Day view, MarCu 1904.
Editor Mail:-W We the undersigned, in
order t. answer the stsiement made in
tue Enterprise oi Feb. 22a have taken
the pains to measure the water in the
slough leading out to SHIP Harbor
from point directly in front of the
store ar B y View. and find the following
result. At low tide today the banks at
the slough are three feet above the water,
40 water appearing on either side only
IN the small sloughs. We have sounded
the channels from he mouth ot Whitneys
slough where it empties into the large
slough directly in front OF the Bay
Views store, and find an av-
erage depth of ten feet Of water from
the point one half mile toward Hat Is
land. AT and near the mouth OF Whit.
ney Slough We find 10 ,l5, & 81 feet OF wa
ter. The distance to the deepest water
from the store 10 l160 yards, which il
less than three quarters Of a mile, AZ
formerly stated. This shows that the
marine chart in the Enterprise Office does
not fully represent all the navigabls
slcughs IN Psdilla Bay. If still there are
doubts regarding the depth of this slough
ana its distacue from the store, We are
ready at any time to assist any person.
who wish to come and examine tor them
selves. The slough is almost straight
there being but one slight bend or curve
with q width OF 300 feet, and widening

HANDSOME Pusr ROOM.
The Quarters to DO Occupied by Admiral
keynolds Post No. iOS, q. A. X.

Admiral Rsynold post No. 405, q. A. X.
have just furnished aud fitted up Que of
the handsomest rooms Ia the city. Ii is
in the third story of Kepler's hardware
building on North Queen street. The room
was first remodeled by Mr.. Kepler who
had new floor laid and had platforms
erected. For weeks past the members of
the post have been working lko beavers in
the room.
A very pretty Brussels carpet has been
laid by j. b. Martin & Co., and the room
has been papered by the same firm. There
are two large panels in the paper on either
side of the officers desks in the front of
the room, which bear large badges of the
Grand Army with notices. The room is
also supplied with sevepty-tive solid
| looking chairs, with perforated backs and
seats and the letters "G. A. r." worked
| on them. These were purchased through
the agency Of Lem G. Eaby VIM. Wohlsen
supplied the four large Walnut pedestals
| TO be used by the officers, which occupy
positions on the ends and sides of the
room. The light is furnished by four
handsome chandeliers, which John l..
Arnold supplied.
On the south wall of the room hangs q
6ne oil painting Of Admiral VIM. Rey-
nolds, after whom the post is named.
The painting was made by r. w. Dawson,
of Washington, ID. G., from copy made
by Betz u Richards, Of a photograph
taken In Yokohoma. The friends of the
late Admiral who have seen the picture
| say that it is an excellent likeness.
The room certainly presents fine ap-
pearance and the committee who had the
work Of furnishing 1t in charge, deserves
great credit. 1t consists of w. +. Ham
bright, Adam Delett, ii. M. Geiter, ii.
| II. Betz, George II. Miller, Robert Mo.
Donnell, George w. Huffnagle, David
Martin, jr., asd J. NJ. Rudy.
On Monday, during the day, the room
will be open for inspection. In the even.
ing camp fire will be held to which all
members Of Posts 405 and "a as we'll as all
soldiers with their families are invited.

Last evening Thatcher, Primrose \

head and shoulders above all others Ia this
country, made their first appearance since
their organization, in this city. The opera
house was packed from the orchestra box
to the veutilators, and standing room sold
as rapidly as seats. The performance was
probably the best aud most finished ever
given in this city, and the result was n
highly delighted audience. About 30
persons were seen in the first part, includ-
ing twelve end men. The stories and
jokes of Thatcher, Edwards, Rice, Prim
rose aud Mack were fresh and funny. The
music was very tine and several pretty
ballads we're rendered. Those worthy of
special mention were by Frank Howard

Lock Haven on "Wednesday ranged from
l3 to % for pine and from to 10 for hem
lock, the purchaser having TO pay for the
running OF the timber down the river,
Along the shores at that place were lying
about 400 RATS on that day, with arrivals
rather brisk. There is a great deal more
of inferior timber among the stock this
year than heretofore, which causes the
great differences in the price of pine as
quoted at Lock Haven.
The river is considerably above good
rafting height, and was yesterday SLOWLY
falling. From appearances river business
will be brisk next week. Friday there
were about 90 RATS lying along tho shore,
90 Of which were spar, 10 sawed lumber
aud the balance square timber.

A Sound OpinlOn,

The NoU Era thinks that the Repub-
licans who read Judge Pattcrson's Jan
uary opinion, that tavern keepers should
not be required to take the oath, made
up for them by Judge Livingston, that
they had not violated the requirements
OF their previous license, will become
speedily convinced thereby that Judge
Patterson is not fit to be judge. We,
however, are of the opinion that If moth
ing worse than this can be laid 20 Judge
Patterson's charge, the Republicans may
vote for him with very clear con
science, For that was souul position
to take. Judge Livingston hal no right
TO ask the tavern keepers ID swear that
they had not violated their licenses. 1t
was an extra. judicial and eXtra.reason-
able oath. Ii the landlords had not
observed their licenses the constab!es
should have reported them and if the
court wanted tocOnvict them of selling
liquor contrary to law, it should have
sought the evidence in another way than
by forcing 1t out Of their own mouths
Judge Livingston undertakes nquisito
rial methods of legal procedure when he
attempts to convict men by a forced con
fesslon. 1t won't do in this latitude !;
and MIR, Atlee, the Nc,0 Era's candidate
ior judge, Is not going to be helped to
the votes OF sensible Republicans by its
animation that he agrees with Judge
Livingston that tavern keepers may
properly be made to convict themselves
by a judicial thumbscrew.
