An Experiment Worth Irving.

The other day in St. Paul Mr.. M. S.
Rutherford had talk with Engineer
Cooley of the state highway commits
sion, and the result of the talk was
that Mr.. Cooley expressed his willing
ness to expend a small amount in ex-
perimenting on mile of the sandy
road between Princeton and Elk
River. The scheme, which is a prac-
tical one and has often been urged in
the columns of the U zion, is to clear
the road of trees and brush for it's en-
tire width, then seed to clover the part
that is not used for travel and when
the clover natures spread it on the
travelled roadway. All the clover
need not be used at once, enough
could be saved and stacked up to give
the roadway two or three coatings
in a year. That the experiment would
prove successful we have not the least
doubt, anyhow it is we'll worth trying.
Mr.. Cooley expressed the desire that
Mr.. Rutherford and the publisher of
the U n o n should take charge of the
work, and if the town authorities of
Baldwin will cooperate the expert
ment will be made next spring. But
the mile must be grubbed out and pre-
pared for the pillow this fall. Enough
material can be grown on the unused
part of sandy road to keep the
travelled part in good condition all
the time.

Good Road Work in Baldwin,

A splendid job of strawing has been
done on the Spencer Brook road in
the town Of Baldwin, commencing at
the Woodman hill and extending to
George Townsend's farm. People who
travel that much used thoroughfare
have reason to bless that Baldwin
road overseer. It certainly is the
best job that has been done for years
on that road. The beneficial effect of
a deep coating of straw or marsh hay
on sandy stretch of road is truly
wonderful. The man who straws a
sandy piece of road is christian,
and if he is not rewarded in this
world he will get his deserts in the
world to come.
A Baldwin farmer requests the
Union to call the attention of the
village authorities to the Cravens hill
and suggest that coating of straw
would improve it and would be ap-
preciated by the farmers.

A $500 PREMIUM LIST
lille Laos County Fair Will Open at
Princeton on Sept. 26th and
Continue Three Days.
Program of Sports Includes Races, Bal
loon Ascensions, Ball Games
and Other Attractions.

In this issue of the U n O n appears
the premium list and program of
sports for the sixteenth annual fair Of
the Mile Laos County Agricultural
association, which will open in
Princeton, Thursday, September 26,
"a week from today,-and close on
Saturday, September 2S.
The officers of the association have
found it possible to double in some
classes of exhibits the amount of the
premiums-that is, to make them twice
as large as those published in last
years list. This should be an induce
ment for exhibitors to put forth great
er effort in competing for the awards
it should result IN more and better
stock and farm product exhibits. It
is also to be hoped that before an
other year rolls around permanent
grounds will be secured and new
buildings erected. Immediately after
the fair another attempt will be made
to effect reorganization of the So
ciety and raise the necessary funds to
purchase grounds and erect suitable
buildings.
This years fair will be virtually an
event for the farmers. as it should be,
and to this end the management has
placed on the program four races for
farmers horses only-two for Friday
and two for Saturday-and no en-
trance fees will be charged. In the
other two races none but Mile Laos
county horses will be permitted to
enter. Among the sports balloon as
tensions and baseball games are ad-
vertised, a man to make the ascensions
having been already engaged. Taken
all in all the program throughout is
an attractive one. With good prem
iums and good sports large attend
ance should result if propitious
weather prevails.
Persons deciding to place exhibits
at the fair should take them to the
grounds as early as possible upon the
morning of the opening day in order
to facilitate the work of checking and
listing.
If every one puts forth an effort there
is no reason why the fair should not
prove a success.

Onamia Old and New.
At Onamia we caught our first
glimpse of the roadbed of the 500
cutoff to Duluth, and it was well
come sight. Welcome because we
know what the building of that rail-
road means to the hardy pioneers who
have waited so long and so patiently
for the coming of the iron horse.
Inveigh as you may against railroads,
a railroad is the harbinger of civil
cation.
At present the main part of Onamia
is west of the river. The 500 depot
will be built on the east side and
there is where the townsite of New
Onamia is laid out, but at present the
bulk of the business is transacted on
the west side, where hotel, two gen.
eral stores, two saloons and the post
office are located. The First State
Bank and several other places of
business are established in New

Henri Avery Expects to Com mence Bust

Henri Avery las rented the south
corner store in the Martin Brands
block on Main street and expects to
commence business therein on or
about October l. He intends carrying
an up-to-date stock of mems and
boys clothing and gents furnishing
goods of every description.
Mr.. Avery is a young man of wide
experience in the business which he is
about to engage on his own account.
For years he was head clerk in the
Jesmer department store and upon
most occasions did the buying for the
firm. Consequently he knows how to
purchase goods to the best advantage,
and the customer, as we'll as himself,
is benefited thereby. Mr.. Avery is a
business man in every sense Of the
word and can be depended upon to
give his patrons the best there is in
the market for the money.

one dollar was paid out to laborers in
the mill in years gone by. The farm

Milaca are doing a good cash bust

It is not to be wondered at that the
place has a prosperous air. One

The bulk of the cultivated land in
Mile Laos county lies south of the St.
Cloud & Hinckley branch. But the
region to the north is making rapid
strides in the right direction. In
mediately north of Milaca quite a
number of good farms have been
opened up, and the west bank of the
river is dotted with farm houses and
barns. At Mike Drew considerab BILE
