Mrs. William MacGrew.

Mrs. William MacGrew, daughter Of
Fred Smith of this village, died at the
Hopewell hospital, Minneapolis, on
Saturday evening, October 7, and the
remains were brought to Princeton on
Sunday morning for burial. The cause
Of death was tuberculosis.
Funeral services, under the auspices
of the local lodge Of Maccabees, were
held from the residence Of Mrs. Eva
Keith on Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock; the solemnities being con-
Quoted by Rev. Peatfeld, and the in
terment was at Oak Knoll. ---.a
Mrs. MacGrew, whose maiden name
was Maude Smith, was born in Wya-
nett on February 2, 1885, and for sew
eral years, prior to her death had lived
in Minneapolis. She is survived by
her father, Fred Smith; one brother,
George A.; and one sister, Mrs r.
Flynn.
Mrs. MacGrew had many friends in
this village who will deeply regret her
death.
Mrs. Ella Brant Of Cambridge, aunt of
the deceased, was among those from
out of town in attendance at the obse-
quies.

Strike Ended.

Through the efforts of the State
Public Safety commission the strike Of
minority of the street car employees
of the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany ended on Tuesday evening. It
was not a question of wages that
caused the strike, for the COM
pany had granted the increase de-
manded. Recognition of a recently
organized union of faction of the
employees seems to have been the issue
involved. That the employees, or any,
number of them, had a right to or
ganize union must be conceded by all
fair minded people, and that any num-
Der Of the employees were free to quit
work whenever they saw fit cannot be
disputed. But those of the employees
who wished to continue in the services
of the. company had the right to do so,
and they were entitled to protection
If the exercise of their rights.
There was no excuse for the rowdy-
ism and smashing of street car win
dows in St. Paul on Saturday and
Tuesday evenings, and the law-break-
ers should have been more vigorously
dealt with by the authorities. The
police should have used their revolvers
instead of their clubs, and they should
have shot to hurt.
1t was not the strikers who caused
the trouble, but gangs of hoodlums,
1. W. WIS and plug 'uglies- to
1 honest labor.
But the strike is ended thanks to
the good offices of the Public Safety
commission-and the inside of a
street car in either of the Twins is
now almost as safe as the inside Of
a front line trench on the Belgian or
French battlefelds.

Ditch Petition Rejected

After several adjourned meetings
and much discussion the county COM
missioners, on Tuesday, by a vote of
three to two denied the petition for a
county ditch in Princeton town. The
route of the proposed ditch commenced
at the northeast corner of section II
and thence in a southerly direction
through sections II, IA, % and 26 to
Silver lake. While the acreage that
would be benefited by the ditch is not
large-about 400 acres-yet it is con-
coded that an outlet is badly needed,
not only by the farmers interested but
also for the drainage of several roads.
The main objection urged was that the
ditch would cost too much-$ IL 900.
1t was agreed that smaller and less
expensive ditch than the one contem-
plated would answer all purposes. On
the other hand it was argued by the
friends of the measure that shallow,
narrow ditch would fill up in few
years, and in the long run would
prove more costly than a good wide
ditch in the first place.
The expense incurred by the pro-
rioters of the ditch amounts to about
$700. It is altogether probable that an
appeal to the district court from the
decision Of the commissioners will be
taken
Aside from the merits of the pro-
posed ditch, State Road No: 4, on the
line between sections "a and Is and
sections % and 26, must have proper
drainage if a good permanent road is
to be constructed and maintained.

Mrs. Katherine Chamberlain.

Mrs. Katherine Chamberlain, sister
Of Mrs. A. G. Smith, died at the Uni
versity hospital, Minneapolis, on Sat
urday, October 6, from Bright's dis
ease, from which she had suffered for
five or six years.
The remains were brought to Prince
ton, the former home of the deceased
on Monday, and the funeral held from
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c.
Smith on Tuesday afternoon, Rev
Peatfeld officiating at the obsequies.
The interment was in Oak Knoll GENE
terry.
Katherine Chamberlain, whose
maiden name was Katherine Dunning
was born in Princeton 46 years ago
and had lived in Minneapolis about Is
years, where she followed the calling
Of trained nurse. She was daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. G. Dunning
both of whom are dead. -,
The old residents of Princeton will
remember her as a lady who COM
manded the respect of everyone with
whom she was acquainted.
Mrs Chamberlain's relatives from
out Of town were all present at the
funeral, viz: Mr.. and Mrs. N. E.
Baker and Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Baker

Princeton Potato Market.

Last weeks prices, with little or no
fuctuation, have prevailed during the
past seven days-8O to 80 cents for
table potatoes and as high as $3.50
for Triumphs.
The market has been active with in
creased receipts at the warehouses, as
many as 700 loads being received by
the buyers upon some days. There
are now rs men engaged in purchas-
ing potatoes from the farmers in
Princeton and they are all getting
their share Of the quantity marketed.
Shippers are now handicapped by a
shortage of cars and, consequently
have been unable to fill all their or
ders from the outside. This is a
source of much inconvenience to them.
It is estimated that the quantity of
potatoes in this territory is almost
four times that Of last year. It is, of
course, impossible to obtain the exact
figures.
The uncertainty as to what the gov
crnment's action would be on the
storing Of potatoes has now been
cleared up, and from this time onward
there wilAbe heavier call for stock
for future use. Owing to the fact that
there will be diminished foreign out
let for potatoes, the price level will
be held considerably below the figures
which ruled last winter and spring.

400 ENROLL NAMES.
Princetonians Show Their Patriotism
by Enlisting in Sheriff's Home
Defense Reserve Squad.
Automobile Owners to the Number
Of Sixty Pledge Themselves
to Render Service.

The meeting at the armory on Fri
day evening to organize sheriff's
home defense reserve squad-or aux
iliary--was productive of excellent
results.
Attorney r. L. Mcmillan presided
and gave a short talk upon the duty
of every American citizen in these
times of war and urged every man
to sign the roster of the reserve
squad for home defense.
County Auditor w. C. Doane ex-
planned the purpose of ythe organiza-
ton and, ere the meeting closed, about
hundred and twenty-five men had
subscribed their names to the roll.
On Saturday and Monday lists were
circulated in the village with the re-
suit that the total number was in
creased to 400, including 60 in the
motor reserve. ~. ~
These volunteer organizations are
in conformance with a resolution of
the Minnesota Commission of Public
Safety and are for the purpose of
! assisting the sheriff in the perfor-
nance of his duties whatsoever neces-
sary to preserve peace. When called
upon by the sheriff each squad will
arm itself under his direction. It will
not be necessary to purchase arms OIL
enlIinment Ordinary firaarns-rifes
shotguns or revolvers will be all that
is necessary.

Mrs. William Marsh

Mrs. William Marsh died at her
home in Princeton on Saturday, Octo-
Der 6, from an attack of apoplexy.
She and her husband were returning
from the Sherburne county fair at
Elk River, and when near home Mrs.

her to their residence. At about 9
o'clock that evening she passed away.
The funeral service was held We'd

in the Lord, for they rest from their
labors and their works do follow"
Those who survive are William
Marsh, the husband; Everett, the only
living son, and Michael Hull of Wis.

Babc0ck Making Good.

1t pays to have a live, efficient man
at the head Of the state highway de-
partment. Since the date of his APP
pointment the present highway COM
missioner, Charles M. Babcock, has
given his entire time and attention
to the duties of the position. Mr.. Bah
cock does not sit and NOPE in his
office, as is customary with many
heads Of departments; he goes out in
the state, inspects roads and bridges,
advises with the local boards, offers
suggestions, finds out what the assis-
tant engineers are doing and at the
same time is in close touch with the
headquarters in St. Paul already he
has considerably reduced the expenses
without impairing the efficiency Of
the main office. He will have no one
around him who does not render the
state good service.
Thanks to Mr.. Babcock's energetic
action ten roads upon which federal
aid is to be expended have been ap-
proved by the department. at Washing
ton. That is a record no other state
has made. In Wisconsin not single
road project has been approved by the
federal authorities, and some people
importuned the governor last winter to
appoint an employee of the highway
commission of that state to the head
Of the department in this state.
In his recommendations for the ap-
portionment of the federal road fund
of nearly half million dollars next
year Mr.. Babcock has been fair tc
every section of the state, as will be
discovered later when the figures are
given out.
1t is no surprise to the Union thai
Mr.. Babcock is making good. That is
what we expected and knew he would
do. But he is making good beyond
our most sanguine expectations.

NOTES.

All the non-coms. hold their rank
until they show they cannot make
good.
I Lieutenant Kalkman is with the
headquarters company Of this, the
125th U. S. Field artillery, which is
good news to his many friends here.
The artillery is higher branch of
the service than infantry and most of
the men are pleased over the change.
The Second Minnesota arrived this
week, and they certainly envied the
Third
Battery A is right alongside of the
supply company, so we see the other
former G. men every day.
AS yet there is only one "Y" in this
vicinity and it is always crowded.
A number of our men will soon be
furnishing the directive wisdom for
mule teams. The drivers are called
wagoners.
The happy day is due to arrive
soon. This is the day when the
bugles sound pay call.
Our present location is removed
about mile and a half from oul
former one, and Deming is farther
away than ever. --
Mess Sergeant Olsen retains his
rank, while Burrs is duty sergeant.
The work promises to be interesting
and we will handle over million dol.
lars worth of equipment, besides sup
plying food and clothing to the regi
ment.
Troop trains arrive every day ane
the camp will soon be filled.
The probabilities are that we will
remain here three or four months a
least, as it will take considerable drill
ing to accustom the officers and me,
to their new duties. JULIE.
