ON THE RIVER.
Some Gossip About Number
of Things.


Mcdonald Comes to Leok after the
Locks Being Built- " hat has and is
Being Done lock Eleven Has a
Golfer Dam Completed Na,ig alton
is Rather Precautions Other River
Notes.
Mr.. c. /. Mcdonald has been
here to look after his interests ON the
improvements that are being made on
the river. The work has been re
sumed this week but as yet no very
large amount OF men have been put
on the job. There is some resump-
tion of activity across the river at the
lock here but it is not up to the pitch
that it took before the sudden shut
down on account of lack of material
that came on short time ago.
A great deal remains yet TO be done
on the lock here but it is expected to
be ready for the use of river craft by
early fall How it can be unless there
is stirring around is hard to see
However whenever the work begins in
earnest the lock and dam can be fin
ished directly.
The Golfer dam for the lock on num-
Der eleven opposite the old mill below
Ellington is completed and il is ready
for work to begin on it. 1t will
not be long before it is started. This
lock is just below the farthest eA-
tension Of slack water from lock nuA-
Der nine. They come rather close
here but the fall is very great aud
this throws them close together.
Architect Elmer +. Jacobs IS work
ing hard on the plans for the Offices
at the different lock sand on the lock
tenders houses. He is the architect
for all OF the work that will be done
by the government in connection with
the Stacking Of the river.
The river men are complaining be-
cause of the lowness of the water and
hundreds of barges are Icing in The
river below here waiting for raise
sufficient to take them TO market.
They are likely to remain as they are
for some time. Last week however
there was more business done on the
river than at any time in its history
before
The lock at number three is some
what out of order but it has not de-
layed traffic to any extent yet. The
one at number nine las been fixed up
temporarily and new valve will be
put in as soon as it can be brought up
from below. 1t has been made for
some time and ready to bring to the
place where it is needed.

MANY VARIETIES.
Over fifty Different varities Of
Timothy Described.

Important Work Being Done by the
Experiment station Cnder Direction
Of DIR. Hopkins Valuable Discoveries
for Farmers Important Report Of
Investigations In Pine Forests OF
This State Published.
A visit to the Experiment Station
made by representative OF this pa
per brought out some very interesting
things about the work that is being
done by Dr. A. D. Hopkins. He is
making some Investigations in regard
TO timothy that will prove of very
great value to the farmers Of the coun-
try.
The investigation of this branch
was begun before he entered the Sta
tion here and the work has been turn
ed over to the authorities at this
place. They are busy working on the
line mapped out and some very inter
esting and valuable facts are being
learned.
1t will surprise the ordinary citizen
to lie told that there are more than
fifty distinct varieties Of timothy and
that these are widely different 10
growth and other characteristics.
Some Of them grow very large with
abundance OF seed making them valu-
able for hay aud seed. Others grow
quickly and will yield two crops Ia one
year. Others have peculiarties that
make them desirable.
The result of the work that is be-
ing carried on is expected to bring out
great many things of value in the
kind of timothy to be sown on GER
tain grounds and the kind to have in
order To get certain kinds OF hay.
These Investigations and their results
are but one of the many things that
are being done to bring out facts Of
practical value to the farmers of the
country. No other station is working
along this line and the work is dis
tinctly original with DR.. Hopkins.
The report that he made of this
work in the pine forests of this state
after the pine beetle and of the trip TO
Europe in the quest of something to
remedy the ravages Of the insect has
just been issued. The book was
printed during his absence and num-
Der of typographical errors have crept
into it.
This is most interesting report
even to the layman and everyone who
has any interest in the subject should
get it and read what was done. The
work done covered the years 1880

ANOTHER WARNING.

Sounds 1t.

Gives out some Resolutions for the ben
eft Of the People North OF here
They are applicable heie-Danger
Unless Proper Precautions are taken
What they Say.
A meeting of the Fayette County
Medical Society was held day or
so ago at Connelsville Nearly ali
of the members were present Part
of the work done is of great interest
to the people of this valley.
A paper was read by DR.. j. w.
Worrell, of Brownsville, giving an
account of the recent epidemic oil
smallpox at Brownsville and vicini
ty. After the reading of this paper
the following resolutions were unan.
'mously adopted by the society.
Resolved, That it is the sense oil
the Fayette County Medical Society
to accept the statements made in DR.
WorrelPs paper on the epidemic OF
smallpox in the Brownsville district
as the true facts and conditions oil
the epidemic at that place and, that
the society endorses his position
that there were cases Of genuine
smallpox.
Resolved, That the Fayette Coun-
ty Medical Society warn the public
that there is strong probability oil
an epidemic of smallpox appearing
in this vicinity upon the approach oil
the winter weather, and that said
county medical society advise all
persons who have not been success
fully vaccinated to have it done be.
fore the cold weather begins, and
further that all school boards of the
county, be reminded OF their duty to
enforce the vaccination clause of the
school law.
These resolutions are in line with
the warning issued by the state
board of health of Pennsylvania a
short time ago and they should put
us our guard. Smallpox is not a
terrible disease if we fight it from
the start but in case we allow it to
get a foothold it will make things
very interesting for us.
The first indications of spread
of the disease in this direction should
be the signal for wholesale vacci-
nation in this town and county. We
may not get it and the chances are
that we wont but it is best to err on
the safe side.
