dition With Four Thousand
Dollars in Treasury.

The Glendorado Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance company, which
operates in Mile Laos, Sherburne
and Benton counties, held it's annual
meeting in Milaca on Tuesday and a
large number of people from the sur
rounding country we're in attendance
the representation of farmers
showed clearly that much interest is
manifested in the organization. The
meeting was addressed by Postmaster
Fay Cravens and Attorney Olin G.
Myron, who welcomed the insurance
men to Milaca and spoke in glowing
terms of the good their organization
had effected for the tillers of the soil.
Pleasing selections were discoursed
at intervals by the Milaca brass
band.
The officers and directors elected
for the ensuing year we're as follows:
President, O. 81. Uglem, Green bush;
vice president, P. Jensen, Bogus

do: N. A. Ness, Haven; Louis Roche
ford, Greenbush.
1t was shown by the financial state
ment, read by the treasurer, that
there is a balance on hand of $4,000
and that the total amount of insur-
ance carried approaches very closely
a million and a half dollars. The
number of policies held by members
is close to 900.
On January "a, at l O'Clock in the
afternoon, a meeting of the board OF

Change In G. N. Time Table.

Last Monday change in the Great
Northern time table went into effect
on this branch and will continue until
further notice. The down train now
leaves Princeton at 11:O4 a. m. in
stead of 1856 and the up train at 5:l1
instead of 5:27. This means "a
minutes less time for people who go
to the cities and return the same day.
The change in time, however, will
probably only be temporary.

Are You Looking for Horses?

If so King & Kaliher can doubtless
supply your wants. They have just
received carload of the prettiest
native mares you have ever seen, the
majority of them farm chunks. They
weigh from 1900 to l,400 pounds
apiece, are in fine condition and
sound in every way. A more sub
stantial lot of horses it would be diff
cult to find anywhere and the prices
are right. Call at the barns and
examine them. e..

Doesn't Like the South.

Charley Ericsson, who sold his farm
in Isanti township a short time ago
and went south to find salubrious
climate, fertile soil and an ideal place
for home, returned last week, &C.
cording to the Isanti News, dissatis-
fed, and is looking for another farm
to buy or rent. Charley found the
climate and the fertile land down in
Mississippi, but conditions we're so
unsatisfactory and methods so crude
that he was unable to Withstand them.
If you write to him he will cheerfully
tell you all about the "superior ad-
vantages' of the south.

Anoka Should Have an Annual Fair.

AnOka business men are taking
steps to have county fair next fall.
It is proposed to raise fund of ST, ZOO
to pay cash premiums. There is no
reason why the rich and prosperous
county of Anoka should not have a
good fair every year. Here in Mile
Laos county we have had a hard
struggle to maintain our county fair,
but, thanks to the perseverance of a
few public.spirited citizens, we now
have fine grounds and buildings,
ahead of anything in northern Mime
sofa, and the fair is established on a
solid foundation and is a permanent
institution.

Mile Laos Should Raise Its Share,


Mr.. W. r. Mackenzie, secretary of
the Northern Minnesota Development
association, writes us:
"We are now ready to receive ex-
hibits from Mile Laos county and I
trust that 1 will get a nice bunch of
stuff from you.
"Your wall space is 5x9 feet and
then there is room for vegetab les, two
deep.
II think our northern counties
ought to show good samples of corn
and also miscellaneous things like
tobacco, etc., or any thing that looks
as though it we're grown four or five
hundred miles further south''
AS already stated in the columns of
the U il N an immigration commits
sion and exhibit Office has been
esta blished at 80 South Third St.,
Minneapolis, for the purpose of dis
playing the products OF the northern
counties and getting desirable class
of new settlers to locate in northern
Minnesota. Mile Laos county has
been assessed $500 as it's share
towards defraying the cost of the
maintenance of the Minneapolis
bureau, and the county's membership
fee is $500. There can be no
question as to the benefits that this
county will receive from it's member
ship in the association and through
the immigration bureau at Mime
apolis, as there are thousands of
acres of good unoccupied land in the
county.
This week r. G. Dunn has received
a check for 5000 from the 500 State
Bank at Wahkon; the Princeton State
Bank, Mcmillan & Stanley and E. L.
Trask of Minneapolis have each
pledged $1,000; the First National
Bank of Princeton and the First
National Bank of Milaca have al
ready contributed $1,000 each-mak-
ing total paid or pledged of $4,000.
The other $4,000 should be raised
without delay, and the county should
have an exhibit Of its products on dis
play at the headquarters in Mime
apolis. There will be some expense
attached to getting a proper display
of products. But every dollar will be
accounted for and statement pub
lished. This is the last appeal the
Union will make in this matter.
The Minneapolis Tribune has this
to say of the bureau headquarters:
"A permanent exhibit of farm prod
ucts of northern Minnesota was
opened yesterday to the public at 80
Third street S. by the Northern Min
nesota Development association.
The room will also serve as immigra-
ton headquarters for the association,
in charge of W. R. Mackenzie, who is

MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS
Kent FRYE. In all Probability, Accidental
Walked Into Hole at Elk River.

Kent FRYE. In all Probability, Accidentally
Walked Into Hole at Elk River
Kent Frye, one of the brightest
and most cheerful young men on the
force of the Elk River Star-News,
mysteriously disappeared on Sunday
evening, and indications strongly
point to the probability that he met
death by drowning - accidentally
walked into an ice hole in the Mis-
sissippi river and was carried away
by the strong current. Kent loved to
take long walks, he was feshy and
desired to reduce his weight,-and
it is supposed that while on one of
these jaunts, and paying no particu-
lar attention to the course be was
pursuing, he suddenly found himself
in the river. The chances of mans
saving himself when he unsuspectingly
disappears through one of these
treacherOus apertures are very small,
especially where there is strong cur
rent beneath, for he would naturally
be carried distance below the place
where he entered, and when he came
to the surface would find barrier of
ice above him through which he could
not possibly force his way.
For a distance of more than half a
mile below the hole in which the young
man is supposed to have disappeared
men with dynamite cartridges have
been making an attempt to raise the
body, but so far without success.
Kent Frye was the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank L. Frye and was 81
years of age. He was a model young
man, having no bad habits, and was
a general favorite among his &C.
quaintances. 1t is sad, indeed, that
he should have been so tragically
taken from his parents, two sisters,
and others who loved him, and the
heartfelt sympathy of the friends OF
the afflicted family goes out to them
in their time of sorrow.----~r---.4-s.s.s
Kent Frye was a nephew of Mr..
and Mrs. George Staples of Prince
ton, who we're in Elk River on a mis-
sion of sympathetic comfort to the
bereaved family on Tuesday,

FURTHER ADVANCE
 |NCOTTON MARKET
Unfavorable Weather Fore casts Largely Responsible.
 Close Steady, Higher

New York. March 27.-There was fur ther advance in the cotton market today owing 10 unfavorable weather forecasts, continued reports of a firm spot situation and persistent rumors of a much better outlook for a settlement of the English labor troubles. The close was very steady and from to points net higher.
 The market opened steady at decline of 214 points under scattering liquidation by yesterdays buyers and local selling encouraged by somewhat disappointing cables and the failure of the weather map to show expected rains yesterday in the western belt. Offerings were very well absorbed within point or two of the ,ni- tial figures, however, as the eastern belt forecast, published right after the call, predicted rains tomorrow or tomorrow night. The market. during the middle of the morning, developed increased activity as a result of buying which appeared to be based on rumors that the English la- bor troubles had been settled, combined with apprehensons of further delays Tn farm work, and of possible floods in tue belt.
 Rumors of strike settlement were not confirmed and prices slipped off or 4 points from the best in the middle of the day, but the late cables from Liverpool and London were decidedly more optimls- tic, as to ao early settlement of the strike and the market in the later trading frmed up again, reaching th9 highest point of the day on these reports, strength at New Orleans and reports or hiSher southern spot 11arkets.
 The close was within point or two of the best. The strength in New or leans attracted considerable attention, las March there sold above the Il cent level and there were rumors that leading spot interests were in control of old crop con tracts both in New orleans and New York. Locally March sold at 1Ols cents, or within three points of the high record established March H.
 Receipts 254 bales, against @,l53 last week and 1893 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 2o0S, against 34o7 last year. At Galveston 5S20, against 24is last year, and at Houston 27l1, against 2655 last year.
