The oyster season has been open for
the past fifteen days, but reports from
nearly every section represent the
oysters as poor and the prospect for a
successful year unpromising. It Is said
that the new regulations governing
the packing OF shucked oysters will
put all the small packers out Of the
business.
The weather here for the past three
or four weeks has been unusually
warm and dry. The farmers have man
aged to save good crops of hay and

Special Rates to state Fair.


Special rates on all railroads from
stations in Minnesota have been made
for all who will attend the Minnesota
state fair. Every railroad leading
into Minneapolis and st. Paul will
charge one and one-half fare for the
round trip, or three cents a mile.
This action was taken at the last
meeting of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION when the managers of the
passenger traffic on all the lines voted
to make this special concession on
account of the three state fairs, those
of this state, Iowa and Wisconsin.
No other state fairs in the country are
favored in this way, which is q pretty
clear endorsement of the Importance
of the Minnesota state fair. Not even
has this special rate been granted to
delegates who will attend the forth
coming conservation congress, al
though as the state fair and the con-
servation congress will make the twin
cites the news center of the nation
during the big week of September 5, a
special reduction will probably be
made so as to include every visitor to
.bothsof the great events.

interesting points necessary to bring
the study into the requirements de-
manded for the first year.
Many of the county teachers have
already passed the examinations and
qualified in this beneficial branch.
Let every teacher go and do likewise.
It will probably be required by law
within two years, and if taken up and
followed at this time there will be no
necessity for a scramble at the last
moment as was evidenced in the read
ing circle work at the August exami-
nation.
Schools have all been supplied in
this county for the ensuing year.
No teachers certificates or d.
plomas are valid until they are duly
recorded in the Office of the county
superintendent. This law has been
evaded in the past and school boards
are asked to see that the requirements
are complied with. Guy Ewing,

The Misses Atkins Turkish Student.

The Misses Atkins Turkish Student
For some time it has been known
that young Armenian girl was ex-
pected to arrive at the Atkins home
here for the purpose of getting an
education in the Elk River schools.
Her name is Herignaz Hovaglmian,
and her arrival last Friday awakened
considerable interest among the
young people, largely because of her
acquaintance with Miss Eunice Atkins,
Elk Rivers missionary at Erzroom,
Turkey. Miss Hovagimian made the
journey alone from Constantinople to
Elk River, and appears to have been
amply able to look out for herself.
She is l6 years old, and had the mis-
fortune to lose her father in one of
the early Armenian massacres. This
young lady expects to be a student
here for five or six years and will
prepare herself for a teacher among
her own people. The qualification of
this ambition is being made possible
by the generosity of the Misses
Atkins.-Elk River Star-News.

1t is the desire of the department
and the county superintendent that
agriculture and the study of the con-
struction of better highways be taken
topicaliy at stated intervals in all
schools of this county. Some of the
more progressive school boards have
placed agriculture in the institutions,
and it has become a part of the
course of study for the coming year.
Many good text books are already
published on the subject and graded
to suit the demands of the rural

81 pickerel and five black bass. The
boys all fished from one boat and il
proved to be rickety craft. J.
Jones of Nebraska, while engaged in
landing whopper, became excited
and leaned over the side too far.
The result was that the boat careened
and Mr.. Jones struck the water head
first and also the mud below it.
George Weisbrod caught hold of his
feet and he, too, slipped overheard.
Then the rest of the boys, in an
attempt at rescue, turned over the
boat and all received a good soaking.
Luckily the water was not deep and
we are consequently not called upon
to write a string of obituaries.

Complete the Job at Once,

A force Of men and teams are en-
gagged in hauling crushed rock from
the railroad yards to the Baldwin
road. Now we hope the road will be
put IN a passable condition without
any further delay. There should be a
top-dressing of gravel applied if no
more screenings can be had. Com
p1ete the job in good shape and do it
now. If the county will not provide
a top-dressing for the rock the town of
Baldwin ought to. When once the
work is properly finished that stretch
of road will be thing of joy to the
farmers who are obliged to travel
over it, and at a small expense, prob
ably not to exceed 1925 annu-
ally, it can be kept in excellent con-
dition at all seasons of the year.
But there should be no further delay
in completing the work on this road.
Finish it up, and do it now.

Stand by President Bryson,

At last the right man is at the head
of the Mile Laos County Agricultural
society, and the U nj is willing to
go on record as predicting that if
President Bryson is properly backed
up by the society and the citizens of
Princeton generally the fair this fall
will be a decided improvement over
any fair of previous years, and that
by 1911 we will have the best grounds
and the best fair of any society in
northern Minnesota. It will require
means to enable Mr.. Bryson to make
good, but the means must be forth
coming. All boost for our county
fair and back up President Bryson in
every way possible. Knock the
knockers and boost the fair.

IS DOING GOOD WORK
Andrew Bryson, Assisted by a Crew
of lien. Placing Fair Grounds
In Ship Shape Order.
Structures Being Rebuilt and Strength
ened, Fence Erected and Other
Improvements Made.

A great transformation is taking
place at the Mile Laos county fair
grounds under the direction of
Andrew Bryson-extensive improve
ments are being made in every direc-
ton. The main building has been re-
paired, and the grand stand strength
ened so that there will be no fear of
collapse. A careful examination OF
the grand stand convinced Mr.. Bry-
son that new supports we're necessary
and he ordered them put in. The
Judges stand has been Strengthened
up and new backstop put in at the
ball grounds. A new band stand is
also among the improvements and the
track fence has been repaired.
The old cattle and horse sheds on
the south side of the grand stand have
been taken down and rebuilt in a SUBJ
stantial manner on the north side. A
double-ply felt roof has been put on
these buildings and the interior is as
commodious as it can possibly be
made. The sheep and hog pens have
also been rebuilt on the north side of
the grounds and Mr.. Bryson has put
in sliding doors for convenience sake.
He has also built a chute for unload
ing cattle, sheep and hogs. The &C.
commodation for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs is now all that could be de-.
sired. A new building for the ticket
Office has been purchased and will be
placed in position within few days.
AS to the race track, it has been
placed in fine condition by that king
of road builders, Sid. Cravens. He
has graded it up with a clay compost
ton that any horse can easily travel
over. The track is all that could be
desired. Mr.. Cravens has also been
awarded contract to grub out the
trees inside of the track, which will
constitute great Improvement.
a wire fence is being erected
around the entire grounds. A slant
ing extension will be placed on top
with three rows of barbed wire to
prevent the INSCRIPTIONS from gain
ing admission without paying their
fare.
In the fair grounds as at present
constituted are included a pretty
grove of trees covering about three
acres which Mr.. Bryson expects to
fence in for the convenience of visi-
tors to the fair-a place where they
may eat their luncheons or otherwise
enjoy themselves. This is a good
idea.
W. G. Fredericks, Joe feathers, S.
A. Cravens and Henry McCue are
working under the direction of Mr..
Bryson in fixing up the grounds.
The board of directors could
scarcely have selected a better man
than Mr.. Bryson to superintend the
remodeling of the fair grounds. he
is familiar with the work, having
been, upon more than one occasion,
employed in the erection of structures
at the state fair grounds. That he
we'll understands his business is fully
manifested by the work which he is
executing upon the grounds of the
Mile Laos County Agricultural so.
