 Crater Is Active

and found two large explosion pits, -craters within crater. Crater Is Active Soda and iron bi-carbonate springs abounded at the head of the lake. Bears and caribou ranged on the volcanic Hanks. Tine most interesting discovery was that the supposed dormant Aniakchak crater was active. In three portions of the wall steam issued, and in one recently exploded part, few doz- en active fumaroles rivaled those of lthe Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Colors, too, on the walls, rivaled the Royal Gorge and glaciers hung on it's highest points.
 The six and three-quarter miles diameter crater of Aniakchak is the true wonder of the Alaska Pe- ninsula, twice the size of Katmai, and active. We were 21 days on the trail. We had 10 days of uninter- rupted sunshine, and only three days of rain the whole trip. also no mosquitos.
 1000 Photographs Taken
 We paid for our luck on the next trip. when we tried to climb the huge Veniaminof crater, 80 miles south of Aniakchak Return ing to Aniakchak Bay in three days from the crater, pitching tender caused members of the party to experience little mai de mere. We took 100 photographs of the trip and developed them at the cannery and then went up Chignik Lagoon and Chignik River to the head of Chignik Lake.
 "Alders, soft tundra, swollen riv- CTS, and mosquitoes made life just one d. thing after another, but none lost his sense of humor and the Fourth of July saw us on the black volcanic sands of Veniamin- offs base, which is almost 100 miles in circumference. A herd of caribou obliged us by walking right into camp and after consenting to moving pictures and still photos, one huge buck supplied us with meat for two weeks.
 Almost Defied Assault
 The mountain almost defied as- sault; 4,000 foot cliffs where even glacier could not hold on, baked several attempts to scale them and almost discouraged and licked we finally made a forced day and night trek to the Bering Sea side and gained the highest point of the 8,400 foot mountain from a spot known as the Island Glacier. The walls go down more than 2,000 feet on the inside which is filled with ice, the largest crater glacier in the world.

 Twenty-Five thousand fans saw the Cuban flash go down to his first defeat of his career.
 The Britisher forced the pace, but the crowd, by demonstration thought the negro's punching was cleaner, to give him an edge. There were no knockdowns.
 Berg may now be matched with Al Singer, who recently won the lightweight championship from Sammy Mandell.

Swanville Surprise Team

Swanville, just a wide spot in the
road on the N. P. branch up Nor
rison county way, was the surprise
team of the tournament.
They were given the Alexandra
assignment for the last game of the
opening series. The fans settled
back thinking it was just another
game, figuring Alex would not be
called upon to extend themselves to
enter the semi-finals. The first
quarter ended with Alex on the
long end of 1915 score. In the Sec
ond period Swanville began to
show their stuff and closed the half
only two behind the big boys from
Douglas county, the score being 10
13.
This Swanville team has a guard
named O. Beseman. He is very
stocky built fellow and apparently
does not move very fast, but-he
was in on every play, and Incl
dentally in this game scored ~
points before the final whistle blew.
Swanville came to town without
the Larson twins, star forwards, at
home down with the measles.
This team have style OF onense
and defense which is very bewilder-
ing. When one of the men gets
hold of the ball there is consider

Tobacco Growers Will
Meet Saturday Evening
Question of Whether or Not Local
Club Is Ready to Join Pool
Will Be Settled.

The tobacco growers of this and
neighboring counties had meet
ing at st. Cloud March 9Th, to de-
eide on the pool of the 1880 crop.
Some were not ready and other
things coming up delayed the or
ganization. Another meeting will
be held Monday, March 18th, to
further discuss the proposition.
The Sank Centre growers will
have a meeting on Saturday, March
18th, at 500 p. M, and it is hoped
that all members, also ali who wish
to grow tobacco, be present at this
meeting.
The pool proposition is large
item and should be well and thor
oughly discussed. It is a very good
thing for the growers and many
others, if it is organized along the
right lines, and the right men run
it.
Everyone interested in the grow
ing and the sale of tobacco should
attend the meeting in this city Sat
urday and elect responsible dele
gates to the st. Cloud meeting, to
decide definitely if this club shall
run Independent for a time and
perhaps later join the pool.
There is no use of forming pool
if go or Is per cent of the growers
do not join and stick by the united

Osalxis Trims Parkers Prairie

Folks in this neck of the woods
were wondering what sort of a mir
acle team the little hamlet of Park
er's Prairie possessed as they had
eliminated the well coached and
rangy Glenwood team at the SUP
District tournament at Alex the
week before by score of 10 IT.
AS the writer watched the Park
critics mix with Osakis he came to
the conclusion that when Parker S
Prairie met Glenwood they were
an inspired team, and the latter
were suffering from a bad case of
over-confidence. At the end of the
half Parkers Prairie had scored a
single point while Osakis had piled
up total of 10. In the third quart
er Parker's Prairie connected for
two field goals and Osakis six. In
the last quarter Parker's Prairie
came to life and played Osakis off
their feet scoring II points to Csa-
kis' 4. The final score was Osakis
26, Parker's Prairie II. The follow
ing is the summary:

Original Action for $40
Goes to Supreme Court
A Cow, a Corn Field, and a Broken
Fence Are Expensive for
Sank Centre Farmers.

In December 1928, a case involv-
ing $1,000 was tried in the Sank
Centre Municipal Court before
Judge r. r. Kells, with Sam Clark
and Frank J. Tank as the litigants.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Kells awarded each a verdict OF
$1,000 with the costs divided.
The case was carried to the Dis
trict court and was heard before
Judge Roeser at st. Cloud in Janu-
ary 1929. He awarded the verdict
to Mr.. Tank and assessed the costs
against Mr.. Clark. An appeal was
taken to the Minnesota Supreme
Court. Friday of last week the
highest tribunal in the state hand
ed down a decision reversing Judge
Roeser and assessing the costs OF
the action on Mr.. Tank.
Tank sued Clark for $40 July 16,
in Sank Centre municipal court on
charge that Clark's cattle broke
through a fence and destroyed corn
growing on his land. Clark replies
with a countersuit for $100, alleg-
ing a verbal agreement bound both
neighbors to keep the fence repair
ed and that Tank was responsible
for the broken section.
Judge r. r. Kells in Sank Cen
ire municipal court gave each
verdict of $40 and assessed each
for the costs of the other. The
neighbors might have broken even
and decided to drop the case but
Tank was ordered to pay only $5.oo
and Clark was assessed $16.45, leav-
ing him behind $10.77

Maskrat Season Opens
March 20 ate Noon
Closes April 18th, at Noon Laws
Should Be Carefully Ad-
hered To.

The Muskrat season in the State
of Minnesota will open March 20,
at twelve o'clock noon, and will
remain open until April Is, at
twelve o'clock noon.
The above dates were set with the
idea of striking general average
which would most nearly benefit
the greatest number Of trappers
throughout the state as whole.
Several changes in the law gov
erning the trapping of muskrats
have been made since the last open
season, and for the benefit of our
readers interested in this subject,
we enumerate them here.
No one trapper may set mora
than fifty traps for muskrats at
any one time.
No traps may be set for musk
rats in their runways, nor unde,
the ice near their houses.
Houses may be opened and traps
set inside but the material removed
must be replaced when trap is set
and also when the trap is removed
from the house.
Traps set for muskrats may not
be set, visited or removed between
the hours of 500 p. M, and 600 Il
m. Some confusion has arisen or
this pont; the intent of the law is
that no trapper shall be permitted
on muskrat marches during the
prescribed hours, not to prohibit
the leaving of set traps in houses
during the night hours.
All trappers must have a 1896
trapping license except those who
trap only on lands owned and oc
cupied by themselves as their per
manent homestead. All traps must
be out of houses at noon on the
closing day.

ROBBERS GET $l9O
In This CITY FRI.
Force Entry Into School
Building and Break Open
superintendent Safe
NOT JOB OF AMATEURS
Only $40 of Amount Taken
Belonged to SchOol-Bal-
ance Basketball

Sank Centre assumed metropol-
itan airs for short time some
time Friday night.
Professional yeggs broke into
the office of Supt. H. A. F'alk, of
the Public School, forced an entry
in the office safe and made away
with $3.50.
The crooks evidently knew that
the annual district basketball tour
nament was being held in this city
and were anxious to cop liberal
share of the gate receipts.
Because of the numerous win
dows of the Senior High School
building forced entry is not diff
f1cult. The lock of the door lead
ing into the superintendent office
was picked without apparent diff
ficulty, as there were no visible
marks on the doors. They were
locked as usual when the office
was opened Saturday morning.
The safe is one of those con-
structed of light steel. Ordinarily
there is only enough money on
hand to care for the current ex-
penses of the lunches served by
the Domestic Science department,
the Manual Training department,
and other activities. Friday even
ing there was approximately $4,000
in the various school funds in the
safe. One hundred and fifty dol
lars Of the gate receipts of Fridays
basketball tourney was there. More
would have been in the safe had
there been room for it.
The dial was broken off but this
did not do the burglars any good.
A hole was then cut in the safe and
with a crowbar the door was bent
sufficiently to force it open.
The burglars made their get-a-
way without leaving any clues.
The same evening the safe in the
office of the High School superin-
tendent at Sank Rapids, was brok-
en- into and robbed. A district bas-
betball tourney also was being held
there. The loot there amounted to
over $500, and the robbers escaped
as clearly as they did in this city.
It is possible that both jobs were
committed by the same gang. Sauls
Rapids is less than two hours
away from Sank Centre on the
pavement.

Public Health Students
to Be Trained in This City
Young Woman from State Univer-
sity to Work With Miss Kahl-
strOm, School Nurse

Miss Eula Butzerin, director of
the Public Health course at the
University of Minnesota, had con-
ference in Sank Centre with Mr..
Falk and Miss Kahlstrom. Plans
were made to send Miss Alice Ror-
rison, of the University school,
to Sank Centre from March "a to
April 5, for her student school
nursing.
All Public Health students at the
University are given three months
of field work, two weeks of it being
school nursing for which two uni
versity credits are given. The first
week is spent in observation and
the second in participation under
supervision.
Previously this work has been
carried on in the city schools. It
is felt, however, that in such a
health department as Sank Centre
has that the student will receive
mere valuable experience and a
clearer conception of the three
phase health program.
Monday afternoon when the
truck, owned by Lampert Lumber
Co., was being backed from the
Main Street Garage, Chevrolet
Coach driven by Fred Detterman
ran into it. The coach was quite
badly damaged. The Lampert Co
settled the damage.
