The Oakland Mills to be Converted into
FIGURING Mills With Capacity of so
Barrels Per Day.
A few days ago the owners of the
Oakland Mills, formerly the Rasche
Mill, received from the manufacturers
at Chambersburg, Pa, a car load Of
machinery consisting of rolls, dresser,
scourer, gyrator bolter, etc, which is
now being installed in the building.
All the machinery is of the latest
improved pattern for the successful
manufacture of first class high grade
wheat flour and cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. There are three stands
of rolls and the gyrator system for
boiling wheat is a recent invention
and has been operated very success
fully all over the country.
The owners of the mill are expect
ing a car load of wheat within the
next few weeks when the manufact-
ure of flour will begin. The mill will
have capacity of fifty barrels per
day.
We trust that the enterprise may
meet with particular favor among the
farmers.

Our Dwindling Timber Supply.

The shortage of the timber supply
in the forests of the United States is
not matter of guesswork. We have
so reduced our wooded area that the
question of future supply and the
means of reproduction and replenish-
ment must be seriously considered.
Even the great forests of the Domin-
ion must dwindle before Continental
demand. The supply is not measure
less. A late report of the United
States Consul General at Montreal on
the Canadian lumber output enters
into detail. 1t shows that Ontraio
has 102, 118 square miles of woodland.
Quebec 1861. British Columbia
2S5, ,554, the Northwest Territory $685.,
952, and the remainder of Canada
enough to make total of 1,24S, ,79S
square miles. The quantity of white
pine in Ontraio is estimated at 19, ,404, =
100000 broad feet, in Quebec at 49,
734, 100000 and in other provinces at
2,200,0OO,0O0. Some of the best cedar
areas are north of New Brunswick.
British Columbia contains the largest
compact timber area in the world.
Two hundred years ago we began
the attack ON a breadth of forests
quite as extensive, and it must be re-
membered that as the trees have gone
their destroyers have multiplied.

WRECKED THE BASTILE.
DIR. Boggess, of Terra Alta, Came Down to

War Path,

Dr. Boggess, of Terra Alta, Came Down to
Oakland Friday and Went on the
War Path.
DR.. s. L. Boggess, of Terra Alta,
who few months ago fell from a
freight train in Fifty-eight Cut, west
OF Oakland, and received injuries by
which he lost his right arm, made his
appearance in Oakland last Thurs
day evening loaded to the brim with
bad whiskey, cocaine and like drugs.
He made himself so obnoctious by his
actions that he was promptly put
under arrest by Policeman West and
taken to the lock up where he re-
manned just long enough to smash
the little bit of furniture in the room,
besides making wreck of the stove,
lamps, etc. TO keep him longer in
the prison furnished by the town was
out of the question, so he was COM
mitted 10 the county Jail by Justice
Sincell for safe keeping until he be-
came sober enough to have his hear
il *he charge of being drunk having
been lodged against him by the officer
making the arrest. When he was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Lee he
seemed docile enough and it was
cage and he was therefore given what
liberty the corridor of the Jail afford
ed. Shortly after his Incarceration
he proceeded to make things lively
by banging table around until he
had denuded it of it's legs and seizing
one of these he attacked the windows
with the result that in very short
time every pane of glass with the ex-
ception of two had been smashed
along with the sash. Henext turned
his attention to the electric lights
and wire in the Jail and did not desist
until he had made wreck of every
! thing movable, including the stove.
The damage to the Jail is estimated
to be about $50
Friday afternoon he was given a
hearing before the Justice who i'm
posed a fine of 81 and costs upon him
for being drunk This was settled
and the unwelcome visitor returned
to his native West Virginia hills on
train No. So.

A Public Meeting,

Last Saturday night at Sturgiss'
Hall a large number of the heaviest
tax payers of Oakland met for the
purpose of discussing ways and means
necessary for the financial betterment
of the town. The meeting was called
to order by Col. A. q. Sturgiss who
stated the object of the gathering in
a short and pointed address of few
minutes duration. Mr.. Benz. II. Sin
cell was made secretary of the meet
ing.
The committee of three citizens
composed of Messrs. r. X. Maroney,
j. M. Litzinger and Charles S. Davis
who had been appointed at a prelim-
mary meeting held on Friday even
ing TO wait upon the Mayor and Town
Council as well as Mr.. d. +. Offutt,
the owner of the electric plant, and
invite them to appear at the Satur-
day night meeting reported as having
performed the duty imposed upon
them.
Mr.. John w. Hart expressed the
sentiment that he thought the time
had arrived in the financial condition
of Oakland for something to be done
and that right speedily if we desire
to keep out of debt. He showed by
the last report made by the Mayor
and Council that at present the out
lay of the town for necessary expenses,
not taking into consideration the i'm
provement of its streets or the accu-
mutation of sinking fund to meet
the bonds issued some months ago
when they fall due, amounted to
$4,000, whilst the net income from
every source was but $3.50, and in
a few years it is evident to all well
informed citizens the income will be
deficient by at least 1000. The bulk
of this outlay is for electric light,
amounting to the sum of So, ,170 annu-
ally. To reduce the expenses of the
town it is necessary to reduce the
cost of lighting and for this purpose
the meeting was called in order to
ascertain the sentiment of the people
of Oakland in this respect.
Mr.. Offutt said that he felt as much
interest in the town at large as in the
would do anything reasonable to allie
viate the financial straits into which
the authorities have placed them
selves by entering into the tive-year
contract with him to furnish light at
Oilo ollpuidtcu suIl vi SS, lO per year.
This contract does not expire for two
years yet.
A number of other persons spoke
along the same line, some favoring
the discontinuance of the service
whilst others opposed the proposition
fand suggested that we could do with
incandescent lights at some places.
A suggestion was made that COM
mittee composed of three in coniunc-
tion with the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil be appointed to meet Mr.. Offutt
on Thursday night and ascertain
what arrangements could be made
whereby the expenses for lighting
could be reduced. The committee as
appointed is composed of Messrs
Thayer, Hart and Jones, who will
report at the meeting to be held to-
morrow night at Sturgiss' Hall when
the movement for retrenchment' in
public affairs will take definite shape.

Excellence of Advertising Methods.

Experience proves the value of a
thing, and it has certainly demonstra-
ted the excellence of advertising But
although so powerful a factor in the
business world, advertising has not
reached it's highest possible stage of
development. In general sense ad-
vertising is simply writing and pub
fishing an "ad.n But how to write it,
and when and where to publish it.,
are the secrets of the best advertising
system; and as the value of publicity
is constantly increasing there is a con-
stant incentive for further improve
ment-for higher degree of excel
