The square mile homestead idea is
dead but there is no limit to their in
genpnlty and there is no safety for the
public lands except in the eternal
vigilance" of those who demand that
they shall be saved for the homemaker
as PRESIDENT Roosevelt declared in his
second message to congress when he
said:
so far as they are available for
agriculture and to whatever extent
they may be reclaimed under the ma
tlonal irrigation law the remaining
public lands should be held rigidly
for the home-builder the settler who
lives on his land and for no one else.
In their actual use the desert land
law, the timber and stone law and the
communication clause of the homestead
law have been SO perverted from the
Intention with which they were enacted
as to permit the acquisition of large
areas of the public domain for other
than actual settlers and the conse-
quent prevention of settlement. D

Senator Barker introduced bill

In the house Representative Mark

Will Get Small Sum From an Estate.


Mrs. r. E. Hill, mother of County
Auditor Whitney, has received notice
from the surrogate court in the City of
Rochester, n. Y, which would indi-
cate that she will fall heir to a nice
little nest egg in the shape of one
third OF seven-tenths interest in the
Fcesldue OF the estate Of Sara Mp.
Ellis, wife Of the late S. A. Ellis.
brother of Mrs. Hill who died several
years ago and who left a rather CON-
plicated will. There was one grand
son as direct heir and he is willed
the sum of 10000, and in the event
of his death 5000 Of the amount left
him must go to the residuary legatees.
There is little doubt, however, if Mrs.
Hill ever participates in this conting-
ency of the will as she is now quite
old, and with her husband lives near
Silver lake. It is estimated that her
part Of the estate will amount to,
about 81, POO. County Auditor Whit
ney wrote to the surrogate court for
particulars and he was directed to
write to the attorneys of the Roches-
ter Trust and Safety Deposit Co. the
executors of the estate. Mr.. Whitney
did SO and received letter giving the
information desired.

a motion that the rate for lights be
increased from ten cents to twelve and
half cents per killowatt and
this motion was seconded by Mr..
Galley and it carried, Recorder Bor-
den voting against the motion. AS
soon as the council had raised the
rate for it's very excellent electric light
service, Trustee Chapman then moved
that the all-night service be inaugu-
rated, and there was no objection. A
bill of SIS was presented by Alpheus
Howard for nursing Alphonso How
ard during case of small pox, but
the council failed to catch on and
referred the bill to the committee on
chicken pox. No case of small pox
was ever reported as existing at the
Howard residence, nor was there ever
a small pox quarantine card placed
on the house. -.
Trustee Chapman was authorized to
hire surveyor to run the lines on
Western avenue and ascertain the
status OF the street frontage on that
avenue with view of establishing a
uniform street frontage. A report will
be made at the next meeting of the
council which will be held on the reg
ular meeting night, which will occur
next Monday.

Sheriff Shockley brought Andrew
Billings down from Mora last Thurs
day, to answer to a charge of stealing
a watch from the home of Mike Kenely

an opportunity presented itself he pur-
Joined the time piece and brought it
to Princeton where he disposed of it
to Herman Cline for So.
Billings had been employed at e..
'. Millions camp last winter. After
dispOsing Of the watch he went to
Milaca and Mora. AS soon as the
warrant was sworn out Deputy Sheriff
VIM. Trumble of Milaca began look

RESCUED FROM A MAD HOUSE.

"A SAsCer OF the Late ELI JAN Clark Has an
Exciting Experience In Nebraska.
Eliza beth Clark, sister of Elijah
Clark who died in Princeton this
weeR, was brought from Nebraska a
few weeks ago by her sister Della who
went to Lincoln in that state and res
cued her sister from an insane asylum
to which institution she had been
committed through the efforts of
mas in that city who rented some
PROPERTY which she had there and who,
surprising that the aged woman was
without relatives or friends, conceived
the qiabolical plot of having her de-
clarAd insane and sent to an insane
aysham where she might end her days
and an the meantime the Lincoln viii
lianfn collision perhaps with an at
torney and physicians and officials (?)
had secured possession to the prop
ertyaof the woman. A certain law
yer Sn Lincoln who kenw that the
woman had sister living in Prince
ton wrote her, the letter not being
just as explicit as the Princeton sis
ter desired and she rather suspected
thatsomething was wrong down there
and Started to look into matters. To
her establishment when she arrived at
Lincoln she found that her sister was
in an insane asylum and that plot

lawyer and soon had her sister re-
leased from her living tomb and then
turned the Lincoln rascals out. She
did not have the time to remain and
prosecute the Lincoln villains who
should be made to suffer for their in
human deeds and thieving plots.

NIr. JOhnsOn's Turn Now.

After all the fuss and furry of the
late bank examiner and his political
prompters-a period of froth and fume
that had it's beginning months before
the fight for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination was inaugurated-
it appears that the labors of the John
son mountain have brought forth a
mouse. A ridiculous mouse, the fable
has it, and the adjective is not far
wrong in this case.
S. T. Johnson has closed his case
before the legislative investigating
committee. It is apparent that he
had no case at all. The object of the
investigation was to determine whether
there had been malfeasance or mis-
feasance in Office on the part of Mr..
Dunn, the man against whom Mr..
Johnson's Investigations we're aimed,
or Mr.. Iverson, who has succeeded
Mr.. Dunn.
By Mr.. Johnson's own testimony it
appears that the State never had lost
cent by the official acts of Mr.. Dunn,
to which acts Mr.. johnson devoted
months Of time that might have been
spent to advantage in the performance
Of his own official duties,
Instead of losing a large sum Of
money the State was really the gamer
by Mr.. Dunn's exercise of common
sense and insistence upon the practice
of common honesty. If he went be-
yond the technical requirements of
his Office, he did SO for the benefit of
the State.
Now that the auditors Office has
been Investigated, the conduct of the
late public examiner is to be looked
into. If he wasted the time for which
he was handsomely paid by the State
in the preparation of campaign mate
rial, the taxpayers have a right to
know it. If he exceeded his official
authority in this piece of partisan
work, a demonstration of that fact
will be good thing for the guidance

Van SAINTS Lying Jackal.

The exonoration of Robert G.. Dunn
OF all dishonesty in the conduct of the
State auditors Office is a good deal
like finding a man innocent after he
has been hanged. The legislative com
mittee which has made an exhaustive
investigation of the public examiners
charges has found that the affairs of
the ex-State auditor were honestly
and capab bly, managed. While it is too
late to undo the wrongs of the past
campaign, there is considerable salts
faction in knowing that the charges
were untrue, like all other charges

Milo Town Board Effects a s

Milo Town Board Effects a Settlement.
At a special meeting of the Milo
town board last Saturday a satisfac-
tory settlement and adjustment of the
shortage of the former town treasurer
was made. The total shortage was
found to be 1,40O. Already 5000 had
been raised by the bondsmen and Mr..
Stanchfield paid over to the town the
sum of $3.50 which made 81, $50 and he
then gave the town his personal note
for $3.50 which was accepted.
Had the matter been disposed of prop
erly former bondsmen of Mr.. Stanch-
field could have been made to pay the
amount of the shortage which the
books would reveal for the time which
former bondsmen were liable. It is
said that the shortage the first year
amounted to about $500, the second
year, 1908, it amounted to about $500.
Those who went on Mr.. Stanchfeld' IS
bond for those years would be liable
for what loss the town sustained dur
ing that time.

"HONEST" JOHN LIND.
He Voted for the Square Mile Homestea
Bill in CONGRESS-

He Voted for the Square Mile Homestead
Bill in Congress.
Ii anything were needed to prove
the necessity for the maintenance of a
strong national organization to offset
the political power Of western land
grabbers and Illustrate their schemes
the evidence of such necessity was
furnished by the extraordinary action
of the house of representatives in
passing the square mile homestead
bills in the last sessions of congress
in the face of the official condemnation
OF those bills. They were condemned
by the secretary of the interior, con-
demned by the commissioner of the
general land Office and condemned by
the president's public lands commits
sion in their report which was trans
mitted to congress on Feb. - by
President Roosevelt with message
of unqualified approval. Notwith-
standing all this both the Colorado
and South Dakota square mile home
stead bills were railroaded through
the house of representatives opposi-
ton being shut off in the middle of
the debate by demand for the pre-
vious question. The friends of ma
tional irrigation and of the agricul-
tural development and close settle
ment OF the west concentrated their
strength in opposition to these bills
in the senate and both bills were
beaten there. The National Irriga-
ton association made the influence of
its members felt in opposition to these
land-grabbing bills and aided to in
sure their defeat.

Village Council Meets.

The village council met last Mon
day, little out of the ordinary SEIZED
ule, but the council had not met for
some time, and there was perhaps a
call for some past due claims against
the village.
The council disposed of several mat
tiers. 1t voted to appropriate the sum
of $3.50 on the village road leading to
the new bridge in the south part OF
town, and allowed S45 to the fire de-
partment for attending fires. The de-
partment brought in a claim for a
much larger amount, but it was stated
that many of the fires which had been
charged up in the bill had occurred
before the council had voted to allow
the fire department $40 for each fire.
It was voted to replank both of the
bridges in the village the coming sum-
mer. Ben Soule was appointed street

fifty citizens asking for an all-night
