ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Road Across Baldwin Flats Will Be
Ready to Receive Coating Of
Crushed Rock nonday.
Frank Rean ard Assistants Engaged
in Grading Stretch of Sandy
Road at Silver Lake.

This week the Baldwin road across
the fats is being graded and sanded
preparatory to receiving it's coat of
crushed granite rock. AS soon as the
road is properly graded the rock
should be hauled without delay. The
hauling must be by volunteers. Let
every one do his part. There must be
no holding back. Every farmer who
is obliged to haul his produce over
that road to market is or should be
interested. The permanent improve
ment of this piece of road will be
worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of Spencer Brook and Bald
win.
Just as the Union is going to
press Supervisor Angstman of Bald
win informs US that the road will be
in condition for the crushed rock next
Monday. Now let the farmers get
busy and complete the job by Tuesday
evening. There ought to be Is teams
at work each day, besides force of
men will be required to assist in load
ing and unloading. Farmers should
use dump boards on their wagons as
it will expedite unloading. Get to
work bright and early Monday morn

Silver Lake Road.

Under the supervision of Overseer
Frank Rean good work is being done
on the Silver lake road. It is
the intention of Mr.. Rean to
have mile of this sandy stretch of
road, commencing at the village
limits, clayed and graveled, if the
town authorities and those interested
will cooperate. We sincerely hope
that Mr.. Rean's expectations will be
realized. Every encouragement
should be extended to those who are
inaugurating a campaign for better
highways. Let us have a system of
good roads radiating from Princeton.
Every dollar properly expended will
pay big interest to the business men
of our village and the farmers.

Terrible Catastrophe at White Bea,


A terrible catastrophe occurred at
White Bear lake last Friday morning
whereby three children lost their lives.
Hon. r. A. Walsh, a prominent st.
Paul lawyer, was engaged in filling
the tank of gasoline stove in his
summer cottage when there was a
binding flash that shot burning oil
and fame all over the room. In an
instant the lower room of the cottage
was seething mass of flames. Sarah
Walsh, girl of 16, who was in the
room with her father and mother and
sister Rose at the time of the ex-
plosion, although badly burned her.
self rushed upstairs and rescued two
OF her little brothers, but two brothers
and one sister-John aged five years,
Angelina aged four years and Robert
a nine months old baby-the little
heroine could not reach, and with her
clothing all ablaze she was obliged
to leap from second story window
to the ground. Mr.. Walsh, Sarah
and William-the latter also a little
hero who made every effort to save
his brothers and sister-were badly
burned and were conveyed to a St..
Paul hospital; they will recover. The
cottage and all it's contents was a
mass of smouldering embers twenty
minutes after the explosion.

Larger Prizes for County Exhibits.


For two years in succession Mile
Laos county was awarded first
premium for the best county exhibit of
products of the farm and garden at
the state fair. We know that it re-
quires large amount of hard work
and considerable money to make a
creditable county exhibit and we
agree with the Little Falls Transcript
that, "When the board of managers
of the state fair meet to arrange for
next years exposition it might be
we'll for someone to call their attention
to the skinny premiums hung up for
county exhibits as compared with the
prizes awarded for other attractions.
No less than $500 should 60 to the
winner in this contest. The gathering
and arranging of an exhibit is a task
which not only requires weeks of hard
labor and anxiety, but entails a
heavy expense. Morrison's premium
this year, Sill, is but small pro-
portion of what it cost to secure a
prize-winning exhibit. A prize of
81, 900 to $4,000 for an automobile
race is all right, but it does not aid in
selling Minnesota lands"
The Union congratulates our
neighboring county of Morrison on
it's splendid exhibit at the recent state
fair and rejOices to know that it was
awarded first place. Another of the
counties bordering on Mile Laos,
Aitkin, had fine exhibit of grasses,
grains, fruit and root crops.

Northern train moving at the rate of
so miles per hour near Concord,
Mont, on Monday. The Wood re-
ferred to is John Wood, son of Mrs.
Hiram Whittier. of Greenbush. this

many years. John is supposed to
have been asleep when he walked off
the train. He reached home yester-

slight bruises and scratches was none
the worse for his thrilling experience.
1t is surprising how John escaped
death or serious injury.

REORGANIZNG HILO REPUBLICANS

HILO, December 21-The Republican
County Committee held a meeting last
Tuesday evening at which arrange
ments we're made for the strengthening
of the organization of the party in va
rious ways. Chairman Beers presided,
while assistant secretary b. H. Brown
acted as secretary.
The chairman reported that he had
appointed the provisional committee
members as follows: Messrs. Ross,
Austin, Patten, Swain, Capellas, AZ
fonso and himself, and that all these
gentlemen had expressed their willing
ness to serve.
Beers asked the county committee
whether it had any suggestions to
make for the provisional committee to
act upon, as that organization would
hold a meeting two weeks from the
night of the meeting He stated that
the Republican members of the Board
of Supervisors would be invited to be
present at the meeting of the provi-
sional committee.
A. NJ. Cabrinha raised an objection
to the appointment of two members
from the same outside precinct, name
ly of Ross and Capellas from Hakalau,
on the provisional committee, He gave
as his reason the fact that in cases
where immediate action was required,
for instance, for the making of en-
dorsements for the filling of vacancies,
these two members could not be de-

Why Portuguese
Immigration
Was So Small

HILO, December 23.-M. A. Silva, OF
Honolulu, came up with the Portuguese
immigrants on Sunday, having just re-
turned from Madeira where he went
to help A. J. Campbell get the laborers
who arrived by the steamer Swanley.
While Campbell has been criticized in
Honolulu for not doing better work.
Silva sustains him against many of the
charges made, saying to the Herald
on Monday:
From three to four months elapsed
between the first bookings for the
steamer and her sailing, so that some
of the Portuguese were tired of wait
ing and withdrew their names. There
were plenty we could have brought but
they were not desirable 1t is a long
voyage to Hawaii and against this IS
the fact that a hundred men &c to Bos-
ton every month to work on farms.
"They get $25 a month and their
board, stay a couple of years, then
return to Madeira and their families
with money enough to buy land for a
home. II there were a line of steam
ers calling there every month and
landing migrants to come by Tehuan-
tepec we could easily get three hun
dred families on each trip. There were
more than $50, who had been examined
by the doctor and accepted, that back
ed out on account OF the long time they
had to wait.
''Storekeepers circulated false reports
about these island but the authorities
did not take any action either way.
1t must be remembered also, that con-
ditions are much better in Madeira now
than they were five years ago, so
thu" is not as much reason for people

soon as it would be required.
Chairman Beers ruled that at the
meeting of the County Committee,
when the matter of the membership
Of the Provisional Committee had
been brought up, the selection thereof
had been left to him as chairman, and
at that time the same objection had
been raised and had been overruled
by the vote Of the majority. The
membership would therefore remain
unaltered
Mr.. Rohnenberg moved that the sec

their membership rolls were wanted,

THE CHuD,s RATU

Some children are timid about ven.
turing into bath tub. Often the
fright comes from being plunged bold
ly into water that is either too cold
or too warm. Sometimes this plunge
is accidental. One woman solved the
problem by laying large Turkish
towel in the tub and providing a
small stool on which the child could
sit part of the time. This was found
very convenient when the little girl
was having her hair washed. Instead
Of filling the tub with water, put a
little in. The use of the bath towel
to prevent slipping is also suggested
for elderly persons, especially II you
do not have a gum mat for this pur-
pose.-Indianapolis News.
