NaW P8nAr at WMhknn.

Number one volume one of the
Wahkon Enterprise has reached the
U i Office. It is a six-column
quarto and four of it's pages are home
print. The paper presents neat APP
pearance and makes fair showing of
advertisements. Its publisher, Mr..
George E. Sloan, is an old newspaper
man and appears to take an optimis-
tic view of things. The Enterprise
makes the third newspaper in the Mile
Laos lake region. There may be
room for three newspapers in that ter
ritory, but, for time at least, it will
be hard Shedding for some of the boys.
From what we know of Mr.. Sloan
through his friends in Big Stone

on the site of the old Dalbo building
and has been rented from Louis Lar
son. Its capacity is about Is, 600
bushels and it was built and equipped
especially for the storage of potatoes.
The headquarters of the Northern
Produce company is at Cambridge
and Peter Dahlman is it's general
manager. This company, in which
there are several hundred sharehold-
ers, was organized last year, and so
encouraging has it's business been
that it now has branches at Stanch-
field, CRANKY, Isanti and Princeton.
Mr.. Goodwin, manager of the
Princeton branch, says it is not the
intention of his company to bull the
market, but it will pay prevailing
prices for potatoes. So far Mr..
Goodwin has taken in at this point
about 5000 bushels and shipped four
cars.

Want Railroad Facilities,

The farmers of Bradford and Spen-
Ger Brook in Isanti county are at
tempting to stir up interest in rail-
road project, and at a mass meeting
held in the former town the other
evening committees were appointed to
confer with the business men and
farmers of St. Francis and neighbour
ing towns. In the course of time a
railroad may intersect the territory
lying between the Princeton and Cam
bridge branches of the Great
Northern-the 500 or some other
road may want direct connection
between Duluth and Superior and St.
Paul and Minneapolis. But just at
present the prospects for building new
lines of railroad are not very encour-
aging. If the 500 completes it's
Brooten and Duluth branch next year
it will do we'll.

First National of Milaca.

Within few days, as soon as the
necessary requirements can be COM
piled with, the Farmers State Bank
of Milaca will be converted into a
national bank and will be. known as
the First National Bank of Milaca.
The new institution will have a paid
up capital of $4,000, and it's stock
holders will include such we'll known
and highly respected citizens as
George 81. Deans of Foreston, M. K.
Rudd of Milaca, T. 81. Galley and
Aulger Rines of Princeton, in addition
to those already identified with the
Farmers bank. The officers of the
First National will be Chas. Keith,
president; M. K. Rudd, vice presi-
dent; J. A. Allen, cashier; G. Il.
Dahlstrom, assistant cashier. The
stockholders and officers are all
good substantial residents of the
county, and the Times is right when it
says in the First National "MiIaca

OF Interest to Teachers.

The books for the Reading circle
work are in use in every county ir
Minnesota and the law provides thai
the county superintendent shall use
every effort to have the teachers ir
his county purchase those books
Therefore I repeat my request of las,
week that you get one, two or al.
three of these books and read them, il
possible, before the next examination
They are all helpful. You may send
to this Office for them or direct to the
publishers. Suit your convenience as
to that.
All the schools of the county are
now in session. They are in general
supplied with a fine class of teachers
and the attendance is above that oil
last year. Boards are fully alive to
what is needed for the comfort and
welfare of their children and they are
putting in good heating and ventilat.
ing plants in all parts of the county
The board convention will probably
be held in January, 1908, and at the
same time session of the Teachers
association will be called. I shall
have some leading men and women
here as speakers and singers.
The notices for the next teachers
examination have not been received
but the dates are fixed for January 80

receive no term report blank before
that vacation the register report will
answer the purpose, so that teachers
may draw their last months pay.
Let me close by asking you again
to get into the Reading circle work
without delay, and though no meeting
will be called for some weeks in
this work, you can get the sense OF

This Years CrOD.

Bradstreet's have issued their
annual Thanksgiving estimate of the
nations crop yield, and it affords,
when prices are considered with it,
plenty of occasion for thankfulness.
even though nearly all of the yields
are lower than those of last year.
This was expected, because the spring
season was backward and unfavor-
able. Yet the decreases are relative
~ small, and they are more than Off
set by increased prices. In six lead.
ing cereals the crop is Is per cent
smaller than last year, but the prices
have run from IL to 40 per cent
higher. While wheat production is
14.9 per cent lower than last years,
the price of wheat was % per cent
higher last week than it was last year
at the same time. Corn production
decreased 1871 per cent, but the price
is Is per cent higher. "Taken as a
WHOLE" says Bradstreet's, "this
years cereal crops will yield fully as
much if not more than they did a
year ago."
And some crops yielded more large
ly than last year. Hay, a crop whose
value was exceeded only by corn and
cotton in 1906, gained per cent over
last year: rice gained POP per cent
and sugar per cent.
Furthermore, while the yields are
generally smaller than last year, they
are not greatly lower than those of
the record years, hence they are
above the average. Corn decreased
12.7 per cent from last year, yet, last
years crop was the record, and the
same is true of winter wheat, which
lost II per cent from last year.

GAME FORFEITED.
Monticellos Fail to Appear and Princetons
Chalk Up Six Points,

Monticellos Fail to Appear and Princetons
Chalk Up Six Points,
To many the failure of the Thanks
giving day football game to material
ize was a disappointment. The
Princeton boys were prepared for and
awaited the fray, but the Monticellos
weakened and failed to show up.
Hence, by the rules of football, the
game was forfeited and the Prince
tons chalked up score of to O-that
is, six for themselves and a goose egg
for Monticello.
AS this game was to decide the
supremacy of the two teams there
would doubtless have been a record
breaking attendance with it's conse-
quential heavy gate receipts, and the
Princeton eleven are justified in cher
ishing certain amount of luminosity
toward the team that failed to live up
to its promise. It appears to be a
pure case of "We are afraid of you''
with the Monticellos, however, but
such breach of football etiquette as
that of which they. are guilty is not
soon forgotten and will probably
result in their being unable to secure
a contest with the Princetons for years
to come.
Had the Monticellos apprised
Coach Whitney that they were not
coming he could readily have secured
a Minneapolis team to push the pig:
skin against his aggregation, but they
were as mum as a bivalve and he
naturally expected them to appear.
Under the management of Jesse
Angstman the Princeton high school
football team has played more games
than at any previous season and has
prospered financially. Coach Whit
ney and Captain Roos are also en-
titled to share of the laurels for the
active interest which they have mani
tested and the good work performed
in this, the banner of all football
seasons for Princeton's high school
football eleven.

Princeton Potato Market,

The tone of the market is a triAe
stronger this week in consequence Of
the awakening of an outside demand,
but this demand has not been heavy.
However, the adjustment of the fnan.
cial situation is expected to bring
about better conditions-to create a
heavier demand from the large market
centers. Small quantities of potatoes
are being brought in daily, but many
of the farmers are holding for better
prices. Shipments from this point
are slightly on the increase, and at
this time there appears to be a
sufficient number of cars for all pur.
poses. Prices have not changed
materially from those prevailing last
week.

DOMINICAN FATHERS.
Are Holding Weeks Mission Services
at St. Edwards Catholic Church
in Village of Princeton.
Learned Divines Elucidate Truths of
the Gospel and Exhort People
to Lead Better Lives.

But seldom are the residents OF
Princeton and vicinity afforded an
opportunity of listening to so learned
and eloquent gentlemen as the Domin-
lean fathers, Revs. S. r. Brockbank
and J. M. Eckert, both of Minneapo-
lis, who are this week conducting a
mission at St. Edwards Catholic
church. People of mixed religious
denominations have filled St. Ed
wards to overlooking at every service
held and we'll have they been repaid
for the time expended. From every
quarter comes words of eulogy for
Rev. Fathers Brockbank and Eckert,
and they are fully entitled to this
praise for their logical calculation OF
the various subjects upon which they
discourse. -. -
Forceful and impressive are the
words of these learned divines, and
to such all extent are their exhorta-
tions taken to heart that at times the
audience, from the strongest man to
the weakest woman, are convulsed in
tears. The advice of the Dominican
fathers is of the soundest, and we're
we to live up to their teachings we
could do nothing that is wrong.
If you have not attended one of
these mission services you should do
so-you will be better therefor. The
mission will be in progress until Sun
day next, December 8.
Among the visiting priests who were
here this week and took part in the
services we're the Very Rev. Father
Kitowski of Foley and Rev. Father
Cans of Alexandria. Rev. Father
Levings is in charge of the mission.

considerable Importance to the county
which was taken up at this session,
VIZ, the tax case of Alberta E.

have the evidence in the case thor.
oughly reviewed, and to this end en-
gagged Attorney E. L. Mcmillan to
assist County Attorney Ross. A

amount if it can possibly be avoided.
The liquor license bond of Otis &

Death Caused by Collision Between a Pass
enger Train and FREIGHT Transfer.

Death Caused by Collision Between a Pass
enger Train and Freight Transfer.
The delay in the arrival of Satur-
day mornings passenger train at this
place was occasioned by it's collision
with the rear end of freight trans
fer half mile north of the Northern
Pacific depot in South Superior at
$50 a. m.
J. c. Hendricks, fireman on the
Great Northern passenger train,
while in the act of jumping from his
engine, was struck by the baggage car
and received injuries from which he
died within few minutes. Engineer
Watson of the same train, who jumped
simultaneously with Hendricks, es-
capped with but slight injury to one
of his legs.
When the passenger train collided
with the freight transfer the latter was
on it's way with string of cars
loaded with wheat bound to the east
end elevators and mills. The engine
of the passenger train was reduced to
scrap heap while couple of cars in
the transfer train were demolished
and wheat was spread about the rail-
road yards, The baggage car was but
slightly damaged.
The wreck is said to have been due
to the negligence of some one in not
putting out a fagman. The transfer
had left the south side few minutes
ahead of the time the passenger train
was due. It had gone but a short dis
lance when it broke in two, leaving
several cars standing on the main
line.
1t was still dark when the passenger
train came laundering along at
speed of 30 miles an hour. Tt is said
that there was no fagman out or
lights on the rear car of the transfer
to give warning and before the crew
OF the passenger train realized what
was up they were about to crash into
the freight cars.
Throwing on the emergency brake,
Engineer Watson shouted to his fire.
man to jump. The enginemen
emerged from their respective sides of
the locomotive. Hendricks had
struck the ground when the impact
from the collision swung the baggage
car to one side, striking him. The
passengers were given severe shak-
ing up and for time it appeared
that several of the women passengers
would go into Mysteries. None, how
ever, was injured and save for a
couple of the ladies declining to con-
tinue their journey and couple more
suffering to some extent from the
fright of the shock, the passengers
were soon Gained.
Road Master Mungavin of the
Northern Pacific was on the scene and
with a crew of men cleared up the
wreck so as to enable the passenger
train to proceed to St. Paul with but
an hours delay. The regular Great
Northern wrecking outfit arrived
about o'cock and soon cleared away
the debris of the wrecked engine and
cars. Engineer Watson, with another
engine, took the passenger train to
St. Paul.
Watson and Hendricks had been
on the st. Paul run for some time,
both being residents of that city.
Henricks was only "a years of age.
His remains were taken to St. Paul
on Saturday night for burial.
