COMPANY q NOTES.

Ernest ii. Sellhorn Sends In a Batch of
News from Camp Lake View.
Company G arrived at camp at o.
m. Monday just before a drenching
rain began to fall, but the cooks, who
had been sent ahead, had good sup
per waiting for the boys and the rain
did not dampen their spirits much.
There was no dress parade on account
of the rain that night and the boys
soon retired. Tuesday morning the
first battalion, consisting of Com
panies G, B, and F, was ordered on
the rifle range and worked hard
there all day. Tuesday afternoon the
battalion was rearranged owing to the
absence of some of the officers and G.
was put in the third battalion with
Captain Galley acting as major, and
the way he rode his bay was a sur
prise to beholders. Lieutenant Sell
horn was in command of the company
and the boys made good appearance
on dress parade that night.
The famous Third regiment band is
better than ever and does it's share
towards making the camp enjoyable.
After dress parade review was ten
dered to General Wood, who expressed
himself we'll pleased. The officers and
men of the Third Minnesota are the
equal of any. and it is an honor to be
member of that regiment.
Company G has a. men in camp at
present and they will be reinforced
soon by another squad from home
who were not able to attend ten days.
Rife practice and drill and guard
duty will keep the boys busy the rest
of the week and there will not be much
time for outside things, but by the
looks of the letter box the boys find
time to write their ladies at home.

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.

Plckerel Kills Duck and Duck Chokes
Pickerel in River Rum.
Among the many fish stories told to
us this week the following is perhaps
the most remarkable-that is of
course if true.
Almost everyone in town knows that
Robert Byers owns the finest flock of
snow-white ducks in Princeton and
that this flock is wont to disport in
the river Rum. On Monday morning,
so goes the story, Ira Stanley, who
was looking out upon the waters and
listening to the warbling of the wild
birds in the bushes, observed duck
standing upon it's head some distance
up stream. This in itself was nothing
unusual, but as the duck continued to
remain in the same position Ira de-
cided to investigate. He procured a
boat and put out upon the river. Ar
irving at the spot where the duck was
standing wrong side up he reached for
the fowl, but to his surprise it seemed
to be anchored-he could not lift it.
Pulling with all his might, however,
he eventually succeeded in raising it
from the water and. to his utter
amazement, he found a pickerel weigh
ing about ten pounds hanging to the
neck of the duck. he managed to lift
duck and fish into the boat, but both
were dead. Upon investigation Ira
discovered that the pickerel had swal-
lowed the ducks head and neck down
to the shoulders. Thus, the only
logical conclusion to be drawn was
that the pickerel had killed the duck
and the duck choked the pickerel.
While an incident of this sort is not
impossible it is, to say the least, un-
usual. ...t.

Improve Main and First Streets.

Considerable work is being done on
the streets, but the principal thor
oughfares and First streets
are being neglected. It matters little
whether the streets in the residence
part of the village are little above or
below grade: no one is seriously incon-
venienced thereby. But it does seem
as if it would be good policy to pay
more attention to the two principal
business streets. A couple of thou
sand cubic yards of gravel or crushed
rock would vastly improve Main and
First streets. We are aware of the
fact that the village is not over-bur-
dened with funds, but a beginning
should be made on the streets that
are most Travelled.
Tt is in no fault-fnding spirit that
the U i n urges the village council
to concentrate its efforts in street i'm
provement on Main and First streets
and the approaches to the East and
West branch bridges. Nine-tenths of
the farmers who transact business in
Princeton are obliged to traverse
these streets, and it is a disgrace that
the main thoroughfares of a village
of Princeton's pretensions should be
practically impossible in wet weather.
If former village councils have neg
lected to improve these main arteries
it is no reason why the present council
should do likewise.

How johnson Clubs Are Organized.


J. c.. Matchitt, the live St. Paul
correspondent of the Duluth News
Tribune, tells how Johnson clubs are
manufactured to order by Mr.. Frank
O'Day and other of the governors APP
pointees:
''Full light has been thrown from
an unexpected source in the matter OF
the organization of the first John
son club at Sandusky, Ohio. The
fact is the club was organized by an
envoy from the governors own cabi-
net, Fred E. Wheaton, surveyor gen.
eral for the Minneapolis district.
1.-THE game wasn't worked cleverly.
The organization of the club was an
nounced by Frank A. Day, the gov
ernor's private secretary and chief
political engineer, to several newspa-
per men who had gathered IN his
Office. The fact that the news came
from source SO close to the governor
aroused some suspicion, but only a
day or so ago did the truth get out.
If the governor and his friends had
only allowed the story to get to Min
nesota through the Associated Press
or special news correspondence from
the Ohio town, the question of whether
the first Johnson club was a bona
fide affair might never have been
raised. Every one in Minnesota
might have swallowed the desired be-
lief that the fame of Minnesota's gov
ernor was so great in such distant
state as Ohio that the Johnson club
really originated as spontaneously
and genuinely as did the first Roose-
welt club in St. Paul.
1.-The fact that Wheaton went to
Washington short time ago is we'll
known, for interviews with him ap-
peared in various papers in number
OF different cities in Minnesota and
elsewhere. 1t is perhaps worthy of
remark in passing that these inter-
views were all word for word the same
in each paper-all laudatory of John
A. johnson as a presidential posi-
bility. But the fact is not known out
side of select few that Wheaton
stopped off at Sandusky, Ohio, for a
short visit. That Sandusky is the ma
tive town of said Wheaton, where he
is as popular, we'll known and es-
teemed as he is in Minneapolis-he
being an exception to the rule that "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own country And, finally, that
with this 'pull' at Sandusky, Wheaton
got very busy in short time and was
the 'spontaneousness' behind the or
ganization- of the first Johnson
club.''' -

A Prosperous Farmers Creamery.

'You can say that the Farmers
Cooperative creamery of Milaca
made more butter the first week it was
operated than any other farmers
creamery in the United States, ",said
Buttermaker Andrew Larson to the
Times yesterday. ''We turned out 1O2
tubs of 63 pounds each, making total
of 6,426 pounds of butter for the first
week of the new plant.'' Mr.. Larson
also remarked that the overrun is
more than paying the expenses of
operation, and that the few remaining
shares of stock are being rapidly
taken up by farmers who now see that
the plant is a good thing.-Milaca

Andrew Bulls Launches His Catamaran.
Andrew Bulls launched his new
catamaran on Sunday. Those who
accompanied Captain Bulls on the
maiden trip we're George Coates,
Hiram Bulls and George Staples.
The boat is unsuitable and floats like
a cork upon the surface of the water,
but the weather-beaten skipper on Sun
day night found her unmanageable
when white squall from the north
northeast struck her amidships and
dipped her mainsail in the deep.
Fortunately but a moment elapsed be-
fore she righted herself, and the serv-
ices of Mr.. Pratt, who observed the
tip-up from the shore and fastened to
the rescue in his launch, we're not
found necessary: Upon reaching
land, however, the boys tried to bride
Mr.. Pratt into keeping the incident
secret by introducing him to an orig
inal package which they dug up from
the recesses of a gunnysack.

Notice to school Boards.

There is still an unexpended bal.
ance for libraries in the fund at St.

should do so before August l, 1907.
The numbers below have not received
aid this year: l, 7, 8, Ii, Is, %, %,
27, 30, 10.
Why not send in? Remember that
the state pays from $40 to $40 toward
buying books for your libraries.

Letter From Canada,

A letter has reached this Office from
c. E. Brande, who is travelling in
Manitoba and other Canadian prov
inces, but the communication is too
long for reproduction. Mr.. Brande
gives general description of the
country through which he has passed,
but such description would be of no
interest to the Unions readers.
Minnesota, with it's woods, it's streams
and it's productive soil, possesses far
greater attractiveness to the home
seeker than the treeless plains of the
Canadian northwest the soil of which
is good only for the production OF
two crops-wheat and thistles.

OPENS ON july FIRST
princeton Summer School, With an
rs Able Corps of Instructors, Be-
gins on Above Date.
IeacherS Should Embrace Opportunity
to Advance Themselves in the
Important Branches.

The summer school will open on
Monday, July l, at the high school
building, Princeton, and will close on
July p. All teachers who can pos
s1bly attend should be there, whether
from Mile Laos or any adjoining
county. All are welcome.
The faculty selected is the most
able that could be procured. Individ-
ually its members are masters in the
departments over which they will
preside.
Embrace this opportunity of ad-
vancing yourselves in the many de-
partments of educational work. The
summer school is the greatest aid to
this advancement that has ever been
introduced and the expense to those
attending is very small.
TO keep abreast of the times and
meet the demands of this era of pro-
erosion it is necessary that teachers
avail themselves of every opportunity
to so do, and the summer school meets
this demand. Attend the summer
scnool and you will there gather new
and useful ideas-the latest ideas that
are being promulgated and advocated
by the best instructors in the United
States.
School boards are alive to the fact
that the best teachers are those who
have attended the summer schools,
and when. selecting their teachers in
variably ascertain whether they have
attended such schools. The work this
year in the summer school will be just
such as will assist you in securing
state certificates.
County Superintendent Ewing, who
is one of the best posted men on sum-
mer school work in the northwest,
says that the teachers who attend this
description of school are invariably
ahead in general scholastic ability of
those who fail to attend.
Il is to the advantage of the teacher
to attend the summer school.

Deplorable Condition of Road

The road across the fats south OF
town is in a deplorable condition for
distance of about a mile and in
places it is almost impossible. There
are chuck holes and ruts on this piece
OF road varying in depth from six to
eighteen inches. "A split log drag
pulled over this road occasionally
would remove these dangerous holes,
and no reason seems to exist why this
should not be done. If the road is
not repaired the postofice department
will certainly discontinue the rural
route which runs over it.
