The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1911-03-02

Duluth has been experimenting
with scheme to assist worthy .nem-
ployed laborers and it has worked
we'll in two directions. The Asso-
ciates Charities established a rock
pile where all those who sought work
were offered job breaking large
stones into small ones. Many were
glad to get work even at stone break
ing, but there were others who de-
clined the offer. AS a consequence
the police got after the ".laborers'
of the latter class and arrested them
for vagrancy, with the result that
some Of them were cast into jail while
others were permitted to leave the city
under suspended sentences. An in
dustrial institution in the shape of a
rock pile is good thing for any city
to maintain-it answers a double pur-
pose.

The Long Prairie Argus saws.

The Long Prairie Argus says. a
southern Minnesota editor laments
that the state immigration society
brings new settlers right through, that
part OF the state and gets them into
the newer sections, and the conse-
quence is that the southern counties
are losing in population. But there
is not much hope of settling up a
country rapidly where land is held at
hundred dollars an acre.-Stillwater
Gazette. T..
Very true. Prospective settlers
people looking for farm lands-would
be foolish indeed to pay 800 per
acre for farms in southern Minnesota
when they can purchase them in the
northern part of the state for less than
a fourth of the price. Then, again.
in northern Minnesota they have the
advantage of securing fertile virgin
soil, while in the southern part Of the
state much Of the land is%worked out.
