TIE SAME OLD STORY
Settlement of Northern lille Laos
County Retarded Owing to
Lack of PassabIe Roads.
The Great and Paramount Issue in
Northern Minnesota is the
Question of Good Roads.

Il Bishop McGolrick of Duluth and
bishop Trobec of st. Cloud are in
teresting themselves. in a project to
colombo northern Mile Laos county
with thrifty settlers; and the story is
we'll told in the Onamia Lake Breeze.
But the one great drawback is lack of
passable roads. The same condition
exists in every county in northern
Minnesota. Mr.. F. 81. Murray of St..
Paul, who has charge of the details of
the colonization work pertinently
remarks:
THE one great obstacle that we
have encountered is the lack of roads.
That great portion of the lands
are inaccessible, from any direction,
and that it is extremely difficult for
that reason to show the lands to the
prospective settlers. Mr.. Murray
states that it will take the society not
longer than three years to settle every
alternate eighty if roads are pro-
vided."
Us not the Union JUSTIFIED in saying
hat the great and paramount issue in
Minnesota especially in northern
Minnesota is the question of secur-
ing passable highways?

Send in Your Application.

According to an announcement
made on Saturday at the census
bureau, Washington, the supervisors
of the census of the country will re-
ceive and consider the applications
of those who contemplate applying
for positions as census enumera-
tors. Any person of good judg-
ment, who has received an ordi-
nary common school education, can
readily meet the test to be given
applicants.
Application forms, with full
instructions as to filing in and COM
plete information concerning the test
and the method of appointment, can
be secured by writing to the super
visor of census for the supervisors
district in which the applicant lives.
All applications, properly filed in,
must be filed with the supervisors not
later than January 25, as any received

own seven-eighths of the wealth of the
United States. The other SO per cent
of them must be satisfied with the beg
carly crumb of one-eighth, divided
among them all. Few or none of
them can own stock.
At the time the statistics were
gathered the average wealth of the
families who constitute only the
hundredth part of the population was
slightly more than a quarter of a
billion dollars; that of the families
who constitute ninth of the popula-
ton was slightly less than $3.50 a
family. More than half of the whole
nation led the hand-to-mouth existence
of poverty.
It probably is safe to assume, there
fore, that only one person out of ten
will feel the tax directly. But, just
as Alexander Hamilton once stated
that the tariff duty would ever be
reckoned in making up the cost to the
ultimate consumer, so will the COR
poration tax be reckoned as one of
the expenses of business and added to
the cost of production.

House and Contents Burn.

A house occupied by Mrs. Ray
Leach and family, situated in the
pines across the river, was destroyed
by fire on Saturday morning at about
5 O'Clock. All of Mrs. Leach's be-
longings were burned, including the
children's clothes and a small sum of
money-a little over five dollars.
The case is one deserving of charity,
as the woman, with family of nine
children, most of them small, is left
practically homeless.
The building was mere shack and
it did not take long for the fire, which
is supposed to have resulted from a
defective hue, to consume it. In
rescuing the children Mrs. Leach's
hair took fire and her head was badly
burned: An insurance of $500 was
carried on the house, which was owned
by Burdick & Armstrong of New
York, in Guy Ewing's agency.

Biggest Basket in the World,

Recently the Ponca Indians made a
monster basket, which is declared to
be the largest one in the world. It is
six feet high, twenty feet in circum-
ference, and weighs 1926 pounds. It is
made Of ozier twigs, very skillfully
intertwined so as to hold any kind of
fine grain. Mendocino county
abounds in oak forests, which pro-
duce great harvests of acorns, of
which the Indians are very fond.
Hundreds OF bushels of acorns are
gathered and stored in baskets for
long rainy days. Every family
should have case of golden grain
belt beer in their cellar and should be
served regularly with their meals.
Order case today of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by Sjoblom

The Corporation Tax

The corporation tax, the details for
the collection OF which recently have
been made public, will not fall upon
any large percentage of the American
people in a direct way, although the
corporations may be able Indirectly
to shift the burden to all the people.
Statistics show that l per cent of
the American people own 54.8 per cent
of the property of the nation, and that
1913 of the remaining SO per GENT own
1872 per cent of the remaining prop
erty. From this it. will be seen that
fewer than one-ninth of the. people

]. JOHNSON'S STORY
Swan Peterson Rigs Up AutosIed aud
Takes a Bunch of Princeton
Sports to the Lake.
AL. NUM- Appears on the Scene and
Catches Pile of Fish With
Kaiser's Magic Dope.

Swan Peterson was the first man in
Princeton to get an automobile and,
to demonstrate This ability to do
things, decided to be the first one to
have an autosled. AS Swan is fine
machlnist he had no difficulty in ad-
justing a pair of runners and putting
a spiked wheel on the rear axle.
On Saturday he went forth with his
machine, taking with him C. A. Jack,
Doc. Neumann, Henry Avery, E. L.
Mcmillan and Joe Johnson. Stanch-
field lake was their destination and
they made it at mile-a-minute clip.
Joe johnson was stationed in the
woods near the Gates farm with in
structions to fire three times if
gamewarden appeared and twice if
such alarm proved to be false. Each
of the others was provided with
gunnysack and a double-bitted axe
the latter to be used for cutting
holes in the ice and, if necessary,
soaring gamewardens.
They had chopped their holes and
were fishing with tip-ups, contrary to
the statute, when three shots were
fired. All of the boys jumped into
the autosled and were almost out of
sight when recalled by two more shots.
Joe thought he saw a couple of game
wardens, but they proved to be Fred
and Ben Hass, who we're also out for
wrestle with the fnny monsters-at
least both of them we're armed with
spears of prodigious size. Fred and
Ben we're welcomed, two more holes
cut and Swan Peterson slipped into
one of them. He was at once pulled
out and the icicles removed from his
clothing, but he stuck to his Job lust
the same.
Al. NUM-, who was out collecting
for the Galley Hardware Co., then put
in an appearance and pulled from an
inside pocket package of stuff that
looked like dynamite, but it proved
to be incombustible. Al. said that
he was presented with the recipe for
making the stuff by the emperor of
Germany, with whom he had been on
many a fishing trip. He placed a
small quantity in each hole and there
was Immediately great commotion
the water was agitated and fish be-
gan to leap from the apertures in
punches of six and seven. Every sack
was filled within very short time
and the autosled fishing party returned
to Princeton and distributed the fruits
of it's labors.
AL. NUM- has been offered fifty dol
lars for the recipe, but says it is one
of the German state secrets and, we're
he to divulge it, the next time he
went to the vaderland and called on
der kaiser his majesty would chop
his blasted head off.

TWO CALLED BEYOND.
Andrew j. Cater, Former Resident
of Princeton, Dies at Home of
Daughter on Monday.
T1rs. William T. Francis, Following a
Long Illness, Passes Away
in Princeton Township.

Andrew J. Cater died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. T. D. Mullin, at
27O2 Aldrich avenue, Minneapolis, on
Monday morning, December 20, aged
81 years months. The remains we're
taken to Wilbur, Washington, by his
sons, Charles and Joseph, for burial.
Mr.. Cater was born at Darlington,
New Hampshire, on March II, 1928.
He lived on his fathers farm until Is
years of age and then went to Massa-
chusetts, where he learned the carpen-
ter's trade, and followed that occupa
ton until he came to Princeton in 1867,
when he located on a farm in sction 80,
containing two hundred and sixty
acres, and lived there until 1884. He
then moved to Herman, Grant county,
and remained there five or six years,
when he went to the state of Washing
ton to reside. During the last few
years Of his life he has made his home
with his children in various parts of
the country.
Mr.. Cater was married in Massa-
chusetts previous to his coming to
Princeton, and his wife died few
years ago.
Many of the old settlers of Prince
ton and vicinity will kindly remember
Andrew j. Cater. He was a genial,
square-dealing man and was held in
high esteem by all his neighbors and
acquaintance. In the civil war he
served as a union volunteer.
During his II years. residence in
Princeton township he served several
terms on the town board and filled
other positions of trust. He is the
last of four brothers who were among
the first white settlers of Mile Laos
and Sherburne counties-M. V. B.
Cater, Joseph L. Cater and Joshua
Cater all preceded him to the unknown
land.
He is survived by two sons and four
daughters, viz, Joseph, Spokane,
Washington; Charles W., Herman,
Mimi; Mrs. Abbie S. Mullin, Mime
apolis: Mrs. E. W. Lee, Mrs. W. M.
Shufeldt and Mrs. Harry Shirk, state
of Washington.

Private Prayer.

The late Bishop Hare of South
Dakota often, in his sermons, brought
out point with an apt story.
These religious and INSCRIPTIONS
tinanciers,' he said in a winter dis
course n Deadwood, "remind ne of
little Philadelphia girl I know.
This little girl insisted, at bedtime, on
saying her prayers by herself. She
was allowed to do so. Later her
mother asked her why she had de-
manded this right of private prayer.
For long time the little girl refused
to answer, but finally, after much
coaxing she said: I jes' wanted to
give tanks for bein' flowed to steal
some Christmas fruit cake. y

Lose Their Bearings.

Bill Nicely is now manager of the
local gymnastic club. which has it's
headquarters at the armory, and when
he sends the members forth to perform
outdoor sprints they have to go even
though the snow be six feet deep. He
recently dispatched Fred and Ben
Hass on ten-mile trot across coun-
try and, had it not been for farmer
whom they interrogated, they would
probably be trotting yet. 1t seems
that the boys lost their bearings and
we're in the vicinity Of Maple Ridge
when they believed they were on the
home tack and nearing Princeton.
The next time they go on a jaunt of
this sort they will carry compass.
