Special Council Meeting.

A special meeting Of the village
council was held Monday evening for
the purpose Of considering the estab-
fishing and maintaining of a public
library in Princeton. All members
were present.
A committee consisting Of Mrs. J.
F. Peterson, Mrs. Fred Keith, Mr.. E.
L. Mcmillan and Councilman T. M.
Olsen was named, with the latter as
chairman. This committee will go
over the proposition Thoroughly, and
submit report to the council later.
The w. c. T. U. has offered to do
nate the volumes in it's library, if the
village decides to establish one, and
various individuals have offered to
contribute books. @ {
That it would be a good thing for
the village none will deny, and it is to
be hoped that practical plan will be
worked out, and favorable action taken
in the matter. "Books are lighthouses
erected in the great sea Of time"
No other business came up for con-
sideration and on motion the council
adjourned.

A Great Comeback.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team staged surprising come
back, in the last half of a game with
Mora at the Armory Friday evening,
and played circles around their oppon-
ents during this period. 1t was a re-
markable showing in view of the fact
that the Princeton scoring machine,
as well as the local defensive arma-
ments, completely collapsed during the
first round, with the result that the
Kanabec county huskies piled up lead
of 10 to 2. The visitors never had
look-in the last half, and the orange
and black representatives carried off
the honors to 1. The final count was
10 to 9. The locals demonstrated that
they have the goods, and their game
stand during the last half was more
than gratifying to Princeton followers
of the indoor pastime.

Leans Win.

The fats and the leans of the Mar
ried Mems Dancing club met for the
second basket ball game of series
of three, at the Armory last Thurs
day evening. The agile leans played
rings around the lumpish and inert
squad representing the corpulent sons
Of men, and carried off the honors
to the pleasing strains Of to 2.
The first half was a hummer, fea-
tured by inability to negotiate baskets
which was made conspicuous by per-
formers on both sides. Only once did
the wind-infated sphere drop through
the net, A. B. Gramer being the hero.
But the second round! The leans
didn't do thing except play basket
ball. J. H. Hoffman nonchalantly
tossed two field goals, while Don Ev-
ems threw one and free throw, and
Ed. Nelson also counted. The fats
were out Of luck, and never scored a
point.
O. B. Newton was the referee and
he has not yet collected his wind.
Just to be fair we will state that
the leans had more men on hand, and
turned practically fresh squad loose
for the final period, to oppose the ex-
hausted rotund athletes.

Last Sad Rites.

Funeral services of the late Peter
Torell, brief mention of whose death
was made in our last issue, were held
from his home in Minneapolis Satur-
day, and the exercises were attended
by large circle Of friends, including
$50 police officers, Mayor Van Lear
and Chief Harthill Rev. Samuelson
delivered an appropriate sermo on. Ser
geant Blair, cousin Of Frank Blair of
this village, headed the procession
The remains were brought to Prince
ton Saturday evening, and the final
exercises were conducted in Wyanett
Sunday afternoon from the Ak
ell Weeks residence and later from the
Swedish Baptist church. Rev. F. H..
Peterson of Princeton town, delivered
the sermon, and fitting music was a
a part of the services. The floral trib-
utes were particularly fine, including
wreaths from the M. B. A. lodge of
Wyanett and the Minneapolis police
department.. Interment was in Oak
Grove cemetery.
Deceased was born in Sweden, June
Fl, 1883, and accompanied his parents
to this country when a small boy. He
was united in marriage to Miss Signe
Weeks Of Wyanett on February 81,
1910, and one daughter, Mildred,
blessed the union. Besides the widow
and daughter and father, deceased is
survived by three brothers and two Sis
tiers, viz: Carl Torell of Superior,
Wis. Conrad, Theodore and Misses
Ida and Edna Torell Of Wyanett.
The wife and daughter take this
means Of expressing thanks to the
M. B. A. lodge, friends and relatives
for the beautiful floral offerings, and
also gratefully acknowledge the kind
expressions Of sympathy received by
them since the loss Of their beloved
husband and father.

BASKET BALL GAMES.
Four Good Games Staged at ArmOry
Since Last Thursday.

Since Last Thursday.
The speedy Temple quint went down
to defeat before Co. G at the Armory
last evening in one of the snappiest
games of the season. The final count
was 33 to Fl.
Princeton took the lead from the
start and never was in danger Of be-
ing overtaken. The team work of the
locals was simply great the first half,
and the city boys were completely out
classed.. The honors went to G 10
to 7.
The second half was sort of fifty
fifty affair, with G having slight
edge. Princeton scored Is points dur
ing this period, while the. visitors
chalked up II.
Smith was in great form, negotiat-
ing seven field goals for total of Ia
points. Milbrath was also there, and
he waited the ball through the net
three times, while Morton and CARR
son did the stunt twice. Newton, dur
ing few minutes play in the game.
made free throw good. In the guard
positions Maggart, Morton and
Schmidt did effective work.
G has the goods this year.
AS preliminary to the game the
fats and leans came together for the
deciding game of a series of three
The downcast expression now notice
able on the usually placid faces Of the
fats tells the result. The count was
to 6. Two sensational baskets by Dor
Evans featured the first half. J. H

in the scoring for the leans. H. J

He is survived by two sons and four
daughters.
Ole Larson.

resident of Glendorado, Benton county,
Joined the great majority at the North
western hospital yesterday afternoon.
inflammation Of the bowels caused
death. Mr.. Larson was taken sick last
December, but his condition did not
appear critical until three weeks ago.
He was taken to the Northwestern
hospital at once, but hopes for recovery
were extremely slight.
AS yet no arrangements for the fu-
neral have been made.
Ole Larson was born in Sanskodel-
sal, Norway, Dec. %, 1874, so at the
time of his death was ~ years,
month and Is days old. He was mar
ried in Norway in 1870 to Miss Annie
Torjuson, and came to this country
with his family ten years later. He
settled on a farm in Santiago, Sher-
burne, county, and two years later re-
moved to Glendorado, where he has
since resided.
Besides the widow he is survived by
four children, viz: :. L. D. Larson, of
Glendorado; Senator T. o. Larson, of
Choteau, Montana; Mrs. Johanna Mas
set, of Pennington, Montana; and Ole,
jr., Of Minneapolis. A sister, Mrs. T.
Gofield of Glendorado, and two half
brothers, John L. Skogen of Green
bush, and Lars L. Skogen Of Blue Hill,
also survive, as do a brother, half
brother, and sister, all in Norway.
Ole Larson was one of those sturdy
pioneers, that it always affords one
pleasure to meet. He was an upright
citizen, and as husband and father
left nothing to be desired. He was an
active and faithful member of the
Norwegian Lutheran church, and his
death marks the passing of citizen
of real worth.

NEW ASSOCIATION.
Parents Association Formed at Meet.
ing in H. S. Assembly Room
on Monday Evening.
Object is to Arouse More Direct In
r.
terest in School Work on the
Part of the Parents.

A meeting was held in the High
School assembly room Monday even
ing for the purpose of organizing a
Teachers and Parents club. About
hundred were present, which was. an
encouraging showing.
DR.. D. A. McRae presided, and an or
ganization was perfected by the cleo
ton of the following officers: j. c..
Herdliska, president; Mrs. J. w. Moss
man, vice-president; H. J. Plaas, sec
rotary. ..E.
Superintendent w. H. Hollands was
responsible for calling the meeting,
having first consulted the school board.
He then sent out letters to the par
ents of the pupils, asking them to ex-
press their opinion of the proposed
organization, and also to state whether
they would join it if it was decided
to proceed with the plan. Those who
answered the letters were almost
unanimously in faver of a parents or
ganization, and the result was that
the meeting was called.
The object of the organization is to
arouse more direct interest in School
work on the part Of parents and to
bring them in closer touch with what
the teachers and pupils are doing. In
other words it is expected to bring
about harmonious cooperation be-
tween parents, teachers and pupils.
The idea is splendid one, and we have
no doubt but that much good will re-
suit.
Another meeting will be held at the
Armory in couple of weeks, at which
time it is expected that more detailed
plans will be formulated. A program
will also be rendered..

It is also proposed to have administra-

THAT SHERBURNE ROAD.

Action of Sherburne County Commits
sioners Warmly Commended.
The following letter will appear in
this weeks issue of the Elk River
Star-News and is self tory. b.
st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 20, 1916,
Editor Star-News:
Am somewhat surprised that the
Becker Herald and the Clear Lake
Times should SO severely and unjustly
criticize the majority of your board
Of county commissioners with refer
enae to their action in regard to State
Road No. 2 in your county. -.
State Road No. 2 leads directly north
from Elk River to Princeton. It is one
of the oldest and most travelled roads
in your county. This road was laid out
in the fifties and over it was hauled
all of the supplies for the Rum River
pineries down to 1887. It was also the
road over which hundreds of farmers
in northeastern Sherburne, as we'll as
all those Of Mile Laos and part of
lsanti, hauled their products to market.
It was an important road in the fifties,
and it is an important road and much
travelled highway today. There is
hardly a day in the year, save in the
severest winter weather, that this road
is not travelled by hundreds of auto
mobiles and other vehicles. Moreover,
it is the only means of egress, by auto
or team, for the people of Mile Laos
to the Twin Cities. It is the direct
road from the Twin Cities to the queen
Of Minnesota lakes-Mille Laos.
The so-called Scenic Highway COM
mences at Elk River runs north to
Princeton, Mile Laos lake, Brainerd,
Walker, and to the international bor-
der, and State Road No. is the first
link in the chain,
This year Mile Laos county will ex-
pend $115,0O0 on that part of the
Scenic Highway passing through that
county, and connecting with State
Road No. 2 in your county. Grow Wing
will expend 100000 on the part of the
Scenic Highway that passes through
that county, and Cass county has a
good road already built from Walker
to connect with the Grow Wing sec
ton. By the close of 1917 there will
be a continuous stretch of good road
from Walker to St. Paul, via Brainerd,
Mile Laos lake, Milaca, Princeton, Elk
River and Anoka. That is, provided
the ten mile stretch between thinner
man and the north end Of your county
is permanently improved. The four
mile stretch south from the Mile Laos
county line is the worst piece of road
between Brainerd and st. Paul. "A
chain is no stronger than it's weakest
link, and if that four mile stretch is
impossible, the other $50 miles is use
less so far as through travel is con-
cerned.
Now for few facts: The interests
Of the small counties were not over

DulA1A Iodu law Cnan any OCner small
county in the state. In the past three
years, Sherburne has received from
the state, under the Dunn law, in
round numbers $4,000 more than it
paid back to the state Hennepin
county pays into the state treasury
under the one mill tax and the auto
mobile license laws, many thousands
Of dollars more than it receives from
the State. Part Of the surplus paid by
Hennepin is expended in Sherburne
county. Have not the thousands Of
Minneapolis people, who visit Mile
Laos Lake every summer, right to
expect reasonably good roads to travel
over in their effor> gto get there?
will venture the assertion that for
every dollar Of State road money ex-
ipended on State Road No. 2 in the past
three years, ten dollars have been ex-
pended on State Road No. 1. Last
year I appeared before the Highway
Commission and asked for an extra
allowance for Sherburne county, with
the: understanding that the extra
amount of four or five thousand dol
lars should be expended on State Road
No. 2. Your commissioners expended
over two-thirds of that extra allow
ance on roads in the west end Of your
county, and hardly one-third on State
Road No. 2. In the language of the
Becker Herald that was "the rank
est kind Of an outrage" Still
no one made any howl over
it. Last August 1 again went
before the Highway Commission and
requested the commission to rec
ommend $4,000 Of Federal aid for
State Road No. 2 between Zimmerman
and the north line Of your county. I
imagined that your county commits
sioners would gladly embrace the op-
portunity to meet that amount out of
your road and bridge fund and the
State allotment, and put that miser-
liable stretch in permanently good con-
dition so that it could be easily main
tanned in the future at small expense
instead Of wasting money on it every
year and getting no results. Any man
with business head on his shoulders
would say that was the right thing to
do. Your county commissioners, or a
majority of them, wisely concluded
that the proper thing to do was to
Iaccept the Federal aid, meet it and
4 permanently improve the road. One
might have questioned their sanity
had they, arrived at any other con-
clusion.
i The editors Of the Herald and Times
should bear in mind this fact: It is
the policy of the State Highway Com
mission to have the State Roads. of the
several counties. connect with each
other whenever possible, and as
have shown State Road No. 2 in your
county is an important link in the
through highway from the interna-
tional border to the capitol of the
State.
Is. I repeat and reiterate that the mem
bers Of your county board, who voted
to accept the Federal aid, meet it and
permanently improve the north hall
of State Road No. 2 are deserving OF
praise instead of censure, and every
fair-minded man in Sherburne county
will endorse their action.
