The building ready for work will
stand at $4,000. Central Hall con
tains fourteen rooms, of which twelve
are for classes and trades with office
and room for heating plant.
Over two hundred students can be
accommodated in this building. On
the third floor is the chapel, music
room, historical and relic room and
library.
The Institute must have q dormitory
to house the large number Of students
who have been turned away in the
last few years, owing to the lack of
proper accommodations. Robt. G.
Gotwald, architect, has drawn the
plans for the dormitory which will
cost in two sectors $4,000 to SAC, 900
The first section can be erected for
$40 900. With this building and Cen
trial Hall and the present outfit Of
Curry the school can double its ca
pacity. Here is an opportunity for
some good friend to start the funds
for the dormitory and thus increase
the usefulness of school that has
afforded industrial training to over
two thousand worthy young men and
women during the nineteen years d
its history.
Professor Curry will be very CRATE
full for donations in any amount, either
for buildings or current expenses.

situation, we think we are entitled to
an apology. We still maintain that
what we need in Minnesota is limit
ed number of cars which would be
utilized Immediately as soon as they
are received, and keep steady flow Of
potatoes moving out of the state, and
that it would be a detriment to the
growers, the shippers and to the en-
tire state in general if $500 cars were
sent into Minnesota at the present
time for immediate loading as there
would be no market for any such num-
Der of cars and it would simply result
in disaster. In the future when we
would ask for cars we would be cited
to this particular instance wherein
they had furnished us cars and we had
not been able to load them out, and
everybody connected with getting
these particular cars would be criti-
cised severely.
We realize that whoever wrote the
article in the Princeton Union was
probably little over Jealous and
would like to see the potatoes con-
tlguous to Princeton moved out at
price which would be fairly remuner-
ative to the farmers. We assure you
that we also would be more than
pleased if this could be done, but we
still maintain that these cars should
have been furnished during the months
of January and February and that it
is entirely too late to talk about send
ing this amount of cars into the Min
nesota district. Your friend,
w. H. Terrell.

An Appreciation.

I cannot leave Princeton without ex-
pressing my deep, sincere apprecia-
ton for the loyal, staunch friend
ships which bridge time, and take
back as their own those whose duty
in life deprives them of the privilege
of constant association with friends
and surroundings which first instilled
local pride and love of home.
Princeton has always been to me a
beautiful memory where I knew there
was an anchorage.
I sent my little wife back to this
village, not only because I believed
that here was the greatest surgical
skill in America, but because / knew
that Princeton people would extend to
her friendship closely akin to re-
lationship. In my hopes and expecta-
tions, l met no dissapointments, and
when she returned to our eastern
home I found in her heart the same
love of Princeton and its people that
has always been in mine, and in our
plans and day dreams we built the air

An Excellent Performance.

i On Saturday evening the patriotic
young people Of Greenbush, under the
direction of Mrs. A. E. Grow, staged
Ebony, the Convict play which
they had successfully rendered at
other places-in the Princeton arm
Dry, and they were greeted with
large and appreciative audience that
filled every available seat.
The cast was we'll chosen and the
acting particularly good for amateur
performers. Neil Grow as Ebony, the
Convict" DESERVES especial mention
for his naturalness in acting, as do
also Real Robideau as "Judge Van
Cruger," S. E. Insley as "James Bare
lay" Miss Grosvenor as Elena" and
Miss Wikman as "Sally." In fact so
we'll did each take his or her part that
all are entitled to high praise. Mrs.
Grow, the director, is deserving Of
much credit for making it possible for
the people Of Princeton to enjoy so
excellent production.
The time between acts was we'll
taken care of by orchestral selections,
a solo by Miss Anita Davis, song by
male quartet, and a rousing 10-minute
address by DR.. Peatfeld on GLOW to
Help the Red Cross and Uncle SAM"
in which the speaker handed some hot
ones to German sympathizers.
The proceeds amounted to the sum
of $136, which will be divided between
the Princeton and Greenbush chapters.

A few words on Deming may be of
interest. When we first arrived it
boosted of a population of about 5000,
which has undoubtedly been doubled
since that time. At any rate a. de-
cided growth has been noticeable in
the business section. There are sew
eral frst-class stores, while photo stu
dos, ice cream parlors, lunch rooms
and barber shops abound. In passing
I might say that some rare specimens
Of gall and CAB are employed in the
latter places. Three theaters have
been erected since we arrived, and an
old opera house is now being remod-
eled. Besides there are four movies.
The Y. w. C. A. has a fine hostess
house in Deming, where soldiers and
their visiting relatives are made at
home. Three railroads enter the city
Ell Paso & Southwestern, Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe. Just what kept
the town up prior to the location Of
the military camp here I know not, al
though presume the ranchers. had
something to do with it. JULIE.

Hawaiian Entertainment.

A small but appreciative audience
greeted Miss Georgia Mounts of Rock
ford at the armory on Wednesday af-
ternoon of last week when she gave
her lecture on the Hawaiian islands.
Miss Mounts has recently returned
from trip to that delightful garden
spot and spoke very entertainingly
of her experiences on her trip and
during her stay Of several months on
the islands. She had with her num-
Der of curios which added much in
terest to the explanations of the Gus
toms of the people and to her descrip-
lions of the wonderful vegetable life
and other natural phenomena of that
corner of the world.
A big Edison machine, loaned by the
c. A. Jack Drug company and run by
Glenn Newton, varied the program by
the playing Of number Of Hawaiian
and national airs.
Mrs. S. P. Skahen sang two Hawaiian
songs most charmingly, bringing the
program to a fitting close with the
singing of the beautiful Hawaiian
song Of FAREWELL loha-Oe."
No great amount was netted for our
public ibrary-for which the enter
tainment was given-as the attendance
was small, but those who were there
thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

apiece, corn at $25 bushel.
These are some Of the prices paid for

benefit of the local chapter. All places
of business were closed and farmers
brought in horses, cows, hogs, chick
ems, butter, eggs and everything for

The Princeton-Zimmerman Road.

AS announced in the last issue of the
Union, the contract for the permanent
improvement Of State Road No. 2 in
Sherburne county, (the road between
Princeton and Zimmerman, was let
last Thursday at Elk River. The sue
cessful bidders were w. N. Petrie, c.
B. Colburn and Geo. w. Merrill, of
Anoka. The total amount of the bid
for excavating, ditching, crawling and
surfacing amounted to $31 ,549.92-
which included freight on crushed
rock. The bid was conditioned Oh the
county securing spur track from the
railroad company. If spur track is
not secured the amount of the bid will
be increased to $36, 1892.
Work is to be commenced as soon
as the frost is out of the ground and
will be rushed to completion, and it is
confidently expected that the job will
be finished by November.
This stretch of road, especially the
four miles Immediately south of the
Mile Laos county line, has been in
execrable condition for the past SO
years. It has been strawed and
patched up frequently but it never
has been in fairly passable condition.
The nature Of the soil is such that to
make permanent improvement the
roadbed must be built with clay and
gravel; and that is what is to be done.
By next fall, if the season is favor
able and the necessary labor can be
obtained, there will be a continuous
5O-nile stretch of hard-surfaced road
running north from Zimmerman, via
Princeton and Milaca, to Onamia.
Then by another year it is to be hoped
that the road will be continued
through to the Grow Wing county
line. And by another year it is also
expected that the road between Zim-
norman and Elk River will be i'm
proved, and from the latter place east
and south to connect with the Anoka-
East Minneapolis road. Then there
will be a continuous stretch of first
class road from Mile Laos lake to the
Twin Cities.

ON The DOWN GRADE.
Most Varieties of Potatoes Decline in
Price Despite Fact That There
is Greater Demand.
Triumph Seed Stock Practically Off
Market-Princeton Starch Fac
tory to Resume Operation.

Potato prices are still on the down
grade-that is, most varieties. Kings
have declined 10 cents per cwt, Cob
blers 40 cents and Rose 10 cents,
while Triumphs are practically off the
market, only small quantities being
bought by warehousemen when special
orders are received. Cobblers Ground
whites) are still being bought for
eating stock but there is no further
demand for this variety for seed.
A car shortage no longer exists
there are plenty of refrigerators for
all purposes and consequently heavy
shipments of potatoes have been made
during the past seven days. Over a
hundred carloads Of both seed and
eating potatoes have left Princeton
during that period.
Eating stock is being marketed in
larger quantity-farmers are taking
advantage Of the fine weather to bring
in their potatoes even though they
have to dispose of them at low price.
Then, again, it will not be long before
they will be busy in the fields and
their time, consequently valuable.
Outside demand for table stock
shows Improvement and much
heavier movement is predicted within
a short time. Whether this will have
a tendency to increase prices or not
remains to be seen, as the ways of
the potato market are mysterious.
However growers who have surplus
stocks Of potatoes on hand should find
some relief when the Princeton starch
factory resumes operations about
ten days from now,-as we are in
formed that fair prices. will be paid
for potatoes and that the plant will
run as long as a supply is available.
There is a probability that farmers
will be paid as much, if not more, by
the factory as they now receive from
the warehousemen, and they would not
have to run their potatoes over a
screen.

Have No Knots in Knitting.

Surely, if you who are knitting for
the Red Cross will bear in mind that
our soldier boys have often to walk
many miles in day and are required
to stand many weary hours on watch
insthe trenches, you would be careful
about knitting any knots into the
socks that go to them.
When you finish pair please in
vestigate them we'll, and be sure that
you have made them as comfortable
as lies in your power for the soldier
boy who is to wear them before you
turn them in.
Our knitters are turning in goodly
number of beautifully shaped socks
but there are still deplorable number
of knots found in many Of them.

Princeton Starch Factory Sold.

The Princeton Starch company has
sold it's factory to the R. L. Pitcher
company of Caribou, Maine, and the
new proprietors will start up the plant
within ten days. This should prove Of
much benefit to farmers in this terri
tory who have large quantities of po-
tatoes on hand.
In addition to the manufacture Of
starch the Pitcher company, which is
a potato products manufacturing COR
poration operating many factories in
Maine and other parts Of the east, will
eventually produce these products in
Princeton. This will, however, neces-
state the installation of more machin-
cry, and, consequently, only starch
will be manufactured this spring. The
products which this corporation turns
out includes potato flour, Saratoga
chips, desiccated potatoes, and soup
stock made from vegetables of various
kinds.
The resumption Of operation of this
big Princeton factory will prove Of
great value not only to the village
but to the surrounding farming coun-
try. It is an enterprise of such large
proportions that the benefits derived
therefrom will doubtless surpass all
expectations.
Mr.. Sampson, the manager, is here
from Maine getting everything in
readiness for an early start.

Mrs. Roy Soule Meets Tragic End.

Mrs. Roy Soule, who has upon sew
eral occasions visited Princeton, and
who resided with her husband at
Jersey City, was instantly killed at
Douglas, Ariz., where she was visit
ing her uncles, on March 9, by being
thrown from her horse.
The animal became frightened and
Mrs. Soule was unable to control it.
After dashing> along at furious speed
the horse stumbled and threw it's
rider upon heap of debris, which had
been removed to permit of the paving
Of the street, and her neck was brok-
en- by the fall. She was % years old.
Her husband, Roy Soule, is Prince
ton boy-brother of Benjamin Soule
of this place. He is now associate
editor Of the Iron Age, which is pub
lished in New York City.
Roy's many Princeton friends ex-
tend to him their sympathy in this, the
hour Of his great sorrow.
Funeral services were held at
Douglas, Arizona, and the remains
arrived in Princeton on Monday even
ing, Benjamin Soule and George Ross
going to St. Paul to accompany them
to this place. Roy F. Soule, husband
of the unfortunate woman; his mother,
Mrs. E. G. Soule of Chicago; his seven
year old son; and Mrs. H. A. Nell,
twin sister Of Mrs. Roy Soule, of
Carthage, Mo-, also arrived on the
same train. The remains were laid to
rest in Oak Knoll cemetery, where
Rev. Peatfield conducted services at
the grave which were Of a most i'm
pressive nature.
