LACK OF HOUSES IS
CHECK TO INDUSTRY,
SAYS E. W. SHIRk

Since the flood Of 1918 the output oi
the United Refrigerator company has
exceeded the record of any Of the pre-.
goods should have been supplied to
said Wednesday.
Untoward circumstances have In
tervened to prevent the company fill
ing orders to the doubling of the out
put as mentioned.
In the first place. while the com
pany was successful in obtaining the
particular class of artisans wanted on
refrigerator work, houses of the right
mond for them and their families.
Secondly although the company was
successful also In obtaining artisans
from outside cities. the same Difficult.
ty was encountered, with the result
that between January / Of this year
and up until July l last, more than
600 men had been hired and had left
the service of the company.
Il have no criticism to offer for this
against the Richmond chamber OF
commerce." he added in substance.
The Commercial club under the
regime Ol JONI LOllZ is SuOWluS re-
suits. 1t can bring industries here,
hut If the employees and their families
cannot be housed, 1t will be up against
the difficulty We met with in trying
to develop our industry.
"Monied citizens of Richmond hesi.
tate to invest in this type of real es-
tate yet artisan dwelling houses offer
good returns for such an investment
Nor do wish to complain because our
Industry suffered from this lack. but
the fact remains that because we could
not fill all our orders, fall customers
at this time are not calling on us to
book their usual orders"

Don't Obstruct the Highways.

Complaint has been made to the
town board of Wyanett that parties
are blowing up, turning plows and cul-
tivators on, and otherwise obstructing
the public highways of that town.
Notices have been posted warning
those who have been guilty Of OBJ
structing the roads that they will be
prosecuted if they do not cease so
doing. Here is the law on the SUBJ
ject:
Section 2575.-Any person who shall
obstruct any of the public highways
in any manner, or who shall dig any
holes therein, or remove any earth,
gravel OF rock therefrona, or any part
thereof, or who shall in any manner
obstruct any ditch on the side of any
such highways, and thereby damage
the same, shall be guilty Of a misde-
meanor. 1t is hereby made the duty
of the county attorney to prosecute all
violations of the provisions Of this Sec
ton, occurring in his county.
The maximum penalty for a misde:
meanor is 500 fine or 90 days i'm
prisonment.

G. Smoker" and Other Notes.
The Co.. G :smoker" at the Armory
Monday evening was a success in
every way, and was attended by about
100, including members of the COM
pany and their friends. Several Of
the Milaca boys were also present.
The boys, talked, played cards and
smoked, and a right good time was
had. s
Co. G now has about 60 members,
but more than double that number are
needed. Those in the selective draft
class would do we'll to enlist, as they
will then be with the home boys.
Omer Shobe of Onamia, who is en-
ployed at Iron River is certainly there
when it comes to recruiting. He has
sent down ten applications for men,
bership to the local officers, and has
other prospects in sight. -.
This evening at the Armory the G
boys will put on a dance, and it will
probably be the last one given by
them until after the war. All should
attend.

Connery's Body Found.

The body of the Minneapolis police
man, George Connery, was found at
a lonely place in the woods near Frid-
ley, Anoka county, last Saturday
evening. He got into an automobile
to escort two speeders to the East
Side police station on the 26th ult.,
and that was the last time he was seen
alive. His face and head was bat
tered with some heavy instrument and
there was also a bullet wound in his
body. But it appears that he was not
quite dead when his murderers
dragged him out of the automobile
and left him in the woods, for he had
attempted to scSaWl a message to his
wife in a little note book. The only
words that could be deciphered were:
"Mollie, goodbye, darling" -..E.-..s
1t is thought that one of poor Con-
nery's murderers is under arrest at
Omaha. s~< - .t.
Chief O'Connor of st. Paul is still
of the belief that one of the men who
murdered Connery also assassinated
Mrs. Dunn in her fathers house in ST..
Paul two days later.
Frank Dunn, the former husband of
the murdered woman, undoubtedly
hired the assassin to commit the das-
tardly deed F..
If the murderers of Connery and
Mrs. Dunn are ever convicted the
worst punishment that can be inflicted
upon them is life imprisonment in the
model first-class hotel conducted by
the state at Saltwater! 81 .~-.... X.

What's the Matter With Onamia?

Editor Union: I clipped the fol-
lowing little item from the Milaca
paper: -....
AS matter Of sentiment it would
be too bad to take the court house
away from Princeton. But as a
measure of efficiency and convent
ence to the tax payers it should be
located at Milaca. :.
I fail to see where the efficiency
would come in, and as for the conven-
fence Of the folks up in this neck of
the woods Princeton is just about as
convenient as Milaca, or will be when
the grand Scenic Highway is COM
pleted.
It is hardly worth while to discuss
court house removal at this time, but
when the proper time does come, we
want you Princeton and Milaca peo-
pie to keep it in mind that there is a
town by the name of Onamia on the

The Farmers Packing Plant.

Bids were let last week for the con-
struction of the new plant of the
Farmers Terminal Packing company
at Newport, near St. Paul. The plant
when completed will handle about
5000 hogs and 400 cattle daily, and
will cost in the neighborhood Of $780,
900.
If the farmers can make a go of
their packing plant, and they certainly
ought to, profits that are now exacted
by the middle men will go into their
pockets.
Mr.. Carl M. Sholin Of Page is one Of
the officers Of the company, and from
the first he has maintained that a
packing plant owned by the farmers
and properly conducted, would be

THE MARKET QUIET
Potato Receipts Here Very Light the
Past Week and Prices Drop
Since Last Thursday. -.
Michigan Agricultural Expert Pre-
diets Good Prices for Farm
Products Next Fall. >,...

There are now only four buyers on
the local market, but, receipts are so
light that one buyer could handle
them and have plenty of time to spare.
What few loads are hauled in are
merely jags.
Prices have declined since last
Thursday and SITS is now being paid.
This price seems rather low this year,
but ordinarily it would be very, very
high. go T.. -
In Chicago the situation in old pota-
toes showed some improvement blythe
middle of last week and operators felt
that a frmer tone would develop. The
receipts ran about 20 per cent less
that those Of the previous week, and
reports from loading stations from
various parts of the country gave
promise Of continued light arrivals.
The concensus Of opinion among the
large operators, who are in close touch
with the situation in the various Sec
tons, is that the vast bulk of the old
stock yet remaining is on wheels now,
and that as soon as these cars are
moved out stock will be difficult to get
and the market mag be expected to
take a frmer tone.
Growers who are refraining from
planting the maximum acreage to
crops because they fear over-produc-
tion and low prices, are making them
selves the victims of needless worry,
in the opinion of James N. Mcbride,
. director Of marketing for Michigan.
Prices at harvest time, he declared this
week, are practically certain to be high
enough to insure good returns on crops,
and particularly on beans, wheat and
potatoes.
'There need be no fear of over
production of potatoes" said Direc-
tor Mcbride in an official statement
'"The high price and the scarcity of
seed are the natural limiting factors.
In the older sections of Michigan, and
over the United States as well, where
the total area is largely made up Of
small areas outside the special dis
tricts, the planting will be very limit
ed. In most districts the regular field
crops are being planted, and the sur
plus. of potatoes over the amount re-
quired for home use must come from
sections where the crop can be grown
as a speciality"

Martin J. Kaliher, a former es-
teemed resident of this vicinity,

left for California. In the west he did
well. For a time deceased worked at
his trade as jeweler, but the past ten
years he was engaged in fruit grow

Court Show 2s6 Births to
131 Deaths in 1916.
Deaths Exceed Births in Princeton
Town-Three Towns Unvisit-
ed by Grim Reaper.

That Mile Laos county is healthy
place to live is evidenced by the birth
and death returns received by the
clerk of court from the State Board
Of Health.
During the year 1916 there were
286 births, as compared to 131 deaths.
There were no deaths in Onamia
town, Kathio or South Harbor during
the year, while in the first named
place there were 10 births, in Kathio
there were 6 and in South Harbor
there were 5.
Princeton village leads in both births
and deaths, there being ga births to
AZ deaths. In Milaca village there
were 20 births and 9 deaths.
Princeton town was the only place in
the county where the deaths exceeded
the births, but in Greenbush and Hay
land the two columns of figures are
separated by margin of only one.
Last year there were 1922 births and
120 deaths, while in 1914 the births
totaled 259 to 1913 deaths. In 1913
there were 249 births to LOG deaths.
These figures show that there has been
a steady natural increase in popula-
ton in Mile Laos county.
