WAHKON AND ONAMIA.
Sale of Town Lots Held Last Friday and
SATURDAY..

SATURDAY.
The sale of lots on the Wahkon
townsite last Friday was attended by
about four hundred persons and the
lots sold upon that day numbered
twenty. On the following morning
six more were disposed of. A mini
mum price of $500 had been fixed by
the townsite company for corner lots
and from $500 to S4O0 for lots in
tervening. Each lot is rs feet in
width or less than one-half the width
of lots in Princeton. The sale was
devoid of anything approaching en-
thusiasm. There was no bargain
counter rush-nO wild scramble to
obtain corner or other lots. The
minimum prices fixed by the CON-
pany generally prevailed. Among
the purchasers of corner lots we're
Robt. n. King and L. S. Briggs,
500 State bank, Hall Bros. & Grady
and Fitger Brewing Co. M. E. Ruth
erford and Thos. F. Norton also
bought lots, but they were not COR
ners.
At New Onamia on Saturday about
two hundred attended the sale of
lots, but only nine were disposed of,
which ranged in price from $3.50 to
1865, the latter being for a corner
lot purchased by the Fitger Brewing
company of Duluth. The First State
Bank of Onamia also purchased a
corner lot, paying therefor $3.50.
Several lots have been disposed of
since the public sale.
1t is clearly apparent that to the
high price asked for lots in both
townsites is due the small sales, and
it seems to US that the policy of the
townsite company in demanding
such exorbitant figures is poor one.
1t is, to say the least, no way to
build up country.

TEMPERANCE RALLY
Advocates of Total Abstinence De.
liver Addresses in Three Relig-
ious Edifices Sunday.
Exercises On Court House Lawn in
Afternoon Attended by Large
COnCourSe of People.

Sunday was temperance day in
Princeton and the pulpits of the Meth
odist, Congregational and Swedish
Lutheran churches we're occupied in
the morning by the following orators,
respectively: W. G. Calderwood,
secretary of the state prohibition CON-
mittee: w. J. Arnold and Rev. Ben
nett Erickson. A large audience
greeted the speakers in each of the
churches and their discourses were
we'll worth listening to. They were
elocutionists, every one of them, and
Mr.. Arnold, the colored advocate OF
temperance, possesses the additional
advantage of being a good vocalist.
His tenor voice is exceptionally we'll
trained and he makes a frst-class
choirmast
In the afternoon mass meeting
was held upon the grounds of the
court house and it is estimated that
at least a thousand persons were
present. An improvised platform and
seats had been provided for the oc-
casion, and an organ procured. The
speakers at the churches in the morn
ing also addressed the assemblage in
the afternoon upon the evils of strong
drink and implored their listeners to
shun the demon rum. Many of those
in attendance seemed to be deeply i'm
pressed with the logical discourses
delivered by the three able orators.
An interesting feature of the program
was the choral selections under the
direction of Mr.. Arnold, which were
accompanied by Miss Woodcock on
the organ.
Revivals of this sort always tend to
the betterment Of humanity and at
tract, among others, number of
people who scarcely ever attend a
place of worship. The work in which
these gentlemen are engaged is truly
good one and the people should ap-
preciate their efforts.

dress to the Pupils.
Lecture in Nature of Advice to Instruc=
tors, the Title of Subject Being
1.-THE Ideal Teacher.''

DR.. G. M. Jordan, superintendent
OF the Minneapolis public schools, de-
ll7ered an able address to the pupils
OF the Princeton summer school and
others at the Congregational church
on Tuesday evening. The speaker
was introduced by County Superin-
tendent Guy Ewing, who extolled the
work of summer schools generally
and of the Princeton institution par
ticularly. Mr.. Ewing's Introductory
remarks were terse but appropriate.
The subject upon which DR.. Jordan
discoursed was 1.-The Ideal Teachers
and he did full justice to his text,
lucidly detailing the duties of
teacher to the class over which he or
she presides. He advised the teachers
to take every advanced course posi-
BILE within their reach and to espe-
clally embrace the opportunities
afforded them by the summer schools.
He endeavored to impress upon the
teachers the fact that their work was
altogether different from that of the
artisan or anyone engaged in profess
sions which embraced only the ma
terial in life. He told them they
should at all times remember that
their duty was to mould minds and
act accordingly-that they should also
conduct themselves in a manner that
would prove living example to their
pupils. If, said DR.. Jordan, teachers
find that they are not adapted to the
profession they should seek some
other vocation, for unless they are in
love with their work and labor untir-
ingly to enhance those who are placed
in their charge they will never make
a success of their calling.
The lecture throughout was interest,"
ing and instructive. DR.. Jordan
handled his subject in a masterful
manner.
Three selections were admirably
rendered by the summer school choir
during the lecture which were accom-
panied by Mrs. Guy Ewing on the
piano.

PRAISES MILE Laos LAKE.
Chicag Ba1liff Says 1t is One of the Most
Beautiful Lakes In the Country.

Beautiful Lakes In the Country.
J. A. Thomas, chief deputy bailiff
of the Chicago municipal court, and
Frank Smith, of whom Mr.. Thomas
was the guest. last week made a fish
ing trip to Mile Laos lake and re-
turned with ffty-six of the finest speci-
mems of black bass we have ever seen.
They were veritable beauties, and this
Office is indebted to Messrs. Thomas
and Smith for a dozen thereof.
''It was one of the most enjoyable
trips I have ever TAKEN" says Mr..
Thomas. "That magnificent lake in
itself, with it's picturesque shore line,
is worth trip from Chicago to see.
And the fishing. I know of no place
that will equal it, and I have Travelled
over this country extensively in fol-
lowing my favorite sport. We So
journed at the Rogers hostelry, near
Vineland, and some distance from
there just happened across a spot
which was fairly alive with bass.
They were biting voraciously and it
was no trick to catch the days legal
limit. After accomplishing this we
returned to shore and awaited the
coming of another day, when we put
forth again and resumed operations.
There are men in Chicago who would
give large amount to catch bass like
we did upon this occasion. I am ex-
ceedingly pleased with my trip and
shall tell the boys when get home
that Mile Laos lake is the place to go
for a fishing trip
Mr.. Thomas spoke highly of the
Rogers hostelry. saying that the
service was of the very best and the
people very accommodating. He as
sured us that he will not permit next
years vacation period to slip past
without embracing the opportunity to
again visit Mile Laos lake.
Mr.. Thomas is jolly fellow with
whom it is a pleasure to become &C
Ouainted.

Little Prospect of Success.

held in the court house hall Monday
afternoon, and it required consider
able telephoning to secure. even that
small attendance. It seems almost
impossible to waken interest in the
fair project However, additional
pledges for stock to the amount of
$40 were secured as follows: A. W.
Woodcock, 500: J. J. Skahen, 500:
John Sjoblom, 500: r. D. Byers,
$50: Louis Larson, $50: and Kopp
& Bartholomew, $40. At the former
meeting s1,130 was pledged, as re-
ported in last weeks issue of the
Union, making a total of 81, $40 up
to date. This is slow progress. At
least $4,000 is required to secure per-
manent grounds and provide decent
accommodations for holding a fair.
It does seem as if that amount should
be raised without much difficulty. If a
fair is to be held this fall prompt ac-
tion is necessary. After considerable
discussion at the meeting on Monday,
on motion the chair appointed an ad-
ditional committee to solicit pledges
for stock as follows: j. J. Skahen,
Magnus Sjoblom, T. F. Scheen, A.
W. Woodcock and Robt. King. Said
committee to report at an adjourned
meeting to be held in the court house
hall on Friday afternoon at O'Clock.
Every citizen of Princeton village
and every farmer who is interested in
the establishment of fair on per-
manent basis is earnestly requested to
attend the meeting tomorrow after
noon. Let it be distinctly understood
that the meeting tomorrow afternoon
will be decisive. If no greater inter-
est is manifested than has already
been shown, and if a sufficient number
of pledges for stock to the amount of
1000 cannot be secured the whole
matter will be dropped, and no further
effort will be made in the direction of
securing permanent fair grounds. If
on the other hand the necessary
amount is pledged steps will immedi-
ately be taken to perfect an organiza-
ton, 40 acres for grounds will be Sc
cured and the Rum River Valley
Agricultural association will hold the
best fair this fall ever held in this
part Of the state, and each succeeding
year the fair will continue to improve
until it is second to none in Mime
sofa.
Another feature that should not be
overlooked is the monthly market day
in connection with the fair. A regu-
lar monthly market day for the buy
ing and selling of live stock and
farmers produce would be boon to
the farmers and of immense benefit to
Princeton. Let it be thoroughly un-
derstood that on certain day in each
month farmers who have live stock to
sell can, by coming to Princeton, find
a good market for the same. But it is
not necessary to elaborate on the ad-
vantages that would accrue to the
farmers and business men from the
building up of a monthly market at
this place. Let US meet and talk these
matters over tomorrow afternoon.
