MCGUIRE HAPPY

C. o. Mcclure. who owns a fine
ranch some twenty-five miles
south of town, came in this week
with a load of produce for sale,
also bringing ip Q fine exhibit of
feterita, maize, kaffir, etc., for
this office.
He says that after a residence
of many years in Oklahoma it
certainly is fine feeling to live
in a section like this; that he has
never seen such crops in his life
as are produced here and that
all his old Oklahoma friends will
receive letters from him advising
them to move here.
He has some thirty acres of
feterita and maize that would
take a premium at any fair in
the world, besides raising fine
garden.

r. N. Cooley Appointed.

Upon recommendation of the Mile
Laos board of county commissioners
the state highway commission has
appointed R. M. Cooley to succeed
r. S. Chapman as district engineer
for Mile Laos county. At the same
time Mr.. Cooley will supervise the
road work in Kanabec county until
the engineer appointed to take
charge becomes familiar with the re-
quirements. The Kanabec commits
sioners asked that Mr.. Cooley be ap-
pointed state highway engineer in
that county but Mile Laos made a
prior request
Mile Laos county is fortunate in
securing so capable a state highway
engineer as Mr.. Cooley. He is
thoroughly familiar with his work
and can be depended upon to devote
his whole time to the performance Of
his duties. The Union welcomes
him to Princeton. =:

VOLUME XXXVIII. NO. 5

Palmer system being used in both.
Much credit is due our eighth
grade teachers-Miss King and Miss
Benda-for their painstaking work
with the pupils. They put forth
every effort to perfect them in their
parts and well did they succeed. We
feel, too, that those who have had
the benefit of our village schools are
showing the results of training all
along the line.
Thanks are due to Mrs. C. A.
Galley and to Miss Anna Wikeen for
their efficient help in furnishing the
music and assisting otherwise with
the Whittier school program, and the
members Of the high school or
chestra, who have so materially helped
make this entertainment an unuuali-
fed success are also entitled to more
than passing mention. We should
not forget that we are most
fortunate in having such a
musical organization. It is not
usual, by any means, for a high
school in a community no larger than
Princeton to possess an orchestra of
SO marked an ability and with So
talented and capable director.
The literary part of the program
was planned by Miss Huse and was
under her direction In planning
and executing entertaining programs
Miss Huse is unsurpassed.
The spelling book used in the con-
test was the ''Bailey-Man]y.'' This
book was suggested by Superinten-
dent White of Elk River, but the
words used in the contest were the
common words that can be found in
any eighth-grade spelling book.
The armory upon. this occasion
showed that it's seating capacity is
none too great-the big auditorium,
with it's gallery, was packed to the
doors, but seats were found for
everyone. 1t would have been i'm
possible to accommodate an assem-
blage of like proportions in any other
building in Princeton. Hence, it
has already been shown that the
armory is a necessity despite the
assertions of knockers to the con-
trary. Not alone Company G but the
whole community can well feel proud
OF this magnificent structure.

Hill Gives Good Advice.

Alta meeting Of the state agricul-
tural society in St. Paul last week
James J. Hill was the principal
speaker, and hereunder are given a
few extracts from his corn1nonsense
address,: 49, .~-- .'*-:,.
"All this talk about helping the
farmer will fail unless it is confined
to what he can do on his land with
his hands. The farmers crop is not
raised. with his chin but by hard
work. Some say the farmer hasn't
amusement enough, that his children
want to come to town to see the
motion pictures and get their hair
banged, but give the farmer good
land and proper methods to put
money into the bank and he will
take care of the social side Of his
own life. A good farm is the best
security in the world for loans and
the rates on farm land are about as
low as on anything else. Ali this
talk about cheaper money for the
farmer comes from Washington.
There is no comparison between con-
ditions in this country and in Europe
where there are schemes for making
small loans to farmers for various
objects. Buy all the land you can
cultivate but don't buy for specula-
tion. Make the farm work IL months
in the year instead of only four or
five. H.. 49,. - 80. ~ :.-:.
81 hope to see alfalfa as common
in Minnesota as wheat has been. It
makes a good stand for ten years and
the land is better at the end than in
the beginning. Find out the needs
of the land, get the soil tested and
learn what it lacks. There is not
one strictly prime steer in the state
of Minnesota and not one really
prime beef carcass comes to market
from this state. The fault is in the
feeding as much as in the breeding.
You can raise as good beef in Min
nesota as anywhere in the world.
Alfalfa is my prescription for raising
good beef. Rutabagas pay well and
help to balance the: ration. The
time has come, or will come, when a
farmer can make a good profit on
land at $500 an acre. There is no
reason why the farmer cannot make
two or three times his present in

Williams Potato Warehouse Burns.

S. W. Williams potato warehouse,
with it's entire contents, was con-
suned by fire yesterday morning.
The alarm sounded at $50, but the
warehouse, being of wooden con-
struction, burned rapidly and the
fire department. was unable TO make
any impression upon the great
volume of fame. ~.
In the warehouse was stored five
carloads Of potatoes belonging to W.
H. Ferre]l & Co. and from 10000 to
$4,000 bushels of spuds owned by Mr..
Williams
Terrell & Co. carried an insurance
of 81, 900 on their stock, and hence
will lose fully $500 by the fire.
Williams carried an insurance Of
$4,000 on the potatoes and $1,000 on
the warehouse and equipment.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from either defective stove
or stovepipe in the northwest corner
of the basement, but this is only
conjectural. Mr.. Williams appears
to have been particularly unfor-
tunate in the matter of fires, he
having upon several occasions lost
his warehouses and their contents
through this agency.
An incident which, fortunately,
resulted in but little damage, &C.

The team attached to the hose cart,
driven by Art Roos, when rounding
John Goulding's corner, ran away
and capsized the wagon, precipitat-
ing Randall, Kaliher, Art and Bill
Roos and John Brennan into the

ceived slight bruises but were not
incapacitated for duty. The team
was stopped about a block away by.

right side up, and the fire laddies pro-
ceeded to the scene Of the blaze

Here is Mr.. Wiley's Opportunity.

One, John M. Wiley, "chief en-
gineer in charge of location,'' by
|specious promises induced the voters
of Greenbush to vote $4,000 in five
per cent 20 years bonds to aid in the
construction of an imaginary rail-
road. (Mr. Wiley's map-a blue
print-shows the proposed railroad
as beginning on the western bound
airy of Anoka county and terminal
ing on the nothern boundary Of
Roseau county,. He, or one of his
cappers, in an anonymous communi-
cation published in a local news
paper, claimed that the Union was
ignorant of the law, because the
Union asserted that a proposition
for aid from a municipality in con-
structing a railroad must be definite
and must be made by an organized
railroad company through, it's presi-
dent and secretary. The attorney
general of the state of Minnesota
says the. Union was right. =
The town OF Greenbush, by a vote
OF 10 to 40, voted to grant the aid re-
Quested by Mr.. Wiley, ''chief en-
gineer in charge of ]ocation.'' Now
the town board of Greenbush refuses
to issue the bonds. Mr.. Wiley has a
remedy and, if he is acting in good
faith, if he and his associates mean
to build railroad, he will immedi-
|ately avail himself of that remedy
Let him apply to the district court
flor a writ of mandamus to compel
the town board Of Greenbush to
carry out the expressed wishes of the
voters by issuing the bonds.
The Union dares Mr.. Wiley TO .ap-
ply for a writ of mandamus. He
will not do it. He dare not do it.
Mr.. Wiley knows full we'll that the
bonds cannot be legally issued. He
also knows that if he brought the
matter into court his stock-selling
scheme would be exposed and laid
bare. Come now, Mr.. Wiley, it is
your move.

as Mile Laos county. There are
some errors in the spelling of names,
but in the main the list will be
found to be fairly accurate. 1t cost

Pleased With the Dictionary.

Hans P. Peihl, a former resident
of Greenbush and now manager of
the three-thousand acre Thompson
farm at Hunter, n. d., writes:
''The dictionary is very much
better than 1 expected for the
amount, although I was satisfied
that if the Uni on had not been con-
WINGED that it. was a bargain it
would not have touched the PROPOSE
tion. notice that Greenbush voted
bonds for that fake railroad, but 1
was also glad to learn that the town
board has decided to be governed by
the attorney generals advice, and
will refuse to issue the bonde. I feel
certain that if the Union had deemed
the proposition bona fde, and that
the voting of the bonds would have
secured railroad for Greenbush, it
would have advised the adoption of
the proposition.
Mr.. Peihl is right. Had PROPOSE
tion been submitted to Greenbush
by a responsible company the Union
would unhesitatingly have advised
the good people of that town to vote
the bonds. But we regard Mr..
Wiley as an irresponsible promoter
who, later on, will attempt to dis
pose of stock in his fake railroad,
and that bonds voted by towns along
the route of his imaginary road will
be his stock in trade to induce
suckers to buy the stock.

suggested that the city be plotted off
into separate districts, and that there
should be a vigilance committee to
see that all fences were kept in re-
pair and neatly painted, or have same
done at the expense of the city.
Whitewash, he said, was the greatest
factor in the making of a clean and
beautiful town. He also stated that
flowers in one district of the city
should be different from those in
neighboring parts, so that the city
would be aflame with bloom at all
times of the year. The next meeting
of the Civic Club will be in January,
at which time election of officers will
