Must Be Stoned.

The mayor of Edgerton, this state,
proclaims that hereafter he will arrest
anyone, no. matter who they are, who
are found speeding in that village.
The only course that council can
take is to adhere to the law. Suppose
a child is killed by a reckless driver
How long would it take the citizens to
rise in their wrath: and demand that
speeding be stopped: Put an end. tc
the speeder before he puts an end tc
a human life.-Levang's Lanesborc

The Federal government has been
to some expense in an effort to obtain
recruits for the National Guard, and
thus far the results have not been
what might be termed gratifying. In
fact Guard recruiting may be discon-
tinued. A decent wage for the SOL
diers would doubtless stimulate pa
triotism and recruiting.

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, 1916

and on to Walker and International
Falls: This road is part of the soa
called Scenic Highway and, save foi
stretches in 3northern Sherburne and
northern Mile Laos, is in fair condi-
ton between Brainerd and Minneap-
olis-and for these stretches the High
way Commission has agreed to. recon-
mend Federal aid to the extent Of $685.
900. In Mile Laos county it is pro-
posed to meet the Federal aid by a
moderate bond issue. This road will
materially aid in developing country
rich in natural resources, will be of
immense benefit to farmers and will
be the main highway to the beauty
spots Of central northern Minnesota.
In this connection we quote herewith
an editorial from the Minneapolis
Journal Of the 7th inst, which the
Union heartily endorses save that
too much credit is given the State
Automobile Association:
THE DULUTH ROAD FIRST.
Of all the various projects for trunk
road Improvement in this State, that
for serviceable, all-weather highway
between the Twin Cities and Duluth
is by far the most important. Such
road will connect the three largest
cities of the state, and besides accom-
modating large normal traffic, will
attract numerous touring motorists to
Minnesota. Many Of these would like
to come by water to Duluth and thence
tour the state. But the road condi-
lions at present are too uncertain for
the venture.
The State Automobile Association,
therefore, gives the State Highway
Commission sound advice, when it
urges that the first road recommended
for the use of Federal funds be the
Twin City Duluth highway. While
the commission has not yet taken ac-
ton, it is evidently favorably i'm
pressed with this suggestion, and it's
recommendation to chat effect would
certainly receive the approval of the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The avowed purpose Of the Federal
ing Of trunk highways through the
VdI1OuS OCdCcS dLu COIl1lcCC1uS WILL
each other. Minnesota is deplorably
undeveloped in this respect and much
progress can be made, now that the
Federal government stands ready to
contribute a dollar for every dollar
furnished by the State, up to the
amount of our allotment.
The automobile organization, made
up of enthusiastic propagonists ofgood
roads, urges that "all roads to be built
under the Federal roads aid act be
combinations of roads already hard
surfaced, the idea being to build out
from centers of population rather than
to build small patches of disconnected
roads which start nowhere and land
nowhere"
This is precisely what the Journal
has urged since the bill was passed.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether Federal
approval can be obtained for road i'm
provements made on any other basis.
The Duluth road fits in admirably with
the system of roads radiating from the
Twin Cities at one end and the fine
roads to the Ranges at the other end.
It is highly important link. No time
should be lost in putting it through.

GREAT CROWD
SEES FUNERAL
OF Sixteen Members Of a Yep
peIin Crew Killed in an
Air Raid.
,nr Asseel,trn .s,n.

LONDON. Sept Ga great crowd
gathered Wednesday to witness the
funeral OF sixteen members OF the
crew OF the Zeppelin. which was
brought down during Saturday
nights raid. In view OF the strong
protest against the burial OF the Ger-
man aIrmen with military honors, a
strong force OF police was on duty
to maintain order. The whole route
to the cemetery in the little village OF
Potters Bar, whore the bodies OF the
Germans were buried. was lined with
police.
During the night a common grace
was prepared for the men and a small
Ter one for the German officer.
Spectators began to arrive by train,
automobile and bicycle long before
noon and seized on the hill near the
entrance to the cemetery as a point
of vantage. Others gathered In near
by fields for entrance to which far
mers made small charge.
The funeral procession was simple.
There WINS nothing resembling n mil
itary pageant and the crowd which
saw II pass was silent and unmoved.
At the head was a military lorry,
which carried coffin containing the
body Of the Zeppelin's commander.
Another lorry bore the collins OF the
crew. a number OF British airmen
rode in the procession.
A man In an automobile threw
something at the British airmen but
the crowd promptly rebuked him. AS
the procession was entering the Gem
etery woman threw two eggs and
the crowd again protested.
The body of the German officer
was borne to the grave by six officers
OF the royal flying corps. The other
collins were carried by men OF the
same corps. The service at the grave
side was an abrevlatIon OF the ordl-
nary Church OF England ceremony
conducted by army chaplains The
sounding Of taps was the only char
acteristic OF military funeral by
which the ceremony was marked.

OIL WELL WORKERS
ARE BADLY BURNED
BY GAS EXPLOSION
When a Pocket of Oil is Struck
on the Highland Farm Near
West Milford.
ONE MOST SURE TO DIE
While the Others Condition is
Such That He, Too,
May Die.

Resulting from an oil and gas ex-
plosion and fire which occurred at
I o'clock Wednesday morning on the
Highland farm near West Milford,
where Flint and Strother, oil and gas
well contractors, werc drilling a well
for the Vesper Gas Company, Frank
NJ. Clausson, OF Adamston, driller,
and George Cornell. OF $50 Mulberry
street. tool dresser. are patients in
St Mary's hospital suffering from
burns which in all probability will
prove fatal to Claussou and may
prove fatal for Cornell.
Strike Oil Pocket.
According to story told by Mr..
Cornell at the hospital at noon Wed
nesday he and Clausson had Just fin-
ished dressing bit when they struck
a pocket Of oil and 1t flowed to the
top OF the derrick. The oil ignited
from the FIRE In the forge. and the
oil set on the gas. An explosion fol
lowed and It was heard for miles
around. Houses half mile away
were shaken by the explosion.
Men working on other wells on the
farm hearing the explosion and seeing
the tlre ran to the assistance OF the
men. George Holmes, driller, the
FIRST to reach the scene, found Claus
son near the boiler house where he
was working when the explosion oc-
Cured. ClausBOn's clothes were all
on fire and II took Holmes several
minutes to get the fire put out. He
rolled Clausson in the grass and in
this manner finally extinguished the
flames.
Tears on Clothing.
By this time several other men
were on the scene and they looked
around the well for Cornell but could
not find him. They then thought that
he might have been in the rig when
the explosion occurred and was dead.
However, some Of the men started to
search for him around the well and
he was found about fifty yards away,
where he had run after his clothing
caught FIRE. He had taken his burn
ing clothes off as he ran away from
the well and was almost nude when
found.
Rushed TO Hospital.
A physician was summoned and
both men were rushed to st. Mary's
hospital where their injuries were
dressed.
Clausson is badly burned on the
abdomen, chest, back, legs. arms,
hands and face, He is in the worst
condition. Cornell is burned on the
chest, arms, legs. hands and face.
The fire completely destroyed the
rig. boiler house and every thing
around the well. Flint and Stroth-
er's loss will be more than $4,000.
1t could not be learned today wheth-
er the we'll was damaged any or not.
