Millions Involved.

Millions of dollars to the state of
Minnesota are involved in an appeal
which will be taken to the supreme
court from decision handed down
by Judge Can't of the Duluth district
court last Friday. Judge Can't ruled
that the state had no claim to
mineral rights in ore under public
waters and that the ore belonged to
adjoining property owners. In the
case at issue an injunction was asked
restraining the White Iron Lake
Mining company ct al. from taking
ore from under the Longyear lake
bed. For 10 years the issue has been
under dispute, and in 1909 the legis-
lature passed a law defining the
states right to all ore under public
waters

Odd Fellows Celebrate.

On Monday evening the Odd Eel
lows lodge celebrated the ninety
fourth anniversary of the foundation
of the order. The whole upper floor
of the Odd Fellows building was
utilized for the celebration, and
over two hundred persons were
present. A program consisting of
selections by the Minnesota quartet
of Minneapolis and the Princeton or
chestra, as we'll as addresses, had
been arranged for the occasion and an
excellent supper was served by mem
bers of the Rebekah lodge. Rev.
Service of the Methodist church was
among those who delivered addresses
and he gave very good talk on fell
lowship. The anniversary was be.
fittingly celebrated in every way and
the participants passed an enjoyable
evening.

NOTES..

The new suits for the city team
have arrived and are on exhibition
at the Galley Hardware Co.. s store.
The suits are of a pearl gray with
maroon trimmings, and are a pretty
nifty proposition.
1t was a hard game to lose, but
the boys have another chance to try
it out with Milaca, and have made
up their minds to get the long end
of the score in the next encounter
with the crimson and white. Next
Saturday the Cambridge high school
will come over to Princeton to try
conclusions with the locals, and this
game the boys say they are going to
grab, with emphasis on the grab.
Joe Porter, who performed on the
slab for the local team last season,
blew into camp last Monday night
and announced his intention of stay
ing in Princeton this summer. This
will give the local team a good
pitcher to depend on and, with
Porter and Skahen for battery, the
boys will no doubt build up strong,
fast team, and some good baseball
should consequently be shown the
local fans this season.

Found Dead on His Couch.

C. P. Tellefson, who lived on the
Lois Chapman farm at Spencer
Brook, was found dead on his couch
on Saturday morning by Henry
Peters, who. with his wife, lived in
the same house with Te]lefson. :.
Tellefson, who was a heavy
drinker, went to town upon the pre-.
vious day and, when he returned
home in the evening had three quart
BOTTLES of snake-bite remedy with
him. Helaid down on his couch and
went to sleep, and when Mr.. and
Mrs. Peters retired he was still
sleeping. Upon arising in the morn
ing Mr.. Peters found him dead.
The Isanti county coroner was
summoned, who decided that there
was no necessity for an inquest.
Neighbors of Tellefson kindly bought
a coffin and he was buried on Sun.
day. He has no known relatives in
this part of the country.
A rough estimate of his personal
property shows that he leaves stuff
cient to pay the debts which he had
incurred.

The Recall of JUDGES.

The Times is not great admirer
of the so-called recall of officers, and,
as to judges, we regard it as unwar-
ranted, unWise, vicious and fraught
with evil. The avowed object is to
place judges in position where they
will feel that their terms may be
shortened if their decisions, often
times upon intricate legal questions,
are not affirmed by the masses-the
great percentage of whom know ab-
solutely nothing as to legal pro-
cedure, evidence, statutes, or con-
situations. The recall destroys the
independence of the judiciary. It
places them at the mercy Of agitators
and demagogues, and makes uncer-
tain their tenure of office. The re-
suit will be that attorneys of learn
ing and high character will not &C.
cept places upon the bench, and thus
the personnel of the Judiciary will
deteriorate.
The history of the American bench,
from the days of John Jay to the
present time. has been one of which
we, as a nation, may be proud-both
nationally and as to the state courts.
True, there has been an occasional
unworthy judge. 1t would be
strange if there had not been. One
Of the twelve betrayed the Master.
There is at present sufficient pro-
vision for the recall Of judges in
their impeachment-both state and
national. AS recently as last winter
| a United States judge was i'm
peached by the house of representa-
tives, tried by the senate, found
guilty of questionable acts and dis
qualified from holding office. In
Minnesota two judges have been i'm
peached-one was acquitted, the
other removed from office. These
incidents prove that the recall of
Judges is already well provided for
when there is reason for their i'm.
parchment.
Another vicious proposal is that
of ex-President Roosevelt: To recall
or set aside court decisions on con-
stitutional questions by vote of the
people! Was anything ever more
| impracticab]e or absurd! To submit
to the great mass of voters, learned
or ignorant, legal problems that puz.
zled the minds Of Jay, Marshall,
Tawney and other learned jurists
This latter idea is of purely Roose
veltian origin.-St. Cloud Times.

Cemetery Association.

A meeting Of the Oak Knoll Gene
terry association was held last Friday
afternoon at the court house. The
treasurer's report showed a balance
on hand of $3.50, and it was decided
to continue the work of caring for
the cemetery grounds until the fund
is exhausted.
This is very small sum and not
much can be accomplished Herewith.
1t is therefore urged that persons
wishing to contribute make such
contributions without delay to the
treasurer, Mrs. Guy Ewing; or to any
member of the following soliciting
committee-Mrs. w. H. Terrell, Mrs.
Benz. Soule, Mrs. H. G.. Cooney or
Mrs. Eva Keith.

Loses Possessions bv Fire.

Fire, the origin of which is a
mystery, on Tuesday evening de-
stroyed the barn, granary and all
other outbuildings, together with
their contents, on the farm of H.
M. Sigler-the old Frank Harper
place-in Greenbush. Mr.. Sigler lost
seven COWS, four horses, calves, hogs,
chickens, farm machinery, feed, seed
potatoes, and everything else con-
tanned in the buildings.
The loss, estimated at 1880, is
particularly unfortunate for Mr..
:Sigler, who carried no insurance
although he had seen insurance men
and arranged for taking out policy
on the property. The fire leaves him
practically penniless, all the money
he had, with the exception of a. bal
ance of $3.50 in bank, having been
expended in the purchase of COWS.
horses, machinery, etc. Mr.. Sigler
came here from Iowa this spring and
settled on the old Frank HARPER
place, making payment of $500 on
the farm, and through him several
other Iowa parties bought farms in
this territory and came here to live.
The fire occurred directly after the
family had eaten supper. Mrs. Siglel
was separating cream and Mr.. Sigler,
tired after hard days work, had
taken off his boots and was reading a

Can Such Thinqs Be?

Wisconsin is deeply stirred because
the mayor of Marinette, by name,
Joseph Fisher, has wiped out a float
ing indebtedness of fifteen Thousand
dollars, reduced the city's bonded
debt twenty-six Thousand dollars, and
accumulated ffty-four thousand dol
lars in the treasury. This has been
done during five years in which
streets have been paved and con-
crete bridge built across the Menom-
inee river. In all this time the tax
rate has not been raised, and the
mayor predicts a lower tax rate next
year. Can such things be?-Minne-

MILACA WINS GAME
Score Was Eight to Nine in Favor of
the Boys in the Arid Region
North of Princeton.
Umpire Wilkes, However, is Said to
Have Slipped Over a Very
Unsatisfactory Decision.

The baseball cohorts of the local
high school journeyed to Milaca last
Saturday to do battle with their
country cousins up in the arid zone
to the north Of us. Evidently they
did not like the dryness of the eli
mate up there, or were unable to
play their best ball after such a sud-
den change in weather conditions,
for they brought back the short end
of a hard fought game and a rather
coherent and properly corroborated
story of how the umpire slipped over
a rather raw one in the ninth inning
which was really the turning point
of the game-and handed the game
to the crimson and white crew.
However, it was one of those close
plays that frequently crop out in
ball games, and ofttimes means the
game itself.
The game was played under ad-
verse weather conditions, as it was
a cold, windy day with overloaded
skies, and really more appropriate
for football than baseball. But the
high school athletes of the respec-
tive towns refused to be subdued by
anything so insignificant as inclement
weather, and they went at each
other hammer and tongs and played
an to 9 game that kept the crowd
on edge throughout the nine innings.
The result Of the game was unde-
cided until the last round, and but
for the injustice done the orange and
black tossers in this round by the
umpire, the game would have gone
into extra innings. Princeton took
the lead in the very first round and
held it up to the sixth round, but
the pace got too fast for them and
the Milacaites overcame this lead
and started setting the pace them
selves. In the ninth the Princeton
ians tied the score again, and then
came the mix-up in the last half of
the ninth, which sent the game
glimmering as far as the local boys
were concerned.

THE ARGUMENT.

If1E "A hi u NJ EMIL.
Act. l.-Minnesota house passes
big reapportionment bill. Anoka
and Sherburne counties are placed in
one district, with a senator and one
house member: Isanti, Mile Laos
and Kanabec counties forming an
other district with a senator and
two house members.
Act 2.-Senators amend the bill to
please Senator Swanson. Isanti
county having large Swedish popu-
lation, and Sherburne very few of
this nationality, Mr.. Swanson in
sists on having Isanti instead Of
Sherburne attached to Anoka.
Act 3.-Rines, Davis and Dunn
don't like this change, and propose
that the house refuse to concur.
Fearing disaster if the bill goes be-
fore the senate for another vote the
managers Of the bill. Victor L. John
son for the senate and G. Fl. Warner
for the house, arrange compromise.
1t is agreed by the three house men,
bers and Senator Swanson that if
the:bill as amended by the senate is
repassed by the house, they will all
stand for a supplemental bill,
amending the main measure by
transferring Sherburne county and
the extra house member from the
Mile Lacs.Kanabec district to the
Anoka-Isanti district. While this
does not suit either side entirely, it
is a compromise agreement, and it
expedites the passage of the main
bill.
Act 4-War clouds arise. Rines,
Davis and Dunn join the insured
tion caused by Eberhart's yetoes OF
the Nolan and Minnette bills and
vote, TO- pass both over the veto.
Swanson hoists the Eberhart standard
and votes 'sno" on both bills in the
senate, helping to sustain the vetoes.
Act 5.-Trembling, the poor little
Sherburne county reapportionment
bill enters the Eberhart portals.
Eberhart swings his claymore.
"Veto," he shouts, and shrieking,
the victim falls, while hoarse cries
OF rage sound from the insurgents

spite of myselt,'' says the trusty

THE WEEKS DEATHS
Mrs. Christine Smith and the Infant
Daughter of rlr. and Mrs. Geo.
MaIkson Pass Beyond.
c. P. Tellefson, Bachelor Who Lived
at Spencer Brook, is Found
Dead on His Couch.

Mrs. Christine Smith died at the
home of Mrs. Mary Eklund in this
village on Saturday morning, aged
40 years. About six weeks prior to
her death she underwent a surgical
operation at the Northwestern hos
pital in the hope that her life might
be saved, but it proved of no avail.
She was removed from the hospital
to Mrs. Eklund's about two weeks
before she died.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon, under direction of the
Lady Maccabees, of which order she
was member and in which she
carried life insurance, and services
were held in the Methodist church.
Rev. Service delivered very i'm
pressive sermon and a quartet rem
dered vocal selections. Many beau
tiful floral offerings were placed upon
the casket, including a pretty en-
blematic wreath from the Lady
Maccabees. The interment was in
Oak Knoll cemetery.
Mrs. Christine Smith. whose
maiden name was Christine Erick-
son, was born in Sweden on March
Is, 1864. She came to the United
States in 1869 and, with her parents,
located at Cambridge, Mimi. Later
she moved to Princeton and on July
%, 1883, was married to Fred
Smith, who survives her. She is
also survived by two daughters, Mrs.
Maud McGrew and Mrs. Gertrude
McGrew, of Minneapolis; and one
son, George, who lives in North
Dakota. She leaves besides three
sisters, Mrs. e. B. Erickson, Spencer
Brook; Mrs. Axel Brandt, Cam
bridge: Mrs. Lille Westlund, Rush
City; and one brother, S. E. Ander-
son of Spokane. Both daughters
and other relatives were present at
the obsequ ies.~s--4:-s-.a. -,--
Mrs, Smith was a Woodworking,
industrious woman and possessed a
most kindly disposition. She was
we'll liked in the community and
highly respected by everyone with
whom she was acquainted.
The members of the family ask
the Union to sincerely thank the
friends who SO kindly assisted them
during the illness and at the obse-
Quies of Mrs. Smith.
