DISBURSEMENTS.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Keith Return.

Alter a most enjoyable trip ex-
tending over period of five weeks,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Keith returned
to Princeton last Saturday evening.
When they left Princeton they pro-
ceeded to St. Paul and there took
passage for St. Louis. However.
when near Keokuk, Iowa, the
steamer struck the coping Of lock-
as heretofore chronicled in these
columns from that point they
were compelled to proceed by train
to their destination. At St. Louis
Mr.. and Mrs. Keith engaged rooms
at the Planters hotel and remained
there few days, visiting places Of
interest during their stay among
these places,'' says Mr.. Keith, "was
the great Anheuser-Busch brewery.
1t is big institution and very in
teresting, but do not drink beer.'
From St. Louis they went by boat
to Cincinnati, where Mrs. Keith has
friends and relatives, and from there
to Louisville, where they stopped at
the Henry Watterson hotel and met
old Marse Henry. The hotel is Of
course merely named after the fight
ing editor of the Courier Journal
does not conduct it. Mr.. Keith SAYS
that Watterson is one of the most
interesting men he ever met-he is
the typical southern gentleman, con-
genial and hospitable.
They returned, after a three days'

Hundred Dollars Each,

Wish we had few practical good

to build them. The following press

county will complete twenty miles of
permanent road this year at a cost OF
approximately $500 a mile. The
work is done under direction of S. F.
Mullen, county surveyor, assisted by
good roads committees representing
five towns in the county. The roads
are graded to a 4O-foOt width and
after settling are graveled. The
board of county commissioners ap-
propriated $4,000 for the work and
the Commercial and Auto clubs of
Gaylord, Green Isle, Winthrop, Ar
lington and Gibbon contributed $500
each. State aid makes up the re-
mainder. The state road through
the county from Minneapolis to Red
wood Falls and west is graded for
twenty miles and the entire length
across the country will be completed
late this fall.

Joseph Wolf, an old resident of
the town of Princeton, died at his
home near Long Siding on Tuesday

interment was in the Catholic ceme-
terry at Oak Knoll.
Mr.. Wolf was an industrious.

all who knew him, and those among
whom he resided regret very much
his taking away.

On the two big bridges, Nos. 1853

On the two big bridges, Nos. 1853
and 354, there is SO little difference
in the bids that, to man up tree,
it suggests the existence of a COM
bine between the ''competing' firms.
With the small bridge bids the repre-
sentatives apparently became scared
and cut into one another in order to
make the commissioners believe that
they we're really engaged in keen
competition. But the commissioners
were not so easily fooled. They re-
jected every bid upon the grounds
that they were too high, and it was
a downcast looking lot of agents that
left town together in automobiles.
The board appointed Commissioner
Sholin committee of one to confer
with the state highway commission
in an effort to have the specifications
changed SO that more inexpensive
bridges may be constructed, the
building of which will come within
the means at the command of the
county board.

COMBINE SUSPECTED
County Board Considers Seven Bids
for the Erection of Bridges
and Rejects All of Them.
Bids Too High and Those on the Big
Bridges SAVIOR of Existence of
"Gentlemen's Agreement

Representatives of seven cOnstruc-
ton companies appeared before the
county commissioners on Friday,
when bids were considered for build
ing four bridges, as follows: No. 1853
bridge across Rum river, in town
of Princeton, known as the Sadley
bridge, l2O-foot span; No. 354-
bridge across Rum river in town of
Page, 100-foot span with two 3O-foot
approaches; No. 35l-bridge across
Estes brook in town of Milo, 3O-foot
span; No. 577-bridge across Prairie
brook, in town of Greenbush, 23-foot
span. The seven companies which
put in bids were as follows: Great
Northern Bridge Co., Security
Bridge Co., Elkhart Bridge Co.,
Ibling Bridge Co., Minnesota Bridge
Co., Twin City Bridge Co., and Min
neapolis Steel & Machinery Co.
The bids called for steel and con-
crete bridges, with 16-foot roadways,
to meet the requirements of the
state highway commission, but on
bridge No. 353 additional bids were
submitted by two companies for
plank instead of concrete roadways,
and one of these firms bid on plans
of it's own draughting. The follow
ing table will show how these con-
Germs bid:

DR.. Game Visits Princeton.

DR.. Charles T. Caine came up from
st. Paul last Friday evening to con-
suit with DR.. Cooney with reference
to the formers niece, Miss Ouida
Brown. DIR. Caine left for Cam
bridge Sunday evening, intending to
go to Duluth to meet Hon. L. G.
Spooner, republican candidate for
governor. DR.. Caine has a lucrative
practice at Morris, but he is so in
tensely interested in Mr.. Spooner,
who is also resident of Morris, that
he secured the services of another
physician to minister to the wants
of his patients and he assumed the
management of Mr.. Spooner's cam
paign with headquarters in St. Paul.
DIR. Game is son of the late Hon.
L. &. Game of Isanti county, and
first commenced the study of medi-
cine at this place under DR.. O. G.
Tarbox. Later DIR. Caine graduated
from the state university and To-
Gated at Elbow Lake in Grant
county and from there removed to
Morris, where he has built up an ex-
tensive practice and is held in high
esteem by all classes of the COM
munity.
DR.. Game does not profess to be
much of politician, and his warm
personal friendship for Mr.. Spooner
is his only excuse for linking" in
politics at this time. OF the half
dozen candidates in the field for the
republican gubernatorial nomina-
tlon, in point of ability, Mr.. Spooner
is second to none of them, and DR..
Game has reason to feel justly proud
OF the candidate whose cause he
espouses.

New Homestead Laws Are Issued.

Regulations governing entries
under the three-year homestead law
have been issued by the general land
office. These regulations require
that credit for the three-year period
shall begin from the time of the
establishment of actual residence and
that all proofs must be submitted
within five years. Cultivation for
three years, counting from the date
OF entry, is required, including
actual cultivation of not less than
one-sixteenth of the area, beginning
with the second year, and not less
than one-eighth beginning with the
third year and until final proof is
made. Tillage of the soil is re-
quired; mere breaking of the soil
is not sufficient, but this must be
accompanied by planting or sowing
of seed. Grazing is not accepted ex-
cept with respect to certain lands
opened to entry under special acts
providing therefor.
The secretary of the interior is
authorized to reduce the required
area of cultivation; this will not be
done on account of the physical or
financial disabilities or misfort71nes
of the entryman, but only where
enaction of cultivation to the statu-
tory proportion is unreasonable
under the peculiar conditions govern
ing the lands. The entryman must
make application for the reduction
during the first year Of his entry.
The entryman may absent himself
for one continuous period of not
more than five months in each year
following establishment of his resi-
dence, but he must show bona fde
continuous residence during the re-
naming portions of the three-year
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1912-07-25

period. Two tive-months periods of
absence Immediately succeeding each
other, though in. different years of
the entry, will not be allowed; six
months absence renders the entry
subject to contest. Moreover, in
considering either final proof or con-
tests, extended periods of absence
are respected only where notice has
been given to the local land office of
the beginning of the intended alb
sence and also notice of the home
steader's return. The acts allowing
leave of absence to be granted by the
local land officers have not been re-
pealed.
The privilege of communication
(Where it heretofore existed) is not
affected by the new act, except that
the entryman must be citizen of
the. United States. The old practice
under which communication was given
to persons who had merely declared
their intention to become citizens is
now abrogated.
Unless homestead claimant files
a declaration on or before Oct. l.,
1917, to make proof thereafter under
the old law, the entry is subject to
the provisions of the act of June g..
1912. The required residence is thus
reduced from five to three years.
but the specific cultivation provided
by the act must be shown. More
over, proof must be submitted with
in tive years after the date of the
enrty.

A "Paper" Railroad.

1t is the easiest matter in the
world to build railroads on paper.
The letting of the contract for grad
Ing the long alked-of electric line
between Anoka and Minneapolis has
given rise to the talk that the 500
road is behind the project and that
the road will eventually be extended
clear through to Mile Laos lake and
beyond. The q MO n hopes there is
some foundation for the rumors, but
Notwithstanding the most diligent
inquiry we can find nothing tangible
upon which to base the rumor. In
Anoka there are doubling Thomases
who do not believe that the road will
be built even to that city, but we
are inclined to believe the road will
be built to Anoka this year or next.
Some time in the future the terri
tory between the Princeton and
Cambridge branches of the Great
Northern will undoubtedly be inter-
sected by an electric or steam rail-
road, but there is no prospect of the
building of the same in the near
future, and if ever such a road is
built we believe it will come close to,
if not into, this village. But in the
meantime we would advise our
readers in western Isanti county not
to place much dependence in
''paper'' railroads. When such a
road as the one talked of is seriously
contemplated the Union will know
of it and so will it's readers.

WHY the Difference?

Stove and egg coal is delivered in
Anoka for 1925 per ton. In Prince
ton the price is quoted at 5000 per
ton for the same kind of coal. Why
the difference Of IS cents per ton in
favor Of Anoka? Princeton is just
as near the head of the lakes as
Anoka, and we presume the freight
rates to both places are the same.
There is no reason why coal cannot
be sold as cheap in Princeton as in
Anoka. There may be some good
reason for the difference in price and
if there is we would like to know it.

improving at this time.
