Coal We Can't Get.

Beyond the depth of 4,000 feet it is impossible to get coal as rule. The great heat is the chief obstacle in penetrating below 4,000 feet. At a depth of only .3,00O feet the tempera- ture of the earth amounts to 9S de- grees. The pressure of tho air and coal above is another obstacle in the way. In the Deekinfield colliery, at depth of about 2,500 feet, the pressure became so great that it crushed ill cir cular arches of brick four feet in thick ness, and in one case a pillar of cast iron, 12 inches square, supporting roof only seven feet ill extent, was snapped in two. It was estimated by the royal coal commissioners that the English coalfields contain, beneath the mining limit of 4,000 feet, no less than 4S,4S6,0 100000 tons of coal. Science some day will undoubtedly find a means of getting this vast quantity to the service.-Exchange.

From Lieut.. Morton.

Under date of August 4, Lieut..
Claud S. Morton writes gossipy
private letter from Llano Grande in
which he states that the boys are all
we'll. Speeder Of Foreston who was at
the base hospital at San Antonio for
ten days, is back with Company G at
Llano Grande as we'll as ever. Com
pany G was not as hard hit by sickness
as some Of the other companies. Lieut..
Morton thinks the camp quartermas-
ter, Captain Carleton, has done re-
markably we'll to get things in as good
shape as they are, considering the dis
advantages under which he labored
at first.
Ice for drinking water is obtained
from Corpus Christi, through Mr..
Allen, who is the son-in-law of Fred
Stamm, former Princetonian In the
letter were enclosed three pictures,
one of them showing the boys at work
making roads around the camps. The
roads certainly look good on paper
and Lieut.. Morton says they are good.

Crops Fair in This Vicinity.

Nowhere between Princeton and De-
troit is there better crops than in Mile
Laos county, and they are nothing to
brag of here at that. All along the
line of the N: P. from St. Cloud to
Detroit the small grain is very short,
heads poorly filled, and where it has
been cut the shocks are scattering.
From the car windows it looked as if
there would not be more than half
a crop of small grain-rye, wheat and
oats. Corn looked fairly we'll. The
potato vines are sickly and spindling
Clover seems to be good everywhere
this year.
Locally the crop conditions might
be termed fair. Oats, on sandy soil
especially, are light and some fields
will not be cut. On the heavy soil
there is an abundance of straw but
the heads are not we'll filled. Rye
will not be more than two-thirds of
an average crop. The acreage of wheat
is small and the yield promises to be
fair. Potatoes have not been doing
we'll but the recent rains have helped
out the late varieties. Corn in south
ern Mile Laos county looks good and
the indications are that there will be
a good average yield. There will be
immense crops of clover, tame and
wild hay. On the whole the crops in
this vicinity are above the average
throughout the state.

An Exceedingly Dangerous Bridge.

An Exceedingly Dangerous Bridge.
The bridge across the St. Francis
river in section 80, town of Glen
dorado, in Benton county, is in a
condition, and is absolutely
unsafe either for teams or automo-
biles. The bridge in question has been
shaky for years and should have been
torn down and rebuilt long ago. But
now it is positively dangerous. In two
or three places there are great holes
in the rotten planks and the entire
structure is liable to collapse at any
moment. This bridge is located on the
main road from Princeton to St. Cloud
and hundreds Of teams and automo-
biles are obliged to cross it daily. 1t
is the duty of the county commission
ers to properly care for it as the road
is a state road. While the courts
have held that town or county can
not be held responsible for damages
resulting from faulty bridge, yet
there are cases where township and
county officers have been held per-
sonally liable for criminal negligence
in the discharge Of their duties. The
Benton county commissioners are
criminally negligent every day the St.
Francis bridge is permitted to remain
in it's present unsafe condition.
Commemorate progress in the mat
ter of road improvement has been
made in Benton county in recent years,
and we are at loss to understand
why the st. Francis bridge has been
so persistently neglected.

Permanent Roads a Good Investment

Permanent Roads a Good Investment
Until quite recently the Union has
not regarded with favor any PROPOSE
ton for bonding the county for road
improvement purposes. There has
been a great change for the better in
road conditions throughout the county
in the past three or four years, but
at the present rate of Improvement
many of US will be numbered with
those that were before a general sys-
tenn Of good roads has been established
throughout the county. We want bet
ter roads and we want them now. We
believe that it would pay Mile Laos
county large dividends to make .rea-
sonable investment in permanent
roads within the next twelve months.
Anyhow, there is nothing to be lost
by an intelligent, good natured discus
sion of the matter, and the Union
proposes to discuss it thoroughly
later on.

Would Benefit Entire County.

That the people of the northern part
Of the county are fully alive to the
Importance of permanently improving
that part of the Minnesota Scenic
Highway that traverses Mile Laos
county was amply demonstrated at
enthusiastic meetings held at Onamia
and Wakhon recently. Every hustler
in the lake region attended both
meetings and the sentiment was
unanimous in favor of energetic
action to complete the road without
Unnecessary delay. A properly con-
structed surfaced road running
through the center Of the county it's
entire length would be of immense
benefit to the county as whole and
would be of greater benefit to the lake
region than a north and south railroad.

Didn't Want Him Very Badly.

A fellow named Dennis Chukallis
patted a brother Greek on the head
with a shovel near St. Cloud some
weeks ago. Since then the sheriff of
Stearns county has been on the look
out for Dennis. Last week the marshal
of Milaca had picked up Dennis for
some violation of the law. Sheriff
Schooner requested that he be held
until he could send for him. The
Mllaca marshal turned the prisoner
over to deputy sheriff. The deputy
sheriff was accommodating and per-
mitted Dennis to visit some Of his
friends on work train. Dennis said
he would be back in time to meet the
officer from St. Cloud. The officer ar
rived in good season but Dennis failed
to show up. This is the story as
related in the St. Cloud Journal-Press
But the facts are that the Stearns
county officials we're not overly
anxious to get Dennis or they could
have had him, as he was in the vicinity
of Princeton the day after he vanished
from Milaca, but no effort was made
to apprehend him. 49,

The fire alarm sounded at O'Clock

partment had extinguished a blaze in
the ceiling Of the Creglow ! store.
Lightning followed wire into the

mendation for their prompt and eff

NOTES.,

Last Sunday Captain Johnson and
Lieutenant Kalkman girded on their
automatics, filled their pockets with
government bareback, slung their field
glasses on their backs and started
south. At the end Of seven or eight
r1ile hike they found themselves on
the bank of the Rio Grande, looking
over into dreamy, war-torn Mexico,
''the land of sunshine and of shadow"
They describe this famous river at this
particular point as being sort of
vest pocket edition of the muddy Mis-
souri,. A dirty, yellowish stream of
uncertain depth and about half the
width of the Missouri. No signs of
life were seen on the other side, al
though the captain thought at one time
that he detected troop of Mexican
horsemen, with his field glasses, at a
turn in a distant road.
They visited several Mexican homes
on this side Of the border and report

FUND FOR THE BOYS
Rev. Joseph Willenbrink First to Re-
spOnd-Miss Clara Larson Raised
$25.25 in Princeton Town.
Subscriptions Will Be Received Until
Aug. 19-The Money Will Be
Forwarded to Texas.

Last week the Union made request
for subscriptions for small fund to
forward to the boys of Company G, to
enable them to have little necessities
which the government does not fur
nish, and while the boys are not beg
ging, nor are we begging for them,
still we have reason to believe that a
voluntary donation would be ac-
ceptable at this time: If any one
wishes to contribute leave or send
the same to the Union office on or
before Saturday evening, August 49,.
Whatever is received, be it much or
little, will be forwarded to Sergeant
Grover Umbehocker, treasurer of the
company, on the 21st inst.
The first response to the Unions
appeal came from the respected pas
tor of the Catholic church, Rev. Joseph
Willenbrink, who enclosed check for
$500, accompanied by card contain
ing these words:
= Dear Mr. Dunn:
Enclosed find my mite for the
boys in Texas. IT'S little enough
we can do for them.
Yours truly,
JOS. WILLENBRINK.
This morning Miss Clara Larson of
Princeton town handed in a list of
names and $25.25. The amount was
raised by her in Princeton township.
Good for Miss Larson. The boys will
remember her. Several other small
subscriptions have been received. All
will be duly acknowledge in the Union
after next week.
We sincerely hope there will be a
generous response. Other towns are
caring for their boys in good shape.
Let us take care Of the Company. G
boys. Send or hand in your subscfip-
lions before Saturday evening, Aug
ust 10.

The Llano Grande league has now
been opened and baseball games, some
good and some bad, are INDUCED in
almost daily by the different organiza-
tions. So far the team of the Second
battalion has shown up the strongest
in the Third Minnesota. Saturday the
Third battalion beat the First by a
score of S to 1. Sunday the Second
took on the victorious Third and shut
them out to 0. Two Company G men
broke into the lineup Of the Second
battalion and aided materially in put
ting over the win. Smith and Doane
represented the G. outfit and both gave
a good account of themselves. Smith
carried off the batting honors, getting
an average of $50, or three safe wal
lops out of four trips to the plate.
Wilkes was scheduled to pitch the
game but did not feel strong enough to
go in at the start and was held back in
reserve. It was such easy picking for
the first lineup that no changes were
made. When the Third regiment team
is picked there may be some of the G
men in it.
Camp Llano Grande keeps growing
into quite cosmopolitan place with

incinerators, hoored and screened-in
tents in part of the camp and reported
screened-in cook-shanty and dining
hall for the men. In other words, it
begins to look like permanent home
for some of us.
All the married men in the company
with the exception of two have made
application for their discharge under
the recent ruling of the war depart
ment permitting married men with
dependent families to receive their
honorable discharge. MIKE.
