Bought Land Ten years Ago.

J. P. Anderson Of Minneapolis, was
in Princeton last Monday, having
been up looking over eighty acres of
land in Bogus Brook which he purs
chased ten years ago. His visit was
a reminder of the rapidly in which
this county is being improved and
settled up. Ten years ago the town
of Bogus Brook was almost wilder
ness, very few settlers being found
within it's borders. Now the town has
very little vacant land and is we'll
provided with roads, schools and
churches. Mr.. Anderson considers
his land worth at least three times
what he paid for it and he does not
want to- sell even at that. The new
bridge which will be built across the
river on section sixteen will be ONLY
three-quarters of a mile west of his
land and he thinks this will further
enhance it's value. AS a means of
keeping informed on the events in
Mile Laos county he paid a years
subscription to the Union and left
on the morning train for home.

The Meteor Seemed Near.
Two weeks ago those who wei

Two weeks ago those who were out
late in the evening reported having
seen a meteor of unusual size, which
made a bright light and was thought
to have fallen two or three miles east
of Princeton. It was seen in St. Cloud
and the students made a search east
of that place, expecting to find it..
That the meteor will not be found very
near to Princeton is evident from an
item in a Wadena paper which says:
"Reports say that the heavenly trav-
eler was pursuing course almost
parallel with the earth and very low
in the sky. It appeared like an enor-
nous ball of red fire, and seemed, so
it is said, about the size of the moon
when at it's full. It was followed by
the usual luminous tail and appeared
to have struck the earth but a little
distance from here. -

That Bridge Appropriation.

The unofficial report of the places
at which the 81, road and bridge
appropriation is to be expended and
the amount available for each place,
was not entirely correct according
to the printed copy of the law which
names the following amounts and
places: Bridge on section 16, Bogus
Brook, $500: bridge on section 3,
town OF Princeton, 500; bridge south
east of village of Princeton. $500;
roads in town of Onamia, 500; bridge
between sections 2, town of Milaca
and 30, town of Page, 800. The law
has fixed these amounts and they can
not be changed.

Beltrami officials Removed.

F. Q. Sibley and Wesley Wright,
members of the board of county COM
missioners of Beltrami county, were
removed from Office on May 25. These
commissioners are accused of allow
ing and paying unlawful, excessive
and fraudulent bills against the county;
OF letting the printing contract to the
highest bidder, and of allowing bills
for this printing when it was apparent
that they were excessive and their pay
ment amounted to a willful misappro-
priation of public funds. The COM
missioners were guilty, also, of re-
fusing or neglecting to collect lawful
claims on behalf of the county and
bills were ordered paid where the in
dividual commissioners were the chief
parties of interest.

Could leu Some Things.

A neighboring newspaper man who
has evidently been hearing things said
about him, came back as follows:
Suppose the newspaper man, every
time he hears any one criticise him or
his paper, should retaliate by hold
ing up to the public gaze all the faults
and shortcomings of said fault-fnder,
what would be the result? The editor
may not know it all, but he does
not live long in community before
he knows a darned sight more than
he publishes.

Lewis and Clark Exposition.

It is noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky mountains which has secured
the aid of the government.
And it is also surprising what an
interest is manifested in the exposition
by the people of the east. They see
in the exposition an opportunity to
visit the western country at greatly
reduced expenditure of money, and
not only see the exposition itself, but
view the wonders of our western seen
cry, and witness the great resources
OF the northwest and the opportunities
afforded. The Great Northern Rail-
way passenger department. has been
hooded with inquiries as to the expo
sition, and it augurs well for big
travel through the northwest this year.

OUR COUNTY BONDS,
Another Year Will see the Last of
the Old Railroad Bonds Paid
and Cancelled.
Principal and Interest Will no Longer
add to the Burden of Taxa
ton in This County.

Mile Laos county will soon be re-
leased from the burden of heavy
bonds. The court house and railroad
bonds have added greatly to the taxes
during the past nineteen years but in
another year it will owe but little.
The court house bonds have been paid
and there remains only the railroad
and funding bonds. On the 18th of
April 1886, the county issued it's bonds
for $4,000, at five per cent interest.
payable in twenty years. In 1898
through the efforts of the county com
missioners ST., 900 of these bonds were
paid and interest stopped. By max
ing this payment the county saved the
difference between the amount which
would have been drawn on the deposit
in bank and the five per cent paid
on the bonds, probably about $4,000.
There remains thirty thousand dol
lars to be paid, which is due in July
1906. There is now in the sinking
fund $29, 261.36 which leaves less than
$500 to be raised for this purpose.
Then at the end Of another year the
county will owe nothing except the
$40, 900 funding bonds issued in 1899
for the purpose of clearing off it's in
debtedness other than the railroad
bonds. There is now in the sinking
fund for these bonds So, 724.75 These
bonds are due as follows: $1,000 in
1906; $1,000 in 1907; $1,000 in 1908;
$4,000 in 1909 and SO, 900 in 1910. The
railroad and court house bonds ag-
gregate $4,000 and interest for which
extra taxes have been levied, but there
are few, if any, men in the county who
will not say that it has been good
investment. At the time the railroad
bonds were voted there were not half
dozen houses between John Boyn's
farm, one mile north of town, and
Milaca. Now there are hardly half
dozen forties between the two places
which are not improved. Without the
railroad that section would have been
a wilderness still. The road came
high, but it was worth the price.

Foreign Immigration.

That crisis in immigration mat
tiers in this country is drawing near is
made evident by the late exposures of
the United States immigration agent
who has been making a thorough in
vestigation of methods employed by
foreign countries to unload their UNI
desirable population. The disclosures
made have caused alarm among the
officials of European countries and
in order to stem the tide of adverse
sentiment here a charge has been
made against the agent and he has
been put under arrest. The following
dispatch to the Pioneer Press is an
eye-opener:
1.-The arrest of Marcus Braun, the
secret United States immigration
agent in Budapest, is giving the Off
cials of the State department no little
concern. The case is developing fea-
lures Of grave International import
ance.
The State department. has been
made aware that the arrest of Braun
is but the elimination of long series
of antagonistic operations in which he
was trailed over the continent for
months by spies acting in the inter-
ests Of several foreign governments,
which make a practice of flooding the
United States with the criminal popu-
lation Of Europe.
During the last fiscal year unde-
sirable immigrants arrived at the rate
OF two minute ousands of crimi-
mails, dissolute women and infested
baggage.
Braun entered his rooms in the
Hungarian Hof in Budapest on the
10th of last April and discovered q
Hungarian detective tampering with
his mail. Naturally there was a fight,
Braun endeayoring to protect the
sanctity of his personal property, and
the detective trying to do what he was

The FOleyS Buy Land.

John Foley of this city. who has
been to Mississippi recently, looking
after some land which the firm of
Foley Brothers purchased there, re-
turned home last Friday.
Mr.. Foley says that the firm has
purchased about 100000 acres of timber
land in the vicinity of Jackson and
is thinking of buying another large
tract. He says that land contains the
finest stand of yellow pine he has ever
seen, besides a large quantity of cy-
press, white oak and hickory The
firm has under advisement the build
ing of a saw mill there for the purpose
OF manufacturing the timber into lum-
Der. AS yet no definite arrangements
are made as to this, but Mr.. Foley
said that it would take years to cut all
the timber, if the mill run summer and
winter.
Mr.. Foley said in that locality the
climate is especially good, and never
gets as hot there as it does here in
the summer time, but is a very even
temperature. He looks for a great
future for that section in the lumber
business and predicts that it will be
taking the place of the northern states.

What Is Sometimes Eaten.

The State law against selling adul-
terated foods without being properly
labelled is proving very good thing,
as in several instances articles ana
lyzed have been found to contain in
gradients injurious to health. Coal
tar dye has been found in some pre-
serves and many samples of jams and
jellies contained very little, if any,
fruit juice.
Fruit jams and preserves in order
to be sold as pure must consist wholly
of pure fruit and granulated sugar.

Will There be too Much Gold?

The Minneapolis Tribune thinks the
world is producing more gold than we
can use as money and that the arts
will come. to the rescue. The Trib-
une's ideas are outlined as follows:
Are we going to have a gold ques-
ton, like the silver question Of few
years ago? IF the enormous over
production of silver untitled it for use
as the standard of value, should not
a still greater production of gold unfit
it in the same way:
"We have put off the evil day by
eliminating silver as a money metal
all over the world. so that the stand
ard of value is kept reasonably steady
by giving one metal the work done by
both before the amount of both was
so enormously increased. But if the
present annual production of gold is
to continue indefinitely, this relief will
be only temporary.
"The standard and relation of val
ues were wrenched all out of shape by
the simultaneous California and Aus
tralia gold discoveries. But the aver
age gold production of those fat years
was less than half the average of the
last ten. Since the sBoer war ended,
the annual yield of gold is increasing
$50, 00o,O 900 a year, or as much as the
average product of five years in the
first half of the century.
"The director of the mint estimates
the worlds production of gold for 400
years at $4,000, 900, 900, half of which
was added to the money supply. In
the last dozen years the production
has been over $4,000, 900, 900, or one
third as much as in the whole four
hundred years. Now it is increasing
at the rate of $500, 900, 600 year. If
the worlds amount of gold money
was 81, 500, 100000 at the end of the
century, it should be 5000, 600, 900 by
the end of this year..
''People are asking how far present
high prices and somewhat feverish
prosperity are due to overproduction
of gold, and whether a painful reac-
ton of any kind iscoming. Of course,
it is to be considered that the increase
of trade and industry makes work. for
an increased volume of money and
that increase of luxury may cause a
larger proportion of the whole gold
supply to be used in the arts. ,;

Can Princeton Beat This:

The Minneapolis Tribune says: "a
ninety nile run was made over rough
roads on May 81, in about six hours
by Dr.. Edwin Murray, of Minneap-
oils, and his friend, DR.. Fields of
Omaha, in a fourteen-horse power
Ford car.

Minneapolis by way of Annandale.
The start was made about O 'clock in
the morning and the party arrived in
Minneapolis fifteen minutes after 2
O'Clock.

were so rough that it was impossible
to make even fair time. At times the
car made as high as thirty miles on
