Ditching Job Let.

The first definite step toward the
construction of county ditch No. II,
(the Eberhardt ditch) which has occu-
pied the attention of the district court
of Mile Laos county at various terms.
the supreme court of the state, and the
county commissioners on several occa-
sions the past few years, was taken
at the office of the county auditor Tues
day, when Auditor Doane and Engineer
Chapman accepted the only bid sub
mitted to them for the construction of
said ditch. The bid was submitted in
person by J. J. Hankenson of the Ajax
Dredge Co., of Glencoe and was for the
entire work as one job. The sum stip-
ulated to be paid for the work was
$3.50, while the estimated cost of the
ditch was $4,594.O6.
Active construction work will be-
gin about July 1, and the contract en-
tered into between the county and con-
tractors calls for the completion of
the ditch on or before December 1,
next. A small floating dredge will be
used on the main ditch and that part
of the lateral below the railway, while
that part Of the lateral above the rail-
way will be dug by hand or other
means.
The indications are that before 1917
the ditch will exist in reality as we'll
as on paper. +

Schall Club at Onamia.

A club has been organized at
Onamia in the interest of Congress-
man Thomas D. Schall with III men,
bers. G. H. Carr is president and C.
H. Hillemann is secretary of the
club. -. 10y =
At the last meeting of the club Mr..
Schall's action in sending out circu-.
lars to ascertain the views of his con-
stitutents on important public ques-l
tions was Endorsed.
Mr.. Schall is making fine record
in congress, and he seems to be es-
pecially anxious to get the views of
his constituents and served them to the
best of his ability, and although he is
blind, with the assistance of his ex-
cellent little wife,. he is serving them
well and faithfully. :
The Union supported Mr.. Schall in
his contest two years ago, and it was
about the only newspaper in the dis
trict friendly to him. And at the
present writing we know Of no reason
why the Union cannot cheerfully, with
out money and without price, support
him for reelection.

Onamia Creamery Elects Officers.

A cooperative creamery for Onamia
is assured. At a recent meeting in

cided to proceed to build and equip a
creamery Immediately. The officers
are: F. P. Michellis, president; H. E.
Posely, vice-president; N. P. Pearson,
secretary; G. H. Carr, treasurer. Hec-
tor VanRessighem, G. H. Baker and R.

success. rs'.....# ~

State Treasurer Smith Resigns.

Walter J. Smith resigned the office
of state treasurer last Friday, and
Governor Burnquist Immediately ap-
pointed A. c. Gooding, president Of the
First National bank of Rochester to
fill the vacancy. =,
Under the circumstances Mr.. Smith
acted wisely in rendering his resigna-
ton. Had he not resigned it is doubt
full If he could be removed save by i'm
parchment proceedings and that would
have necessitated a special session of
the legislature.
Both Smith and Pickit have been
indicted on several counts by the
Ramsey county grand jury, and both
have entered pleas of not guilty. 4

A Live Commercial Club.

The Monticello Commercial club is
evidently an organization Of ;"live

getting behind an Independence day
celebration in that village to be held
on July 4 next. The club also intends
to take an active interest in road i'm

Farmers Meeting Last Saturday.


Owing to the snow-impeded roads
and lack of proper advertising the
farmers meeting in the court house
hall was not very largely attended last
Saturday afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. H. B. Pratt of Blue Hill, who in q
neat little speech introduced Hon
Magnus Johnson, member of the state
legislature from the Twenty-sixth dis.
trict (Meeker county,
Mr.. Johnson is fluent and convinc.
ing speaker and decidedly aggressive
His discourse was slightly rambling
but there was no mistaking his posi-
ton on questions that vitality affects
the interests Of the farmers. He is an
earnest Equity man and somewhat in
clined, as he said himself, to socialism
Mr.. Johnson is an earnest advocate
of organization and co operation
among farmers. He told of the trials
and tribulations of the farmers of
Meeker county in organizing their var
ious cooperative enterprises and of
how the old line elevator companies
fought them. We made some mis-
takes, he said, but in the main our eff
forts were crowned with success.
He also told of the struggles of the
Equity men in North Dakota and the
opposition they encountered. But
things were coming their way in that
state and leading officials and politi-
clans had espoused their cause.
In no measured terms he paid his
respects to the line elevator compan-
les, the meat combine that robbed both
the producer and the consumer, and
the Minneapolis Chamber Of Com
merce, whose members, he said, were
grain gamblers who dealt largely in
wind. &. i. - ~
The speaker also reminded his at
tentive listeners that J. J. Hill had ad-
vised them to sell their wheat some
time ago when it was bringing less
than 80 cents per bushel, while now
it was worth from $1.25 to $1.4O per
bushel.
Mr.. Johnson urged the farmers to
stand by their own business enterpris-

THE SPUD SITUATION
Potato Movement is Brisk-Local Re-
ceipts and Shipments Heavy
IT,
Market Weakens.
Potato Holdings in Minnesota, Wiscon.
sin and Michigan Reported
Short of Year Ago.

The potato movement has been brisk
in Princeton the past few days, the
moderated temperature having in
creased the receipts materially.
Good prices have been paid. Tri-
umphs have been bringing from $1.OO
to $1O5 and all other varieties have
Melted the farmers from Use to soc per
bushel. On Tuesday the outside mar
ket declined, and the local market
weakened accordingly. From zoe to
75c was paid on Tuesday and yester-
day, and this mornings quotations ap-
pear elsewhere.
The outside demand for potatoes has
been good, and shipments from this
point have been heavy the past week:
On Saturday 80 carloads of spuds left
Princeton; on Tuesday 24were shipped,
and today II cars will leave this point
"a total of 70 since the last issue Of
the Union.
Potato receipts have been light at
eastern shipping points, and the Pack
er reports that the tubers are about
out Of growers hands. New York farm
ers who have potatoes are holding
them at $1.00 per bushel. Potatoes
ruled quiet in Chicago last week. Re-
ceipts were rather light with only a
moderate demand.
Reports received by the Packer from
points in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan indicate that potato holdings
in these state are some short of a
year ago. The reports varied, how
ever. Some places the holdings were
normal, and at others only $3.50 Of the
usual amount was OH hand, while some
points reported no potatoes at all, or
only enough for home use. Hereunder
appears the Minnesota reports:
Grand Rapids, MINI. There are no
potatoes here but a year ago there
were ten or twenty cars.-S. B.
Chisago City, Minn.-There are
about 80 cars of potatoes left at this
station, practically the same as a
year ago. Farmers are holding IS per
cent of the stock, which is good. Seed
holdings are about like last year, II
cars, IL per cent being Triumph and
the balance Rose, Ohios, and Kings.
Lindstrom, Wyoming, Stacy and For
est Lake also have potatoes.-B. M. C.
Bemidji, Minn.-There are no pota-
toes left here; year ago there were
80 cars.-M. F. G.
Center City, Minn.-Farmers have
been receiving 75c a bushel for Bur-
bank potatoes at this point while
they have been selling Triumphs for
ST. at Center City and Lindstrom.-

es, and he made an especially strong
appeal for support for the Farmers
Terminal Packing plant that is soon
to be established at South st.
Paul.
Although some Of Mr.. Johnson's
statements were trife overdrawn on
the whole his talk was fair and inter-
esting and was thoroughly enjoyed
and vigorously applauded by the small
but sympathetic audience.

Berg, and Kaiiher took Jesmer's place
at forward. Jarvela took Malonev's
place at forward.
Princeton assumed the offensive at
the outset of the final period, secured
a lead during the first few minutes of
play and held it safely out of reach of
their opponents to the end. Scoring
started when Winsor waited the
sphere through the net, and then
Ralche added to the joy of local fans by
following suit. The speedy work and
clever team play of the Princeton rep
resentatives featured throughout this
half, and before sharp and piercing
whistle of the time-keeper announced
the end of the period additional goals
were made by Jesmer, Raiche and Kali
iher, and Raiche also negotiated two
free throws. In the meantime the
stone workers were not entirely mac
tive, but they did not penetrate the
Princeton defense any too frequently
and three field goals and free throw
represented the sum total of their
scoring efforts. The count for this
period was IL to and the total was
% to II.

NOTES..

Supt. White Of Elk River refereed
the contest, and did it in manner that
proved entirely satisfactory to both
sides. His decisions were absolutely
impartial, and he followed the play
closely.
Practice with Co. G has accustomed
the local high school lads to being op-
posed by heavier and more experienced
players, and as a result team work
and speed have been developed to a
marked degree. Considering that the
Sandstone quint is composed Of veter-
ans, the two forwards having played
five years, and that all but one of the
Princeton squad were practically with
out experience up to this season, the
showing Of the locals is little short of
remarkable.
Ike roofing squad of the Princeton
high school with new songs and yells
in its repertoire was very much in evil
dence. It cheered the victors Justify
and long.
The girls of Princeton certainly re-
deemed themselves, and again demon
strated that their superiors do not
exist.
The high school orchestra rendered
several selections during the evening,
and made a decided hit with those
present.
A reception was rendered the visit
ors at the conclusion of the games, and
a royal good time had. Princeton
is becomingly modest when victorious,
and can also accept defeat with good
grace. Both qualities are desirable, al
though it prefers to exercise the first
one.
co. G will again be seen in action to-
morrow, Friday, evening when the As
cension Cubs of Minneapolis will in
wade Princeton. Co. G has sustained
but one defeat during the 1916 season,
and that at the hands of the Cubs. The
contest was close one, however, and
the outcome in doubt until the very
end. The militia boys are determined
to win, and we predict that the game
will be a hummer. A dance will be
given at the conclusion of hostilities,
and an orchestra Of six pieces will dis
course selections between halves.

The preliminary skirmish in the Sen
ate on American neutrality, the ship
ping of war munitions. and travel of
Americans on belligerent merchant
ships in the war zone indicates that
party lines are entirely obiiterated
upon points affecting American foreign
relations. On the one hand. Senator
Lodge. OF Massachusetts,. ranking Re
publican member of the foreign rela-
lions committee, declares it wound be
a grossly unneutral act to place an
embargo on the shipment of arms now.
On the other hand. Senator O'Gorman.
of New York. Democrat. and member
of the foreign relations committee. is
in favor of an embargo on munitions,
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, pointing
out that Norway. Denmark. Sweden
and Holland had placed an embargo on
war munitions after the war had begun
and that no question had been raised
as to their violating neutrality. There
also appeared disposition to criticise
American citizens for travelling on bel
ligerent ships in the war zone. As
Senator Stone, chairman OF the foreign
relations committee. SAID, the tilts
were of value in getting line upon
the Senate's attitude.
