Milaca Goes Down to Defeat.

Last Friday night, at the armory,
the town teams representing Milaca
and Princeton fought it out for the
basket ball championship of Mile
Laos Laos county. Princeton proved
too much for their country cousins
from up river and finally vanquished
them-41 to 10. But the score really
does not show the closeness of the
play. for Milaca fought gamely to
the end, and every basket scored by
the Princetonians was dearly
earned score. -
The game was called at rs by
Referee Cooley Of Princeton, and
both teams went into the play in a
determined and aggressive manner.
Neither side scored in the first five
minutes of play although the ball
rolled and twisted around the bas-
kets of both teams at different
times, but without lodging therein
for count. After this period of
play the superior team work of the
locals began to count, and before
long Smith and Vondemeir -shad got
the range of the Milaca basket and
began to run up the Princeton score.
Milaca also got the range and began
to score point or two themselves,
Prof. Garrison doing the bulk of the
scoring for the visitors.
The score at the end Of the first
half was Is to 10 in favor of the

The Blight OF Officeholdine.

Ewing Herbert, a widely known
editor of Hiawatha, ended contin-
uous service Of sixteen years as post
master of Hiawatha last night. ....
This takes the blight off one of the
finest men in Kansas. For sixteen
years the postoffice has hung as
weight around his neck; it bound
him to all sorts of political folderol.
1t led him into evil ways in pol
itics, and it has made him an un-
regenerate standpatter, when in
truth his heart was right. Here's
hoping that in the dawning of the
morning Of the new day in Ewing's
life he may see the light and follow
it as his conscience dictates. The
two curses of every newspaper mans
life in country town are the post
office and the eternal hope of the
county printing. Until a newspaper
is able to live without either, it
never is entirely sure what it is go
ing to do tomorrow.
When postodices are put in the
civil service, and the county adver-
tising is let to the paper with the
largest circulation in the county at
full legal rates without bids, the
real opinions of country editors will
be expressed. -Emporia Gazette.

official proceedings were published
in a newspaper in the west end Of
the county that does not circulate
very extensively in the town Of

day Of hearing did not come to his
notice; the county commissioners
granted the petition and changed
the location Of the road so as to
make it pass several rods east and to
the rear Of Mr.. Bengston's resi-
dence, and allowed him only 800
damages. Mr.. Bengston did not
learn of the action Of the county
board until he received notifica-
ton to move his fences few days
ago, too late to appeal from the
action of the county board. The
change Of location of road will dam
age Mr.. Bengston several hundred
dollars and hevrightly thinks that he
is entitled to more than the 800
awarded him by the commissioners.
He came here recently from Illinois,
is an intelligent go-ahead farmer and
has made many valuable improve
ments on his farm since he came
into possession of the same. Morally,
if not legally, he is entitled to re-
dress at the hands of the Sherburne
county commissioners.
LET the People Rule"
For a week or ten days past several
of our citizens who have the best in
terests of the village at heart have
been endeavoring to bring the fac
lions together and agree upon a
union ticket for village officers, but
so far without success. The Union
had hoped that there would be no
unseemly strife over the village
officers this year and that men
would be selected who would work
to promote the material interests of
the village, who would especially
favor the improvement of our two
principal streets and the roads lead
ing into the village. This, to us,
seems a matter of vital Importance,
not only to the business men but to
the farmers-the latter complain
bitterly of the condition of our
streets in rainy weather and they
have reason to complain.
The Unions advice is this: Dis
regard the wishes of bosses aud mis-
chief-makers. Let the citizens get
together and nominate men for the
village offices who will do their duty
fearlessly and pull together for the
upbuilding of our yillage-especially
men who will favor the improvement
Of our. streets. Relegate the strife
breeders to the rear, and ''let the
people rule -. :. = = ~.

Princeton Well Represented at Picnic

Princeton Well Represented at Picnic.
E. f. Townsend, in a letter to the
Union, tells of a Minnesota state
picnic which was held at Eastlake
park, Los Angeles, on February II.
At this picnic the following persons
who formerly lived in Princeton were
present.: Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Nc
Cle]lan and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Head, Sawtelle, CAL; Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowell Chadbourne, Long Beach,
Cal. F.; Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Brady, Los
Angeles, CAL; Mr.. and Mrs. Chester
Ames, Glendale, Cal. F; Mr.. and Mrs
f. E. Townsend, Salem, Ore; and
John Burch, Portland, Ore. There
were, says Mr.. Townsend, about
5000 people in attendance at the
picnic. Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend send
their regards to their Princeton
friends. H..

NOTES.

A fair sized crowd watched the
performance and impartially cheered
the efforts of victors and vanquished.
r. NJ. Cooley refereed the game
without protest from the players of
either side, and although the game
was hard fought on both sides, it
was remarkably free from fouls and
rough play, and only occasionally did
the referee have to inf1ict a penalty
for violation Of the code. .s...
Prof. Garrison was the star per-
former for the visiting team, and
his floor, work and basket shooting
repeatedly brought applause from
the crowd. The rest of. the Milaca
team played hard, scrappy game,
but lacked the polish of their more
experienced leader.
This coming Friday night there
will be a real treat in store for the
local basket ball enthusiasts, for ar
rangements have been made for
bringing up the fast Anoka high
school team to play the Princeton
highs at the armory. This game
should prove to be a hummer, as
both teams are now going at top
notch speed, and there is an old
grudge of long standing between
these two schools, and any athletic
contest between the two always
brings out the best there is in them
Tuesday night, March 10, Company
B from Anoka will be at the loca
armory to play off the existing tic
with the Company G team of Prince
ton. Several weeks ago these two
teams played a sensational and spec
tacular game at the end of which
the score stood 30 to 30, and this
second game decides which team is
the better one. This game will be
we'll worth seeing, and we venture
to predict it will be the climax oil
the local basket ball season.

Thomas Lee Passes Beyond.


known to his friends, and everyone

Death was the result of old age.
Thomas Lee was born in County
Derry, Ireland, in 1922 and emigrated
to New York in 1914, where he lived
about 10 years. From New York he
went to Michigan and in 1856 came
to Minnesota and filed on a farm in
Greenbush- the Netsel place.
Later he purchased farm in Bald
win and worked at the North Star
hotel while he conducted it. When
the hotel was destroyed by fire he
went upon this farm and resided
there until five or six years ago, when
he came into the village to reside
permanently.
Funeral services will be held from
the Stark residence tomorrow after
noon. Rev. Fisher will officiate at
the obseQuies. ...
'"Tom'' Lee was one of the best
natured old gentlemen who eyer
trod the earth-he always had a
pleasant word for everyone and was
eyeryone's friend. His kindly coun-
tenance will be greatly missed by a
host of people, and long will he be
remembered.
But We Have Faith in Rines.
Drunk as are the tion
forces with over-confdence in the
governors ability to again secure
the republican nomination, they do
not fail to recognize Mr.. Rines'
elements of strength. Mr.. Rines
has since it's inception been identified
with the progressive movement. He
has long been a leader in the house
and during the last term was it's
speaker. In that position he made
good, and inaugurated economic re-
forms which materially lessened the
Legislative expense. He demon
strated also capacity for oragniza-
tion, and during the entire session
maintained an unbroken control of
the progressive forces, without in
volving himself in personal antagon-
ism with those who opposed his poll
cies. Indeed it is significant of Mr..
Rines' political acumen that the
man who is now urging him most
effectively for the auditors office is
r. G. Dunn, who has small sympathy
with the progressive propaganda.

locals, but there were times during
this first period of play when the
Milaca score was just point or two
below the Princetonian count. Art
Roos and Morton played the guard
positions the first half, and it was
due to their close and effective
guarding that the Milaca forwards
failed to register more frequently
than they did. Morton also made
several spectacular dashes down the
floor and scored several baskets.
Heinz was in at the center and
played his usual consistent and
heady game-in fact he was getting
the jump so regularly on the first
Milaca man who opposed him at the
center position that a hurry-up shift
was made in the Milaca lineup, and
Garrison was moved in to center
from the left forward position to
break up Heine's lead-off plays.
With Garrison opposing him he had
a different proposition, and there
was merry old scrap on the toss-up
from this point on.
Both teams came back strong at
the beginning of the second half and
Milaca seemed determined to over
come the point lead of the locals.
But it was Princeton's night to win,
and their dashing style of play
swept the Milaca defense aside, and
soon the ball was finding the Mi]aca
basket with startling regularity.
Milaca fought gamely back, but the
locals were heavier and more ex-
perienced and showed stronger team
and floor work and, after the first
few minutes of play in the second
half, Mi]aca was out of the running
as far as winning the game was con-
cerned, and it settled down to simply
a question of what the score was go.
