There is a decidedly hostile feeling
toward the Twin City and Northwes-
tern Telephone companies among the
legislators. Thatboth companies are ex-
horbitant in their charges is generally
conceded, and I would not be sur
prised if some drastic legislation, with
the view of curbing their rapacity,
was enacted. There is no justification
for the greatly increased charges on
the part of these companies in the
past two years.

1t is rumored around the house that
an investigation Of campaign expen-
ditures at the recent election will be
demanded. But it is my opinion that
after the l. w. w. fiasco the house is
not in a mood for any further investi-
eating. It is charged that a large
fund was raised and that three or four
politicians were the sole benefciaries.
Even so, and it is proven, what are the
disgruntled ones going to do about it. =?

It is expected that the house COM
mittee on taxes will report out the
tonnage tax bill early next week and
that it will be made a special order a
few days later. Friends of the
measure seem sanguine of it's passage
in the house, and I am inclined to be-
lieve that the bill will also pass the
senate and go to the governor.

Any measure that would necessitate
the use of new text books in the public
schools is viewed with suspicion. The
idea is prevalent among members Of
the legislature that the book trust is

ton Town Pioneer, Summoned.
Mrs. R. E. Sanford, beloved pioneer
of Princeton town, passed over the
great divide at the Northwestern hos
pital, after lingering illness, Sunday
morning. Mrs. Sanford was tenderly
cared for at her home until week ago
yesterday, when she was removed to
the hospital. Her condition was ex-
tremely critical, and hopes of recovery
were very slight.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Methodist church, of which de-
ceased was a faithful member, Tues
day afternoon, and Rev. James A.
Geer delivered an inspiring and fitting
sermon. A quartet composed of Mrs.
c. A. Galley, Miss Eva Ross and
Messrs. Adna Orion and Karl Tarbox
sang three beautiful selections, being
accompanied on the organ by Miss
Ruth Briggs. The remains were laid
at rest in Oak Knoll cemetery.
. Deceased, whose maiden name was
Edith M. Burke was born at Platts-
burg, New York, May 26, 1851. She
was married in the spring of 1870, and
the following fall the young couple
came to Minnesota and settled on a
farm in Princeton town, where they
have since lived. Besides the husband,
Mrs. Sanford is survived by three chill
dren, viz: Mrs. John Mccormick Of
Minneapolis, Mrs. VIM. A. Ross of this
village and C. R. Sanford of Prince
ton. Three brothers, VIM. Burke Of
Michigan, and Herbert and Delbert
Burke of New York, also survive.
Mrs. Sanford was home-loving
woman, and as a wife and mother was
all that could be desired. Ever kindly
and considerate, her memory will be
cherished in years to come by large
circle of friends.
The husband and children desire to
express their deep-felt thanks tc all
who supplied consolation, and aided
them during the last illness and death
of their beloved wife and mother

Can You Beat 1t?

Over in Pierce county, Wisconsin, a
couple of men chopped down a huge
Eastwood tree. It scaled over 100
feet of lumber estimated to be worth
$39.37. In the hollow stump they
found fourteen slkunks which netted
them $1,000. In one of the limbs was
coon's nest from which they cap
itured four4ofs the j; tile fur bearers.
On another limb they found a hive of
bees, and extracted from the combs a
tub of honey The net result of the
days work was $1.5O.-West St. Paul

A QUIET NJ AR KET.
Road and Weather Conditions Have
Resulted in a Stagnant Mar
ket the Past Week. III.
Spnd Prices Remain Unchanged-Lo
cal Operators Are Worried
Over Car Shortage.

The local potato market has been
dead the past few days, and yesterday
saw the first loads marketed in
week. Road and weather conditions
were responsible for the inactivity. =
Prices remain unchanged, and the
quotations published elsewhere are the
same as those week ago.
Local operators are worried over the
car shortage, and unless same is re-
lieved soon those holding seed stock
will sustain losses. The demand for
seed will decrease greatly after the
18th Of this month.
Six cars arrived this week, and have
been loaded and shipped. These were
the only shipments in a week.
Minnesota potatoes are in strong
demand, and especially is this true of
seed Stocks. The call for seed is from
the south with Texas a strong bidder
for Triumphs. The car shortage is
still an obstacle to operators, however,
and it is impossible to fill rush orders.
A very firm potato market prevailed
in New York all of last week, and
prices advanced steadily. The move
ment from all points was light and the
demand was excellent. In fact, at
times, it exceeded the supplies, which
were extremely light.
Up in Aroostook county, Maine, the
shippers were paying the farmers S.
a $5.25 per 165-pound barrel for the
few potatoes they could lay their
hands on, but the farmers have very
little stock to offer and most of the
potatoes now reaching New York come
out of the storehouses. Along the
Maine Central Railroad; the shippers
were paying the farmers So to $2O5
per bushel and were asking $3.50 "a

ings were very small.
The Chicago potato market opened
firm last week, and continued strong,
with prospects of continuing on the
same basis for the next few days. Ex-
IRENE cold weather Friday restricted
trading somewhat but the market
ruled steady. T..
Receipts in Chicago the early part
of the week were a little lighter than
last week and dealers found no diff
Guilty in disposing of the arrivals.
Offerings of northern stock were prin-
cipally from Wisconsin and the quail
ty in general was satisfactory. Re-
ceipts from the west were light owing
to shortage of cars, and it also was
reported this week that some heavy
snow storms had been experienced in
that section which were delaying ship
ments and probably would cause con-
tinued light arrivals for the next week
or so. Snow storms in Minnesota
were expected to hold back receipts to
some extent also.
Chicago was about on par with
outside markets this week so far as
prices were concerned and most ship
pers preferred to take advantage of
conditions there rather than to take
chances on shiDninp to outside noints
