A New Burlington Book. Railroad companies are great pat rons not only of the liberal arts but of that modern classical expression that printing, engraving and photography places within the reach of everyone. The Burlington Route has contri buted its share to the sum total of rail road art and its latest addition will rank among the finest specimens of scenic souvenirs ever issued. It is the Burlington's Book of St. Paul and Minneapolis, a rich oblong volume picturing first the magnificent train, then scenes along the route, then St. Paul and surroundings, followed by Ft. Snelling and Minneapolis. In all respects, composition, letter-press, il lustrations and binding,/it is a dainty volume. Copies of this elegant book can be had by enclosing 25 cents (postage stamps not received) to Geo. P Lyman, G. P. A., Burlington Route, St. Paul, Minn. Expenses of remittance can be saved by several persons combining their orders. Born to Mr. and^ Mrs. Alexander Blair, of Greenbush, July 31, a boy. Bob Burch succeeded in starting his drivemicely last Tuesday and by night had it nearly to Spencer Brook. According to an exchange a hand ful or two of flour from the flour barrel is the best extinguisher of gasoline. If your gasoline stove gets to acting up, bear this in mind, as a handful of flour is worth more than half a dozen pails of water and won't make any thing like the muss to clean up. M. A. Tibbetts has sold his hotel near the depot to J. L. Larson, who will probably take possession within a few days, the deal having been closed but the transfer has not been completed. Mr. Tibbettb has man aged the hotel so long that he will be greatly missed. Mr. Larson, the new proprietor, has the UNION'S best wishes for his success The water tower has attained a suf ficient height now so that people can see what sort of a structure it will be and our town is receiving many com pliments. The engine room is being ceiled and otherwise prepared for the reception of the power and lighting plant. When completed the village will have over three miles of electric light wires on its pole line The linework on the streets is nearly completed and as soon as the machin ery arrives and is put in place the electric lights can be turned on Mr. Patterson says that as far as the work of construction is concerned he will be ready to turn over the plant Sept 1. He is afraid, however, that there will be some delay experienced in getting the machinery on the ground. Tuesday morning Princeton was vis ited by a heavy electrical storm and for a#few minutes things looked decid edly interesting in this necK o' the woods. At 1 o'clock the gale struck and for fully half an hour the timid ones kept the cellar door open ready for a rapid exit. The lightning played incessantly but the whole storm ap peared to be too far above the earth to do any particular damage One of the Mille Lacs lake mail car riers has thrown up his contract and A. J. Barrett has been secured to carry the mail temporarily. The con tractors attempted to sue the bonds men of the delinquent carrier, but found the bond to be valueless. If this experience is repeated a few times the blanket contractors will lose some of the profits they have hitherto derived from bleeding the local men The Princeton gun club has decided to pay a reward of $25 in addition to the remuneration allowed by the State for the arrest and conviction of any one guilty of shooting out of season. This will give the complainant a nice little purse for whatever trouble he may experience in securing a con\ IC tion of lawbieakers. The larger part of the farmers in this section have signified their willingness to co-oper ate with the club in protecting the game and so far this year there has been very little shooting in this vicin ity. The Milwaukee is said to be prepar ing to build a line to Duluth between the Coon Creek cut-off and the St. Paul & Duluth. The Northern Pacific is also reported to be planning a line north from Minneapolis. It begins to look as if Northeastern Minnesota will soon be covered with a network of rail roads. It is one of the most produc tive sections of the northwest and the railroad companies appear to realize this and intend to get in on the ground floor. But after all it is not wise to believe all the railroad rumors you hear, even if they are pleasing to you. Dairy Business. It is noticeable that in every com munity, in which the dairy is well de veloped, there is a high degree of prosperity and refinement. The in fluence of the business is uplifting. It requires intelligence and a wide study to make the business a success, and all this is on the line of refinement. It demands gentleness of disposition. No rough, brutal man can achieve suc cess in the dairy. He must be kind, and, if not naturally so, he must culti vate the spirit of kindness. The cow must be loved, must be petted, must be fed well and fed properly, and all this leads to the broadening of the mind and the improvement of our natures. Then, there must be cleanliness, not only about the premises, but about the person. An Indiana dairyman has a covered barnyard, and he was asked at an institute if he was satisfied with that way of keeping manure. "Why," said he, "I do not have a covered barn yard for the purpose of keeping manure. All manure is hauled out as soon as made in order to keep the yard clean. I constructed a cover over the yard for the comfort of my cows." There was a whole volume of dairy instruction in those few words. The watchfulness to preserve cleanli ness and the kindness to the cows are the corner stones to successful dairy ing.Practical Dairymen.
