MILFORD HATCH PASSES BEYOND.

After an Illness of Two Months He Sue

Milford Hatch died at the home of
his father in north Princeton on Tues
day, April II, at $3.50 p. NJ, from
paralysis of the heart superinduced by
dropsy, aged II years and % days.
Milford was compelled to take to his
bed on February %, and from that
time gradually grew worse until re-
lieved from his sufferings by death.
His father, Elmer E. Hatch, and one
sister survive him. His mother died
in 1897 from the same disease to which
he succumbed. Two brothers and two
sisters also preceded him to the grave.
Milford was young man of many
good qualities and was. j: great
favorite with the young people with
whom he associated His untimely
taking away is heavy blow to his
father and the public sympathy goes

Hon. w. III. Houlton Visits Princeton.
Hon. w. H. Houlton came over from
Elk River Tuesday afternoon and re-
turned home on the II a. m. train
Wednesday. 1t was Mr.. Houlton' s
first visit to Pr injection in eight years,
and he was surprised at the numerous
improvements for the better that had
taken place in that time. He thinks
Princeton is one of the liveliest and
best little towns in the state. Mr..
Houlton has always been friend of
Princeton, and we remember with
gratitude the assistance he gave US in
securing the railroad in 1887. W. H.
Houlton is an all round good citizen
and hustler. He has contributed
more towards the upbuilding of Elk
River than all other agencies COM
bined. Had it not been for Mr..
Houlton's enterprise and business
sagacity that village would hardly
have place on the map today. We
wish men of the w. Fl. Houlton type
were more numerous than they are in
our state.

TEACHERS MEETING AT NIILACA.

The meeting of the Teachers asso-

this be otherwise, or the roads be in
poor condition, the convention will
probably be postponed to some time

training in the public schools.

air in huge devouring tongues. The
watermains had been destroyed by the
earth's upheaval.
Screams from beneath the debris of
the wrecked buildings told too plainly
the story of those who were still alive,
many of whom were pinned beneath or
between heavy timbers and were being
slowly roasted to death.
Here and there squads of men in an
endeavor to check the progress of the
flames blew up buildings with dyna-
mite, but this accomplished but little
toward arresting the immense volume
OF flame in it's devastating rush.
At this time it is impossible to OBJ
tain anything like correct details, but
the estimated loss of life is placed at
1000. This is most conservative
figure.
The fire is still burning in places
and the whole business part of the
city is practically destroyed. Forty
million dollars is the estimated loss
in property, but this amount bids fair
to run into the hundreds of millions
when the full facts are ascertained.
Wagonloads of dead are being taken
from the ruins and thousands of peo-
pie are fleeing on foot from the city.
All means of transportation has been
cutoff. ..-

Earthquake Shocks Which Topple Buildings in Bus
mess Portion of City Followed by Holocaust
Which Leaves Death and Desolation.
Latest Teegraphic Reports Estimate Number of Per-
sons Dead at Over One Thousand and Value
of Property Destroyed $500 900.

At $40 yesterday morning San
Francisco was visited by series of
earthquake shocks which demolished
the business portion of the city and
was felt for miles surrounding. The
ground rocked and rolled like tenn
pestuous sea and the inhabitants,
panic stricken, rushed forth from
their residences in an attempt to save
their lives. The worst effects of the
shock was on lower Market street,
where the buildings were erected on
ground reclaimed from the bay. Here
big buildings swayed to and fro for a
second or two and then came crashing
down into yawning chasms which had
opened in the earth. Death and de-
struction reigned upon all sides. The
big city hall, situated about a mile
and a half from the bay, was RACED to
the ground as were also scores of bic
sky scrapers in the business part of
the city.
Not more than a minute from the
first terrific shock the aspect of the
stricken district was entirely changed.
Fire burst forth from a dozen places
simultaneously, and excepting along
that portion near the bay where fire
plugs were located, there was no pro-
lection from the raging, seething
demon which shot fifty feet into the

tests. He put particular stress on the
necessity of drainage and keeping the
road bed dry. The common harrow,
split log drag and steam roller are all
good for the latter purpose. The ten
ton steam roller is out of the ques-
ton on most country roads even if
the county can afford one, as the
bridges will not carry it. But the
harrow or split log drag will do great
good. Engineer Cooley gives all his
time to good roads work, and it is his
duty, under the act of 1905, to super
wise the roads in the state which re-
ceive state aid and he is DESTROYS of
talking to the people of Princeton and
vicinity about this work. He partic-
ularly wants to meet and talk to the
local overseers of highways. His
remarks we're listened to with the
closest attention by those present and
the applause at the close was spon-
taneous and hearty.
Mr.. j. II. McGilvra read a number
of letters from nonresident land own
ers showing their interest in Mile
Laos county roads and their willing
ness to contribute money toward road
Improvement.
The convention as whole was a
success, and is a move in the light
direction. Mile Laos county has to
depend in the future wholly on farm
ing for it's prosperity. We have no
more numbering. We have no mines
or fisheries. So we must look to the
farming and give all our attention to
that industry. Farming is uphill
work without good roads, and much
land will always be unproductive
without them.

THE MINSTREL SHOW
A High Grade Entertainment Which
Attracted a Large and Well

The Ladies Looked and Acted Well and

Lookln' "Niggers.'' :.

The Great White Minstrel show,
which was put on the boards at Jes-
mer's opera house last Thursday
evening under the auspices of the Con-
gregational church members, attracted
a crowd which taxed the seating ca
pacity of the house to accommodate.
The minstrel part of the program
could scarcely have been better had
the veteran Primrose conducted the
productions 1t was unquestionably
one of the best entertainments ever
given in Princeton. To Mrs. C. "A.
Galley is largely due the&credit for the
perfection of rendition. She arranged
the program-or rather this section of
it-and drilled the "niggers'' night
after night for several weeks until
they were thoroughly familiar with
their parts.
Where all acted their parts SO we'll
it would be invidious to mention
mes-in fact the actors were so we'll
disguised that the reporter could not
with any degree of accuracy make
personal mention of but few out of
the forty or more participants. The
singing by the ladies' quartet was es-
pecially fine, and the male quartet's
rendition of ''I'se Gwine Back to
Dixie" and sHear Dem Bells'' was
rapturously applauded. Several
solos by ladies and gentlemen of the
troupe were excellently rendered and
we'll received by the audience. The
cake walk was executed in a manner
that would have done credit to pro-
fessionals. But best of all was the
drill by the six cute little pickanninies
representing sunfiowers. Right vigor-
ously were the little ones applauded
and encored. Miss Huse certainly
has reason to feel proud of her pupils.
The last part of the program drag

But the audience already had more
than their moneys worth.

lived in peace. But there comes a
day when dark tragedy envelopes us.
We are caught up by it's power, and
then we know what it means to bear
the cross with Christ and accompany
him to Calvary. We are introduced
to the Holy of Holes, for we become
companions of Jesus in the "Sorrow-
full Way
Before we have marched along on
the outskirts of life, we are brought
into the secret place where Jesus
traveleth with his companions along
the path of sorrow.
There is Galilee in your life and
mine. There we may hold sweet COM
munion with Christ, learn patience,
dream our dreams of bliss, and Law
the foundation of spiritual life. We
love the peace and the quiet of our
SOULS Galilee.
And so sure as we traverse life's
highway with Jesus, doing good; so
sure as we enter into the fullness of
the meaning of his experience as he
agonized in Gethsemane; so sure as
we know the travail of his soul as he
hung on the cross of Calvary; Just so
sure shall it be true in our lives, as it
was in the lives of the disciples, we
shall meet our Christ in the place of
so many hallowed memories: in our
SOULS peaceful Galilee.
In the experience of the disciples
Galilee was the place of sacred rela-
tions, of blessed memory.
There is therefore no touch of
greater truthfulness in the whole
Gospel than just this intuitive move
ment of these men bereft: "We must
get back to Galilee.'' There is no
more profound and illuminating dec
laration, or one worthier to be put on
the lips of angels than this one: HE
goeth before you into Galilee.' No
word was ever more in accord with
the sacred nature of things. No trait
OF the narrative is more suggestive or
prophetic of the nature and condition
OF a renewed and deepened life in
Christ for you and me.
1t may be clear that Christ is now
calling US back to the quiet of COM
munion in our Galilee. It is thither
that he bids us go. It is there that
he will be found going before US, or
else not found at all. It is there that
we shall behold him, or else not see
him at all.
We have cause for our Easter rejoic-
ing, for the. crucifed Christ has be-
come the supreme reality of human
life. He consoles, uplifts, guides,
and saves. He is living presence so
long as we seek him in the appointed
place of meeting.

AN INDEPENDENT DISTRICT.

Everybody in Favor of It-A Meeting
Should be Called and the Change Eff
fected Without Unnecessary Delay.
Everybody seems 10 be in favor of
an independent school district. We
have not heard of a single objector.
Then, why not go ahead, call meet

an independent district, elect officers
and perfect the organization without
unnecessary delay. In the next issue
OF the U nj we hope to be able to
announce that the date for the meet
ing of the voters to vote on the propo-
sition of forming an independent
school district has been definitely
fixed. We have nothing to lose and
much to gain by making the change.
Now is the time to act.

Sinclair's undertaking stories about
the Chicago packers, which were dis
credited at the White House, do not
seem to have been so far wrong after
all. Neil and Reynolds, appointed by
the president to make a special in
vestigation of packing house condi-
tons and methods, have made a report
that outdoes the magazine articles Of
Sinclair for undertaking. The inevt-
able conclusion is that the packing
houses are little better than Augean
stables and that it is time the muck
should be raked or washed out, even
if the drainage canal must be brought
into play for this work.

lAPLANDER STYLES.
They Haven't Changed Any In the
Last Thousand Years.

They Haven't Changed Any In the
Last Thousand Years.
There is one corner in the world
where the fashions Of the people have
remained the same for the last thou
sand years. The Lapp lady is not con-
cerned about the latest toque from
Paris nor is she subject to that soul
narrowing experience, the bargain
counter crush. However, she may
properly lay claim to having been the
original bloomer girl, for the neither
garment worn by her today is of the
same design as that worn by her an
cestors Of a thousand years ago.
The summer garment of the Lapland-.
er is usually of coarse wooden goods
and has something the cut Of a shirt
with a high collar. Among the sea
Lapps it is for the most part undyed.
Among the other Lapps usually blue,
sometimes green or brown and even
black smOck frocks have been seen.
Round the Wristbands, along the
smOck is ornamented with strips OF
red and yellow cloth. Under this gar
ment is a similar one, either plain or
figured, worn next to the body, for the
Lapp never wears linen underclothing
The trousers are Of white wooden
goods, rather narrow and reaching to
the ankles, where they are tied inside
the shoes with long slender shoestrings.
Over these drawers are usually worn
leggings of thin. tanned skins, reach
ing from the ankles to the knees.
Stockings the Lapp never wears. He
fills the upper curving tip Of his shoes
with sort of grass, which is gathered
in summer and beaten to make it soft
and pliable The winter costume only
differs from that worn in summer in
that every piece is made Of reindeer
skin with the hair on.
The dress of the women differs very
slightly from that worn by the men.
The smock is somewhat longer and is
made without the big standing collar,
instead of which kerchief or cap Is
worn about the neck. To the woven
and often silver ornamented girdle
hang a knife, scissors, key, needle and
thread. The head covering Is not only
different In the two sexes, but also
differs according to the locality.
