New Lumber Company for Onamia.


Among the first important industries
to locate at Onamia is the Onamia
Lumber and Mercantile company,
which was organized at Little Falls
last week.
The members of the new company
are Chas. Gravel, M. b. MCGEE and
Hon. G.. B. Buchanan. They have
bought the sawmill at Vineland and
are moving it to this place, part of the
material having already arrived.
The construction of the mill will be
rushed as rapidly as possible, and the
plant will be operated this winter. A
flour and feed store will also be OPEN
ed here by the company.
The men forming the company are
all men of means and ability and the
location of their industry here is a
valuable acquisition to this point. The
company owns considerable timber
that is tributary to this place.-Lake

FIRE OVER SALOON.
Several Hundred Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed Yesterday Morning.

Several Hundred Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed Yesterday Morning.
Yesterday morning shortly after 3
O'Clock fire was discovered issuing
from the roof of the Smith & Farley
saloon building, and before it could
be extinguished the rooms in the Sec
ond story were completely Quilted and
thier contents destroyed. The fire was
discovered by the Tri-State telephone
operator, who Immediately turned in
an alarm, but for some reason or
other the whistle was not blown for
fully fifteen minutes thereafter. An
alarm was also sent in from the Rural
exchange.
William Simpson slept over the
saloon, but at the time the fire started
he was absent from his room and sus-
tanned a loss of all his earthly posses
sions- trunk, wearing apparel and
carpenter tools.
At the time of the arrival of the fire
department, which was prompt in it's

was ablaze and flames we're shooting
through the roof. The fire was how
ever subdued before it had an oppor-
tunity of reaching the adjoining build
ings, although the Tri-State telephone
Office and Scheen's store we're damag-
ed by water to a considerable extent
the plastering in the former being
loosened and the paper on the ceiling
of the latter being ruined. A part of
Mr.. Scheen's stock was also damaged.
The ceiling and walls of the First Ma
tional bank were slightly damaged by
water.
The interior of Smith & Earley's
saloon sustained the greater amount
of injury from water. The plastering
fell from the ceiling and walls and the
fixtures we're badly damaged.
No one has the remotest idea of how
the fire originated, as there were no

Teachers Entertain.

The teachers of the Whittier school
entertained the high school and Brick
ton instructors on Friday evening.
A number of young men we're also in
vited to make the gathering more in
teresting. The entertainment was in
the nature of character sketch of
various cities, each room representing
one of such cities and those taking
part being dressed in appropriate
costumes. Delicious refreshments
were served by the young ladies and
every one present at the party were
highly delighted with the entertain
ment.

TRAIN AND TEAM COLLIDE.

Frank Sawyer Drives Horses In Front of
Engine at Brickton.
A team driven by Frank Sawyer
was struck by the northbound passen-
ger on Friday evening at the Brick
ton crossing and one of the horses
was injured to such an extent that the
trainmen decided to shoot it. The
other horse was badly crippled and
the buggy damaged. Sawyer was
hurled over an embankment but es-
capped unhurt. The team had been
hired from Chas. King.
Depot Agent George Rice was ap-
prised of the accident by telephone
and, snmmoning DR.. Armitage and
Thos. Kaliher, drove to the scene of
the collision. Arriving there they
found Sawyer in a shack near the
tracks none the worse for his expe-
rience. He had been placed in the
shack by the trainmen. They brought
Sawyer to Princeton, where he was
lodged in the lookup by Deputy Sher-
if Kaliher. The following day he
was released.
At the time of the accident the train
was slowing up for a stop, and it is
said that Sawyer persisted in crossing
the track despite the warning of per-
sons standing. near and the shouting
of the trainmen. The engine came to
a standstill after proceeding but few
feet past the place where the collision
occurred
Charles King, the owner of the
team, who also drove to Brickton but
arrived there after the first party from
Princeton, says that when he put in
an appearance the horse had been
shot and buried by the trainmen and
the harness ruined by being cut to
pieces. Mr.. King questions the right
OF the train crew to either kill the
horse or destroy the harness.
On Saturday Oliver Sawyer, father
of Frank Sawyer, arrived in Prince
ton from Minneapolis and there was a
rumor afloat that he would endeavor
to effect a settlement with Mr.. King,
but this proved to be groundless.
The Great Northern claim agent
came up on Monday to investigate the
cause of the collision, and from what
Mr.. King could gather from his re-
marks on Tuesday Sawyer had
made affidavit that at the time the
team was run down he was in a state
OF intoxication. This will probably
relieve the railroad company from
any liability in the premises.

But All Buyers at This Point Are Paying
Cash for Stock.

Cash for Stock.
Potato buyers, both home and
foreign, are paying cash for stock
this week, but receipts at the ware
houses have been light in consequence
OF the low prices prevailing. Farmers
who do not need the ready cash-those
who can possibly get along without it
are holding their murphys for an
advance, and it looks like wise
move.
There has been considerable activ-
ity at the American Society of
Equity's storage cellar during the
week. The members of the associ-
alton are unloading a considerable
quantity of potatoes and expect to
hold the stock until fair prices can be
obtained. The society will ship direct
to the wholesale men in various parts
OF the country, thus saving middle
mems profit.
Something like thirty carloads of
potatoes have been shipped from here
during the past seven days, most of
them going to St. Paul for transfer,
but there is still car shortage prev
alent.
The market at Kansas City, Chicago
and other large shipping points is in
demoralized condition, and S. W.
Williams told the Union yesterday
that the demand is extremely light
that in fact state of stagnation pre-
vailed.
Much speculation exists as to what
the future of the market will be, some
of the local buyers inclining to the
opinion that prices will 60 still lower,
but this is of course merely a matter
of conjecture and farmers should not
be Influenced thereby to sell.
In view of the fact that the crop this
year is below the general average the
Uni is unable to see any reason
why potato prices should not eventu-
ally advance to point where fair
profit may be obtained by the grower,
and it therefore believes that those
who hold their stock will be amply re-
paid for so doing.

of farmers and will be of material
benefit to both Milaca and Princeton.
Contracts have been let for grading
the road and all but about two miles
at the north end will be completed this
year. The county commissioners
have acted wisely in laying out this
new road which shortens the distance
between Milaca and Princeton to about
seventeen miles.

An adjourned meeting OF the Mile
Laos board of county commissioners
was held at the court house on Tues
day and continued in session one day.
The members were all in attendance,
viz, John Dalchow, chairman; L. S.
Libby, G. E. Erickson, o. Il. Uglem
and T. E. Potts. A synopsis of the
proceedings of the board is hereunder
given:
A batch of bills, numbering lob,
was passed upon and liquor licenses
we're granted to Olson & Logering
and Andrew B. Hovey, New Onamia.
The petition praying for change
of the boundary lines of the town of
Isle Harbor so as to include township
Al, range Is, the hearing of which was
continued from the previous meeting,
was fully considered and the prayer
of petitioners refused.
Jacob Van Rhee of Milaca made
application to be released from his
suretyship on the bond of the Milaca
State bank. His application was dis
allowed. The Milaca State bank is
one of the repositories for county
funds.

sented their liquor license bond, which
was read, approved and ordered filed.
G. E. Barnes made application to
the board for a correction of assess
ment and abatement of 1906 taxes on
the west Sc feet of the east 112 feet OF
lot 2, block 81, Third addition to
Milaca. The application was recon-
mended for approval by the tax COM
mission.
Sheriff Shockley reported the col
lection of 1888, delinquent taxes,
from Ward & Davis of Milaca, the
total amount of such taxes due, with
penalty, being 1887. The board
authorized the treasurer to accept the
amount collected in full satisfaction
of the debt and to cancel the obliga-
ton.
The bid of Carl Rick was accepted
for the construction of road from
Long Siding to the north line of the
town of Princeton at one dollar per
rod. This was the only bid received
for the work.
A resolution was passed by the
board to the effect that the county
would pay no further bills for costs
of criminal suits in justice court un-
less the prosecutions are authorized
by the county attorney, and then only
when good cause is set forth for such
proceedings.
It was decided by the board to pur-
chase the Universal adding machine
which has for some time been on trial
at the court house. The cost of this
machine, which will greatly facilitate
the work of the auditor and treasurer,
is $3.50. The investment is good one.

BAR WOMEN SECRETARIES
IN SOME FEDERAL OFFICES

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Women
clerks Of the agriculture department
cannot hereafter act as private sec
retaries for male chiefs of the divi-
sions or bureaus. This dictum. harsh
as it may seem, stands as law in
that Department. Secretary Wilson
has issued it and he says he means
business.
BY the terms of his order no woman
clerk under him shall in the future
act as clerk to any male chief of division
or bureau in the department. The or
der is a direct result of the Holmes
cotton scandal case, in which Mrs.
Bertha Burch figured so prominently,
testifying in this city two weeks ago
in the trial of Holmes.
On account of her position in the
office of chief statistican of the de-
partment she became expert in cror
figures ard now she is conducting a
statistical bureau of her own in New
York city.

disappointed in not getting the piano.
ramic views, but these will be OBJ
tanned later.
Speaking of the way the club provid-
ed for him and the pains taken to help
him get good pictures, G. n. Shanafelt,
the Portland artist who did the work,
said:
II never saw anything systematized
in such a manner as was the way In
which Mr. Langdon arranged for the
picture taking. He furnished automo-
biles and had a schedule of every pic
tire to be taken and the time when 1t
could best be photographed. BY MI
Manning we were able to do four days
work in two"
The Portland firm was about to
send a man up in this country to~get
views and hearing of this the club Sc
cured his services by taking him
around while he was here, thus get
ting the pictures at a small cost.
William A. Langdon, who assisted
the photographer in getting the pic
lures, said this afternoon:
1.-The pictures received are mostly
good and just what we wanted; but
the panoramic views taken were not
submitted at all. We had placed much
reliance on this machine and had hoped
to get some good pictures.
I'VE will however, as soon as posi-
BILE, get a photographer of national
reputation here with a panorama ma
chine which takes picture more than
40 inches long.
1--WE will get him here as soon as we
can. Panoramic harvest scenes. views
of the valley and sights in the city are
what we want. We will get these as
soon as possible and send them out in
the advertising matter of the club
