SNOW CARRIED AWAY.
Council Employs Numerous Men ani
Teams to Clean Up Business
Section of VILLAGE.

Forty-six men and "a teams were
hired by the village council last Fri
day to remove the mountains Of snow
from the business streets of Prince
ton, and we deem it a good move on
the part Of the solons. Friday, Satur-
day and Monday hundreds of tons of
the stuff called beautiful" by poets,
which would naturally when the
melting process takes place in the
good old springtime days that are
upon us, have flooded the sidewalks
and, may be, the stores, were removed
to the Rum river and dumped.
There were people who protested
against this action of the council, but
looking at the proceeding from pure
ly impartial viewpoint, it strikes us
that the movement is commendatory.
In the first place the men employed
needed the work and the money and,
then again, it prevented floods, as
stated above.
With such an enormous fall of
snow as Princeton has experienced
this winter, and probably as much
more to come, it was necessary to
take steps to dispense with at least a
part Of it.

Receipts $30,9S9.
RESULT is SATISFACTORY
Excess of Disbursements Over Auto
Tax Made Possible in Part by
Federal Road Aid.

Statistics received by the Union
yesterday from the highway depart.
ment give the following official in
formation:
Owners of motor vehicles in Mile
Laos county paid $30,989 taxes on the
same in 1921, and $462,167 has been
used to date on trunk highways with
in the county under the Babcock
plan. No county or town funds are
included. Commissioner Babcock ex-
plains that the large excess of dis
bursements over automobile tax reve-
nue. was made possible in part by the
use of federal highway aid and reim-
bursement bond funds.
State highway fund charges in Mile
Laos county include $685., 627 expended
in 1919-2o, and $12s,5o0 in 1921, COW
emng maintenance work, construction,
right Of way, engineering and other
expenses. The 1921 items follow:
Trunk highway No. 18-Miles, 81;
maintenance, $19,275; construction,
$100,374; total, $119,647.
Trunk highway No. 23-Miles, 1876;
maintenance, $3.50; construction,
$1,343; total, $685..
Reimbursements charged for 1919

funds used in county to date, $462, 167 -;
motor vehicle taxes collected in coun-
ty to date, $431,178; excess of dis
bursements over receipts, $431,178.
The highway executives make this
statement:
Department policies are designed
to distribute new construction so that
the largest number of localities may
share in early, permanent benefits, and
also to build up weak stretches in long
mileages of otherwise good roads.
Their continuance will tend to bring
up individual county totals to a fair
average, traffic, mileage and other
conditions considered. Those with
small totals last year will be most
likely to lead this year, local condi-
lions being equal. Every effort has
been and is being made to give every
section fair and impartial considera-
ton"

A RAIL TRAGEDY
AT ZIMMERMAN
Mrs. Patten, an Aged Woman, Struck
by Passenger Train on Satur-
day Night and Killed.
GOING FOR PAIL OF WATER
Engine. Strikes Her, Breaking Leg
in Two Places and Cutting
Of Portion Of Heel. !.

A fatal and deplorable accident oc-
Cured at Zimmerman last Saturday
evening when the northbound passen-
ger train struck Mrs. Agnes Patten,
mother of A. Patten, section foreman
at that place.
Mrs. Patten was evidently going for
pail of water at the time of the &C
cident and, no doubt, when reaching
the track and observing the train 50
nearly upon her, became too freight
ened to retrace her steps, and the en-
CINE struck her, hurting her some dis
lance. She was taken into the bag
gage car and a doctor from Milaca
who was passenger, gave his i'm
mediate services, but it proved of nc
avail as she passed away few min
utes later without regaining con-
seriousness. 1t was found that one leg
had been broken in two places and
part of one heel cut off. Just how the
accident happened is not known. Her
death was a terrible shock to her son
who had left the house but a few
minutes before. She was 6S years old
The body was taken to the Ross I'M
dertaking rooms at Princeton to be
prepared for burial and on Monday
was conveyed to st. Cloud, where
funeral services were held and inter-
ment took place.
Mrs. Patten was Of a quiet, retiring
nature, having lived in Zimmermanfou1
years keeping house for her son, who
gave her his entire devotion, caring
for her with more than ordinary con-
sideration and love. Her taking away
leaves his home void and desolate
indeed. The sympathy of the entire
community is extended him.
She is survived by four sons, three
of whom live in St. Cloud, and a
daughter, who resides in Minneapolis

ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY.
Miss Eloise L. Calihan Announces He
Candidacy for Clerk of State


Supreme Court.
Miss Eloise L. Calihan, thrice con-
fdential secretary to the state chair
man Of the republican state central
committee, and who has long been &C.
tive in Minnesota politics, is candi-
date for the nomination by the repub-
lican convention for the position of
clerk of the state supreme court.
This newspaper has the following
statement, sent by Miss Calihan from
St. Paul:
'It is true that I have decided to be-
come a candidate for the republican
nomination for clerk Of the supreme
court. I had no such thought until a
surprising number Of men and women
had suggested that I do so and when
I say that, I am telling the entire
story Of my decision to ask this con-
fidence at the hands of delegates to
the state convention. AS worker in
the ranks Of the republican party, I
have tried to do my humble bit and
with no thought of personal reward
and this I shall continue to do no mat
ter what action the convention in it's
wisdom may see fit to take"
Should Miss Calihan win the nomi-
nation at the republican convention on
March 81 in St. Paul, her election in
the fall would be reasonably certain
and Minnesota would thus have the
distinction of having named for the
first time in the United States a
woman to occupy a position of this
kind.
Two years ago, Miss Calihan served
as assistant secretary of the republi-
can state central committee, a posi-
ton which she continues to hold. She
is credited with being one of the best
posted women in the state and it is
said that more than one candidate
owes election to her keen perception as
a politician.
