To Save the Western Forests.

Wireless telegraphy is to be en-
ployed to aid in saving the forests of
the west. At regular intervals
throughout the Rocky mountains in
the forest regions where fires fire.

tablished where observers will give
notice of any fire and call help to as
sist in extinguishing it. If we could
put a man in every home in America
as an expert observer we wager that
every home would be found to need

A LOCAL OPTION BILL.

Ooe is Introduced In the Minnesota Lagis-
lature.
A local option bill has been intro
duced by Representative jacobson of
Rock county. It is the most import
ant temperance measure introduced at
the present session. It provides for
the right of local option for all coun-
ties in the State having cities whose
population does not exceed 10000 in
habitants.
Under this bill if the advocates of
temperance wish prohibition in a
county petition signed by one-tenth
OF the legal voters of the county must
be presented to the county auditor,
whereupon it will be the duty of that
official to call an election for the first
Tuesday in March. If the advocates
OF temperance win. it will be unlawful
to conduct liquor business within
the county. The liquor interests will
OF course make a fight against the
measure.

The Band Concert.

The band concert given by the men,
bers of the Princeton band at the
opera house last Friday night was
one of the best concerts for home
talent that has been given in Prince
ton. There was not the attendance
that the character of the entertain
ment warranted, but sickness and the
weather were to blame for absence of
many. The band boys who took part
in the concert are to be congratulated
on the character of their solo work
and also in the duets and other parts
OF the program. The band selections
were all good, and the concluding Sc
lection. 1.-The Frolic of the Imps,"
was we'll rendered. The solos by Mrs.
c. A. Galley and Mrs. H. G.. Cooney
added greatly to the program. Many
remained for the dance which followed
the rendering of the program. The
band boys did not make what they
should have made but did not go in
the hole on the concert.

HAS GONE TO CANADA.
e. J. NJ. KnOwIton, the Santiago Col
lector, FIees From Justice and
Goes to Canada.
Did Thriving Business in Collections
But His Commissions Exceed
ed Amount of Bills.

E. J. M. Knowlton, the Santiago
collector who for the past few years
has kept up with the world by collect
ing accounts for various persons and
failing to make satisfactory account
ing to his clients, has gone to Canada
and is probably at this time. breathing
the frigid ozone of some remote place
in that new domain
Knowlton some time ago got in
trouble over some collections which
he had for the late John Thornquist
OF Cambridge and ex-Sheriff Claggett
had him arrested and brought to
Princeton and pinched the Santiago
collector SO hard that the new Cana
dian settler s'coughed up.'' DIR.
Sauer who formerly lived in Prince
ton had given Knowlton a lot of old
bills to collect and it is said that
Knowlton failed to make any remit
ftances that would square matters.
Sauer sued Knowlton and got judg-
ment which he still possesses. There
was bench warrant out for the ar
rest of Knowlton at the last term OF
court, but he sidestepped and stood
pat for some time
After the settlement for the Thorn
quist collections he got bold again,
but there were others. Paul Hedin,
the shoe dealer, now out of business,
trusted KnOwltOn with a lot of col
lections and Knowlton made some
collections from the bills but failed to
pass over the coin and Mr.. Hedin
swore out warrant for the arrest of
the clever collector. Sheriff Shockley
went after his man, but when he got
to Santiago Knowlton had driven to
Rices' Station and when the sheriff
arrived at that place he found that
Knowlton had left his team behind
and taken the train for Grand Forks.
Traced to that place it was discovered
that Knowlton had bought ticket
to Canada where in all probability he
is resting from his strenuous existence
Of very recent date He will no@doubt
remain there and 60 into the land
business.

COLD WEATHER AND sun SPOTS.

Touch of Old Boreas and Some Huge
Sun Spots. .,..
The weather-it has been a real live
topic for the past week or so. In fact
for much longer period than that,
but Old BOreas did not get down and
howl and snort in a very bad manner
until the past week, but he certainly
made up for lost time, for he turned
on the frigid valve, put the ice ma
chine to working overtime and laid
back in his chair and sucked away at
icicles, while from Winnipeg to Key
West, Maine to California, humanity
prayed for hot air.
The climax was reached in this i'm
mediate vicinity Sunday night and
Monday morning when the cold
reached thirty to thirty-fve below. It
was simply cold-too cold for a hun
CRY coyote to go far for tempting
| carcass.
The weather moderated Tuesday
changing to blizzardy conditions, and
hit the mark at zero. Scientists say
the cold weather can be attributed to
sun spots and Prof. Payne of Carleton
says the diameter of the group is at
least 10000 miles; over eleven times
the diameter of the earth. Under
date of Feb. 9Th Prof. Payne says:
1.-The activity of the solar surface
is more marked today than it was the
last days of last week. Two groups
of spots, besides the large one noticed
above, are increasing in size. and in
terest, and there appears to be con-
siderable disturbance in another re-
gion still, where clouds of bright mat

'Activity of the solar surface is
now expected for the sun is in the
midst, probably, of the eleven year
sun-spot period. The last maximum
occurred in 1894, and the interesting
feature of that period was the fact
that sun-spots increased rapidly in the
first months of the maximum, but the
number of spots decreased more
slowly as the period went down tow
ards the minimum part of it's cycle.
It seems as if the maximum of this
cycle is beginning in the same way."
All we can do is to take the SCENT
lists statements and stick to the same
diet. The sun is a very agued body
and has awakened and rocked to s]een
millions and millions before us. It
has been an eye witness to some start
ling upheavals, ascensions and dis
tensions, contortions and distortions

The sixteen-year-old son of Edward

Jerry Besser Breaks HfsLee.

Yesterday morning Jerry Besser a
saloon keeper at Milaca was brought
down from that place with COM
pound fracture of the left leg and was
taken to the hospital where DR..
Cooney set the fractures. The acct

saloon. A lamp exploded and in
seeking safety Besser stepped on the
edge OF a cuspidor in such a manner
that he fell with the weight of his body
on the leg, causing the fracture. He
is a heavy man and he fell with such
force onsthe deg that one of the bones
protruded from the flesh. He will be
laid up for some little time from the
accident.

DR.. H. G.. Cooney has been kept
pretty busy the past week and has
been on the go most of the time. On
Friday Re was called to Glendorado
to see Louis Larson, son of Jens Lar
son, who had an attack of appendi-
citis, and the boy was brought to the
hospital on Saturday and was oper-

was called to Santiago to see
Arthur W. Goundry who was suffer-
ing from an acute attack of ap-
pendicitis and the patient was
brought to the hospital and operated
on the same evening. No sooner had
the doctor finished the operation than
one OF the nurses at the hospital, Miss
Brennan, was suddenly seized with an
attack OF appendicitis and Dr. Cooney
soon had the nurse ready for an oper-
alton which was performed the same
evening. All the patients are reported
getting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected. On Monday in company with
Father Levings DR.. Cooney went to
Milaca and drove from there to Mile

Senator Morgan of Alabama, who
made heroic efforts TO talk the Pan
anna canal project to death, announces
that he viii abandon the policy of OBJ
struction. He still believes in the su-
periority of the Nicaraguan route, and
sees only a bare possibility of finding
"a key to unlock the barriers that ma
ture has interposed at Panama" But
ne is in favor Of an fnteroceanic ca
nal and in the course of letter to

ton TO visit the isthmus, he writes
IF you should be so fortunate, I will

reasonable authority and power to ac-
complish your task and meet your ire

bic Alabama senator is a broadmind-

The Life Insurance Business.

No one will deny that Richard y.
McCurdy has done as much as any
other one man to bring the life insur-
ance business of the country to its
present estate. We do not mean to its
present scandaIized condition. Mr..
McCurdy in his long connection with
the Mutual Life Introduced new meth
DDS and plans which have been accept
ed and followed by many of the other
great companies until a business grew
UP so gigantic that until recently out
siders had no conception of its size.
Il may be added that they have yet
only a slight conception of its man
agement but they are learning day by
day.
Much as MI McCurdy has done for
the life insurance business and espe-
pecialy for the Mutual he never
claimed. and it was never supposed,
that the Mutual was the especial prop
erty of Mr.. McCurdy or of his heirs
and assigns forever, though some of
his heirs according to the dispatches
of yesterday appear to take that view
of it. Great as was the genius Of Mr.
McCurdy as a life insurance organizer
and manager he could not have sue
ceeded without the cooperation of a
great many other persons. namely
poIicyholders, who ought to have been
considered in connection with the af-
fairs of the company. There is reason
now to believe that the time is near
There is a great deal of unnecessary
alarm and fooIishness throughout the
country over the discoveries which
have grown out of a quarrel between
two officers of the Equitable. It has
not been shown in a single instance
that life insurance is any less safe
than it was supposed to be; that the
companies are not as strong as the
policyhoIders We're led to believe they
were, but on the contrary that they
are great deal stronger than they
ought TO be.
Out of all this investigation which is
going on great good will come, though
