Automobile Accident.

While returning from drive in an
Overland automobile early yesterday
morning, Odin Odegard collided with
a horse hitched to buggy, being
driven by Jack and Bill Carmody, with
disastrous results. The horse was
killed instantly; Bill Carmody sus-
tanned bad fracture of the left arm
just above the elbow; Jack Carmody
was bruised and shook up; the buggy
was damaged, and the automobile is
decidedly sick-the radiator was badly
dented, the windshield smashed to
smithereens and one fender is nicely
warped. ----....
The accident occurred just outside
he village limits on the rock road lead
inc west from Princeton, some time
after 3 o'clock a. m. Mr.. Odegard
was returning to Princeton, and he in
formed Union reporter that he was
travelling along the right-hand side of
the road. He said that when within
a few feet Of the approaching rig, the
horse either jumped or was guided in
front of his machine. A collision was
inevitable, and it is fortunate that
no human lives were lost.

Good Roads Day,

Since the third Tuesday of June in
each year was designated as Good
Roads Day by the Dunn law Of 1918,
the day has been properly observed
only once, and that was on the same
year the law was enacted. The good
work done on that occasion on the road
between the East Branch bridge and
the village limits is an evidence of
what can be accomplished in the way
of road improvement. That stretch of
road is as firm and solid to-day as it
was after the finishing touches were
administered to it three years ago and
has cost practically nothing for main
tenance.
Cannot something be accomplished
this year in the way Of improving an
other of the roads leading into the
village? Is there not one public-spir-
tied citizen who will start the ball
rolling
There should be an effort made to
improve a piece of road in every COM
nity-several stretches in every
township and in every village.
Let the public-spirited men and wo-
men in each community get busy and

Address Thirty-two Students
Receive Their Diplomas.

Appropriate and pleasing exercises
marked the graduation of the class of
1916 OF the Princeton high school at the
armory last Thursday evening, and that
spacious building was filled with
friends and relatives of the graduates
who congregated there to listen to the
program prepared for the occasion.
The decorations were simple but
neat-the colors Of the school and
class being used. A bank of fragrant
lilacs across the front of the stage
was one of the many pleasing features
of the decorations.
This years class was the largest
in the history Of the local institution
of learning-32 bright young men and
women having completed the high
school course.
The names of the graduates appear

. County Commissioners Meet.

The board Of county commissioners
met at the Office of the county auditor
in regular adjourned session on Tues
day. All members were present and
Chairman Cater presided.
The school petition of Andrew Matt
son asking to have certain lands
owned by him set off from school dis
trict No. 20 and attached to district
81, came on for final hearing, and the
board adopted a resolution granting
said petition.
Four petitions from John Berg
and others, one from Geo II. Small
wood and others, another from John
Swanson and others, and joint petit
ton from Charley Nord and others
were duly presented to the board ask
ing for the formation of four new
school districts. One of the proposed
new districts embraces territory in
district IA, Borgholm, and lands in
the adjoining township in Kanabec
county. The date of hearing on the
petitions was set for July 10.
NJ. J. Cleveland, county engineer,
presented his resignation to the board,
and same was accepted. John P. Sod
erstrom Of Foley was named as Mr..
Cleveland's successor, and Mile Laos
county's share Of the salary to be
paid him was fixed at $50 per month.
Mr.. Cleveland has a position in his
home county, Stearns, and Mr.. Solder
strom, who is county surveyor of Ben
ton county, will have charge of the
Mile Lacs-Benton district.
1t being called to the boards atten-
ton that county ditch No. 1 in the
town of Greenbush is in need of re-
pairs, Commissioner Grow was named
a committee of one to investigate and
take the necessary steps to- have
needed repairs made.
A resolution was adopted designat-
ing three quarters Of mile of road

said road.

Labor's interest in Mr. Kellogg as far
as the supreme bench is concerned was
not realized, but it shows the bond of
sympathy between the two and the
respect in which the trainmen held
him. President A. B. Garretson of
the Conductors afterwards writing
Mr.. Kellogg said: "What I have done
in this connection is a pleasure" and
w. S. Stone, grand chief of the Loco
motive engineers, supplemented it
with the following: eve all realize,
I think, it would mean many sacri-
fees for you to accept such an APP
pointment, but we also realize the need
of men like you to fill such places and
that is the reason that we gave you
the endorsement that We did. My only
regret is that the president has not
seen fit to name you for the position"
AS stated, geographical difficulties
alone prevented Mr.. Kellogg's posi-
BILE appointment to the vacancy on the
bench, but the story is interesting just
the same. To Mr.. Kellogg the happen
ings of that period-his success in
preventing the reduction of wages Of
the employees of the Great Western
and later organized labor's apprecia-
ton of his efforts,-are among his
fondest memories.

ideals, and to certain extent, to
share each others joys and sorrows.

together in saying that we will carry
with us none but the most pleasant
recollections of our school days.

delighted all present. DR.. George Ed

Princeton was indeed fortunate in
securing the services of DR.. George

mastery address which sparkled
throughout.
