the elementary grades with the ex-
ception of Gettysburg and the fight
between the Merrimac and Monitor,
and the old soldiers do not propose
to stand for it.
In opposing the proposition Levi
Longfellow, national patriotic in
structor of the Grand Army Of the
Republic says: "The idea is all
wrong. That would be great his
tory, wouldn't it? I believe this is
part of the movement to eliminate
the civil war from our school his
tories. a movement which has orig
mated in the south: and has been
favored by some northern people.
There is nothing offensive in the
teaching of the civil war story to
the young people as we advocate it.
The teaching is in the interests of
truth, to have the facts of history
understood by our younger genera
tion. The people of the south
thought they were right and waged
a good fight, but the war is over,
and it is for us today to apply it's
lessons. If we forget the past we
ignore the greatest teacher we can
ever have. Even now the histories
we have in the schools deal meagerly
with the facts of that period.''

Potato Crop ImperiIed.

In view of the fact that an at
tempt is being made by foreign
growers to have the embargo on po-
tatoes coming to this country raised,
W. 81. Terrell has very properly in
terested himself to the extent of
preparing comprehensive. treatise
which gives reasons why such en-
barge should not be lifted. In this
treatise, copy of which has been
sent to various agricultural colleges,
Mr.. Terrell furnishes data showing
shat many Infectious potato diseases
in fact all the diseases which nave
affected potatoes in this country
have been introduced from foreign
lands. =
With his treatise he incloses a
pamphlet published by the board of
agriculture for Scotland, showing
that the wart and other potato dis
eases are prevalent in that country.
He sets forth ample reasons why the
embargo should not be removed and
urges growers and others to strenu.
ously oppose the proposition. H.

Dealers Awaiting Outcome of Confer
ence on Proposition to Raise
Embargo on Potatoes.

Pronounced stagnaton prevails in
the local potato market and similar
conditions are reported from many
producing centers throughout the
country. Farmers are hauling but
few potatoes to market, and dealers
are making scarcely any shipments
although slight stiffening of prices
is reported from the big purchasing
centers and refrigerator cars are
plentiful. The market is virtually
cup in the air''-dealers are await
ing the outcome of the conference
to be held in Washington on Deem
Der Is between representatives of
the United States and foreign
countries on the proposition of rails
ing the embargo on European grown
potatoes:
As large proportion of the pota-
toes imported from Europe of
them coming from Ireland and Scot
land-are infected with powdery
scab and other diseases which spread
rapidly, every effort should be put
forth by the agricultural colleges
and the growers of the United
States to prevent the lifting of the
embargo. It is a well-known fact
that all the potato diseases known
in this country were imported from
Europe. =

Project Doesn't Look Good.

L. w. Normandin, town clerk Of
Greenbush, and Carl A.. Petersen
were in Princeton on Tuesday and
called to tell the Union about a
proposed railroad to run from Winni-
peg to Minneapolis which will in
tersect the towns of Greenbush and
Blue Hill. 1t seems that Mr.. Nor
nandin has been corresponding with
man named Wiley, the promoter of
this ''paper'' road, asking that
Greenbush bond itself in the sum
of $4,000, to be paid to the railway
company, which calls itself the en-
DEPENDENT, when the road is COM
pleted in January, 1916, and meet
ing will be held to consider the
proposition. The same proposition,
we understand, has been put up to
the town of Blue Hill.
tAs-so far as we can ascertain
not even preliminary survey for
such road has been made, we adj
wise our Greenbush and Blue Hill
friends to go slow on the proposition.
To US, at least, thes project doesn It

Skeleton of Indian Warrior Unearthed.

A story published in the Tribune
at Granite Falls says that the skele-
ton of an Indian warrior, with a
stone Ratchet in his hand, rings in
his ears and beads around his neck,
vas unearthed last week two miles
south of that village. The skeleton
was in an upright position in the
bank OF creek which runs through
the Indian settlement and the abo-
regimes have various ideas of how it
came to be in standing posture.
Some of the old Indians say the
warrior was shot during one of the
BATTLES in ancient times, that he was
stood against tree and that the
sands of the creek gradually swal-
lowed him up, while others contend
that he froze to death in his tepe
and was washed down to the river
bank in the springtime. The old
chap must have possessed mighty
grip to have. hung on to that Ratchet
through all the centuries.

A Good One on Joe.

A few days ago Herr Joe Mossman
discovered stray hog in the rail-
road yards and, knowing that Clint
Slater was shipping upon that day,
supposed that the animal had es-
capped fom the stockyards. By using
persuasive language and a club Joe
managed to drive the hog to the
stockyards, where he turned it in
with the hogs belonging to Clint.
Clint rewarded Joe for his trouble
by presenting him with handful
of good cigars, and the hogs were in
due course shipped to South ST. Paul
and sold. Then it was discovered
that the stray hog belonged to Louis
Solberg, who lives near the depot
1t had escaped from it's pen. Louis
now threatens to sue Joe and Clint
for stealing the animal. That's all.

by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Mora
Methodist church on Friday even
ing and Saturday afternoon, proved
rare treat for those who witnessed
it. Every character in the play was

done no better-and there we're no
men in the cast to mar the attrac-
tiveness of the acts. The play
throughout was the acme of perfec-
tion-the Union does not recall any

outclassed it. Mora has real
actresses stars at that-in

Village Council.

The village council met in regular
session on Tuesday evening but, with
the exception of big grist of bills,
the business requiring attention was
light.

be supplied with siren for the hose
cart to replace the WORKOUT gong
now in use, and also for number of
mechanical tools. Chief Davis was
Instructed to obtain the necessary
equipment.
The question of the removal of Joe

again for discussion and Recorder
Hatch Was instructed to examine
the village plat and ascertain with
certainty whether the shop is
situated upon public street of
Princeton. If found to be so stu
ated the shop will be torn down, as
Mr.. feathers has been served with
notice to remove it and has failed to
comply with the order.
The council accepted the deed of
Mrs. G. II. Rines giving the right

Long Siding and Pease and crossing
the river at Milaca for the state
highway; he claims that such a road
would be more central and accommo-
date more people. Others maintain
that the route favored by Mr.. Mink
would be expensive to put in shape
and maintain. The shortest and
most practical route between Prince
ton and Milaca should be selected.
and it will require a survey by COM
petent engineers to determine which
is the best route. The Union is
not prejudiced in favor of any par
ticular road. The main thing is to
get good hard-surfaced road from
Princeton to Mile Laos lake and as
near the center of the county as con-
ditiOnS will permit.

Duluth Forging to the Front.

Partly to it's natural advantages
and largely to its energetic CONNER
cial club is due the fact that Duluth
is growing with remarkable rapidity
and making the twin cities sit up
and take notice.: Public Affairs, a
brochure issued monthly by the Du-
luth Commercial club, tells the. tale
of progress. It says, among other
things: Statistics for 1913 will
show Duluth's substantial progress
over the year 1912. Figures on ore
shipments for the year show that
the shipments will exceed BY 2,O00,-
COO tons the movement for 1912. For
the first ten months of the year Du-
luth building records showed a gain
of 81 per cent, Duluth leading the
cities of the country. Other statis-
tics are also expected to show sub
stantial increases. =

Growth Of Geological Survey.

During the last six years the field
Investigations Of the United States
Geological Survey and the office work
connected with them have shown re-
markable growth, according to the
annual report recently made to Sec
Rotary Lane. Notwithstanding the
fact that within this period the for
mer technologic branch of the Survey
has become an independent organiza-
tion, the Bureau Of Mines, the older
bureau is larger now than it was six
years ago.
In personnel the net growth Of the
Survey since 1907 has been 81 per
cent; in general correspondent the
increase has been 43 per cent; the
total distribution of reports and
maps has increased o per cent; the
increase in maps sold, Is per cent;
and total cash receipts from sales Of
publications are larger by 60 per cent
than in 1907.
The activities imposed by congress
upon the Geological Survey have
been increasing faster than the APP
preparations provided therefor, until
now it is all too apparent that the
organization is undermined and
underequipped. The demand upon

A Bad Blow to Wahkon.

1t is very m uch regretted by every
one that the Duluth Brewing Co..
owner Of the Rex hotel, has resolved
to close the place, as a result of the
village council refusing to grant a
liquor license last Monday night. 1t
is understood that the place will be
closed next Saturday night.
The Rex is one of the finest
hotels in the state, outside of the
large cities. Though some assert
that the place, could not be pro6tably
run without the bar, there are
others experienced in the hotel
business-who5sa that it can. 1t is
quite probable that if the brewing
company will lease the building at a
reasonable figure a tenant could be
secured who would give satisfaction
to all concerned Wahkon Enter
prise. III
The closing of the Rex is to be
regretted not only by the citizens of
Wahkon but by the people Of the
entire lake region and the hundreds
of tourists who visit the incom-
parably beautiful lake. Time and
again the writer has been asked,
"What sort of hotel accommodations
can we obtain at Mile Laos lake?"
It was a pleasure to US to answer.
since the Rex was opened, "a No. 1.
AS good as you can find anywhere in
the state" It was just beginning
to be generally known that good &C.
Communications could be secured at
the lake, and more tourists visited
Mile Laos lake last summer than
ever before in it's history.
We do not know the local condi.
lions at Wahkon, but we can well
see how refusing to grant a Liquor
license to the hotel would injuriously
affect it's profitable management
Anyhow, it is too bad that the Rex
has been closed to the public, espe
cially so when improved roads will
make Mile Laos lake so easily acces
sible to outing parties and tourists.
