M0VEINT0NEW HOME
DR.. Armitage and Family Occupy Cozy
and Substantial Brick Resi-
dence Recently Built.
Interior Equipped With Modern Con-
Veniences, Including Fine Hot
Water Heating System.

DR.. Armitage and family on Tues
day moved into their new residence and
1t is one of the most substantially
built and comfortably equipped homes
in town. While not so large as some
OF the dwelling houses which have
been erected in Princeton during the
past few years, it's architectural
design is pleasing to the eye. Nothing
fancy, tits true, but it presents
an appearance of comfort-of cozi-
ness. The building is perfectly in
harmony with the doctors style
plain and unassuming.
The residence of DR.. Armitape is rs
by IS feet. It has full size
basement, and it's height is two
stories and an attic. The main walls
are constructed of cream brick
finished with sandstone blocks to
match and a porch extends the full
length of the front, or east side.
Upon the ground floor is a sitting
room, drawing room, kitchen, recep-
ton hall, two clothes closets and a
bedroom. These rooms are all fin
ished in dark fumed polished oak and
the floors are of hardwood to match.
There are two mantelpieces with open
fire places on this floor, one in the
southeast room and the other in the
northeast, and these mantels are con-
structeds of Boston pressed brick
and tile respectively. The five bed
rooms on the second floor are finished
in birch and have hard maple floors.
Two of these rooms have fire places.
There are also two bathrooms on the
second floor inlaid with fine thing.
In the attic are two bedrooms finished
in Georgia pine with hard maple
floors. The staircases are of polished
oak. The basement contains a
furnace, two cisterns, laundry with
three soapstone tubs, coal bins and
lavatory. A hot water system is
used for heating purposes and the
building is lighted throughout with
electricity.
Eldridge Anderson was the contrac-
tor for the building and it can be- said
to his credit that the work is we'll
executed-the building is as solid as
the rock of Gibraltar. And again, all
home labor was employed in it's con-
struction.

Prosperous Year for Railroads.

During the year 1907 the railroads
of the United States installed a total
of 60, 1886 miles of block signals, more
than during any other year of their
history, built 5, 100 miles of new road
and bought nearly $4,000 freight
cars, 1899 passenger cars and 3.777
locomotives.
The installation of block signals
was nearly 5000 miles in excess of the
previous year. With the exception OF
1906, the construction of new lines
was greater than since 1888.
The record of receiverships and
foreclosures also give evidence of the
general railroad prosperity. A total
of only seven roads aggregated 81
miles, and bonds and stock aggregat-
ing S13, 700. 900 went into the hands OF
receivers. Six roads we're sold at
foreclosure and they represented ia
miles.
In Canada during the year 723
miles of new road were constructed
and in Mexico $40 miles. -.
The states west of the Mississippi
river show the most marked develop
ment in,railroad building. The north
western territory of North and South
Dakota, Washington, Oregon, north
ern California and Nevada have, been
most active. -: " .~..st-

ROAD TO BE FINISHED Nj! 4 J D
County Board Let's Contract for Clear
Ing Section Of 1ighwsy Be-
tween rIllaca and Cove.
A. G. Wilkes Of rl1laca Awarded Con.
tract for Work at Two Hum
F
dred Dollars per lille.

On Friday the county commissions
ers met at the residence of Carl Sho-
lin in Page township for the purpose
of receiving bids for cutting the brush
and removing the stumps on that part
of the state road remaining uncleared
between Milaca and Cove. The. con-
tract was awarded to A. C. Wilkes
of Milaca at 5000 per mile. ~
Several miles of this road have
been cleared and graded from Milaca
north, and from Cove south it is
cleared to a point near the right OF
way of the 500 railroad.
The road at issue. when completed,
will shorten the distance between
Milaca and the lake something like
five miles. Besides this it will be a
great advantage to the farmers living
along the cutoff. A frst-class high
way, we'll graded, now runs from
Milaca to the lake, but the commits
sioners demonstrate their wisdom in
making arrangements for this cutoff.
It is impossible to have too many
good roads. Good roads bring in
settlers and open up agricultural
lands--in fact there is nothing that
will approach good roads in the way
of advertising a country. 49,
It is expected that by next fall the
entire stretch of road will be COM
pleted. z ~ e&*.2 V
The Unto n has always advocated
good roads. Some think, and in fact
say, that the paper is a crank on this
subject. But it's advocacys.of good
roads will continue with increased
vigor and the people will find that
it will eventually rebound to their
lasting benefit.
Important Decision.
The interior department has rem
dered formald ecision of greatimpor-
lance to Indians on the, White Earth
reservation in Minnesota, and ito
those who shave .stried1 Ms purchase
lands from the Indians. The depart
ment. holds that the Indians are
entitled to their lands under a patent
giving fee-simple title.
Under such patent the Indians
will have full power to sell the lands,
and will be able to give clear title to
the purchase.
Nearly $500 patents have been
issued under the so-called Burke act.
which was supposed to change the
former law, and to give the Indians
title only during lifetime, the land to
revert to the government at the end of
that period. Many of the Indians
who have been DESTROYS of selling
their lands and moving elsewhere, or
using the money to continue their
education elsewhere, found it impos-
sible to sell, because a clear title
could not be given.
Under the decision of the depart
ment, new patents will be issued as
quickly as possible to the $500
Indians interested, and these patents
will give them full title to the land.

is DETROIT VS.. CHICAGO.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE National Base
ball commission will meet in Chicago
next Sunday and complete preparations
for the worlds series to be played be-
tween the Chicago Cubs and the De-
troit American league team. Presi-
dents Johnson and Puliam favor the
suggestion to change the division of
the gate receipts the winner to get 60
per cent and the loser 40.
The division in former series has
been 10 and % per cent. This matter
will come up for final settlement at the
meeting unless the players Of either
club object.
1t has been decided to open the series
on next Wednesday instead of Tuesday
as originally planned. This change
is made in order to give the Detroit
management time to prepare suitable
arrangements for the crowds. The
teams will play in Chicago on Wednes
day and Thursday, in Detroit Friday
and Saturday. and if the remaining
games are necessary they will be play
| ed in Chicago on Sunday and Monday.
