Small Blaze at e. Nelson's,

Fire, originating from a gas light
in E. Nelson & Co. IS store, damaged
goods in the southeast show window
on Tuesday evening to the extent of
probably 800 besides cracking the
glass. Mr.. Nelson had minute or
two before applied light to the jet,
and the superstition is that the
pressure from the gas tank caused a
fame to shoot down through the
mantle and ignite several bolts of
curtain material which were in the
show window. A. M. Davis and Art
Roos happened to be near at the
time and they, together with Mr..
Nelson, succeeded in extinguishing
the blaze by the application of a few
buckets of water. The fire was
nipped in it's incipiency, before it
had time to spread.

Lincoln Day Exercises in Schools.

Contrary to the usual custom,
school was held on Lincoln's BIRTH
day this year and appropriate ex-
ercises were held in the various
grades. In the high school an ex-
cellent program was rendered. The
school sang several patriotic selec-
tions, then several short parts bear
ing on the life, character and states
manship of Lincoln were given by
the pupils. One of these parts de-
serves special mention, namely, the
Gettysburg address, recited by Nora
Bryson in a most creditable manner.
j. J. Skahen, secretary of the
school board, gave an excellent talk
on Lincoln. He dwelt upon his early
life, character, the great task that
he was called upon to perform, his
ability in handling the problems Of
the time, and his place in history.
The high school orchestra rendered
several very pleasing selections.

Teachers Examinations. Etc.

Returns from Onamia, Milaca and
Princeton for teachers examinations
show an enrolment of seventeen.
This is a very small list for Mile
Laos county. Last year there was
no February examination and, as
most of the certificates expire on
September l, it is possible that the
enrolment for the closing days of
July will be about SO or go.
Many Of the rural schools have
held Lincoln memorial exercises and
others are taking up the life of
Washington for next week.
The state department has sent out
the instructions to the county super
intendent to be distributed to the
various districts that are on the
state aid list. Rules are more
stringent than heretofore. School
clerks will receive rules and blanks
soon. These must be closely followed
this year or the aid will be withheld.
Money is supplied under the law to
meet all requirements, and there is
no justification in allowing any dis
trict to go back into the old rut that
they were in eight and ten years ago.
Nearly all the districts are at
present getting from S75 to $3.50
from the state, and every cent ex-
pended is in line with something
useful to the schools. School boards
must look at these matters in this
light. and meet the conditions as
intended by these wise and healthy
laws
The eighth grade examinations
will be held on March 26 and p.
Ten places or schools have been
selected for these tests, and ten
other schools will be selected for the
May examinations.

An Open Letter to the Public

A good band is a valuable asset to
any live and progressive town.
Princeton has such a band and
should we'll be proud of it. The
young men banded together for the
sole purpose of enhancing the welfare
OF their native Princeton are dill
lgent and faithful workers, and they
are repaying the liberality of Prince
tons business people with every
effort to make good. It costs money
TO maintain an up-to-date band asso-
citation, and only through the help
OF the towns businessmen has it
been possible to accomplish the re-
suits attained. But money alone is
not the only factor, far more impor-
tant for bands success is the good
will and enthusiastic support of the
people as whole towards the hand
and its efforts to please and enter
tain. 1t is not encouraging for the
boys, when they arrange a concert
requiring good deal of hard work
IN preparation, to face empty benches
and lukewarm reception from their
nelghbors as happened a couple of
months ago. The boys need the
hearty and cheerful support of every
man, woman and child of the town.
and it is to be hoped that at their
next concert, advertised for March
., the armory will hardly be big
enough to hold the crowd of people
that will attend and cheer the boys.
Come one and all and give the glad
hand to the band, and all show the
boys that their efforts are we'll
thought of, and that everybody in
the town is proud of it's bands excel
lent work. @. @. HeinZemann.

Rean was the instigator of the

Harry Shockley, County Attorney
E. Z. Mcmillan and Clerk of Court
r. 81. King, was on Tuesday taken
to ST. Cloud and arraigned before
Judge Roeser, when he pleaded

The Proposed New Railroad.

According to the Anoka Herald
the people along the route of the
proposed new north and south rail-
road from Anoka to Mile Laos lake
and beyond are to be afforded an op-
portunity of taking stock in the
project. 1t will require considera-
BILE means to build and equip such a
railroad and the amount that can be
realized by selling stock to local peo-
pie will not go far in that direction.
The Union still adheres to the
opinion it has expressed on several
former occasions: The first railroad
from the south to reach Mile Laos
lake will be built by the Great
Northern and will commence at
Milaca. -.
Here is what the Herald has to say
with reference to disposing of stock
to people along the route of the pro-
posed railroad:
'The plan. in nutshell is this
Every acre of land within two miles
of the proposed railroad will be in
creased in value not less than twen-
ty-fve dollars an acre. This needs
no argument-it is self evident.
What the company wants is to sell
preferred, worcestershire stock to the
amount of five dollars an acre.
"This money will be put directly
into building the road. The right
of way is, of course, serious prop
osition for possibly somebody may
feel inclined to hold up the road in
this respect. But this is a very re-
mote contingency. For the people
along the proposed line are not of
that kind and will do all that they
can to secure the road.
s'The small amount of stock which
the company is asking for will not
be a serious obstacle to anybody
along the route as the country is
rich along the proposed line and the
people are generous and public

CARELESS Of weather or condition Of

they can make above expenses as
much as $50 per month on an aver

educate his children now, when
everything is so dear, out of salary
of $50 per month? Does the COM

men fair deal by the terms of this
appropriation bill? The laborer is
worthy of his hire.''

BASKET BALL GAMES.
Anoka and Princeton CUNTS Tie in
Swift and Exciting Onset at
the Princeton Armory.
Princeton Highs Put 1t Over the Elk
River School Team in Fierce
and Thrilling Combat.

crowd, which packed every available
seat in the armory last Friday night,
the Princeton basket ball team
fought it out to the bitter end with
the Company B quint from Anoka.
PRINCETON got the jump on the
visitors and scored four clean field
goals before the visitors realized
that the game had started. But,
just as it began to look as if the
game was going to be a one-sided
affair, the Anoka lads took a brace
and began to score a point or two
themselves and, aided by several free
throws, soon had the score in a tie
and for the Reminder of the first
half it was nip and tuck, first one
side taking the lead and then the
other. When the whistle blew for
the end of the first half the score
was tied-l5 to Is.
Anoka came back strong at the
beginning of the second half: swept
the Princeton defense aside momen-
tarily, and scored enough field goals
and free throws from fouls to give
them lead of four or five points
and. as the second half gradually
drew to close, it began to look like
an Anoka victory. At this stage Of
the game Vondeneier went in to
relieve Smith, who was somewhat
handicapped with bad knee, the
result of the Mora game of the pre-
vious week. The peppery little
Dutchman seemed to put new life
into the home guard and, taking a
brace in the face of defeat, they
smashed into the Anoka defense,
swept the visitors off their feet, and
tied the score just as the whistle
blew for the final, thus leaving the
score 80 to 30.
The rules provide that if the score
is a tie at the end of the regular
playing periods the teams, after a
slight intermission, shall continue
tha play until one side scores, the
team first scoring in this after-play
winning the contest.
The Princetonians were out on the
floor ready to finish it up, win or
lose, but the visitors refused to play
off the tie, and the best proposition
they would make was to play the tie
off on the Anoka floor the following
week. The final result of the game
was officially announced as a tie-3O
to 30.
The score really shows the relative
strength of the two teams, although
Anoka scored two fluke field goals
that materially aided them in keep
ing in the running. On the floor
the teamwork of the locals was far
superior to that of the visitors and
they had possession of the ball about
three-fourths of the time. FIRE.
quently they got the ball on the
toss-up and worked it down to the
Anoka basket only to lose the fruits
of their efforts by cratic basket
shooting. On the other hand the
Anoka lads made better use of the
ball when they did get it, and did
some fancy basket shooting from
difficult angles and almost impos-
sible positions.

Pleading for the Mail-Carriers

Hon. James Manahan, representa-
tive at large from this state, is
making a determined fight for an in
crease in the compensation of the
rural mail-carriers. Here is an ex-
tract from a forcible speech made by
Mr.. Manahan in the house on JAN
uary %:
"Mr. Chairman, I have been i'm
pressed very much by the lack of
arguments in opposition to the de-
mand made for an increase in the
salaries of the rural mail-carriers.
Not one word has ever been offered
here, by the committee or by anyone
else, in opposition to the arguments
which have been advanced in favor
of this increase. The point has been
made that their average compensa-
tion is approximately $50 month
after paying the legitimate expenses
of operation. AS representative at
large from Minnesota, I have taken
occasion to examine the certified re-
ports made by every rural free de-
livery carrier in that state, and I
find that when the actual expenses
of repairing their wagons and har-
nesses and feeding their teams are
taken out of their salaries they have
left, on an average, as pay for per-
sonal work and responsibility less
than 5000 for the year; less than $50
per month each. ga
1T requires only the exercise of a
little common sense to realize that a
man can not carry and distribute a
load of mail and parcels over a route

Princeton Versus Milaca.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team came to grief last Tuesday
night at Milaca, when the Milaca
team slipped over a 26 to s victory.
The first half was a battle royal, the
score standing 4 to in favor of Mil
AGA, but in the second half the Mil.
acaites got busy and, taking advan-
tage Of all the peculiarities of their
floor and playing hard, smashing
game. ran away from their scrappy
but out-played opponents. A large
delegation of the high school
students went up to the game by
sleigh and rooted hard for their
team, but the gods of war decreed
that victory was not for them this
time. All report a good time and
courteous treatment.
