practice and he found it necessary to
seek other quarters. In this he was
fortunate. indeed, for he succeeded in
purchasing the commodious dwelling
house formerly occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. E. B. Anderson. Had this
building been erected for hospital it
could not have better met the require
ments. It has all the necessary con-
veniences-a sewer system. good water
and broad screened porches upon
which the patients may sit aid rest
Workmen are now engaged in making
the necessary internal changes and the
Institution will probably be ready to
receive patients within a week or ten
days.
The following brief description will
give the reader an idea of the interior
arrangement: On the ground floor
there are two rooms for patients,
operating and sterilizing rooms. with
air space between to deaden any
possible sound: housekeeper's room,
nurses dining room, kitchen, public
waiting room, nurses sitting room,
patients sitting room, janitor's room
and four lavatories. Everything is
being furnished and arranged with a
view to convenience and a perfect
sanitary condition.
On the second floor is the Eastern
Star room-a room furnished by that
order with quarter-sawed golden oak
bureau, commode, tables, artistic
rugs, curtains and everything calcu-
lated to make life for the patients
pleasant. This was equipped by the
ladies of the O. E. S. as compliment
to DR.. and Mrs. Cooney and they
greatly appreciate the kindness.
There is also upon this floor room
which was furnished by the friends of
Dr.. and Mrs. Cooney during their
absence in the east as a mark of
respect and appreciation Of the doc
tors good work. It was indeed an
agreeable surprise to them, for neither
had received an inkling of what was
in store. This room is furnished with
a golden oak bureau with oval mirror,
brass bedstead with improved
mattress, rocker and other chairs,
wicker couch and pillows, adjustable
invalid's stand, silver-plated tray,
bell, pictures, screen, curtains,
bureau; commode, tables and sup
ply of bed linen and towels. In fact
it is equipped with every article neces-
sary in sick room.
The mems ward and other rooms,
including the nurses bedroom, bath
room, etc., are also on this floor.
The attic will be used as a storeroom.
Altogether there will be accommo-
dation for fourteen or fifteen patients
in the hospital, making it one of the
most commodious in the northwest.
The hospital has polished hard
wood floors in most of the rooms, is

Would be Ample Revenue.

It would be better to recognize the
truth manfully, which is, that if the
duties on the necessaries of life are
cut down to what they ought to be,
there will be ample revenue. It is
these that bring in the money. Re-
store competition by giving them a
chance in our market, reduce expenses
decently, and the treasury will have
more money than it knows what to do
with.-Red Wing Republican.

SAMUEL CLARK DEAD
He Was an Old Resident of Princeton
Who Had Reached Advanced
Age of Eighty-Five.
Mrs. Ellie Wallace, Who Formerly
Lived In This Village, Passes
Away at ShevIin, r1inn.

Samuel Clark died at 3 O'Clock a..
z. On Saturday, July 3, at the ripe
Old age of IS years. Up to within a
year he was healthy and robust, when
he became afflicted with a complica-
ton of rheumatism and Bright's
disease and for six months prior to
his death had suffered intense pain.
Funeral services we're conducted at
the family residence on Tuesday
morning by Rev. G. Larson, who
preached a very impressive sermon.
The interment was in Oak Knoll
cemetery.
Samuel Clark was born at Canaan,
Maine, on January -, 1924, and was
married at Conwell, in the same state,
to Miss Anna Golf on April %, 1867.
In 1871, with his wife, he came to
Minnesota and settled on farm in
the town of Blue Hill, where the
family lived for a number of years,
and then moved into the village OF
Princeton. He is survived by widow
and two sons-F'rank, who resides in
Colorado, and Fred, who lives at
home.
Mr.. Clark, who by trade was a
carpenter, had always been an indus
trious, honest man, but he had not
succeeded in accommodating much OF
this worlds goods, and for the
reason, perhaps, that he placed too
much confidence in his fellowmen. At
his death he was in poor circum.
stances, but he leaves a host OF
friends who will miss his kindly face.

ISSUE BONDS FOR
COAST EXTENSION
NoRTHwEsTERN's DIRECTORS
ABOUT READY TO BEGIN CON.
srRucTIoN WORK.

A Chicago dispatch of November 27
says the directors Of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company have
decided that il will soon become necss-
sary to extend that road to the Pacific
Coast in order that it may continue to
be strong competitor of the st. Paul
and the Burlington roads.
With this end in view the company is
preparing to issue approximately $780,
900, 600 worth Of new stock, which is in
the ratio Of one to four Of outstanding
stock.
1t Is also known, though not admitted
by the company's officials, that an ap-
proval has been given for construction
of at least 1900 miles of road to be COM
pleted within the next two or three
years, 1t is known through Western
Senators that the company has com-
pleted and approved surveys OF lines
to three important Pacific Coast
podnts--nameiy. Portland, Seattle and
San Francisco.
In connection with the proposed
Issue OF new sock, II Is remember
ed that tho st. Paul's first move to-
ward the Pacific Coast extension was
the issuing OF exactly the same
amount OF new stock.
At WeiSer. ida, according TO Q
dispatch IN Portland paper. u 10
believed the recent sale OF the Pay.
cite a Idaho Northern was to some
holding company for tho Northwest.
ern. and that the p. a |. N. will be
extended north to a junction with
the main line OF the Northwestern
down the Salmon river, and south
west across Central Oregon to q
junction with the western Pacific
and on to San Francisco.
There % very little reason to long.
or doubt that both the North Coast
and the Pittsburg Gilmore and
veys are for the Northwestern .
Coast extension.
