GOOD YEARS RECORD
The Sum of $76,45o Expended in New
Buildings and Improvements I
the Past Year.
A Good Record for the Year Consid-
'ering Conditions.-=Large Num-
Der of New Residences.

The sum of $76, $50 in new buildings
and Improvements for Princeton dur
ing the past year, is certainly not a
bad record, for it must be remembered
that last season was not an ideal
building season. Everything was at
the top notch SO far as price was con-
cerned, and labor was scarce and high
at that. Crop prospects were poor. The
harvest demonstrated that gloomy re-
ports early in the season were only
too true. Had it not been for these
conditions there would have been many
more new buildings put up in Prince
ton last year than there were.
Nevertheless, the showing is a good
one under the circumstances, and de-
spite all unfavorable conditions the
season was the most active one in the
construction of residences for many a
year. The houses built were not

homes, ranging in price from 81 900
to $4,000.
The greatest activity in building has
been in Ross-Mere addition living inn
mediately south of town. and where
lots went begging for buyers only a
few years ago. During the past wear
John Goulding has sold twenty two
lots in this addition. and there have
been a good many houses built in that
section the past year which is being
rapidly improved. Other parts of
Princeton have been growing, and on
the north side of the river there have
been many substantial improvements
which indicate that that pretty but
heretofore neglected part of Prince
ton is to become a good residence Sec
ton.
In the western part of Princeton
across the tracks substantial growth
has started and Summit Park will take
on new life. The addition of Chula
Vista south of town has Just begun
to be put on the market. It is we'll

ing sites.
The outlook is very promising for
many new buildings next year, and
several new residences are contem-
plated.
T. H. Galley is figuring on building
a large brick store building on Main
street right north of Jaax secondhand

Banker Grady of Foley is having built
for Mile Laos lake is to be a very
fine boat, as fine in fact as any on the
lakes of Minnesota. It will be sixty
feet long and twelve feet wide and
will draw when loaded down to it's full
capacity four feet of water which is
all that any boat will stand for safe
navigation on Mile Laos lake. It's
builder is one of the most experienced
boat builders in the country, and the
launch is being made out of white oak
and birch. Its cabin will be six and a
half feet high but will sit we'll down
in the boat which will be built for safe
navigation. Next spring large sail

vas will be placed on the lake and will

SANTA CAUGHT FIRE.
Ida Schimning's Narrow Escape From
Being Badly Burned While Act
ing as Santa Claus.
Accident Happens at Christmas Tree
at the Northwestern Hospital
on Christmas Eve.

While acting as Santa Claus at the
christmas tree at the Northwestern
hospital Christmas eve Miss Ida
Schimming, one of the nurses, had a
very narrow escape from being Sc
verely burned and had not DR.. COoney
been present, the accident might have
proved much worse than it did.
\ tree had been arranged for the en-
1ertainment of the attaches of the hos
pital, and a few friends, and Miss
!Schimming was dressed ub to represent
Santa Claus. In ''making up" for the
jolly dispenser Of presents she used
cotton batting, which was also placed
about the tree.
While reaching for one of the pres
ents her sleeve caught fire and in an
instant her garments were all ablaze,
the cotton batting burning like SO
much Oil. The tree caught fire at the
same time. and for a few seconds mat
tors looked very serious. When he
saw that the nurses clothes were afire
DR.. Cooney with great presence of
mind pulled off his coat and wrapped
it tightly about her face, for he feared
she might inhale the deadly flames,
which had burned her arms, chest and
face, before they could be extinguished.
Sam Carew, who was present, assisted
in putting out the flames, and Mrs.
Cooney grabbed the burning tree and
ran to the door with it.
Miss Schimming was given prompt
medical attention, and her burns were
handaged and she was put to bed.
Her injuries are not at all serious and
she will recover from them in a very
short time.
The accident put a very sudden ter
lnination to the Christmas festivities,
but all felt thankful that the accident
did not result more seriously.

Nov. IA, 1772.
There she saw the army of Washing
ton in the trying days of 1777 and
IT'S when the revolutionary forces
were camped near Valley Forge. the
topography Of which section she
knows perfectly to-day, although she
has not visited the scene in decades.
While Mary Mcdonald was living
with the Howells, at their place near
the King of Prussia, which is on the
direct line from the Gulph to Valley
Forge. the army crossed from White
Marsh, at Conshocken, then encamped
at the Gulph, from Dec. II to Dec. -,
1777, before proceeding to Valley
Forge. The army and teams would
pass the King of Prussia, where Mary
Mcdonald saw them.
Her account of the times corresponds
with the well-authenticated stories
published in current text books. In
recalling her personal impressions she
says: 1.-The guns were always going
off and skeered us at night" This
corresponds with the fact that there
was constant skirmishing in the neigh
borhood of Philadelphia in the autumn
and winter of l777-7S.
1.-The soldiers were always going up
and down the road by our place, all
dressed up in buttons.'' This last
suggestion identified the Continental
uniform. ''These soldiers came
around twice a week to collect the
stuff our folks had made ready for
them. All the women round the place
worked for them and fixed up stuff for
them to eat. Them was awful days. -
These statements correspond with the
ira ditions of the White Marsh valley
Mary Mcdonald to-day weighs only
so pounds. and is frail that the nurses
who look after her are afraid that she
will break. She is blind, and the only
JOY in life is her pipe, which she
smokes necessarily. Her birthday
paties are the only ''events" in her

Just celebrated her 18th, if not her

all her important statements as to his

memory have been fully verified by

Whether she is 1877 years old or
only 134 is a point that hinges en-
tirely on her age at the time she was
placed in the family of Reese Howell
near Valley Forge. From Mr.. Howell
she learned that she was seven years
old when he got her. But other mem
bers of the Howell family told her that
