Are You From Missouri?

II, SO we are prepared to show you.
During the past couple OF years the press
OF this section has been telling its read
ers what might be expected in the way
of fruit raising in this community. How
trees three and four years old would bear
proifically. Perhaps-our assertions may
have been doubted by some, but the
time has now come, when we are prepared
to back up these assertions by the actual
goods.
On Tuesday evening a representative Of
the Times had the pleasure of visiting
the home OF Mr.. A. Anderson OF this
place and sufficient evidence was mani
Tested there TO substantiate all that we
have heretofore said about the fruit in
dustry. As recent HIS the spring of 1910,
there was not fruit tree or shrub WIS.,
lble on the holdings Of Mr.. Anderson,
but that spring he set out an assortment
OF trees and shrubs, not combining his
selections to'any one particular variety,
having over 40 different kinds of fruit
trees besides the smaller fruits. This
year he is reaping the harvest OF his
labor at that time The little trees, only
three years old, are all heavily laden
with fruit, the cherry trees with their
slender branches almost reaching the
ground under their heavy load of ripen-
ing fruit. The same may be said of the
peach, pear and.plum trees, though the
latter are not quite so heavily loaded.
Withal it is an inspiring sight to see, and
fully demonstrates what may be expect
ed along the line OF raising fruit in this
section. 1t would give lis pleasure to
take some Of our credulous readers into
this garden where seeing is believing

STRUCK BY ENGINE
Swan StensoB, Aged 81, While D0z.
ing on Track, Receives Inju.
ries Which Prove Fatal.
Taken to Northwestern Hospital But
Shock to His System.

A man named Swan Stenson, aged
81 years, was struck by'a feight en-
CINE in the railroad yards at GAS on
Monday evening and, as result, re-
ceiyed fracture of the right leg,
while the muscles and tendons on
the left were badly torn.
Stenson, who arrived here on the
passenger train for the purpose of
visiting his brother Halvor in San
tiago, said his home was about
seven miles from Smelling, Cal.
When Stenson alighted from the
passenger train he entered the
depot waiting room and later went
out into the yards, sat down upon a
rail and fell asleep. A freight en-
CINE, which was switching in the
yards, struck him and carried him
about two rods. A few moments
before the engine ran into Swanson
Lemuel Briggs saw that he was in
imminent danger and ran toward
him with the intention of pulling
him from the track, but the boy was
too late.
Telephone messages were sent to
DIR. Cooney and DIR. Galley and they
both responded. Stenson was taken
to the Northwestern hospital where
the fracture in the right leg was re-
duced and the decorations of the left
we're dressed.
MIR. Stenson died at O'Clock
yesterday morning from the effects
of the shock. When taken to the
hospital little or no hopes were en-.
tertained for his recovery in conse.
Quence of his great age and feeble
ness. His brother, Halvor Stenson,
took charge of the remains and con-
veyed them to his home at Santiago.
The funeral will be held from the
Norwegian Lutheran church in Glen
dorado on Saturday..

Bob King Rides the Goat.

On Friday evening Bob King, s..
P. Skahen, Heine Plaas and H. L..
Zimmerman motored over to ST..
Cloud, where Bob was initiated into
the order of Elks.
The ceremony, say the boys, was
grand and impressive, but there
were a number of features about it
which would remind one of the
Spanish inquisition. We will en-
deayor to describe a few of these
stunts: Mr.. O'King was commanded
by the high gyasticutus to disrobe
and, in the ''altogether,' to ascend
to the pinnacle of the temple, where
Beelzebub awaited him and pushed
him off. He landed in a tank of ice
cold water down cellar. Two lackeys
tished him out with boathooks and
he was conducted to the electric
chair and current SO strong turned
on that his hair stood up on end like
quilts upon the fre0ful porcupine.
A few tacks were then driven into
his back to test his fortitude and he
Was attached by the heels to pulley
and suspended in midair. There
the archers of the order fired arrows
at him and removed small piece of
skin from the tip of his nose. Upon
being released from this position he
was put into a spiked barrel and
rolled down an inclined plane.
When taken out salt water was ap-
piled to his system and he was COM
manded to dress. The tests ended
by pulling Mr.. O'King's leg, He
had to set up big supper for the
boys at hotel.

ordeals in my day." said he, 'but
that initiation was the most fright
full of all. For good, strenuous ex.

THE COUNTY BOARD
Petition for Incorporation of Isle
Townslte as Village is Ap.
proved by the Board.
Permission Granted to Organize New
Township of Morgan, For
merly Part of Page.

On Monday morning the board of
county commissioners met in ad-
journed session and concluded it's
business the same day and adjourned
to November IS. All members were
present at the session. Following is
a synopsis of the proceedings:
Charles Malone appeared before the
board and presented petition,
signed by 20 citizens, for the incor-
poration of the townsite of Isle as a
village. The petition, appearing
regular upon it's face, was approved
by the board and Saturday, Novem-
Der l, designated as the day for hold
ing an election at said townsite of
Isle for the purpose of voting upon
the proposition.
School petitions were presented by
l.. r. Danger and Gust E. Anderson
praying to be set off from district II
to s, both districts being in the
town of Milo. November Is was set
as the day for hearing said petition.
A petition for the organization Of
the new town of Morgan-township
40, range q, formerly part of the
town of Page-was heard by the
board and granted. A division was
ordered to be made of. the funds
and Indebtedness, and October 49,,
from to 10 a. M, at the home of
A. R. DAILY, on the old Rush ranch
in said town, was fixed as the time
and place for holding the first town
meeting in said new township of
Morgan.
At the hearing of the school petit
tion Of J. Jensen, who prayed to be
set off from district IS to 4, several
persons appeared from the first
named district and opposed the
granting of said petition upon the
grounds that district IS was too
small to lose any of it's territory.
The matter was laid over to the
next meeting so that the board may
have an opportunity to make further
investigation.
A petition from F. E. Parsley and
Louis Schedin asking that section 6,
in the town of Bogus Brook, be re-
surveyed under the statutes, was
heard. The petition was granted
upon condition that petitioners
furnish bond of 800 to protect the
county from preliminary costs in
case the petition is denied.
On Tuesday the board, as com
mittee of the whole, visited the
county farm to let contract for
building barn and to make an in
spection of the buildings and
grounds.

The Friedman ''Cure" a Fake.

The Press Bulletin of the Ameri-
can Medical association, among other
things, in speaking of the so-called
Friedman "cure" for tuberculosis,
says: {.
Once more it should be stated that
the so-called friedman cure for tu-
berculosis is utterly discredited. All
reliable reports regarding the treat
ment of patients by Friedmann's
method seem to show either that it
is actually injurious or else that it is
less efficient than other well-known
and less dangerous means of treat
ment.. This and more is true, and
the company which is exploiting this
so-called cure is, apparently, able
to find physicians who are willing
to aid in this inhuman business.
After all, this might be expected
it has always been possible to find
men willing to do disreputable work
II sufficient financial inducements
are offered. While the medical pro-
tesslon harbors but small proper
tlon of men of this type, it has some
within it's ranks who are willing to
sell their birthright of professional
decency for a mess Of pottage. AS
has been previously said, the scheme
of floating Friedman Institutes in
different states successfully evades
any reprisal on the part of the fed.
eral government. It-therefore de-
wolves on the various states to take
such action as is necessary to prevent
the heartless exploitation of the un-
fortunate consumptives within their
borders. - s.

Princeton Potato Market.

There has been no rush of business
at the warehouses during the past
week but potatoes have been coming
in steadily. Prices have fuctuated
between the 40 and 81 cent marks
the lower price being paid for in
feriOr stock.
Indications, if reports from other
potato-growing States are reliable.
are that prices will not reach a low
level this season-that they are more
liable to advance. But selling at so
cents a bushel is, perhaps, better
than storing and running chances of
a decline. This is, however, a
matter for the grower to determine
he is the man directly affected.
Digging is in full operation and
most of the farmers who have
planted large acreages are using ma.
chimes. Indians are chiefly employed
as pickers.
Not more than Is per cent of the
potatoes tributary to the Princeton
market has been dug, and some OF
the farmers will have to hurry OF
their spuds may get frost-bitten.
The Great Northern road is now
running a freight train each way
daily and from 10 to Is carloads OF
pota toes leave this point every "a
hours.

IN SPECIAL SESSION
Village Council Meets to Act Upon a
Request of Company q and
Grants the Same.
Votes to Allow r1ilitia Boys Credit of
$3.50 Per Annum on Their
Heat and Light Bill.

A special meeting of the village
council was held on Monday evening
to act upon . request from Company
4, M. N. g., such request being
that the council allow the militia
boys credit of $3.50 per annum-S2OO
to be applied on the cost of heating
the armory and $50 on lighting. At
torney E. L. Mcmillan and Captains
Alfred johnson and Clair Galley ap-
peared before the council on behalf
of Company G and, after the propo-
sition was discussed, Z. G. Hummel
moved that the council accede to the
request of the militia boys. The
motion was seconded by DR.. McRae
and the village recorder Instructed
to draw up resolution covering the
matter. Hummel, McRae and Hatch
voted in favor of the resolution.
Davis was absent.
The passage of this resolution
means that the state will pay an
equal amount per annum to that ap.
propriated by the s250-to
assist in defraying the expense OF
the armory's maintenance.
Representatives of Company G. in.
formed the council that they would
permit the armory to be used free OF
charge by the villagers for public
meetings such as commencement ex.
ercises and Memorial day services.
The Citizens band will also be per-
mitted to hold it's rehearsals in the
building.
The armory will be heated by the
exhaust steam from the power house,
for which pipes have already been
laid and vacuum pump installed at
the expense of Company G..
