G. A. Nye Visits Princeton.

MIR. C. A. Nye, of Moorhead, the
democratic candidate for judge of the
district court of the Seventh judicial
district, was in town between trains
yesterday and met several of our
citizens, all of whom were favorably
impressed by his manner and appear
ance. Mr.. Nye is brother of Con-
gresham Nye of Minneapolis, also
brother of the famous humorist, the
late Bill Nye. Mr.. Nye thinks that
the custom that has heretofore pre-
vailed in the Seventh district of
electing republican and democratic
judge should be continued, thus
divorcing the judiciary from politics.
Ever since the Seventh district has
had two judges one has been a repub-
lican and one democrat.

INSPECTION OF ROADS
Assistant State Engineer J. H. Mullen
Inspects Roads and Bridges in
Vicinity of Princeton.
Pleased With Work on Roads in
Princeton Township but Finds
Fault With Other Work.

Mr.. J. 81. Mullen, assistant engi-
neer of the state highway commission,
was in town Tuesday and inspected
the graveled road in north Prince
ton, the road which County Com
missioner Cater had covered with
crushed rock and gravel between the
village limits and Brickton, the state
experimental road south of the vii
lage, the road across the Baldwin
flats and the new bridge across the
Rum river at Spencer Brook.
Mr.. Mullen was highly pleased at
the manner in which the work was
done on the two first mentioned roads;
the road leading to Bogus Brook he
said would need a little attenti on
occasionally, and he thought the split
log drag was just the thing to keep it
in proper condition.
The state experimental road south
of the village in Baldwin was not in
as good condition as he had seen it..
He left directions to have it leveIed
off with a split log drag and to apply
coating of straw if same could be
had.
He was far from satisfied with work
done on the road across the Baldwin
flats, especially that part of it where
the crushed rock had been covered so
deeply with clay. The road authori-
ties of Sherburne county will
probably hear from him.
Mr.. Mullen spent couple of hours
on the Spencer Brook bridge. On the
whole he pronounced the bridge a
good, safe structure, but be pointed
out several minor defects that will
have to be remedied. Mr.. Mullen is
gentleman who thoroughly under
stands his business, and if he does
not find things as they should be and
as the contracts call for be has no
hesitation in saying so. What the
state needs and must have is forty or
fifty more experts like Mr.. Mullen to
give personal attention to road and
bridge Improvement. -
MIR. Mullen concluded that, all
things considered, it might be as we'll
to delay work on the Germany road
until early next spring. He says the
crushed rock will be forthcoming then.
He expects and will insist upon good
work being done on that road and is
afraid that it is too late to tackle the
job this fall, especially as there is so
much traffic on the road at this season
of the year.

Tobacco In Sherburne County.

Sherburne county is coming to the
front in tobacco raising, fully so acres
having been grown in the county this
season. The dry year has been
favorable to the crop which is now
safely harvested and experts pro-
nounce the quality good. This is the
fourth crop raised in this part of the
state and the results are so satisfac-
tory that it is expected the acreage
next year will be greatly increased.

COWAKDLY WORK.

Dietz' Son and Daughter Are Wounded by
Deputy Sherifs-Dletz' Cabin Is Sur
rounded by Gordon OF Deputies
| Efforts Being Made to Induce
Him to Surrender Today.
The shooting of the Dietz girl and
her brother by deputy sheriffs is not
only to be deplored but is an outrage
which scarcely has a precedent. The
deputies declared that young Dietz
was reaching for his gun but this has
been denied. When commanded to
throw up his hands by the deputies
Clarence Dietz says that the horses
became frightened and he had diff
Guilty in handling them. Almyra
Dietz corroborated this in the follow
ing words: "They leaped on US;
they told US to hold up our hands;
they called us vile names. I screamed
to Clarence to obey, and 1 tried to
hold up my hands, but the bullets
struck us and the horses plunged and
reared. Clarence could not hold up
his hands because the horses were try
Ing to run away. Father warned US
all never to resist arrest, as we had
nothing to fear from any criminal
action. I never had revolver, for I
can't shoot one" There appears
to be no excuse whatever for the
action of the deputies, but the chief
blame evidently lies with Sheriff
Madden.
An effort is being made to induce
John Dietz to surrender to the
authorities today and a peace envoy
has gone to his home for that pur-
pose. If Dietz refuses to surrender
the Gordon Of deputies surrounding
his cabin will open fire at once and
there can only be one result-the an
Inhalation of the family in the cabin.
It is thought if Dietz is assured of
fair trial that he will surrender.

The bad spots on the main road to
Princeton on the north side of the
river in Spencer Brook township have
been treated to a liberal coating OF
straw this fall, for which Herman
Lowell, the road overseer, is largely
entitled to the credit. But the con-
tinuation of the Spencer Brook road
through the northeast corner OF
Baldwin township, especially the
stretch east of John Foote'S residence,
has been sadly neglected.

AGENTS Change Point Of Vfese
Dealers Are Becoming More Conservative ano
Safeguarding Their Future Interests

That agents still have firm belief in the
stability of the industry is evidenced by the
large number OF men applying from every
section for agency work for US we nave
received to date more applications IMAM
during any previous season, but we notlce
they are coming in to us from a more sub
stantia! class of dealers. The automobile
agent may encounter many difficulties. de
is likely to secure q line of cars. spend
several years at hard work introducing the
car and making it popular. spending MS
profits each year to build a more substan-
tiaI foundation for the next season, ana
then find himself in a peculiar predicament
when the company whose cars he handles
goes out of business and he is unable to
secure anv replacement parts to help con-
tinue the life of the he has sold. to
say nothing of his wasted time ana energy
This is what is causing more conSerVa-
tism on the part of those dealers who are
building up a permanent business, and we
believe this season and next are gong 10
reflect to greater degree than ever before
the change in the point of view OF agents
We believe that it is good thing Tor the
business that the agents are getting wise
II will help to put it on a stable and solid
foundation and the agent who has line OF
cars which have merit and who is backed
hv a company whose resources are Wen
known can stop this worrying about the
future and about whether the car he is
selling this year will be the same one ne
sells next year.
