T?he territory tributary to Princeton
is becoming well routed with free rural
service. Had the Estes Brook route
beeji in better shape for roads there
would be a service opened to supply
6 section^ this spring, but there is
ojjSSfthing youf Uncle Samuel Insists
on and that is reasonably good roads
for rural mail service. He thinks that
if he can guarantee the farmers good
mail service they should guarantee his
mail carriers good roads, and in this
he is right.
An application for a free rural route
east from Princeton out around Green
lake will soon be forwarded to the de
partment. This route will go directly
east to Green lake and along the north
shore to Spectacle lake, thence south
one mile on the east side of Spectacle
lake, thence southwest to the creek or
outlet of Green lake, thence northwest
to Green lake, thence south one mile
and into Princeton over the main trav
eled road. The route may require a
few changes in route No. 2 and the two
routes will be so arranged as to. give
the territory east of Princeton the best
kind of service.
Postmaster Cordiner has taken con
siderable interest in the free rural
delivery routes which he thinks area
great help both to the farming and
business community, and he has given
those interested in establishing rural
routes all the assistance and informa
tion possible.

and "was "bunt only three years
It is a three story mill and fully
equipped for doing a good milling
business. The deal was consummated
this week and yesterday Messrs. Craig
and Dielman, and Chas. Carlson who
has been with the Princeton roller
mill for some time, went down to Long
Lake to take charge of the property
and place it in shape for operating
Mr. Dielman will look after the busi
ness management of the mill while Mr.
Carlson, who is an experienced miller,
will be head miller. While the new
company will be entirely independent
of the Princeton Roller Mill Co the
two mills will be operated under a
joint business management and the
Long Lake mill will be in one sense an
auxiliary to the Princeton mill whose
business has been growing at a very
rapid rate the last few years, and un
der the new arrangement the company
will be able to better handle its in
creasing trade. Mr. Craig has made
the Princeton milt one of the best
roller mills in the northwest and its
flour and milling products rank up to
a very high standard. He will give
the LD~4) Lakejtgill much of hie per
sonal supervision and place it on a par
with the Princeton mill. The Long
Lake mill has a capacity of seventy
five barrels of flour per day.
St. Cloud Normal Improvements.
Clarence G. Johnston, architect for
the board of control, was in the city
to-day to take up the matter of
building the addition to the main
building of the St. Cloud normal school
Senator Brower secured an appropria
tion from the legislature for this pur
pose of $30,000. The plans were pre
pared two years ago and have the, ap
proval of the building committee of
the normal board.
The addition is to the main building,
which will be brought out in front
some forty or fifty feet, anew roof will
be put on the entire main building,
and when completed will be a very
handsome building, and a great^ im
provement as a school building.
Mr. Johnston drove to the reforma
tory to consult with Superintendent
Randall about some repairs to that in
stitution, and returned to St. Paul this
afternoon.St. Cloud Journal Press,

A SUIT FOR $30,000.
Andrew Larson of Ogilvie Brings a
Suit Against Matthias Jost of
flankato for $30,000.
Larson Claims He Was Imprisoned
Without Just Cause and Claims
Heavy Damages.
Attorneys A. E. ClaTk of Mankato,
and Lewis C. Gjertsen of Minneapolis,
have been in Princeton the past week
taking depositions in an action com
menced by Andrew Larson of Ogilvie
against Matthias Jost of Mankato for
$30,000 damages for false imprison
ment. Last May Jost had Larson and
another man by the name of Andrew
Bodin arrested on the charge of hav
ing stolen 100,000 feet of timber off of
the plaintiffs land situate in sections
39-26 and 40-26, the land being near
Page, where at the time the defend
ants had been running a small saw
mill. Larson and Bodin were brought
before Justice Dickey at the time and
they waived examination and were
held to the grand jury. Subsequently
they were released on bail, and when
the grand ]ury met last September the
matter was given a full investigation
and the defendants were discharged,
as no indictment was found against
them. Lewis Gjertsen appeared at
the time in the interests of Larson and
Bodin.
Larson claims that his feelings and
reputation has been damaged to the
extent of $30,000 and has placed the
matter in the hands of Gjertsen who
has commenced an action. Jost denies
each and every allegation and the re
sult is that Mr. Clark as attorney for
Jost and Mr. Gjertsen as attorney for
Larson have been hustling for deposi
tions and evidence in the case. They
were looking over the records in the
justice court and examined Mr. Dickey
before whom the examination was
conducted. County Attorney Ross was
also examined as to Mr. Jost's appear
ance before the grand jury and on
other matters connected with the case.
Mr. Jost is a resident of Mankato
where he has resided tor a long time,
and has extensive interests. He owns

President's Funeral.
The citizens of Princeton will be giv
en an opportunity for the first time on
Saturday evening next (Feb. 1st) at
opera house of witnessing the entire
funeral of our late president. You will
see the funeral from the time it leaves
the Millburn house, Buffalo, until it
arrives at the cemetery at Canton, thus
witnessing the greatest funeral ever
known in the world. Don't miss seeing
those pictures, as this is the only ma
chine on the road that has got the
president's funeral. There are two
hundred other very interesting pic
tures that will also be shown. Tickets
on sale at the usual place.
This is what the St. Cloud Journal
Press says about the entertainment:
"Balan's Biascope entertainment at
the Davidson Saturday evening gave
the very best satisfaction. Many who
attended the performance the evening
before were present at the second
entertainment, which is a good enter
tainment. The many pictures were the
best ever seen at the Davidson, those
of the McKinley funeral being very
clear and distinct, conveying an excel
lent idea, true in every detail, of the
most important funeral ever held in
America. The theater would have
been crowded had it not been for the
storm which prevailed. The attrac
tion is a good one and worthy of liberal
patronage.
K. P. Field Day at Princeton.
Mille Lacs Company No. 3, Uniform
Rank, K. P., will have a chance to be
host to the first battalion of the first
regiment of the Uniform Rank at the
battalion field day and inspection
which is to be held the first week in
June at some place in the State. The
battalion intends to go outside the
cities this year and it is thought that
if the business men of Princeton will
take hold and help entertain the guests
an invitation will he extended the
members of the first battalion. With
the Princeton company the battalion
consists of three Minneapolis compan
ies, and they would be accompanied by
the St. Paul company that goes to San
Francisco next summer to attend the
competitive drilL The field day ex-"
ercises and inspection would be at
tended by over 300people, mostly uni
formed K. P's who would come on'
special train and remain during the
day. The local K. P's would be ex
pected to entertain the guests while
here, and it would seem that the event
is well worth securing for Princeton.
It would bring a large crowd to the
place and be one of the gala days of
therrear.
