PiNRs ron RAFriNa. The Clinton
Democrat Of last week says: 1--WE ar,
pleased 10 announce that the work oI
erecting piers for the protection oi
RATS stopping at Lockport, across
from Lock Haven, is proceeding with
most commendable speed, two piers
having been already erected. When
the next food comes raftsmon will
find a harbor where they can safely
tic up. The prompt action taken
here has stirred up Mr.. Herdic and
his friends. 1t was doubtless thought
that by holding back public notice Of
the scheme TO get the market moved
from here, the arrangement could be
perfected below before anything would
be done here, and, at the same time,
It could be offered as an excuse for the
removal, that they had waited three
or four months and nothing had been
done The promptitude with which
something was done here is to guar
antee enough that it would have been
done earlier if the committee had
obeyed the resolutions, and the peo-
pie here been informed of their de.
mands by having them published in
Lock Haven papers; but no, they
held them back, and when they were
published it was not in n paper, but
in Clearfeld. Evidently this bears
the impress of scheming to get the
market from here. But il will be found
difficult to accomplish it now that the
piers are to be erected and due pro.
lection given.
"Tho action here has occasioned
Messrs. Herdic, Fisher and Reading
of Williamsport, to visit Clearfeld, as
last weeks REPUBLICAN informs us,
"to consult with the appointed com
mittee," and, further, that, "they Of
ferod to fix up the shore at that point
(WilliamsporD in any manner the
committee might advise, and thus Sc
cure this important trade at that
place" Before that committee make
any arrangements below they should,
if they mean TO do fairly towards this
point, learn what is doing and what
is contemplated before entering into
rash promises about moving the
square timber market TO Williamsport
and leading TO preparations therefor
at that point. If they do that they
will be advised that we are in earnest
here and at work. If not, then the
work will go on anyhow, and those
gentlemen may find that they have a
big thing on hand when they attempt
TO move the square timber market
from Lock Haven to Williamsport."
