The match of long The Austin
Herald says we found an old-time
match safe today that had seven of
the old-time sulpher sticks in it. Sure
ly they were made for period Of
the world when people had time to
burn. These old matches belonged to
time when there were no telephones,
no automobiles, no motorcycles and no
other means of rapid transaction Of
business. You scratch one Of them,
and while waiting for the sulphurous
fumes to clear, you can transact part
of days work. The smell is min
iature demonstration of the poison
gases of the European war. The match
of today has a get-there action. It's

of Monday evening to the effect that
Severt H. Peterson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. S. Peterson of this village,
had won a 500 prize for the best
entrance examination to Princeton uni

friends Of the young man, and highly
gratifying to them. Students eligible
to be considered in connection with the
prize, included all of those from the
great northwest, from Chicago to the
Pacific coast, who entered the we'll
known eastern institution Of learning
as freshmen last fall. The Princeton
schools have turned out some bright
young men and young women, and one
of the brightest of them is Severt.

Here From Alaska.

Chas. Sinclair arrived here from
Iditirod, Alaska, Monday evening to
visit his mother, Mrs. S. M. Sinclair,
and other friends. It is his first visit
here in Is years, and Of course he
notes numerous changes in our village.
Mr.. Sinclair has been in Alaska II
years, having been engaged in mining,
milling and prospecting. He likes the
north country first-rate, although at
times the thermometer goes down to
GA below zero, and he expects to re-
turn about March 1. Mr.. Sinclair
has been in all parts of Alaska, but
his present location is in the interior
about $50 miles from the coast. He
made the trip to the coast with his
dog team in 10 days Of actual travel
ing time, just before sailing for the
states.
Keen interest is manifested in dog
racing there, he says, and men, women
and children will wager their last
penny on their favorites. Perhaps it
would be more appropriate to say last
'two-bit" piece in this connection
however, as Mr.. Sinclair says that
last fall he saw nickel for the first
time in IL years. A quarter was the
smallest piece of change used prior
to that time.
Mr.. Sinclair met Charley Howard
another former Princeton boy, on the
boat at Valdez. Mr.. Howard was
leaving for Seward, and expected tt
secure a position in that vicinity.

Princeton Town Fire.

Mrs. Henriette Rick, an aged resi-
dent of Princeton town, being sc years
old, sustained severe burns in a fire
that wiped out her residence and the
contents thereof Friday evening. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but in
asmuch as she had habit of lighting
a match when she desired to ascertain
the time of day in the evening, it is
presumed that in some way she mad
vertentently started the blaze.
The fire was dissolved at about 7
o'clock by the family of Carl Rick, who
lives in house located within 20 feet
of the residence destroyed. Mrs. Carl
Rick and her daughter rescued the old
lady, who was then standing near the
door. Her clothing had been afire and
she was badly burned. He right arm
and face were scorched, and she had
evidently inhaled some of the fire, as
the interior of her mouth was also
burned. .7..-.. ..s..r. ,...r.... ..s..:.
Neighbors were soon on the scene
and the Carl Rick residence was saved
as result of the timely work of g
bucket brigade.
No insurance was carried on the
house or it's contents, and the loss is
estimated at $40O, including about $50
in money. Thirty dollars in silver were
found, melted together, and this will
be redeemed, in part at least, by the
government. About $50 in paper mon
ey was reduced to ashes also.
Mrs. Rick, senior, is now being caree
for at the home of her son, Carl.

be regretted that he should be removed
in the prime of life.

Local Basket Ball TOssers Win Open.
ing Game of Conference Season.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team started it's march to the
district championship at the Armory
Friday evening, by administering de-
cisive defeat to the representatives of
the Anoka high school. The final
count was 40 to Is. This was the first
conference game of the season, and
the showing of the locals was truly
gratifying to Princeton enthusiasts.
The orange and black representatives
excelled in every department of the
game. II. - H.. r.. .',-'.-~, - Il =
Princeton took the lead at the out
set, and during the first half tossed
seven field goals and two free throws
for a total of 16 points, while Anoka
managed to locate the net for seven
points. IT,.
The superiority of the locals over
their opponents was even more marked
in the second half, and Princeton
marksmen located the net with reg
ularity that was somewhat discomfort
ing to the Anoka representatives.
Eleven times field goals were nego-
tiated by the locals, and two free
throws were also chalked up, making
total of "a points. The visitors
managed to get within range of the
net occasionally, and in this half
tossed three field goals and two fouls
for eight points.
