Worse Than Before

The change in the train service on
the St. Cloud & Hinckley branch
of the Great Northern may better
accommodate people who reside along
the road west of Milaca, but it is far
from satisfactory to those who reside
on the Princeton branch. The
Princeton train reaches the cities
two hours later and makes no connec-
tions whatever-well, yes. few
people from west of Milaca may be
accommodated in going to the cities
but not in returning. Our present
passenger service is execrable and a
vigorous protest should be registered
at headquarters in St. Paul. Under
the present schedule it is impossible
for any one on the Princeton branch
to transact business in St. Paul and
return on the same day and yet
Princeton is only so miles distant
from that CITY.

team, it ought to be the best game
of the season. On Saturday the
sturdy sluggers from Grown will be
at the fair and will endeavor to
duplicate their feat of last, year.
when they gave the Princeton team
most beautiful and finished drub-
bling. Grown has a good team this
year and just couple of weeks ago
played the Isanti team to a stand
still on Isanti's home grounds.
Viewed from all standpoints, it
looks as if the baseball program at
the fair will be in keeping with the
other good amusements provided by
the fair association, and will fit in
with the other features which will
GO to make up the biggest and best
county fair in the history of Mile
Laos county.

VOLUME XXXVII. NO. ~
TWO CALLED HOME
Mrs. Thomas II. Prowse, Wife of the
a'
Editor of the Union, Passed
=
Away Last Saturday.
Mrs. Harriet Ann Harper, a Former
Resident of Princeton, Died at
Mllaca the Same Day.

1t is with feelings of the deepest
regret that the writer feels called
upon to chronicle the death of Mrs.
Thomas H. Prowse, the beloved wife
of the editor of the Union, which
sad event occurred at the North
western hospital on the afternoon of
the Both ult. For several years Mrs.
ProWse has not been in the best of
health, but at no time was she
thought to be dangerously i'll. Last
Thursday evening she complained
of severe pains in the abdominal
region and local physician was
called: for time Friday she was
thought to be improving, but along
toward evening her condition became
alarming and her relatives and the
family physician from St. Paul were
summoned. On Saturday it was
thought that she was suffering
from complete stoppage of the
bowels and the only chance of saving
her life was through an operation.
Accordingly she was removed to
the Northwestern hospital and DIR.
Cameron of St. Paul performed an
operation from which she never
rallied, and the end came at 5 p. m.
The remains were taken to st.
Paul and the funeral was held from
the home of her sister in that city
yesterday afternoon. There was a
large attendance of the friends of
the family and the floral tributes
were profuse and beautiful, and now
all that is mortal of Mrs. Thomas
H. Prowse reposes alongside the re-
mains of her father and mother in
the little cemetery attached to the
German NJ. E. church at Invergrove.
Mrs. Prowse's maiden name was
Emma Deppe: she was the daughter
of MIR. and Mrs. Hartwig Deppe of
West St. Paul and was born August
-, 1872: she was married to Mr..
Thomas II. Prowse on June 4.
1903, and removed to Princeton with
her husband about eight years ago.
Her husband, one sister and two
brothers-Mrs. Herman Kirsch and
Edward and August Deppe of St.
Paul-surviye her.
Mrs. Prowse was one of those
rare, unobtrusive, home-loving
women whom it was a pleasure to
know. She was slow to form friend
ships and attended strictly to her
own affairs, and those who knew her
intimately held her in high esteem.
The deepest sympathy is felt for her
sorely bereaved husband and her
loving sister and brothers.

Mr.. Hill Will Be Here.

Mr.. J. J. Hill has promised to be
at the Mile Laos County fair on Fri
day, September II, and Mr.. Hill is a
man of his word. Mr.. Hill twice
promised the writer to be at our fair
this year: first last October and
again less than six weeks ago. Mr..
HIPS private secretary has informed
the writer within the past few days
that Mr.. Hill will be here Then
why should any one believe he is not
coming? If Mr.. Hill is alive he will
De at the Mile Laos County fair on
the 18th and deliver one of his mimi
table talks to the farmers.

Let the Greasers Fight it Out.

Gov. Limbs mission to Mexico has
failed. The pacific policy of the
government, and the equanimity,
with which it breaches peace and
non-interference, may be all right
from an ethical standpoint. How
ever the Times has a notion that it
is not the policy which will make
fellows Of the Huerta type take
notice. The president of Mexico is
a red-handed murderer He holds
his Office and his power by the arts
Of the assassin, and the policy of
''non-interference" is probably the
one which he would most welcome
AS long as he is sure of being left
alone from the outside it is very
probable that he cares little whether
or not he is officially recognized, or
whether or not there is an exchange
of diplomatic representatives.
Americans have interests in Mexico
which they stand to lose, and they
will be 10th to leave the 'danger
Zone' while there is shadow of
hope that matters may be adjusted.
The chances seem good that while
our government is preaching ''peace"
and ''non-interference" that Ameri-
can citizens in Mexico will be
butchered and their property con-
fscated. The Mexican problem is
not going to be got rid Of by fine
essays on ''peace." Mexico is one
of the problems which the American
government has to solve and settle,
and it will never be settled until it
is settled right. West st. Paul

Sunday School Picnic.

: The annual picnic of the Congre-
gational Sunday school was held at
Green lake on Friday, August 20.
The children. Is. or 80 in number,
were conveyed to and from the lake
in automobiles. Rev. Fisher and
many of the teachers and parents of
the children were present. The
children frolicked from 10 a. m. to
6 p. NJ, enjoying themselves as. only
children can: playing in the deep
clean sand and wading in the clear,
shallow water. The picnic dinner,
served under the trees, was enjoyed
by all. Toward dusk the homeward
trip commenced, all happy and con-
tent even if a trifle sunburned.

The Potato Market.

Potatoes came in quite freely the
last three days Of last week; on
Saturday II cars were shipped out of
here; during the week 40 cars were
shipped. Prices ranged from 80 to
As cents. This week the weather
has been unfavorable and the re-
ceipts have been lighter. Quotations
today are 40 to As cents.
The indications are that there will
be shortage in the crop in the
country at large and that prices will
stitfen up when the real movement
of potatoes commences. Close OBJ
servers estimate that at least 1000,
900 bushels Of the tuhers will be
marketed at Princeton this season.

Princeton Victorious.

AAuSSIOll S1CtOI1OuS.
The Princeton baseball team won
the l!ndisputed baseball champion
ship of Mile Laos county last Sun
day when they wound up the regular
playing season by defeat ting the
Milaca team at the fair grounds by
the jug-hand]ed score of u to 2.
The game proved to be a one-sided
affair right from the start and
Princeton won out practically in the
first inning, and from that on kept
widening the gap between the re-
spective counts of the two teams
Fulwiler was on the firing line for
the locals: and evidently had some
old grudge to even up with the
lads from up-country for he went
right at it in deadly earnest and
for seven innings allowed only one
hit and struck out five of the op-
posing batsmen. For the first four
innings Milaca went out in rotation
but in the fifth Bourquin got line
on an infeld error. stole second and
on an attempt to steal third the ball
got by Davis and Bourquin raced
home with so per cent of Milaca's
total score for the whole game.
"Fish' retired at the end of the
seventh inning in order to give
Wilkes a chance to warm up his
throwing arm in preparation for the
big Mile Laos County fair. Wilkes
was touched up for one hit which
later on ripened into a tally, COM
pleting MiIaca's sum total for the
days pastiming.
Although the game was somewhat
uneven in the number of scores made
on each side, still the paly was in
teresting at times and made some
good fun for the large crowd that
had assembled to see the close Of the
regular playing season. Bill Roos
in center field pulled down a hot
drive from Wills bat in the eighth
inning, going up into the. air and
grabbing the ball with one hand.
Wilkes did some fancy base sliding
at home and several others put frills
into the game just to keep the ex-
element going.
Showberg started out pitching for
the visitors but, after. the home
talent had collected about half a
dozen runs off his delivery, the lanky
one was replaced by Sjostrom, who
pitched fair article of ball during
his stay on the mound. +"+
There will be no game next Sun
day, but the fans will have a chance
to see some good baseball at the
fair. Thursday, Setember II, the
Zimmerman and Milaca teams will
have the center of the stage, and as
these teams appear to be about
evenly matched this should prove an
interesting contest. On Friday the
fast Cambridge team will be over to
play off the existing tie with the
Princeton team, and as each team
now has one game apiece this is
pretty apt to be struggle that it
will be worth while going several
miles to see. From past experience
it looks as if the teams are about
evenly matched, and with Stoneberg
pitching for Cambridge and Wilkes
doing the honors for the Princeton

Signs of Farmers Prosperitv.

1t is surprising the number of fine
new barns that have been erected in
the towns of Blue Hill and Santiago
within the past few years. Many
neat new residences have also been
erected. The same is true of Glen
dorado and the four southern towns
OF Mile Laos county. The farmers
in the country tributary to Princeton
are certainly making rapid strides
in the right direction.

HEAVY SHOWS MAY

Rivermen Expect Unusually High
Water If the Usual Spring Weather
Shows Up.

Exprienced rivermen in this city are
fearful Of some unusual high water in
the event a chinook blows up from the
south, or the natural spring weather
sets in at the present time. They de.
clare that the foothills and mountains
in tine southeastern portion or the val.
ley are covered with three or four feet
of snow, while up at Black Rock, a log
ging station above Falls City, snow has
fallen to a deprn Of one foot.
These conditions are extremely dan
gerous to both lumber dealers and
those transacting business on the water
fronts between this city and Eugene,
say those long acquainted with the Will
lamette river, and, if weather condi.
tions prevail, as stated above, the old
Willamette will play hob with business
situated along its shores.
The spaulding Logging Company has
been unable to secure sufficient logs to
operate its mill for the past week on ac.

at Salem will be set in motion again to-
morrow.

REV. ERRETT LEAVES
SALEM PASTORATE
Hands in Resignation to Take Effect
May will Accept Pulpit in
Boise, Idaho.

After a successful pastorate of nine
and one.half years in the First Chris.
tian church of Salem, Rev. Davis Errett
surprised his congregation at the ser.
vice yesterday morning by announcing
his resignation. Mr.. Errett will remain
in the pulpit here until May /, when
he will remove to Boise, Idaho, where
he has accepted call to the pastOrate
Of the First Christian church Of that
city, His successor has not yet been
chosen.
Mr.. Errett came to the Salem church
in October, 1908. The period of his
ministry here has been one of develop.
ment in the Christian church. When
he came to Salem the congregation,
which numbered 175 people, as was
found by revision Of the books, occu.
pied small brick church at High and
Center streets, where the present build.
ing now stands. Mr.. Errett at once be.
gan to work up sentiment in favor of a
new church. The construction Of the
present building began in 1904 and in
1906 the church was dedicated, In the
nine and one.half years Of Mr., Errett s
pastorate the membership has grown
from l7j to an approximate total of
900 Mr.. Errctt explains that about
lj0 of this membership are absent mem.
bers, or persons who have moved away
from the city, without taking their
membership from the church. There
are between $50 and 800 resilient mem,
bers.
Last Year tho Best.
Along with the growth Of the congre.
cation Of the church there has been an
increase in the number of organizations
connected with the church, and in the
working number of members of these
