Scores of People Meet Death

Scores of persons we're drowned
and a large number was injured at
Austin, Pa, on Saturday afternoon,
when the great dam of the Bayless
Pulp & Paper company, which held
back 500,00o,o00 gallons of water,
went out. The dam, great structure
$50 feet long and 40 feet high, was
built two years ago. It was of con-
crete, 81 feet wide at the base and
said to be constructed under the most
approved plans of modern engineer
ing. The break in the dam came
without warning and the great food
swept down into the valley, carving
everything before it. Hundreds of
buildings in Austin were torn from
their foundations and fire, which
broke out in many places simultane-
ously, added to the horror of the
scene. The natural gas pipes burst
and fed the flames and the sight was
appalling in the extreme. Austin had

Italians Shell Prevasa

Late dispatches from the seat of the
Italian-Turkish war say that Pre-
vesa, seaport on the coast of Trip
oil, has fallen after a heroic defense
by the Turkish garrison. With obso-
lete guns and protected only by the
cracked walls of antique fortresses,
the Turks withstood the bombardment
from the Italian fleet for many hours.
Although they must have known that
the fight was hopeless from the first,
the Turkish troops stood gallantly to
their guns. The shots from the
ancient, short-range ordnance guns
fell far short OF the warships but the
Turks obstinately refused to sur
render. It was only when the forts
had ceased to be anything but a pile
of ruins, when the governors palace
had been demolished and the military
barracks were blazing, that the gar
rison finally withdrew. They CON-
menced an orderly retreat towards the
hills but could not withstand the hail
OF shrapnel from the Italian ships.
They were forced to break their ranks
and flee to what shelter they could
reach. AS soon as the garrison was
abandoned the white flag was hoisted
over the ruined forts and the Italians
prepared to land.

Tim Plays q Trick on Penn.

G. 81. Pennison, previous to start
ing for Minneapolis on Saturday,
made arrangements with Herb Zim-
norman to meet him at O'Clock the
next morning in Elk River with his
(Pennison's) machine and convey him
home. Penn arrived at Elk River on
Sunday morning but no Zim was in
sight. He loafed around in that Quiet
town for an hour or so and as Zim
failed to put in an appearance he
started to hike toward Princeton,
thinking that perhaps Zim had mis-
taken the time and that he would meet
him on the way. He tramped and
tramped but no Zim appeared. Fin
ally he sat down to rest and cogitate
by the roadside and, while thus re-
posing, Swan Peterson came along in
his automobile. It was then O'Clock
in the afternoon. "What's the
matter?" inquired Swan? "Waiting
for Zim,' replied Penn: she
promised to meet me at O'Clock this
morning in Elk River and he hasn't
shown up yet. Probably met some
girl and didn't care a continental
about me after that. He can't have
my machine again. "You'd better
come home with me-" said Swan, and
Penn embraced the opportunity
instanter. u hate walkiug," de-
clared Penn, as he seated himself
comfortably in the machine; my feet
are sore and have sandburs crawl
ing up my legs. Zim probably thinks
he's playing joke on me, but I'll
turn the tables on him mighty quick.
l hereby resolve that the next time he
wants to borrow my machine to take
his Susie Jane out Joy riding he
won't get it," You can't blame Penn
for this resolution.

THE COUNTY BOARD
Appropriations From Road and Bridge
Fund Are Made to Townships
of TliIaca and Page.
Fourteen TILES of Road in Towns OF
Page and rlilaca Designated by
Board as State Highway.

The board of county commissioners
met on Tuesday morning and con-
cluded the work of the session the
same day. Following is a synopsis
of the proceedings:
The petition of Nels Rehaume to be
set off from school distrvict to 7, in
the town of Greenbush, was con.
sidered and granted.
D. N. Hunt presented a petition
asking that certain land owned by
him in Sherburne county be set of
from school district 10 in said county
and attached to district 1 in Mile
Laos county. The hearing was set
for November 2.
Elizabeth Gramer prayed to be set
off from school district IS to 7, and
the matter was laid over for investi-
cation.
The matter of county ditch No. 10,
in the town Of Borgholm, came up for
hearing and, as there was no opposi-
ton, R. S. Chapman was selected
to make the preliminary survey and
the following appointed as viewers
E. G. Grow, Greenbush; Jas. r. Ed
munds, Princeton; and Peter Jensen
Bogus Brook.
The commissioners agreed to give
the town of Milaca an extra appropri
alton of 5000 from the road and bridge
fund to aid in building steel anc
concrete bridge across Mike Drew
brook, at the foot of Stony hill.
An appropriation of S25 was al
lowed the town of Page to aid ir
making the necessary repairs to q
bridge across the Rum river.
A claim of S445 was presented by

allow the claim as presented but the
matter will be reconsidered provided
the work is approved by Assistan
Engineer Chapman.
Fourteen miles of road in the towns
of Page and Milaca, running north
and south, were designated as state

Admiral Schley Dead.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
dropped dead on Monday near the
corner of Forty-fourth street and
Fifth avenue, New York, while on his
way down town. He was born in
Maryland on October 9, 1889, and
entered the naval academy at Annapo-
lis in 1856. he was in active service
from the time of his graduation in
1860 uutil retired in October, 1901.
Previous to the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war Commodore
Schley was ordered on the Brooklyn
and given command of the flying
squadron" It was his squadron
which located the Spanish feet at
Santiago on May 20, 1898, and
blocked the harbor. On the morning
of July 2, 1898, Admiral Sampson,
who was the superior in command, de-
parted for Siboney, leaving Schley
in full command of the feet on board
of the flagship. Scarcely one hour
after the admiral's departure the
Spanish fleet emerged from the
sheltering harbor. Commodore
Schley directed the battle which fol-
lowed and which ended with the CON-
plete destruction of the Spanish feet.
Admiral Sampson did not return to
the New York until that afternoon.
He resumed command and afterward
claimed the credit for the victory.
Schley's action in the battle was
made the subject of an investigation,
but the experts found his action fully
justified and public opinion gave him
all credit due to him.

An Old Resident of BorghoIm Dead

John Westling, an old resident OF
Borgholm, died on the oath ult. at
Eden Valley. He had been sufferer
from diabetes for long time and
went to Fairhaven to consult a
doctor. From there he proceeded to
his brother-in-law's, John Hedin, at
Grove City, and MIR. Hedin started
with him on the return trip. Upon
reaching Eden Valley, however, be
was taken critically i'll and could pro-
coed no further. There he passed
away. The remains we're conveyed to
the family residence in Borgholm,
where funeral services we're conducted
by Rev. Dagner of Milaca last Friday
afternoon. The interment was in
Book cemetery.
John Westling was born at Karbole,
Gaheborg, Sweden, on August 3, 1857.
he came to America with his parents
in 1868 and settled near Becker, where
he lived until 1898, when be moved to

The Farce of Trust Busting.

The tobacco trust, according to re-
port, will dissolve into three corpora
tions, and something more than hal
the bonds will be retired, the re
mainder being divided among the three
new companies. Then we are told
that instead of the octupus we viii
have competition.
In other words, the majority
owners OF American Tobacco, who
also will be the majority owners o.
the Loriliard company and of the
Leggitt & Meyers company, will pro.
coed to take their own scalps: they
will enter into rivalry with them.
selves which will reduce their own
profits.
In the language of the Princeton
Union, "You can no more dissolve a
trust than a cockroach can haul a tor
of hay" Instead of these men con.
trolling one company, they will con.
troll three: instead of having the ma.
jority representation on one board oil
directors, they will have a majority
in three.
Instead of one set of high-priced
officers, one cost of administration,
there will be three. One cost of dis.
tribution and one cost of operation
will be replaced by three. Just where
do lower prices or a better grade OF
goods come in this for the consumer:
Yet this is just ten times better than
the thirty-three companies into which
Standard Oil is to be resolved, under
one ownership, but three and thirty,
or Whereabouts, expenditures for
management and operation. Such is
reform, such is the brilliant achieve
ment of the leaders of a people op-
pressed by the high cost of living.
The sugar trust will be similarly
disorganized, and even now the ad-
vantages of this are foretold in war
time prices. The harvester trust is to
voluntarily follow, and how much
cheaper will the farmer get his ma
chinery as a result?
Is not the farce element of this
being overdone? Is it not, maybe, a
fact that swollen wealth is submitting
to painful operation with a certain
grim and sardonic fortitude because of
the sweet revenge it knows will follow
in the still more painful stab that will
come to the already quivering flesh of
the people?
1t would seem that no more should
be necessary to prove that the need is
not dissolution, but regulation; regu-
lation of capitalization, of organiza-
ton, OF methods of management and
a complete publicity of every feature
OF organization, operation and prices.
This can come only through that
federal incorporation or license rec
commended both by ex-President
Roosevelt and President Taft. This

side and time was not taken out once
during the whole period of play.
Every man on the Princeton team
played to win and did his share
toward winning a hard-fought grid
iron battle.
The Elk River quarter got away for
a 60-yard run and would have tied the
score had not G. Stay overhauled him
from behind and brought him to earth
on Princeton's 10-yard line, and thus
saved the day for the locals.
When the ball was fumbled it was
comical to watch the players try to re-
cover the slippery pigskin, and it re-
minded one of the "catch the creased
pig' stunts that they used to pull off
at the crossroads gatherings.
Elk River has a good bunch OF
players but they stuck to the old style
of football and refused to attempt any
of the new stuff in the rain. On the
other hand Princeton uncorked some
of the newer brand of dope and we're
fairly successful in getting away with
it.
The Princeton legions lined up in
battle array as follows: Angstman,
left end: Kaufert, left tackle; Newton,
left guard; Smith, center; Small,
right guard; McDougle, right tackle
Fullwiler, right end; Umbehocker,
left half; G. Stay, right half: Pohl,
quarter; Clair Newton, quarter.

Nopha Again Defeated by Hass.

Last Friday night at the armory
Ben Hass again demonstrated that he
is able to hold his own with any of
them when it comes to wrestling. Joe
Nopha of Minneapolis was his op-
ponent and Ben won the match handi-
~ in straight falls. The first fall was
accomplished in "a minutes of rapid
work, Hass finally pinning Nopha's
shoulders to the mat with a body lock
hold. The second fall came much
easier, Hass downing his man in less
than five minutes with head chancery
hold. The match was an exciting one
and the fact that a $50 side bet was up
on the result made it all the more in
teresting.
Before the match stranger-Jack

a match, which was promptly &C
cepted, and it will be pulled off on
October -. Bell is larger and
heavier than Ben, but he will have TO
