The Princeton brickyard started up yesterday morning for the first time this season. Owing to the wet weather it was not deemed advisable to start before but the recent improvement in trade and large shipments of brick made it necessary this week.

Anxious About Stock. Since the storm in North Dakota which raged with such fury recently and in which considerable stock was lost, Frank Campbell has not heard from the Townsend boys with whom he is interested in cattle, sheep and horses, and he is anxious to learn how the stock weathered the big storm. They have 1,000 head of cattle, 2,000 sheep and a lot of horses in the country around the mouth of the Yellowstone. From reports Mr. Campbell has had from parties who have come through the west he learns that the storm west of Williston was light and he does not think that the stock suffered much in that section.

K. H. Burrell and Frank Campbell formally took possession of the Commercial hotel last Friday, Mine Host Newbert retiring to private life after twenty years or more in the hotel business. In the hotel transaction Mr. Newbert purchased the residence of Mr. Campbell and has moved into the same. Mr. Campbell has bought Mr. Burrell’s residence, and both Mr. Burrell and Mr. Campbell and their families have moved into the hotel. It goes without saying that the new owners of the Commercial will make a success of the well known caravansary, as both of them have had considerable experience as hotel landlords. Here’s success to them. The Princeton Union, Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, Thursday, April 10, 1902, Volume XXVI , Number 17, Page 5)
