OF Interest to Princeton People.

Last May the village council
granted franchise to the Eastern
Minnesota Power company of Pine
City to erect and maintain poles,
masts, wires, etc., for the purpose of
furnishing light, heat and power by
the means of electricity to the village
of Princeton. At the time attention
was called to the fact that there was
litigation pending relative to the
water power at Pine City. Last week
the state supreme court handed down
decision Of which a summary is
given in the Pioneer Press as follows:
DR.. Longstreet of St. Paul, owner
Of a private sanitarium on Lake Po-
kegama, and other property owners
in that section, whose lands have been
overfowed by the dam of the Pine
City Electric company, secured relief
under decision of the supreme court
in the case of Henry L. Simons vs..
Emil Munich ct al.
The Chengintatonna dam is the
source of the litigation. It was built
across Snake river, in Pine county.

act Of the territorial legislature, ap-

An Imperative Road Improvement

AL imperative 1>Odu 1"pTOVe"euC.
Something must be done to improve
that stretch of road between the East
Branch bridge and the foot of the
Coates hill. At present it is in a de-
plorable condition-mud and slush
from six inches to foot in depth.
How can it be otherwise with the
center of the road from six inches to a
foot lower than the sides? It is i'm.
possible for the water to run off, and
there it remains until it is absorbed
by the slow process of evaporation.
This piece of road in question should
be graded and graveled without de-
lay and we feel assured the taxpayers
of the village will sanction any
reasonable expenditure by the village
council for that purpose. Hundreds
of dollars have been expended in i'm.
proving the hill and the road beyond,
and now it is up to the village to put
in proper condition the stretch be-
tween the bridge and the foot of the
hill. We repeat, the taxpayers of the
village will stand for the Improvement
of that piece Of road-provided the
work is properly done at a reasonable
expense.

school Board Organizes,

On Saturday morning the members
OF the Princeton school BOARD met an6
elected DR.. Small president, J. J,
Skahen secretary and E. L. Mcmillan
treasurer. The two last named
gentlemen succeeded themselves. The
following committees were appointed
Teachers-Messrs. Mcmillan and
Skahen: fuel-Messrs. Soule and
Small: repairs-Messrs. Newton and
Hummel. In addition Supt. Marshal
is an ex-oficio member of the board
whose duty it is to act with all com.
mittees and the directors.
The tax levy was fixed at $4,000
the same amount as last year.
Provision was made for the taking
OF the school census as required by
law, and Lisle Jesmer was employed
to do the work. Every child between
the ages of 6 and 16 years in the dis.
trict will be enumerated and for this
purpose Mr.. Jesmer will visit every
house. He is now engaged in taking
the census.

What About the Armoryc

Is Princeton to have an armory?
By providing site and raising
81, 900 in cash Princeton can have an
s11, 900 armory building. If the vii
lage furnishes the site and $1,000 the
state will put up $4,000 1t seems to
the . n o that it would be great
mistake on the part of the village not
to embrace the opportunity of secur-
ing such building at such small
cost. Steps should be at once taken
to provide the means to accept of the
states liberal offer. The money can
and must be raised either by SUBJ
scription or by taxation-the last
method is preferable. But action,
prompt action, is demanded.

Hitching Places for Farmers Teams.

Judge Keith made good sugges-
tion to the U reporter the other
day which should be acted upon with
out delay. It is this: utilize the
unused spur of a street.-The ap-
proach to the former bridge across
the Rum-between Main street and
the river as a place for farmers to
stand their horses. At a small ex-
pense hitching rails could be erected
on the north, east and south sides of
the spur in question, thus affording a
safe and convenient place for farmers
to hitch their teams. On busy days,
especially Saturdays, Main street is
crowded with teams from end to end:
the space indicated would care for
many teams and relieve the pressure
on the main thoroughfare. This is a
matter that the village council should
take in hand at once. It would cost
a mere trife to provide hitching rails,
clean up the debris and put the spur
in good shape for the accommoda-
tion of teams.

Great Northern Appeals From Ditch Order
IN leE IL

Great Northern Appeals From Ditch Order
On the final hearing before the
board of county commissioners on
July II in the matter of ditch No. 10,
in the towns of Borgholm and
Milaca, ThOs. r. Benton, attorney
for the Great Northern Railroad CON-
pany, appeared and made claim for
S239 damages by reason of the fact
that branch of the ditch would cross
the railway right of way about mile
and a quarter east of the Mjlaca de.
pot, and would necessitate the build
ing of new culvert at such crossing
calling for an expenditure of the sum
claimed. The board of county COM
missioners rejected this claim at the
final hearing and the railroad CON-
pany has appealed to the district
court from such order.
This will hang up the ditch matter
until this fall, for should the appeal
be allowed in full by the court, the
estimated cost of the ditch, plus
damages, will exceed the estimated
benefits and, according to the statute,
will knock the ditch out.

source of litigation.
The dam was usually used for sluic-
ing logs, but lately it has been en-
ployed to furnish power for the Pine
City Electric company, which bought
it in 1909. In 1903 the dam ceased to
be used for sluicing logs, and proper
ty owners feared it would be removed,
causing their lands to be inundated.
DR.. Taylor was especially interested,
so he intervened in the suit, alleging
that his property would be greatly
diminished in value should the dam
be removed or destroyed.
The court holds that the electric
company does not own a perpetual
easement to food the lands of the
plaintiff. Judgment of the lower
court is reversed and the case is re-
manded to the lower court, with
directions to amend it's conclusions of
law in accordance with the opinion.
The syllabus:
In an action of ejectment to recover
possession of land overAowed by the
backwater of dam where defendant
claims a perpetual right of overflow,
it is held:
That the conclusions of law to the
effect that defendant had acquired a
permanent easement to food the lands
of plaintiff by the maintenance OF
such dam for power purposes are not
sustained by the facts.
Judgment reversed.

Brick Market Dull.

This has been bad year so far ior
our brick manufacturers. Not more
than one-quarter the usual amount
has been turned out at the yards, and
there is no demand for the stock on
hand. Business in the brick line is
so dull here that Mr.. Ernest Sellhorn,
accompanied by his wife, has gone to
Red Cliff in Alberta to remain indef-
nitely: the plant in which Messrs.
Sellhorn & Woodcock are interested
in at Red Cliff cannot begin to supply
the demand. One of the reasons as
signed for the inactivity in the brick
business is the large amount of steel

will be ample space for all exhibitors.
Mile Lacs county people should feel

Farmers should now get busy and
select the grains, grasses, roots, etc.,
which they contemplate placing on
exhibitiOn-they should not leave this
important work until the last moment
and then make their selections in a
haphazard manner. The liberal
premiums which will be offered should
be an inducement to bring not only a
large number of exhibitors but the
very best quality of exhibits.
A special effort should this year be
put forth by live stock men to exhibit
their cattle, horses, sheep, swine, etc.
The comfortable, sanitary quarters
which have been provided for the &C.
commodation of live stock and the
awards which will be offered should
have the effect of largely increasing
the entries over those of last year in
this division. In the country sur
rounding Princeton there is great
plenty of fine live stock, especially
