatly enjoyed by all,
but company G., our own home militia
boys feel particularly jubilant over
being the heroes of the battle.

The Crops.

Reports from wheat sections in Min
nesota and neighboring states show
wheat to be in good condition and
with the dryer weather which it is rea-
sonable to expect there is promising
outlook. The average annual precip-
itation in Minnesota is about forty
five inches and during May and June
we had nine inches. A dryer spell is
due and will probably come. In this
State and Wisconsin the potato crop
has already been damaged on clay
soil by the rotting Of the seed in the
ground, but on sandy soil there is no
apparent damage except in isolated
cases where the land is low and with
out drainage. ) experience has taught
us that continued wet weather through
the growing season is conducive to
early appearance of blight, but in
Minnesota the crop is probably not
far enough advanced to have been
affected yet. Early planted potatoes
do not rot as much as those planted
late. Corn is backward in all Sec
tions and continuation of the cool
weather we have been having will not
make it "knee high by the Fourth of
July.'

Sidewalks are not for Bicycles

Inhabitants of Princeton are not
alone in thinking that the sidewalks
are for pedestrians and that bicycles
and all other wheeled vehicles with the
exception of baby carriages should
be barred. It is not pleasant to hear
behind you bike bell and to expect
to be run over if you do not imme-
diately clear the way. The Mankato
Free Press gives the following ac-
count of an occurrence in that city:
"Some reckless bicyclist proved
himself to be a coward as we'll as
brute, while riding on Byron street
last evening before dark. In front of
the Torrey store be ran into lady,
knocked her down and tore her dress.
Instead of dismounting, as any gen
tleman would have done, to inquire
whether she was hurt, and to assist
her if necessary, and make proper
apologies and amends, he simply rode
right on, fearful that his identity
might be discovered, and paying no
| attention when she called out, wishing.
to know his name. s'sas' ssse
