You can stand dollar on end upon

sufficiently to affect the most sensitive

will perceive that it emits no sparks

reason is that it's brushes are manu-

Isn't it beauty? I have estimated
that can run that boiler with one
third the quantity of fuel that the old
one consumed and that in two, or AT

new equipment will pay for itself in
the saving of coal. And have YOU

NEW POWER PLANT
Superintendent Frank Burbank Points

Says Equipment is SmOothest Combs

That Superintendent Burbank is
highly elated over the new acquisition

from the smile which of late refuses to

A MODEL RESIDENCE
New Home of rlr. and Hrs. j. j. Skahen
One of the Best Constructed
Houses in Princeton.
rlany Original Designs Enter Into the
General Plan of This Finely
Arranged Structure.

Among other attractive and modern
residences which have recently been
erected and are in course of construc-
ton in Princeton the home into which
Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Skahen moved but
a few weeks ago is worthy of mention.
1t is neither at the solicitation of Mr..
and Mrs. Skahen nor that of the con-
tractor, Mr.. Gumbrill, that this brief
write-up is produced, but merely to
show that Princeton is keeping abreast
OF the times in the construction of
residences.
This modern building was erected
from plans constructed after the orig
inal ideas of Mr.. and Mrs. Skahen by
Downs & Eads, architects, A1inneap-
oils, and the contractor was Alfred
Gumbrill of .Anoka. The superinten-
dent of construction was w. G. Taylor
OF Minneapolis and the painter and

every modern convenience is located,
in dull-fnished oak. The china closet
and sideboard, in the dining room,
are built into the wall, that is, they
are virtually part of the house
proper. This obviates the utilization
of considerable space which would be
necessary with the old style of fur
nishing. The floors of the hall, living
room and dining room are of birch,
while the principal outer doors of the
house are of quarter-sawed oak. The
inner doors consist largely of heavy
plate glass and oak.
The library, Mr.. Skahen's "den, -
as he calls it, is magni6ciently fin
ished in mahogany, and a splendid
bookcase, built into the wall, adorns
this pleasant room.
The kitchen has an up-to-date
range, an expansion tank of 40 gal
Ions capacity, a refrigerator set in
the wall with a door for filing from
the outside, and all other modern
requisites. The walls are covered
with white tiling to the height of six
feet from the ground and above that
they are painted. The floor of the
kitchen is of maple and the doors
leading thereto are of natural pine
finish,
The staircase is of oak and is con-
structed along lines entirely original.

THE POTATO MARKET
Continued Weakness Prevails Locally
But Receipts at Warehouses
Average Fairly Well.
Potatoes From This Point SHIPPED to
California and Other States
in Western Country.

"A continued weakness prevails in
the local market and at this time,
Wednesday evening, there are indica
lions OF further decline in price. An
active movement from the growers to
the warehouses has continued through
out the week despite the low prices
paid, and the shipments. to towns in
Illinois and Kansas have averaged I'M
fairly we'll with those of other weeks.
A quantity of potatoes has also been
shipped to California, and it is safe to
say that other shipments to the same
state will follow, for wherever Mime
sofa potatoes of the quality grown
hereabouts are introduced a further
demand is certain to result.
Rumors of combine among Prince
ton potato buyers were afoat early in
the week, but a careful investigation
has brought forth no evidence which
substantiates the report. But whether
a combine exists or not, the prices paid
farmers of this locality at the present
time is no encouragement for them
to grow potatoes for the market. If
prices continue at the low notch now
prevailing farmers will next year
plant a much smaller acreage to pota-
toes. And no one can blame them,
The foreign markets, -Kansas City,
Chicago, ETC.. according TO produce
Journals, are overstocked with inferior
grades of potatoes -potatoes that are
scabby and frosted-which are being
thrown on the market in bulk, and the
commission men are putting forth
efforts to clear up this low-grade stock
to the detriment of the superior quail
ties such as the potatoes furnished by
Minnesota.

Lester Dorm Discovered by His Parents to
be Missing From Home.
On Monday morning when Mr.. and
Mrs. S. E. Dorm, who reside about a
mile and a half north of the village,
arose from bed they discovered that
their son Lester, ID years of age, had
disappeared during the night and left
note upon the table reading as fol-
lows: "Good bye, don't look for me.
all gone"
A search for the missing boy was
Immediately instituted in the neighbour
hood. but no trace of him could be OBJ
tanned and Sheriff Shockley was mott
fed. The sheriff drove about the
country for considerable time, visit
ing the farm houses, and at last Sc

reached the farm of Amos Freel in the
town of Bogus Brook and there as
certained that young Dorm had been
there and told a story of someone
having been lost while hunting. There
upon Mr.. Freel sent one of his sons
with Lester into the woods to look for
the missing hunter, and Sheriff Shock
ley having located the boy, returned
to Princeton and informed his parents.
Lester was brought back on Tuesday.
Mr.. Dorm can assign no cause for
his sons actions. He says that on
Sunday night the boy and the other
children. with himself and wife, sat
around the stove eating popcorn and
that Lester seemed to be in happy
frame of mind. The boy had always
been treated we'll and had never shown
any Indication of discomfort, neither
was he inclined to be of a rowing dis
position.

Profigates and lunatics mingle with
one another freely on the august
benches of the upper house. The only
person who is disqualified from sitting
among the peers is the undischarged
bankrupt-a this is by virtue of the
special act of parliament which de-
bars the legally declared insolvent
from sitting in the house of commons.
Otherwise all sorts of condition of
men may sit among my lords-boys
who have just attained their majority,
senile dodderers who walk into the
house on crutches, dull-witted crea-
lures who derive their knowledge of
life from the music-hal]s and sporting
clubs, and sharp-witted insolvents
who lend their titles to fraudulent
prospectuses. Now and then you may
find passable specimen of British
manhood among them; but taking
them in the bulk, they are as choice a

Thrown Into Ditch.

John Dalchow came into town with
load OF wood on Monday and on his
way home, when near the East Branch
bridge, the colts attached to the sled
became frolicsome and ran away.
Overturning the vehicle into ditch
they broke loose and galloped off, but
were captured by farmer coming in
the opposite direction. Mr.. Dalchow
fortunately received only slight
bruises on shoulder and hip. The
colts are splendid animals, but, like
the small boy, life to them without an
occasional frolic would not be worth
living.

decorator Chas. Fitch of Auoka, while
the heating plant was supplied by the
Hasey company of Minneapolis and
the plumbing work executed by Arch
ambo & Co. of the same city. The
foremen in charge of the heating and
plumbing were, respectively, Pat
Conner of Minneapolis and w. F. Slat-
err of Anoka. The Warner company of
Minneapolis furnished the hardware.
From basement to attic the residence
is splendidly arranged and equipped
and many original schemes are incor-
porated into it's construction.
Starting at the basement we find a
laundry with hot and cold water at
command, drying room, spacious
vegetable department, the heating
plant and the coal and wood bins.
The floor of the basement is of cement
and is as smooth as polished stone.
On the first floor is a capacious
hall, a living room, dining room,
library and Kitchen, each being furn-
ished in the most modern style. The
living room possesses one feature of
especial attractiveness- fireplace.
This fireplace is built in the form of a
semicircie from reddish-coloredg glazed
brick with an ornamental variety of
similar material running around the
opening. Over the fireplace is pol
ished slab of red marble. The brick
for this fireplace was made to order
in Philadelphia and Mr.. Gumbrill
set them in position. The mortar
work is double-pointed and is mas
terpiece in mechanical art. Upon each
side of the fireplace polished oak seats
are placed. There are also seats of a
like nature at the bottom of the stair
way in the hall. The living room
and hall are finished in light polished
oak and the dining room, in which

spacious porch extending along the
south and west sides the house pre-

A commodious barn has also beer
erected by Mr.. Skahen-a barn which
in it's designs is equally as original as

necessary to acquire the two lots ani
