raising by adding more cream pro-
duction. The cream business is not
subject to the uncertainties of any
other line of farm production and
crop failure in dairy section is un-
known.-Milaca Times.
Princeton business men have al
ready awakened to the Importance of
the dairy business. Two years ago
they subscribed 1880 in cash to
assist the farmers in getting a CO.
operative creamery. The creamery
has been built and is successfully
operated, but it could pro6tably
handle twice or thrice the amount of
cream it receives. The business men
of Princeton have done their share; it
is up to the farmers. The farmers
own and operate the creamery
business man owns a dollar of it's
stock-and it rests with them. There
is no heater or better equipped
creamery in the state than that of the
Farmers Cooperative creamery in
Princeton. The low prices for pota-
toes this spring will prove blessing
in disguise by giving a fresh impetus
to cream production in the territory
tributary to Princeton.

Anoka Dam Proposition Defeated.

At the special election held in
Anoka last week the proposition to
bond the city for the purpose of build
ing a dam to furnish water power on
the Rum river was defeated by $50 to
284. Nowadays people do a whole lot
OF thinking before voting to saddle an
Indebtedness upon themselves and
their children. Probably the dam
scheme at Anoka was all right and
might have resulted in great good to
the city, but as a general rule it is a
safe proposition to keep out of debt
no matter whether that rule is applied
to an individual or a municipality.

PYTHIAN RECEPTION
Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Chase Enter
tanned by X. p. Lodge Previous
to Leaving Princeton.
Pretty rlemento in Shape of Emblaz.
oned Ring Presented by rlem-
bers to Mr.. Chase.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. P. Chase we're on
Tuesday evening rendered farewell
reception by the Knights of Pythias
and their wives at the Castle Hall.
There we're about forty persons
present, who gathered to bid godspeed
to these good people. Several of the
lodge members made speeches ex-
pressing their regrets that Mr.. and
Mrs. Chase were about to leave
Princeton, where they had lived for so
many years and endeared themselves
to the community.
= Thos. F. Scheen, in neat speech,
presented Mr.. Chase, in behalf of the
lodge, with a gold ring upon which
was emblazoned the Pythian emblem,
and, in few words the veteran
member feelingly responded, saying
that it was with many regrets that he
and his wife left Princeton, but his
health demanded a change-he was
on the verge of nervous prostration.
Following the presentation ice cream
and cake were served and the even
ing's entertainment concluded with a
card party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chase left Princeton
yesterday morning and many people
we're at the depot to bid them adieu.
Mrs. Chase will visit in Anoka for a
few weeks while her husband will look
after his, property in Minneapolis.
They will then go to Saco, Maine,
near where, on the sea coast, they
have been rendered the use of a
cottage for the summer by an old
friend.
The people of Princeton regret very
much to see these good people leave,
but hope that Mr.. Chase's health will
be restored and that some time they
will again return to this village.

GETS BACK IT'S OWN
+Isanti Commissioners Grant Petition
Detaching Territory from the
Township of Wyanett.
Territory Affected Lies North of the
Rum River and Was Originally
: Part of Spencer Brook.

At special session of the board of
county commissioners of Isanti
county held at Cambridge on the Goth
inst, the petition of % legal voters of
the towns of Wyanett and Spencer
Brook, requesting that that portion
OF town IS, range Is, lying north of
Rum river be detached from the town
OF Wyanett and attached to the town
OF Spencer Brook, was favorably
acted upon. The territory detached
from Wyanett is as follows: nw4
and VIZ sw4 sec. l; all of sections 2,
5, 4, and 6;n19 neA sec. 8; M nw1
and ne4 sec. 9; NJ, NJ sw4 and M
seA sec. 10; NJ and M sw4 sec. IL;
nw4 sec. IL.
In connection with the above the
following resolution was unanimous
~ adopted by the board:
Whereas, that portion of township
50, north of range Is west, Isanti
county, Minnesota, belonging to the
township of Wyanett, was on the Goth
day of April, 1910, set off from said
town of Wyanett and attached to the
town Of Spencer Brook, said county
and state;
Therefore be it resolved, by the
board of county commissioners, that
all monies, funds and credits belong
ing to the town of Wyanett, be divld-
ed on the basis as follows, to-wit: IS
per cent to the town of Wyanett and
Is per cent to the town of Spencer
Brook.
In making this division, allowance
is to be made for any indebtedness, if
any, of said town of Wyanett, and the
county auditor is hereby directed to
ascertain from the town clerk of said
town, the amount of money in the
hands of the treasurer of said town,
together with the Indebtedness, up to
and including April 10th. 1910.
That all taxes received and collect
ed for said town for 1909, and prior
years at the settlements in June and
November, 1910, be divided in the
above proportions, and the county
auditor is hereby authorized and
directed to make the division as
aforesaid and transfer and distribute
the same to the respective towns, and
dra!Ht his warrants therefor.
The action of the Isanti county com
missioners simply gives Spencer
Brook back it's own. The territory
set off from Wyanett and attached to
Spencer Brook was originally part
of the latter town, but had been
attached to Wyanett about IS years
ago. There was no bridge across the
Rum at Spencer Brook in those days,
and the people living in the fraction

Brook lying north of the river
thought it would be more convenient
and advantageous to become identi-
fed with Wyanett township. Now
that the Rum is to be spanned by a
permanent bridge at Spencer Brook
the river is no longer regarded as
the natural northern boundary of
Spencer Brook township.

Greatest Copper Mine In the World.


Hampton's magazine for May con-
tains an interesting article entitled
"Shall Alaska Become a Morgan
heinz Barony:" On page GAL is an
illustration showing the camp of the
Mcclellan party, which discovered
the Bonanza copper mine, with fairly
good pictures of eight of the party in
Guiding r. F. Mcclellan, Herbert
Gates and Edward Gates. The great
mine, worth millions of dollars, is
now owned by the Morgan-Guggen-
helm syndicate, and by another year
will be reached by the Copper River
& Northwestern railroad.
It is estimated that there is Sc, OOO,-
600 worth of copper in sight at the
Bonanza mine. The original discov-
erers of the mine parted with it for a
mere fraction of it's value. simply be-
cause they had not the means to de-
velop it. Mr.. Mcclellan owned a
one-tenth interest in it and Herbert
anu EoWarQ GATES, >. u. lVerSOn and
r. G. Dunn each owned a one-twen-
tieth interest.
The Bonanza is the richest copper
mine in the world. If the original
owners could have held it and de-
veloped it they would have been all
millionaires.
Mr.. Mcclellan is at present at the
mine in charge of development work
for the syndicate; this is his second
year there. It is estimated that the
cost OF constructing the railroad from
the coast to the mine will exceed
$40, 600, 900, which goes to prove the
immense value of the copper deposit,

More Trouble at the Lake.

D. G. Wilkes and T. D. Anderson
were here yesterday in consultation
with County Attorney Ross and E. L.
Mcmillan regarding the conduct of O.
A. laden, who is alleged to have dis
charged a shotgun at these gentlemen
while they were performing their duty.
It appears from Mr.. Wilkes state
ment that he, Anderson and Brodeen
we're engaged in opening up road
which was laid out several years ago
and that it was necessary to remove
fence which laden had built in order
to do so. Ed. Kaliher was asked by
Mr.. Wilkes to remove this fence and
while SO employed Ladeen's son
appeared with shotgun and
threatened to shoot him. Mr..
Kaliher, however, prevailed upon him
to take the gun into the house and he
proceeded with his work of tearing
down the fence. Later Mrs. laden
appeared and went to the house for
the shotgun. Upon her return she,
too, threatened to shoot Kaliher, but
he took the gun away from her. Later
he returned it. laden was the last to
reach the scene. He had been away
from the house. At this time Messrs.
Wilkes, Anderson and Brodeen were
near the place with the grader and
laden proceeded to the house and
brought forth the gun. He swore at
the roadmakers and, taking aim, dis
charged the frearm, the shot striking
the ground few feet in front of Mr..
Wilkes. He (Ladeen) then returned
to the house, placed another charge in
the gun and shot at the men again.
The second charge came near striking
Mr.. Brodeen. The men then moved
away and later laden closed up the
road by placing a pole across it.
Messrs. Wilkes and Anderson Sc
cured warrant for Ladeen's arrest
and Sheriff Shockley proceeded to
South Harbor yesterday afternoon
with Frank Goulding in his automo-
bile to bring Laden to Princeton.
laden was brought before Justice
Norton this morning and charged
with assault in the first degree. He
waived examination and his bonds
were fixed by Court Commissioner J.
F. Peterson in $500 to appear at the
next term of the district court. Coun-
ty Attorney Ross represented the state
and Chas. A. Dickey the defendant.

Rural Routes Liable to be Discontinued.
A government agent will be here
soon to inspect the five rural route
roads radiating from Princeton, and
the probabilities are that if some of
the roads are not improved several of
the rural routes will be discontinued.
The roads on rural route No. 4, in
both Mile Laos and Isanti counties,
are in deplorable condition, caused
largely by farmers blowing up the
roads. If that route is discontinued
the people who live along the route
will be solely to blame. The town.
ship auth critics are also derelict in
their duty in permitting the roads to
be torn up. Once rural free de-
livery route is discontinued it will be
no easy matter to have it re-estab-
lished.

Will the State Appropriation be Utilized?
Next Wednesday afternoon it is ex-
pected that there will be a large
attendance of the supervisors of the
several towns of the county at the
commissioners meeting to discuss
road matters. AS pointed out in the
U i three weeks ago, the state has
appropriated So, 800 for roads in Mile
Laos county, but it requires an ex-
penditure OF 81, 900 on the part of the
county to make the state appropria-
tion available, in other words the
state will pay only one-third of the
expense in improving any road and
the county must furnish the other two
thirds. The county road and bridge
fund is already overdrawn to the ex-
tent of $4,000. The towns must
furnish the necessary means if the
state appropriation is utilized.
Through apathy or Indifference the
county has already lost 81, 200 of state
road money that it might as we'll have
had as not, and if the So, 800 referred
to is lost it will be a long time in the
future before the state highway COM
mission will make another appropria-
tion for the Improvement of roads in
Mile Laos county.
